1965 Jaguar S-type / Mark Ii Style Saloon on 2040-cars
Delhi, New York, United States
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. |

2017 Jaguar XE First Drive
Wed, Jan 28 2015For the first time in decades, the prize for the best-driving compact luxury sport sedan is very much up for grabs. BMW's 3 Series, the segment's longstanding archetype, has grown a bit soft, distant and pricy. Its Japanese rival from Infiniti, the Q50, lost the plot thanks to its video game steering and dated powerplant. The Audi A4 is due for replacement and the fantastic Mercedes-Benz C-Class skews luxury over sport. The Cadillac ATS? With an excellent chassis hobbled by middling powertrains and the devil's own infotainment system, it isn't selling. Unlikely as it sounds, the Lexus IS is probably the segment's best driver, but you've got to learn to love those turn-to-stone looks. So, where's a segment malcontent to look? Provided he or she is patient enough to wait for this car's spring 2016 arrival, allow us to recommend the 2017 Jaguar XE. Let's be honest. Jaguar really needed to come out with guns blazing. The last time the British brand battled in the compact premium sport sedan segment, its much-maligned X-Type slinked into the underbrush, tail between its legs after just a single generation. While the X was in some ways a better car than history will begrudge it, there's no getting around that Jaguar brought a front-wheel-drive-based knife to a rear-wheel-drive gun fight. This new XE will need to be a very different kitty, and it is. Internally known as X760, Jag's latest rides atop an all-new aluminum-intensive modular architecture wearing a handsome mosaic of aluminum and steel body panels. While the XE's design has struck us as very familiar since it first bowed in September, it's an attractive shape. Its longish, 111.6-inch wheelbase and wheels-at-the-corner stance gives the design a planted look emphasized by its wide rectangular grille and prominent lower air intakes. Jaguar claims a super-slick .26 coefficient of drag, but that's the skinny-tired overseas base model that we'll never see – ours will likely ring up a few hundredths higher. The aluminum body-in-white is itself an impressive piece of work, weighing just over 550 pounds. Vehicle engineering manager Jonathan Darlington says it's 20-percent stiffer torsionally than the XF, and "the lightest in the sector by far." What's more, the chassis incorporates liberal amounts of recycled aluminum (a claimed world first) and increased use of structural adhesives.
Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.
Jaguar I-Pace EV will finally be revealed, available to order March 1
Wed, Jan 31 2018It sure feels like the Jaguar I-Pace electric car concept was revealed longer ago than November 2016. That might be because in addition to running barely camouflaged production models around for months, the company has even announced a one-make race series with the car before we've seen the revealed production model. But the wait is almost over. The company finally announced a reveal date of March 1. This comes just before the Geneva Motor Show, and the debut will be shown on a livestream. Not only that, but Jaguar will be taking orders for the EV the same day. Reveal and order dates weren't the only things Jaguar announced regarding the I-Pace. The company also said the I-Pace will be able to get an 80 percent charge from a DC fast charger in just 45 minutes. This charge time necessitates a 100-kW fast charger, though, so that time may vary in real life based on what chargers are available. This is also greater charging capability than Jaguar claimed when the concept was revealed, which promised an 80 percent charge in two hours on a 50-kW fast charger. Jaguar hasn't revealed many other details about the production car yet. When the concept was shown, Jaguar claimed it made 400 horsepower and had a range of 220 miles. The prototypes we've seen on the road also look extremely similar to the concept, so there shouldn't be much, if any, disappointment in the styling department when it's revealed. Related Video:
