Offered for your bidding is a solid & eye catching vintage 1965 Jaguar S type saloon, which was lovingly restored & customized in 2008 by a Jaguar enthusiast rom whom I purchased this car. The elegant lines and detail of this automobile are enhanced by the classic color combination - the epitome of British automobile styling. Imagine yourself behind the wheel of this beauty on a sunny summer afternoon, or winding down a country lane on a colorful autumn morning ? When this car rolls down the street, expect heads to turn, and jaws to drop - its that good looking ! Please review all of my photos to appreciate the elegant detail of this very special automobile, and read my detailed descripton below:

All the specifics about the mechanical aspects are information taken from the man who restored the car, and are related as such. This car was taken down to the bare metal and completely restored with several upscale customizations. The body is painted a classic British racing green (I have some extra paint for future touch-ups, if needed), with all original chrome trim. Wire wheels with chrome 'knock-off' hubs. Original chrome grille, leaper, and Jaguar grille medallion. The interior ceiling fabric, carpet, and vinyl door panels were all replaced in the restoration. Interior wood trim was also beautifully restored retaining original chrome details, and the restorer put in a nicely customized console around the stick shift. The car is equipped with buff color leather seats from a circa 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas. The front seats have electric power operation, and the rear seats have laquered burl wood fold-out cocktail tables, and center arm-rest. The dash retains all original switches and Smiths gages, set into a rich burl wood dashboard with a pull-out cocktail tray in the center. All gages work, except for speedometer (which is not connected). There are no seat belts (car pre-dates the regulation) but these can be added by the new owner, should they choose to.

The engine was replaced with a powerful custom built engine comprised of the following: GM 350 8-cylinder block, new pistons with Corvette connecting rods, rings, and oil pump. Aluminum heads, approximately 10 to 1 compression, with high lift rockers on 3/8 studs, andHolley 650 cfm carburator. It features an Edelbrock intake, camshaft, and lifters with an upgraded 4 row core radiator with electirc temperature controlled cooling fan. Transmission is Tremec t-5 overdrive 5 speed, with cast iron bellhousing, heavy duty clutch, 11" pull type clutch slave cylinder. Rear gears 3.54 Professionally made and balanced driveshaft - with drive train bolted to original mounts with specially fabricated conversion mounts - so this car could easily be returned to a stock engine and transmission. Front brakes were upgraded to Volvo 240 4 pot calipers (per suggestion from jaglovers.com). The twin fuel pumps (remember, these cars have twin gas tanks - one on each side) are also new as of the 2008 restoration. The original odometer reads 69, 111 miles - based on the original Jag engine which was removed. As a car that was only occassionally driven in summer months since restoration, I can only estimate that the new engine has fewer than 5,000 miles on it. This vehicle just passed its annual New York State inspection the end of July.

The ride in this car is smooth, due to the independent front & rear suspension which Jaguar pioneered and was famous for. The engine starts & runs extremely well, and it is a dependable car (thanks in part to the GM engine replacement, which accounts for reliablity and easy repairs). There is a very basic AM/FM stereo radio with casstte player in the dash. There is no A/C, and no power steering - however these can be added if you wish. There is ample room in the engine well and a space to mount the power steering pump, etc. if you wish to do this. As mentioned previously, the spedometer is not connected, nor is the parking brake (since its standard transmission, you leave it in gear when you park and its not going anywhere), nor are the fog lights mounted to the bumper - which for the moment are ornamental. The paint if in very good condition, glossy, with only a minor scratch or two. Chrome trim is all original and good condition, however the front & rear bumpers are quite spotted - but overall display well (they can easily be removed and re-chromed by the new owner, if you're particulary fastidious). The only body /cosmetic issue I should make you aware of is a small, approx 8 to10" area beginning to show deterioration on the underside rear side area (near back bumper) on drivers' side. Dealing with this now at your local body shop should be relatively inexpensive, and save it from advancing.

I have described this car and provided photos to convey description to the best of my ability. This car is being sold "as-is" and as such, there are no warranties impiled or extended with this vehicle. Buyer is responsible for pre-bid inspection, and must make their own transport arrangements. I will assist in coordinating this as best I can. Buyer agrees to pay $1,000 deposit via PayPal at end of auction, with the balance due within 48 hours in the form of cash or certified funds,and will take possession and remove the vehicle within 7 days. Your bid is a binding contact, so please make sure you have read the description, terms, and agree to them before bidding as this is a final sale.

Jaguar C-X17 resurfaces in China with gold finish, five-seat cabin [w/video]

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Some concept cars make the rounds of the auto shows and are then retired. But a number of automakers are showing that a fresh coat of paint can go a long way towards rejuvenating a show car and giving it a new lease on life - at least as far as the auto show circuit is concerned. Lexus did that recently with the LF-LC concept, initially unveiling it in red at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, then repainting it a dark shade of blue for the subsequent shows in Australia and LA. Mini did the same with the Rocketman concept. And now Jaguar has done it again with its C-X17.
Initially unveiled in electric blue at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Jaguar then rolled the crossover out again in liquid silver for the Dubai Motor Show earlier this month. Now the concept is back again at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China with a fresh coat of rose gold.
Looking decidedly more luxurious than the previous iterations, this gilded C-X17 concept also bears another change: while the previous versions featured a four-seat cabin, this one has been redone with a more conventional five-seat configuration that more buyers would likely go for. It's also got a new interactive infotainment system and another system that warns passengers of pedestrians or cyclists approaching from the rear before they open the door. Check it out in the high-res image gallery above and the video clip below for a closer look.

Jaguar teases four-door EV grand tourer; electric Range Rover orders open this year

Wed, Apr 19 2023

Jaguar just revealed a few vital details about a new EV it says will be revealed by the end of 2023, and Land Rover shared a little update about its upcoming electric Range Rover, too. Starting with the Jag, JLR — the new, official name for Jaguar Land Rover — announced that its next electric vehicle will be a four-door GT car. The image above is the teaser the company provided. Power output will be greater than any previous Jaguar, with the current record holder being the XE SV Project 8 at just over 590 horsepower. Range is claimed to be about 430 miles on a full charge (Jaguar doesn't specify the test cycle type), but that number could be different (and likely lower) here in the United States once EPA testing takes place. Jaguar says the grand tourer will debut its new in-house EV platform that is officially named JEA, which is unrelated to the electric XJ that was scrapped a couple years ago. And lastly, Jaguar says the vehicle will start at GBP100,000 in Great Britain. Pricing for the United States wasnÂ’t estimated, but a direct conversion at todayÂ’s rates puts it at about $124,000. Considering the price point, power level and range, this Jaguar is shaping up to be a potential Porsche Taycan competitor. The single teaser image at the top of this post suggests the same, as the photo shows a car with a fast-sloping roofline and wide, bulging fenders. ItÂ’s an exciting teaser, as it pretty much confirms that Jaguar will be coming in hot with a spicy-looking electric four-door. The last detail about this Jag confirmed today is its production site, as Jaguar says it will build the vehicle at its Solihull plant in the West Midlands, England. As for the Range Rover news, weÂ’ve known an electric Range Rover was on its way, now we know that the vehicle will launch in 2025. JLR says it will begin accepting orders for the electric Range Rover later this year, but didnÂ’t set an official date. The electric Range Rover will be built at JLRÂ’s Halewood plant in Merseyside, England. Those are all the details we know about today, but expect more teasers and information leading up to the reveal of these new EVs later in 2023. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Land Rover will put a Covid-nuking air filtration system in future cars

Tue, Mar 16 2021

Jaguar - Land Rover (JLR) is developing an air filtration system that inhibits up to 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria. Designed like a face mask for your car's HVAC system, it's built on Panasonic's Nanoe X technology. Most of the company's models (including the Land Rover Defender) currently come equipped with Panasonic's Nanoe technology and PM2.5 filtration. Nanoe X is 10 times more effective, according to the brand, because it relies on a high voltage to create trillions of hydroxyl (OH) radicals enveloped in nano-sized water molecules. Think of them as Roman guards in front of a fortress: they keep the bad out, and ensure only the good can come in. Viruses and bacteria proteins are denatured when they come into contact with the filtration system, meaning they can't reproduce or grow. The OH radicals also zap common allergens and mold, but they're harmless to humans. JLR stressed it's not relying on computer simulations to decide whether its filtration system works as designed. It asked British laboratory Perfectus Biomed to perform a test that simulates a ventilation system in recirculation mode for a 30-minute cycle in a sealed chamber. The results were encouraging: 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria were nuked. The carmaker pointed out Panasonic's Nanoe X technology has been independently proven to inhibit 99.995% of coronaviruses during a two-hour laboratory test carried out by French immunology lab Texcell. Future models from Jaguar and Land Rover will use this technology, though a representative for both companies declined to tell us when it will reach production, and which nameplate(s) will inaugurate it. Meanwhile, Honda launched its own coronavirus killer across the pond. It's a cabin air filter sold as a genuine replacement part that consists of four layers, including one coated with an active substance of fruit extract that inactivates nearly 100% of the viral aerosols it captures. It's available in Europe through Honda dealers, but it won't be sold in America. Jaguar Land Rover
