 This 1966 Jaguar XKE is a barn find in rural Georgia.  It is the 294th 2+2 covered headlight car out of more than 2,600 Series 1 cars made.  It is a project car, but is in good shape for its age and ready for restoration.  It comes with 4.2-litre engine with 3 carbs, automatic transmission and dealer installed A/C.  The odometer reads 57,993 miles.  It was last registered in Puerto Rico in 1984, and was shipped to Georgia not long after. Since then it has been sitting (30 years) in a barn with a concrete floor.

This classic is white with a black interior.  At one time in its history, it had been repainted maroon, then the last owner repainted it in white lacquer, which has crackled.  The paint has been partially stripped, then left in storage while the owner moved on to other projects.

The car is missing the exhaust system, and it has some rust, mainly in the driver's side rocker, door bottom and floor (all pictured).  There's also a little rust at the bottom of the hatch and a few other spots.  I can see Bondo work in several places.  The turn signal lenses are cracked and one is missing.  With that said, I've seen much worse.

The spare tire well is in great shape, however, and the tire may be the original Dunlop.  The motor turned over 3 months ago. The interior is in very good shape with some normal wear.  There are no cracks or tears in the door panels, dash or console.  The seats are pretty nice.  The headliner and most of the carpet has been removed to check floor condition (all 4 shown).  All the glass is present.

The rest of the car appears to be complete, except for the front bumper, which the previous owner is trying to locate. 

The last picture shows the car as found.

Please let me know if you would like to see more pictures or if you have any other questions. Call me at 912-257-5333.

This car will be sold with a Bill of Sale ONLY, as Georgia does not title cars this old.  I also have the 1984 Puerto Rico registration.  

High bidder to pay $1,000 non-refundable through PayPal upon completion of auction.  Balance to be paid within 7 business days.  The car will not be released until all funds have been cleared.  

Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!

Ian Callum wanted to call Jaguar's crossover X-Type [w/poll]

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Jaguar raised some eyebrows when it announced that it would call its upcoming crossover F-Pace. But the British automaker didn't just pick the name out of a hat. Speaking with Auto Express, Jaguar's design director Ian Callum said the company entertained several possible nameplates for its first crossover, and that he personally advocated for resurrecting the name X-Type. The nameplate was, of course, previously used on the marque's entry-level sedan – the predecessor to the upcoming XE that was based on the front-drive platform of the Ford Mondeo and which was also offered with all-wheel drive. The connection with that much-maligned model is reportedly ultimately what dissuaded the company's marketing gurus from using the nameplate again, even if it might have been more suitable. Another nameplate Coventry reportedly considered was XQ, but the latter letter's use by rival Audi for its crossovers and by former sister company Aston Martin for its personalization range ruled the prospect out for the Leaping Cat marque. Auto Express notes a connection between the name F-Pace and Jaguar's 1960s ad campaign hailing its products as offering a combination of "Grace, Space and Pace." For his part, Callum didn't dismiss the possibility the slogan could could lead to additional models wearing similar nameplates like F-Grace or F-Space.
