1967 Jaguar E-Type Roadster.  

 

 

This is a private party sale.  I am not a car dealer, car flipper, or otherwise.  I purchased this car in 2011 from a friend, who at the time did not want to sell it, but had too.  Good for me, right.  He had purchased the car from a local Southern California owner who had kept the car in storage for about 20 years.   There are a few limited paper records indicating its California History. 

 

When I purchased the car, it had not been run in what I assume was 20-plus years.  The engine turned freely.  The car needed brake work.    I recently sent the car to a local English car repair shop and did the following:

 

            Remove, flush and reinstall fuel tank

            Rebuild Front and Rear Brake Calipers with SS Sleeves

            Fluid and Filter Change

            Other misc. gaskets, etc.

           

The car runs good.  It starts right up and does not smoke when cold or warm.  The car is running a little rich, but since I have not done a carb rebuild yet, its expected.  Since its return from the shop I have driven the car about 15-Miles.  The car needs tires as it has been sitting.  I drove it around town a bit but never on the highway.

 

Since taking the photos, I have removed the luggage rack (included with sale.)

 

The car includes a complete trim kit with all rubber, interior kit (Black) etc.  The trim kit came with the car, however, I am unclear as to the age or condition.  It all seems to be in order, but some parts may be missing and I don’t guarantee fit or condition.  Consider it a bonus.

 

I have not located any rust on this car.   There is some rust around the battery tray as to be expected.  I can remove batter and provide additional photos if desired.  The floors are solid and original.  As you can see from the photos, someone has used a floor jack to lift the car, and didn’t place it in the correct spot causing the floors to dome upward.  So, they are solid but they need to be corrected, but shouldn’t be a big expense. There are door dings as seen in the photos.  Most are on the passenger side.

 

The car appears to have two repaints covering the factory silver-grey paint.  There is a blue paint job under the current Burgundy Metallic. 

 

To make it a driver,  at minimum, I would proceed with the following:

 

Carb Rebuild and Sycn

Address Oil Leaks (no large puddles, but there are some drip marks on floor)

Clutch Replacement

 

This vehicle is offered as is where is with no warranty written or implied.  I have described this vehicle to the best of my knowledge and ability.  It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect the car to satisfy themselves as to the condition of the car.  The car is available for inspection with advance notice.

 

Please ask any questions before bidding.  I will provide additional photos and answer all questions to the best of my ability. 

 

Please note, this is not a stress sale.  I am not interested in low-ball offers, or trades.  Please don’t waste either of our time.

 

Payment is to be made in full within 10-days of close of auction.  A $5,000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24-hours of close of auction.  Deposit can be made via Wire Transfer, or Cash, I do not accept paypal.   The car must be removed within 15-days of close of auction. Payment to be Cash or Wire Transfer.  Any check, even if a Bank Check or Cashiers Check is not an acceptable form of payment.

Junkyard Gem: 1995 Jaguar Vanden Plas

Fri, Dec 15 2017

Sold in Europe as the Daimler Six, the 1995 Jaguar Vanden Plas had all the luxury bling that mid-1990s high-rollers needed. This one now resides in the imports section of a self-service wrecking yard near Denver, just like any ordinary Jetta or Lanos. The Vanden Plas name started out in Belgium in 1870, eventually ending up as a British Leyland brand via the Austin Motor Company. 2009 was the last year that luxo-Jags were slugged with the Vanden Plas name. Ford owned Jaguar by this time, of course, but the engine in the XJ6 series remained a traditional Jaguar straight-six. This one is a 4.0-liter rated at 245 horsepower. After 1997, the Jaguar sixes were gone from the XJs, replaced by V8s. The MSRP on this car was $62,200, which amounts to about $102,000 in inflation-adjusted 2017 dollars. It costs real money to keep a car like this running correctly, and once maintenance corners start getting cut... well, the end is near. You should feel fear when you see this. This car is battered and many parts have been yanked by junkyard shoppers, but try to imagine it when it had that new Jag smell. This content is hosted by a third party.

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 Land Rover looks to hire hundreds of laid-off tech workers

Sun, Nov 20 2022

LONDON — Laid off tech industry workers in Britain could find a new home at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), as the 100-year-old luxury carmaker looks to hire hundreds of engineers to help develop electric car technology. The carmaker, which wants to become an "electric-first" business from 2025, on Friday announced a jobs portal for displaced tech workers to fill 800 roles spanning self-driving, electrification, machine learning and data science. The company said it believed workers leaving big tech groups like Amazon were most likely to have the required skills to fill new roles in Britain, Ireland, the United States, India, China and Hungary. The majority of the jobs will be in Britain. The hiring drive comes after thousands of layoffs in recent weeks at U.S. tech firms including Twitter, Meta and Amazon, some of which have offices in London and Dublin, Ireland. "Our digital transformation journey is well underway but being able to recruit highly skilled digital workers is an important next step," Chief Information Officer Anthony Battle said in a statement. JLR last year announced an electrification strategy under which all Jaguar cars would be fully electric by 2024 and an electric option would be offered across its entire portfolio including Land Rover. The company is owned by India's Tata Motors. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
