 Once in a blue moon something truly outstanding comes along ... this is that 'something'. If one word could describe this 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+2 it would be 'stunning'. This is no feral cat. The most luxurious of the XKE range, the 2+2 was built for comfort.
Add to that, superior condition and the best color combination available - 'British Racing Green' with 'Biscuit' leather interior - and you've got an investment quality classic car you can be very proud of for years and years. Price trends for all XKEs have been continually rising for years. The consensus among automotive journalist is that they fully expect them to proceed in that direction - UP and UP. In 'Brit Speak' thie Jaguar has been 'well sorted'. An investment that you can take daily pleasure from. This XKE is how you'd like to find one - well cared for, turn-key and ready for your driving pleasure  Through the following photos and descriptions (there are many as there is nothing to hide here), I'll attempt to show what a well cared for vehicle this 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+2 - Series III is. Please view all the photos and read the descriptions ... then decide for yourself if this the vehicle for you. Just 66,074 actual miles to date (only 1,600 miles per year on average) - all well cared for from day one.
 Wouldn't this Jag look good sitting in your driveway?  Interspersed with actual photos of this exceptional XKE 2+2 are a few period adverts ... for both the information they contain and a little British flavor.  With two daughters in college and a recent back surgery that now makes it difficult getting in and out of the Jag ... it just seems like the right time to fine her a new home.  From any angle this Jaguar has the lines that have been talked about in the automotive industry for years. A sense of true style that many have tried to emulate with precious few succeeding. It's a 'benchmark' that's very high ... it set the notion of a true 'sports car' for years and years. An icon of the era and 'British' in every sense of the word.  Compare this Jag with the Audi and Range Rover in the background.
 Well, a refined animal anyway. Like a Swiss watch on steroids.  The XKE was a radical design for its time ... it sort of put the 'swoop' in sports car design.  The interior is well appointed, in great condition ... and, everything works. All of it.  The odometer is in good working order and now reads just 66,074 actual miles (only 1,612 miles / year average for 41 years) Yep, a 'Country Club' car. Low miles with exquisite care. Just how you'd like to find one.  Well appointed in every way.  'Connally' hides throughout ... all in the quite desirable 'biscuit' color.
 4-speed manual transmission - the best. It there a true sports car with an automatic? The 4-speed shifts flawlessly and is in perfect working order.  'Jaguar' OEM rubber mats with the Jaguar logo have protected the floors since new.  This period advert kind of says it all.  All the leather upholstery is in excellent condition and has acquired a gentle, pleasing 'patina' over the years.  Yes, two adults can 'squeeze' in here, just ... 2 children or teens, no problem.  Seat backs are also in fine condition ... no rips, tears, gouges or broken seams.  Lots of good information here.  Another creature comfort of the 2+2 is the rear hatch with room enough for all the luggage for an extended weekend. You can even have custom fitted luggage handmade by a few of the specialty shops that advertise on the web.  A bag of clubs, a bagged sail or two, your eBay purchases ... lots of room for what have you.  Again, all in excellent condition.  You have to love the Enzo Ferrari quote in the upper right of this advert ...
 It's time for a look under the hood ...  Like I said previously, a Swiss watch on steroids.
 This V12 has been meticulously maintained since day one. It's a beautifully designed engine what has been trouble free.
 This big V12 in a small compartment is, at best, hard to photograph. A simple web search will bring up all the specs. of this fine V12 engine if you'd care to delve further.  This 'E-Type' has always been well cared for - a weekend driver as these many photos well show. Its always started with a simple twist of the key and has gone with nary a hiccup for years on end.  Tuned to perfection, it's ready when you are.  Sorry for the blurry photo - the ID Tag showing a build date of 1973 and the VIN # UD1S74461  A period ad from a previous model with the smaller 4.2 liter inline 6-cylinder engine.  Now a look at the interesting bits ... the chassis, suspension and exhaust system.  Up she goes for a good looking over - or under, whatever the case may be.  Beautiful chrome wire wheels with true knockoff hubs. This XKE sports a near new set of 'Michelin - Harmony' radial tires in the correct size of: P215/65R15. They might have a few hundred miles on them at this point. This is a matched set of five 'Michelin' tires - four on the vehicle and a spare located under the boot.  The suspension if in top notch condition throughout. Disk brakes all around, of course.  Rear suspension with new 'Boge' shocks.  Note the mud splatters on the fenders ... promptly taken care of on arrival at home.  Routine maintenance has been performed throughout its 41 year life.
 Stainless steel (read: expensive) dual exhaust with a 4-port exit - and, a sound that will stir your soul.  Custom fabricated upgrade - a highly efficient, all aluminum alloy radiator.
 Two models were available for 1973 - the roadster and the 2+2.  Left rear ...  Right rear.  A close-up of the 'Boge' rear shocks. 
 One of the proud crew that has helped service and maintain this XKE over the years.  As a tribute to these great guys ... You've been fantastic to work with. Thank you.  Another advert from the period. This one looks to be photographed in Scotland.  The following group of photos are various detail shots that need little or no explanation. I truly want you to feel as if you're here 'kicking tires' for yourself.
 The spare is located under the rear deck. Again, just one of the matched set of 5 'Michelins'.  Tool kit included ... Knockoff hammer, jack, tool bag.  Still more detail shots .... I truly want to leave no stone unturned in this eBay offering. 
 From my garage to yours ... it can be simple and easy.  It'd look good in anyone's garage ... it's that good.  Another glamor shot ... 
 'Jaguar Clubs of America' selected this Jaguar for their 2011 calendar.
This and the following image are scans of that calendar with an owner's note.  This and the next image are a brief history of ownership. 
 A scan of the initial contact with the third party used to inspect the XKE before my purchase from a Dentist in southern Virginia who had owner it for 18 years or so.  And a ball park appraisal from 'Southside British Cars' during this inspection period.  A scan of a spreadsheet I've kept on the Jag since my initial purchase.
 This and the following three pages are scans of the detailed inspection I had 'Southside British Cars' perform on the car.

Full disclosure is what I'm after here .... I want you to know what your buying. This 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+2 is not perfect in every way ... it's very close and as fine an example of the model that one could ever expect for a 41 year old vehicle. There are minor imperfections as one would well expect ... very minor indeed. Some very slight paint chips and a few minor scratches that can't possible be shown in photos like these.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla store reboot, Jaguar "EV-Type" an electric F-Pace?
Thu, Aug 27 2015The Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate (CHEAPR) program is creating demand for EVs. $1 million has been set aside for rebates ranging from $750 to $3,000 per car, depending on battery size (in addition to federal incentives). Dealers also get an incentive of $150 to $300 per vehicle to help motivate them to promote EVs. "This is the type of program that can be a win-win-win for the state, auto manufacturers, dealers and consumers," says Chevrolet dealer Leo Karl, who has seen a jump in demand for the Volt under the CHEAPR program. Karl expects the funds to run out as early as this fall. Read more at Automotive News. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is scheduled to go on sale in the US in May 2016. As Mitsubishi makes some changes, including plans to ditch its Normal, IL assembly plant, the company's future in the US is being called into question. The new date for the plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander comes after multiple delays. Mitsubishi also plans to offer a 2016 model of the i-MiEV despite slowing sales. Read more at Automotive News. Tesla is overhauling its stores in advance of the Model X going on sale. The revamp includes informative interactive displays and a heavier emphasis on Tesla merchandise sales. The displays provide information about safety, Autopilot technology, the charging network, electric motors and other information to help familiarize customers with Tesla. The Tesla Design Collection - which includes luggage, apparel and other gear - also helps position Tesla as a luxury lifestyle brand, rather than just a mere automaker. Expect the stores to be continually updated over time. "Tesla is able to pivot in their stores the way they release new software," says Cadent Consulting Group's Ken Harris. "This is important to an emerging brand." Learn more from Bloomberg. Could Jaguar be planning an electric F-Pace called the EV-Type to compete with the Tesla Model X? Autocar is reporting that the upcoming SUV from Jaguar could spawn a whole family of vehicles, including an all-electric version. Jaguar has registered the trademark for the EV-Type name, and that vehicle would likely be built at the Magna Steyr factory in Graz, Austria. That would free up capacity to build the traditionally powered F-Pace in the UK. Read more at Green Car Reports, or at Autocar.
U.S. issues new tariff threat, this time against British-built cars
Mon, Jan 27 2020WASHINGTON — Britain is the United States' closest ally but their long friendship may be sorely tested as the two countries try to forge a new trade agreement after Britain's exit from the European Union. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday in London that he was optimistic that a bilateral deal with Britain could be reached as soon as this year. But Mnuchin gave up no ground after a second meeting with his UK counterpart, Sajid Javid. Javid has insisted that Britain will proceed with a unilateral digital services tax, despite a U.S. threat to levy retaliatory tariffs on British-made autos. Mnuchin told reporters after Saturday's meeting that such taxes would discriminate against big U.S. tech companies like Alphabet Inc's Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. The UK Treasury declined to comment on the private meeting. The divide highlights the challenges ahead as the Trump administration seeks a new bilateral agreement with Britain, part of a broader push to rebalance relations with nearly all its major trading partners. The stakes are high — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pegged the trade deal with United States as a way to ease the pain of breaking with Europe, Britain's largest trade partner. U.S. President Donald Trump, has promised a "massive" trade deal to support Brexit, the product of a populist movement similar to his "America First" agenda. The goodwill and special relationship the two countries have enjoyed for decades may not count for much, experts say. "Trump is not going to be doing Johnson any favors," said Amanda Sloat, a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution in Washington. "He's not going to give him a trade deal without major concessions." Even before the digital tax issue arose, the Trump administration threatened to tax foreign car imports, which could hit British-made Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, and Honda Civic hatchback cars. Stiff U.S. trade demands include increased access for U.S. farm goods, concessions that will be difficult for Britain's entrenched natural food culture to swallow. The United States also wants Britain to change the way its National Health Service prices drugs and allow in more U.S. pharmaceuticals, which could prove politically unpopular for Johnson's government. Washington's demand that London block Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd for national security reasons could also cloud talks.
Ian Callum says Jaguar could do new wagon after all
Wed, Apr 27 2016Just the other day we brought you a report from Automotive News Europe that indicated that Jaguar was getting out of the wagon market. Now it turns out that may not actually be the case. Following the ANE report, Jaguar design boss Ian Callum tweeted out that he had been misquoted. "I said there would be no XE Sportbrake," wrote Callum. "Nothing more!" While stopping short of spelling out what the British automaker has in the pipeline, Callum's implication (by process of elimination of other Jaguar models) is that the new XF could still breed a wagon version. The previous XF Sportbrake, which also came in XFR-S performance spec, was only the second wagon Jaguar had ever made. The first was based on the X-Type that preceded the new XE; offering a long-roof version of that new sports sedan is apparently off the table, but even with the new F-Pace crossover ostensibly filling the role, a new XF Sportbrake could yet become a reality. Of course none of that means that such a wagon would make its way to North America. But we take a great deal of stock in what Callum has to say on the subject, seeing as how he designed every one of the models in question. The X-Type Sportwagon was offered Stateside, however the XF Sportbrake never was, and in addition the F-Pace promises to be a big player for the automaker on this side of the Atlantic. Do you think Jaguar should make a wagon out of the new XF, and bring that wagon to these United States? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
