CONDITION
Start with a 95-point 1990 restoration to original specs, colors and trim by one of the oldest and most respected Jag shops in the U.S. Add five years of driving, sorting, detailing, maintaining and upgrading (with $30,000 of receipts) by a fanatic owner and T's Sunrise, Colorado's premier English car garage. And you have a turn-key classic car that is breathtaking in appearance and rock-solid in driving quality--no squeaks, no rattles. You can idle in traffic on a 100 degree day and never overheat. Everything works from the wipers and windscreen washer, to the tiny clock in the tachometer. Well, if you know English cars, the heater doesn't work all that well and the convertible hood is finicky and might leak a bit. Best to drive as the Queen intended--with the top down and the spirits up. This is not a Pebble Beach car but a state concours winner that is fast, reliable, totally sorted and worth the extra money up front that won't be spent later. FEATURES
RECOGNITION -2011 First Place Blue Ribbon winner (with 239 out of 240 points) at the state's most prestigious car show, the Colorado Cerebral Palsy Concours d'Elegance) -Featured in the Mile High Sports Magazine "Summer Fun" issue, June 2013 (issue included) -Featured in the Mile High Sports Magazine "Snow Angels" issue, December 2008 (issue and giant poster included) HISTORY -Build Date: April 23, 1965 - Coventry, England -Current custodian is the fourth known owner -Third owner, a Californian, directed the XK's Unlimited restoration from July 1989 to December 1990 before moving to Boulder, Colorado -Matching Numbers: VIN (1E 10973); Body (4E 2203); Engine (7E 3858 9--original 9:1 compression ratio, lowered to 8:1); Gearbox (EJ 2924) CURRENT OWNER The seller is a 66-year-old retired high school athletic administrator who is known locally for his modest garaged collection of classics that have either been a part of his real or fantasy life. In the last four years he has won 1st place awards in the Colorado CP Concours d'Elegance with four different cars: 1967 Porsche 911 (purchased new by his father), 1971 VW Superbeetle (purchased new in Colorado), 1978 BMW 320i (purchased new) and the Jag. His overriding philosophy of classic car ownership is that while all the cars must look as perfect as possible they must be driven on a regular basis. The smallest of mechanical or cosmetic issues must be immediately addressed and corrected. The only reason the owner is willing to part with this E-Type is that he as purchased a 1967 XKE and has no more garage space.

If you believe that buying the best classic that you can afford (let the seller spend the money on the restoration and upgrades) is economical in the long run, you'll be happy with this Jag for years to come. |

Jaguar Land Rover to cut $6.8 billion in costs
Tue, Nov 10 2015Jaguar Land Rover reduce costs by $6.8 billion and will push annual production volume to 1 million vehicles under a secret project called Leap 4.5, according to Reuters. The British automaker wants to achieve these ambitious goals by the end of the decade to compensate for the changing market in China and to counteract the price of meeting stricter emissions standards around the world. Leap 4.5 won't mean firing workers or cutting the automaker's $4.5 billion annual research budget. JLR will instead find savings by underpinning more models with modular platforms and by adjusting its supply chain. Future factories like the one in Brazil and the proposed plant in Slovakia also won't be affected by the new strategy. Globally, JLR continues to grow, and deliveries are up two percent through October 2015 to 390,965 vehicles. Business just last month was up 24 percent year-over-year to 41,553 units. However, the auto market's downturn in China has taken a bite out the automaker's success because volume dropped there 32 percent in the third quarter, Reuters reported. A global volume of 1 million vehicles will mean more than doubling 2014's 462,678 deliveries, but JLR has made significant investments to boost production recently. In addition to the future factories, it opened its first plant in China last year and an engine assembly site in the UK. The company also signed a deal with Magna Steyr in 2015 to build an upcoming model in Austria. Related Video:
Jaguar recalling XK Convertible and XF 2.0T sedan for unrelated issues
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that it will be recalling 1,989 XK Convertibles produced between October 1, 2010 and August 1, 2013. Model years ranging from 2011 to 2014 are part of the recall.
The issue has to do with one of the switches the switch that controls the opening and closing of the convertible top. The switch also has to do with the operation of the power windows. According to the Feds, the switch doesn't move down to close the power windows, meaning that the window could accidentally close on the finger or arm of an inattentive person.
In related news, Jaguar is also recalling 940 2013 XF sedans powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for a hose that can detach underhood, which could cause the engine to stall or could leave the driver without power steering or brakes.
