Ashburn, Virginia, United States
|
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. Hagerty's prices this out at $60-70K in current condition...reserve is well below that! 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.

Dick Van Dyke escapes his flaming Jaguar on the 101
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Actor Dick Van Dyke was caught in a dangerous situation on a Los Angeles highway (who are we kidding, every situation on an LA highway is dangerous), when his Jaguar XJ spontaneously caught fire. The 87-year-old actor/comedian pulled to the side and attempted to call emergency services when another motorist pulled him from the car. There seems to be some confusion as to whether Van Dyke was passed out or merely calling emergency services.
According to the photos and video from NBC and The Today Show, the car was thoroughly cooked in the blaze and is now a total loss. After the incident, Van Dyke's wife, Arlene, posted that the actor was "fine," sharing a Vine video of the star, the car, and a few CHP troopers that were on hand. Later in the day, Van Dyke tweeted a photo of his toasted sedan, saying, "Used Jag for sale REAL CHEAP!!"
You can view the Today show segment on the incident as well as Arlene Van Dyke's Vine video, below.
Jaguar XJ220 leaps into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, Feb 15 2016Having sadly canceled the C-X75 project and sat out today's hybrid hypercar race, it would be all too easy to forget about Jaguar as a supercar manufacturer altogether. But back in the early '90s, the British automaker didn't just play in the supercar game – it dominated it. The XJ220 was, for a time, the fastest car in the world. Jay Leno pays tribute in this latest video. Originally envisioned with a V12 engine and all-wheel drive, the XJ220 ultimately surfaced with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 driving the rear wheels alone. None of that kept it from eclipsing the top speed achieved by every supercar that came before with a terminal velocity that didn't quite reach the 220 miles per hour initially promised, but came pretty darn close. The disappointment in the change of specification lead some to dismiss the XJ220 as a failure, but it was still the fastest thing on the road until another British supercar (in the form of the McLaren F1) took its place at the pinnacle of automotive bragging rights. Two decades later, Jaguar quite nearly drove down the same road when its initial plans for the C-X75 changed from an experimental turbine powertrain to a multi-charged inline-four. Only this time the Leaping Cat marque didn't put it into production at all, save for a few prototypes and movie props – which is a bit of a shame, and then some. Watching Jay speed down memory lane in the supercar that almost never was, we're glad that Jaguar still built the XJ220, and saddened that it never followed up with another groundbreaking supercar today.

Watch a Jaguar F-Type R drag a parachute at 186 mph
Mon, Jun 15 2015With carbon-ceramic brakes on offer, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe can shed off speed even faster than it can rack it up. Even the standard steel rotors do a pretty good job of it. But what would happen if you deployed a parachute out the back of the Jag at 186 miles per hour, like you might with a drag racer? That's what the British automaker has found out in this latest video. And just why would they do such a thing, you ask? Because Bloodhound, that's why. Jaguar is providing technical support to the Bloodhound SSC land speed record attempt, and one of the roles into which the F-Type has been pressed is to check the parachute that will (along with the air brakes and rotors) form an integral part of the jet- and rocket-powered vehicle's run. To make sure the chute would do its job, the team put Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green behind the wheel of the specially equipped F-Type at the RAF air base in Bentwaters, Suffolk, UK, had him speed down the runway up to the car's top speed and deploy the chute. Fortunately, as you can see from the minute-long clip, everything seemed to have gone according to plan – though we're not sure about the logic behind the assertion that if "it worked at 180, it will definitely work at a thousand miles an hour."

The jet and rocket powered car, which aims to surpass the current record of 763.035mph before targeting 1000mph, has multiple braking systems including air-brakes ('doors' mounted on the side of the car which open to increase aerodynamic drag) and disc brakes (used when slowing down from 200mph).
