This is a 1972 Jaguar XKE (E-Type) OTS Roadster – Series III Convertible. It is a remarkably beautiful car and turns heads every time it’s outside. This is a low mileage car with about 47K on the odometer. The 1972 model year was the 1st
full production year for the new V12 configuration. I’ve owned this Jaguar for
about 11 years. It has been garage kept
through my ownership and never been in the rain. I seldom drove the car in my 11+ years of
ownership. It is in excellent unrestored
condition with paint being done by the prior owner. There is no rust on the car and the body and undercarriage
is straight with no accidents or damage.
Overall it is an excellent clean original and unrestored example. All numbers matching with original engine, transmission,
and drivetrain. It has original real wire
wheels with knock-off hubs. This
beautiful roadster is an automatic and has factory air conditioning. I have
a clean title for the car. Interior is all original and
unrestored. Leather seats show some wear
however, are in great shape. Carpet and
dash are in excellent condition. Exterior is in great shape as
well. There is no rust on this car. Under bonnet is clean and rust free. Boot is rust free as well. No rust in tire well or rear quarter
areas. Includes wire wheel spare with
original jack, handle, knock-off wrench and hammer. All original boot liners and covers The convertible top is original
and in excellent shape for a 40+ years old!
The top mechanism works perfectly and the top overall looks great. The rear window is a bit yellow however still
provides visibility. The original tonneau
cover is also included and is in perfect condition. I also have the original owner’s
manual and several other books that I will include with the purchase. There is
one original key and I have a blank WASO key that will also be included (no
longer produced). I have some spare parts that I purchased many years ago that
I will also include. I have a clean title
for the car. Car has been tuned by local British car shop; new plugs, points,
rotor, cap, and plugs. Starts and runs
great. The only items that have been
replaced are the battery and starter.
The starter is a new high torque type and works great. I have the original factory starter that will
be included will the car as well. Jaguar history In 1971, the Jaguar E-Type
Series III introduced a V12 engine to the model. Jaguar called it the
"Ultimate Cat" and advertised the its inherent smoothness and absence
of engine noise. The small block V12 displaced 5.3 liters and produced 314
horsepower. Along with the new engine, the body entire car was lengthened for
additional cabin space. Along with the longer 105-inch wheelbase, the body had
flared wheel arches, revised bumpers, and a large scoop under the front grill. Inside
the V12 had an entirely new interior with new reclining seats, a center
console, new door panels and a revised steering wheel. The dashboard retained
much of the Series II layout, but included the 2+2 stowage areas above the
floorwells.

Jaguar recalls 1,500 XJ sedans over brake issues
Thu, Dec 18 2014A problem with the hydraulic brakes on the flagship XJ sedan has prompted Jaguar to issue a recall. The issue, as publicized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice you can read below, revolves around the brake line junctions underneath the affected vehicles, which may leak fluid, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the braking system. The problem only affects an estimated 1,571 units from the 2014 and 2015 model years, manufactured between February 6 and July 23, 2014. Owners of those affected units are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local Jaguar dealers to have the brake line junctions inspected and tightened. This issue appears to be unrelated to Jaguar's recent recall of several model lines, the XJ included, over a problem with the power steering system. RECALL Subject : Incorrect Torque of Brake Pipe Unions Report Receipt Date: NOV 19, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V741000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,571 Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC SUMMARY: Jaguar Land Rover North America (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Jaguar XJ vehicles manufactured February 6, 2014, to July 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the brake line junctions under the vehicle may leak brake fluid. CONSEQUENCE: A brake fluid leak may reduce the vehicle's braking ability, requiring additional distance to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake line junctions, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 16, 2015. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J048. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Jaguar C-X17 crossover concept revealed, hides new lightweight aluminum architecture
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Just as Jaguar teased earlier this month, the luxury marque is debuting its first-ever sports crossover concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins this week. In addition to previewing what a soft-roading Jag might look like, the C-X17 concept also showcases the brand's new advanced unibody aluminum architecture, which it calls the future of its brand.
The British automaker touts the new technical foundation as high-strength, lightweight and extremely stiff, and notes that it incorporates sustainable technologies such as a high-strength alloy made from recycled raw material. The architecture's flexibility means Jaguar will be able to simultaneously manufacture several vehicles on the same production line - a change that will ultimately help the automaker grow its product portfolio.
Indeed, if the C-X17 concept sees production, it would represent a completely new direction for Jaguar, which has previously focused on luxury sedans and sports cars. However, while Jaguar says a range of future models will be built using the new architecture, it hasn't yet mentioned a crossover. The first model to be built on the new underpinnings will launch globally in 2015, and it's - you guessed it - a premium midsize sedan.
Jaguar planning two bodystyles for next XJ
Wed, 17 Apr 2013As we alluded to in today's F-Type first drive, Jaguar hasn't been selling its wares in China for very long, and as a result, buyers there usually don't have the same appreciation for the brand's history. So you might reasonably think that the company's recent radical styling shift (kicked off by the 2008 XF) wouldn't be as jarring to the nation's buying populace since they really didn't have the automaker's more traditionally styled models from years past to compare them against.
Yet while Jaguar and its sister marque, Land Rover, continue to pick up steam in China's developing market, that apparently isn't necessarily the case. Local buyers there tend to have more conservative tastes when it comes to styling, preferring more upright dimensions, big back seats and larger quantities of traditional luxury materials (think: chrome and wood) than other markets currently find desirable. Thus, the very bold current-generation XJ sedan may be leaving some sales on the table.
According to Edmunds, Jag doesn't want to risk that, and as such, it is preparing two bodystyles for the next-generation XJ - one with the rakish coupe-like styling of the current model, and a more "old-school" three-box sedan designed to appeal to a wider swath of Chinese buyers.
