|
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.

The Jaguar E-Pace shows off a rather cab-forward look in these spy shots
Wed, Jan 11 2017It seems the Jaguar F-Pace may be getting a little sibling soon. A smaller crossover, which we expect will be called the E-Pace, has been caught during winter testing. The SUV seen here appears to be sized like compact luxury crossovers such as the Audi Q3 and BMW X1. This also fits with Jaguar's brand director's statements that it has been considering an SUV for this class. Much of the car is well camouflaged, but taking a close look, this E-Pace has a surprisingly short dash-to-axle ratio. It's not as drastic as the electric I-Pace concept, but there's so little space between the bumper and the base of the windshield that we sincerely doubt that a longitudinal inline-4 or V6 could be lurking under the hood. And, if the E-Pace does in fact use a transverse-mounted engine, it probably doesn't share a platform with any of its rear-drive-based stablemates. It may seem strange that a company known for its rear-drive cars is considering a transverse, front-drive-based vehicle, but there are reasons it may be going this way. For one thing, Jaguar's brand director said he wasn't sure that the company's existing platforms could be scaled down far enough for such a compact crossover. That would seem to preclude using an existing rear-drive platform or developing a totally new one. In fact, it only leaves one real option in the Jaguar Land Rover line for this vehicle: the Range Rover Evoque platform, which is also shared with the Discovery Sport. It's a small SUV platform with a transverse layout. It's also currently available and should be cheap to adapt; perfect for capitalizing on the hot crossover market. We just hope Jaguar can inject some more fun into it than Land Rover did with the Discovery Sport. Using that platform also means Jaguar would probably borrow one or more engines from the Evoque and Discovery Sport. In the US, both models are only offered with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 making 240 horsepower. Overseas, both vehicles are available with 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinders, making either 150 or 180 horsepower too. Considering that the 180-horsepower diesel model will arrive in the US under the hood of the Jaguar XE, it's possible that it will show up in the E-Pace as well. Don't expect any of the overseas manual transmissions to make the trip, though. Jaguar only offers a manual on the F-Type sports car in the US, so there really isn't any reason to add one to a small crossover.
Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
Jaguar XE hits the 'Ring wearing swirly camo
Wed, 21 May 2014Jaguar is happy to show off its new XE sedan on its social media sites, but when testing at the Nürburgring, it's a very different story. These spy shots show the new model in camouflage to make it much harder to discern, but there are still some intriguing details to pick out.
These photos give us a really good look at the XE's quirky rear end. The sedan has a super short trunk that almost fools you into thinking its a notchback, but the top edge of the trunk is clearly visible. It's a somewhat odd-looking design with the rear glass running underneath the roof's overhang to create an integrated spoiler. Despite the camo, the front end is the same as ever with a blunt edge and sharp headlights. Jag certainly isn't afraid to try something a little different compared to the XE's competitors, notably the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
Some technical details about the XE are already established. This 3 Series-fighter is slated to go on sale in foreign markets in 2015 and in the US in 2016. We know that it ride's on Jag's new aluminum platform that also underpins the C-X17 crossover concept, and power comes from a pair of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, available in petrol- or diesel-fueled configurations.
