This Jaguar is a nice matching-numbers driving example of a Series 1.5 Roadster. I have owned it for about 25 years and it is time to pass it on to someone who will drive it. I no longer do mainly because it is too hard for me (and my wife) to get into/out of. This Jaguar is a Series 1.5 of which only 2801 were built in 1967 and 1968. The Series 1.5 retained the running lights above the bumpers like the Series 1 XKEs but did away with the glass headlight covers. Big improvements were made to the mechanical systems including dual electrical fans to eliminate overheating problems in stop and go traffic. Dual Stromberg carbs replaced the triple SU set-up for ease of tuning and increased reliability. Engine displacement also went up from 3.8 liter to 4.2 liter (260 HP). The brake system was also upgraded for increased reliability and stopping power and the transmission became an all synchromesh unit. These mechanical improvements were carried over to the Series 2 XKEs but they were also longer, wider and heavier than the earlier E-Types. Several years ago I had the engine redone by Donovan Jaguar in MA. More recently I had all the cosmetics done -- new British Racing Green paint, new leather interior, new chrome bright work, new wire wheels, new carpeting, new top & top cover, new stereo system speakers, new California car cover and more that I can't remember. That cost was in excess of $46,000. Prices on these beautiful cars are going up but I have priced this one at the lower end of the market. I have a clear Virginia title in hand along with many maintenance records, a water color painting of the car, and several Jaguar books that are included in the sale. I will consider delivering it (by trailer) anywhere east of the Mississippi River for a negotiated price once the car is paid for. This is a nice vintage car that will increase in value over time. If you have any questions please get in touch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Potential purchaser could not complete the transaction due to unexpected circumstances. His loss is your gain! Because this beautiful automobile is now available again! Good luck to all bidders! |

Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl ad to feature F-Type Coupe
Sun, 10 Nov 2013Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.
Never-was Jaguar C-X75 hybrid supercar driven by Autocar
Mon, 24 Jun 2013There's lucky, and then there's "I got to drive the Jaguar C-X75." The crew from Autocar is among the handful of souls who can honestly make the latter statement. Jaguar invited the publication down for a little time in both the passenger and driver seats around the automaker's proving grounds. While there's no end to the jealousy oozing from our pores, the good news is that there were a few cameras on hand to capture the experience. As you may recollect, the C-X75 Concept was a unique hybrid supercar concept built to duke it out with the likes of the Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 and the McLaren P1. The British automaker put it on track for production, but unfortunately stopped the project about six months ago.
With a twincharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine capable of revving to 10,000 rpm, the C-X75 concept yields 502 horsepower and gets partnered with four electric motors - one at each wheels. A 19kWh lithium-ion battery pack serves up 300kW of power, and combined, the motors and battery are capable of yielding an additional 194 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Combined, the driveline is good for more than 850 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Said another way, the C-X75 will do the 0-60 miles per hour dance in under three seconds.
And Autocar got to drive it. You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
Jaguar could yet offer more hardcore F-Type R-S
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Jaguar pulled a fast one on us all when it unexpectedly shoehorned all 550 horsepower of the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XKR-S into the new F-Type Coupe to supersede the existing V8 S model with the F-Type R. But that's just the beginning, according to the latest intel coming from the UK.
According to Autocar, in speaking to Jaguar design director Ian Callum during the coupe's unveiling at the LA Auto Show, the British automaker could yet offer R-S and R-S GT versions of the F-Type. Just what mechanical changes those would bring when the F-Type R already packs the company's top engine remains to be seen, but given that the same engine also powers the flagship XJR performance saloon, we could envision Jaguar developing an even more powerful version for R-S versions of the little coupe and big sedan.
The GT version, meanwhile, would likely offer more extreme aero and a lighter form for the truly performance-obsessed. Considering that the new top-of-the-line F-Type is already pushing the hundred-grand mark, you can bet any R-S and R-S GT version would approach double the base F-Type's $65k sticker price.
