The 1960's Jaguar roadster is the most beautiful car ever conceived and built. Sleek, sexy and low with incredible speed and agility, it makes one palpitate with igneous desire. If the purpose of an investment is to derive pleasure in seeing it appreciate, then this 1969 XKE Series II on offer will provide you every possible opportunity to gratify your senses. If you've been following the recent market, restored Series I XKE roadsters are now selling for well over $100K US making these Series II cars even more alluring and affordable. The Classic XKE is still within reach and this example is priced well below any competition to sell.
The pictures tell the full story. This car has been completely restored and is ready to show and drive. Never hit, rusted or welded, it has the most prized of color combinations: Signal Red with tan biscuit leather interior. Always a California car which has just returned from a two year vacation in Portland, OR. where it was always garaged and never driven in rain. Vin # 1R8604. She is bone straight save for a a very small parking lot ding on the left door, which you need to look hard to see. There are no issues to speak off mechanically. Engine and transmission were completely gone through 5 years ago by a previous owner; doesn't smoke and has great oil pressure. All electrical systems function except clock and horn. Suspension is all rebuilt. Brakes, exhaust and tires are new. Paint is 3 years old and is a single stage that's been cut and polished. All chrome was recently removed from the car and triple plated. A new windshield and top installed at that time. She runs and looks fantastic but is not a 100 pt. garage queen. She can be driven and enjoyed like the previous owners before her. Car is available for viewing anytime during the auction period not afterwards. I am an hour's drive North of Los Angeles. It is advertised locally and subject to prior sale. Title is clear. I welcome all international bidders and can assist in transport to port, around $250. Last I checked, Felixtowe or Southampton was around $1400. Ro/Ro. Not sure what other European ports would cost.

Jaguar takes bite out of Mercedes' Magic Body Control chicken ad
Tue, 17 Dec 2013We were quite impressed by Mercedes-Benz when it aired its Magic Body Control commercial, starring a group suitably funky chickens demonstrating their ability to jive to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Now, Jaguar has taken the opportunity to poke some fun at its German rival, releasing its own take on the Magic Body Control spot, and um, there's a big cat involved.
You'll really want to take a look at this video, which is just another sign that in terms of clever ads, Jaguar is doing quite well. We aren't sure if "Jaguar vs. Chicken" will make it onto TV any time soon, but it's still fun to see the British brand take the mickey out of Mercedes - it's rare to see automakers go after each other so bluntly in their marketing efforts. Scroll down to watch the video (we've also included a bonus video, Jag's recent "Cat In A Box" spot).
Watch this bad parker get what's coming to him
Fri, 02 Aug 2013If you're lucky enough to have a nice vehicle, do your fellow gearheads a favor and don't park like a clown. Seriously. Not only will you anger everyone who is trying to find a place to park, but your nice car is a billboard reinforcing the stereotype that car people are self-important and inconsiderate.
Take this gentleman for example. He has a Jaguar XK, and understandably wants to take care of it. Rather than parking it far, far away from any other cars and getting a bit of exercise by walking to his building, he takes up two spots (albeit barely) close to the structure. From the cameraman's narration, we can tell his coworkers are less than thrilled about his inability to stay between the lines.
Naturally, they wanted to teach him a lesson, so they parked a bigger vehicle as close to his driver's door as possible. Mr. XK's attempts to enter his vehicle are rather amusing, culminating in his climbing through the passenger side and scooching over to the driver's seat. While we can debate this sort of treatment all day long, it was effective. The video includes a follow up at the end showing where the XK driver parked the next day, and as you might guess, it wasn't in the same spot.
Jaguar Land Rover signs manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr
Thu, Jul 2 2015Jaguar Land Rover is in the midst of implementing big plans. Those include a raft of new models, and a series of new manufacturing facilities to build them. It seems, however, that the former is outpacing the latter, as the British automaker has just announced a new manufacturing contract to have some of its vehicles built off-site. The latest deal is with Magna Steyr, the contract manufacturer based in Graz, Austria. That could see a Land Rover produced at the same facility that has handled the Mercedes G-Class since 1979, or a Jaguar at the same place that assembled the Aston Martin Rapide until 2012 when production was moved back to the UK. The big question at this point is just what JLR will choose to have Magna build on its behalf. The British automaker isn't saying at this point, but a spokesman confirmed to Autoblog that it will be a future product – not an existing line moved from its current production site to the contract manufacturer, as Mercedes recently did with the R-Class. A timeline wasn't announced at this early stage, either, but we're told it will take about 24 months before new Jaguars or Land Rovers start rolling out of the plant in Austria. Just what those new vehicles will be remains to be seen, but Jaguar Land Rover has a number of new products on their way. It is expected to reveal in the near future a new Defender, a replacement for the current LR4/Discovery, the new Evoque convertible, a new XJ flagship sedan, and possibly a new coupe and convertible to take the place of the old XK. We'll soon see the new Jaguar F-Pace, which may be followed by additional crossovers as well. The company also recently introduced the new XE, XF, and Discovery Sport models, though given the timeframes, they'll almost certainly be produced at JLR's existing facilities. It recently opened its first overseas plant in China, has another one under construction in Brazil, and is also said to be considering a plant in North America on either side of the US-Mexican border. Jaguar Land Rover Signs Contract Manufacturing Agreement With Magna Steyr Whitley, UK - Jaguar Land Rover has agreed a manufacturing partnership with Magna Steyr, an operating unit of Magna International Inc, to build some future vehicles in Graz, Austria.
