ENGINE/TRANSMISSION
The engine was completely overhauled and rebuilt in 2004. It was done by Sun Automotive in Sausalito, California
known for their excellent work on Jaguars. At that time a new clutch was installed. It is a Corvette clutch which
is a popular and practical (better) thing to do with XKEs. Instead of using a Corvette throwout bearing, they
stayed with a Jaguar throwout bearing. It will last well over 100,000 miles as long as you never hold the clutch
pedal down at a stop. Clutch in, shift to neutral, clutch out. It's a Jaguar thing. Just like the small oil leak
from the engine and transmission-not bad, just enough to leave a spot on the floor. The transmission shifts solidly
and smoothly and there is no whine or noise.

BODY and PAINT
When it was repainted it back , the body was stripped naked. From the photographs (see photo), no rust
is evident nor is there any evidence of repairs. I went over the entire body with a cloth wrapped magnet and paint
gauge looking for signs of heavy Bondo and found none. The Regency Red paint is incredible for being 30+ years old.
There is no fading, no hazing, no checking, no cracking, and only one rock chip (see video). There's chipped paint
where the hood meets the body on the drivers's side near the wiper. My guess is the hood struck a tool that wasn't
removed when the hood was closed. The paint was done by Images in Cupertino, California who are known to specialize
in Jaguars. It is the perfect color for this Jaguar. The photos, while good, do not do this car justice. The color
gives the XKE an elegant, rich, and sophisticated appearance. It most certainly stands out above all the rest. I
would have the car ceramic coated- It would be spectacular. The doors, hatch, and bonnet all open and close without
effort. Both doors need to be adjusted so that rear edge fit flush the the body- about 3/16". Same with the top of
the window frames. All of the weatherstrip is intact and in beautiful shape.

CHROME
The chrome was completely re-done at the time of restoration and is it excellent shape today. There are no
scratches, no pits, no peeling, no clouding–it's perfect.

GLASS
There are no chips in the windshield. All the glass is scratch free with the exception of the roll up windows. The
passenger side has a half inch long faint scratch. The driver side has very light scratches as a result of the
window going up and down (see video).

WHEELS/TIRES/BRAKES
The wheels are Jaguar spoke and are true knock offs. Including the spare. They are 15" x 7". The chrome plating is
in excellent shape. The tires are Mitchelin X Raidials: P205/70R15. They have been on the car since the restoration
and they show no signs of cracking or bulging. However, because of their age, I would be leery about using them on
any kind of a trip. The brakes feel solid with no pull to one side. The rear rotors and pads were just recently
replaced- the front rotors and pads did not need replacing or service. The parking brake holds.

INTERIOR
The interior is a medium camel color which beautifully augments the Regency Red. It was redone following original
design with Conolly leather imported from England. None of the leather components have tears, abrasions, or stains
with only one small cut in the drivers door sill (see video). The leather is soft and pliable-another sign of how
well the XKE was maintained. The headliner is a woolen type of material and shows no sign of dirt, staining, or
burns. The sunvisors are made of the same material and are in the same shape as the headliner. They do not droop.
The rearview mirror holds position and is crystal clear. The rear luggage area appears to have never been used. The
drivers arm rest has fingernail scratches and the shifter housing’s leather is damaged (see video).

DASH/GAUGES
The dash is in good condition. There is a crack between the tachometer and speedometer. The gauges were rebuilt.
When the speedometer returned from restoration, it was set at approximately 12,500 miles. When it went to
restoration it read approximately 65,000 miles. It now reads 29,590. All of the switches work. The clock does not
work. The dashboard is in excellent condition.

DRIVEABILITY
The steering is tight, light, and crisp-there is no play. The XKE drives straight down the road and does not tend
to wander. It is a delight to drive. While driving, you know you're driving a classic-it's a wonderful feeling! You
get a lot of attention with waves, high-fives, and thumbs up everywhere you go. When ever you stop, be prepared to
answer a lot of questions about the car. This car is special even to the novice’s eye.

Included are Jaguar owners manual, Jaguar repair manual, the files containing all of the receipts, concoure judging
sheets, and info pertaining to his Dad's ownership. Three of the prestigious awards are also included along with a
car cover.

Jaguar Land Rover reportedly developing Road Rover car

Tue, Sep 26 2017

Reports are circulating in the automotive media that Jaguar Land Rover is developing a vehicle that's not an SUV. Called the Road Rover, it would be an all-electric luxury car with "some" all-terrain capability, hinting at all wheel drive. Initially, the EV would launch in late 2019, then spawn more models to complete the lineup. There is also talk about JLR's interest in an outright purchase of an existing luxury car brand to join its portfolio, and that parent company Tata has already given this strategic move the green light. Tata has also reportedly made moves to protect its JLR ownership via acquiring more of its own stock. All this excitement brings to mind the fact that there once existed an actual Road Rover — the Rover brand. Having evolved into MG Rover before going into administration in 2005 and subsequently reborn in China under SAIC Motor ownership, Rover was a moderately posh British carmaker just beneath the level of prestige that Jaguar offered. For some years, both were part of the same corporation. The last Rover saloons were designed and built with BMW input, and at that point Land Rover had already become part of Ford, almost a decade after Jaguar did. Ford's tenure with Land Rover lasted from 2000 to 2008, when Tata bought the British brand — along with the Rover name. Would it just make sense to badge the road car Rover, with no Road or Land affixed to it? Rover's slovenly demise is more than a decade old now, but there's plenty of valuable history still embedded in the long-shelved Viking ship logo. Cast aside memories of Sterling-badged Honda Legend platform siblings and unattractively Federalized SD1 series cars, and take whatever good the 1999-2005 Rover 75 brought to the table — maybe it's time for Rover to be reborn in the current Jaguar Land Rover family. According to Autocar, the first Road Rover would be developed in tandem with the next-generation Jaguar XJ, so they would share an aluminum architecture suitable for both internal combustion engines and battery electric technology, depending of the model. If anything, there is delicious irony to this: The 1980s XJ generation that Jaguar spent decades developing was claimed to be engineered in such a way that the occasional stablemate Rover's Buick-derived 3,5-liter V8 wouldn't have fit in its engine bay — to preserve the Jaguar bloodline. To have the new XJ and a Rover cross paths again would only be fitting. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe proves sexy can't be disguised

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

Jaguar's new F-Type is a pretty potent little pouncer. And while we do love a good roadster, many of us at Autoblog are perhaps more excited about the upcoming hardtop version of Jag's stylish new entry-level sports car. Why? Because even here in heavily camouflaged prototype form, the thing looks really, really good - the sleek roofline blending rather nicely into the F-Type's shapely rump, allowing for better distinction of its pronounced hips over the rear wheel wells.
Mechanically speaking, the F-Type Coupe should be identical to its droptop sibling. That means the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engine lineup should carry over unchanged, though we've heard rumors about a four-cylinder application as well. There's also talk of hotter R, R-S or R-S GT models coming down the pipeline, and based on what we've experienced in things like the XKR-S, we certainly can't deny the allure of such a model.
It's unclear exactly when Jaguar will show the production F-Type Coupe (at the Frankfurt Motor Show, perhaps?), but the car is expected to go on sale sometime in 2014. Check it out in our latest spy gallery, above.

2017 Jaguar F-Type slashes $3,600 off base model

Thu, Nov 12 2015

It won't be quite such a drain on the checking account to hop into a Jaguar F-Type for the 2017 model year. The 2017 F-Type Coupe will start at $62,395 (after the $995 destination charge), which is $3,600 less than the 2016. Jag will also give the convertible a $2,700 price cut to begin at $66,395. Drivers won't really be giving up amenities with either of these. Both entry models will use the company's supercharged 3.0-liter V6 making 340 horsepower and a six-speed manual transmission. They'll come with partially electric six-way adjustable seats and a fixed metal roof for the coupe. New standard features will include a valet mode, solar attenuating windshield glass, and the brand's EliteCare warranty with five-years/60,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance. The vehicles also still pack navigation and a surround sound stereo system. The 2017 F-Types will arrive at dealers in late spring 2016. The move to cut prices follows on Jag's decision in September to slash the cost of the XF 35t by over $5,200. Related Video: THE 2017 JAGUAR F-TYPE • 2017 Model Year F-TYPE lineup to include new $61,400 1 F-TYPE Coupe and new $65,400 1 F-TYPE Convertible entry models, reducing available cost of entry to the sports car family by $3,600 and $2,700 respectively • Standard Best-in-Class Jaguar EliteCare Ownership Package 2 Featuring New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Roadside Assistance, Jaguar InControl® Protect & RemoteTM and the Longest Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance Package of any Luxury Brand in the Market (Mahwah, N.J) – November 12, 2015 – Jaguar North America today announced it will expand the price range of the F-TYPE lineup in the U.S. for the 2017 model year to include new entry-level coupe and convertible models which lower the introductory price of the F-TYPE Coupe & Convertible to $61,400 1 and $65,400 1 respectively. The 2017 line-up of Jaguar sports cars will continue to consist of the F-TYPE, F-TYPE S and the range topping F-TYPE R. The addition of a new entry price level for 2017 Jaguar F-TYPE builds upon the pricing realignment strategy announced as part of The Next Generation of Jaguar for the 2016 model year in which an improved competitive value position was brought to market through a combination of new entry priced models, increased standard equipment and lower MSRPs that all help the brand target the heart of the luxury market.
