Pictured here is a 1968 Jaguar XKE Series 1.5 OTS 4.2 Litre.

It is a "survivor" car with 21,281 original miles. It has been kept in heated storage since 1987 with no rust and is a very solid example. Purchased as a 2 owner car in 2011, with the previous owner enjoying it since 1971. This car was manufactured "right of center" of the production run of 2,479 units that were LHD. It's been documented that only 778 Federal designated OTS cars were made for import to the United States.

Here are the builder's tag numbers, and all units/chassis bear these numbers accordingly:

Chassis No. 1E 17492

Engine No. 7E 16836-9

Gearbox No. KE 764

Body No. 4E 9556

Paint British Racing Green

Top black

Interior black leather

Date of Manufacture March 19th, 1968

Work performed within the last year;

New battery and original alternator rebuilt

Entire brake system gone through, flush and bled system

One fuse box replaced due to bad fuse clips; kept the original

Fluids all drained and replaced with specific grades as required

Leather conditioned

Brake reservoir cap/level indicator (1) replaced; kept original

Check valve clearance, all good, no adjustments necessary

All front end inspected, all serviced and in good condition

Fuel tank and system cleaned, both carburetors full rebuild, needles adjusted for standard pump gas

New complete stock exhaust system

Electrical system gone through, all works well

The car has been driven 962.3 miles since work was performed. Whether driving in the city or on the highway it ran without a glitch. No over heating,
all gauges functional and true to their readings. Drives straight and solid, and it brakes straight.

Also the car received a full paint job in 1987 it's original color of BRG, seemingly due to the right front being "tapped". Under close exam it was minor. The "new" paint shows a patina of 27 years. It was never wet sanded until recently, with 2500 grit, and it's quite nice. Given the fact all else is original it works well with the aesthetics of this car.

What the car needs;

#1) Tires, we did not change them, and they hold air well enough to drive/store it, but are suffering from dry rot. Purchaser can decide on black, white or red line tires to their liking.

#2) An original jack, the companion wrench, and tool kit.

#3) The "motif" bar in the bonnet's center. This car was fitted, as a few were, with a small opening bonnet due to '68 being a "transition" year, hence this year has the lowest yearly production for E-types throughout the 3 series.

Other notes to point out;

The top fits well.

All glass is very good, interior is in great shape, and the rubber and seals are good original condition.

Factory seat belts are in working order. Door locks, hinges, window regulators all function as new.

This particular car can be driven as shown here, or exhibited with pride in "survivor class" at any classic car show. I enjoyed driving it, top down and all, but other projects prevail.

Please contact me w/any questions, or I can send any additional specific photographs upon request. You can bid with confidence on this rare Jaguar roadster, and good luck in bidding.

Jaguar F-Pace SVR with 550 horsepower headlines 2019 F-Pace refresh

Thu, May 3 2018

Jaguar has introduced the lightly refreshed F-Pace for 2019. The regular models are updated with better infotainment and interior touches, but the big deal is the SVR version with its 5.0-liter V8 engine. We already saw the F-Pace SVR at the New York Auto Show, and it will now be available as a 2019 model. The supercharged V8 engine with a variable valve active exhaust system produces a whopping 550 horsepower and a touch over 501 lb-ft, hitting 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. The SVR's top speed is 176 mph, and it's priced from $79,990. The entire gasoline-powered F-Pace lineup gets exhaust particulate filters, even the SVR. Jaguar says the ultrafine particle trapping system is regenerated every time the driver lifts his foot off the throttle. Jaguar does say the setup is market-specific. There are also larger, 21.66-gallon fuel tanks for the 250- and 300-horsepower Ingenium I4 cars, the 380-hp V6 version and the SVR, to improve range. There's now adaptive cruise with steering assist, which operates between 0 and 112 mph, and emergency braking and lane-keeping assists are standard as well as a driver condition monitoring system and a rear camera. Safety tech has also been packaged into optional safety packs, called Park Pack, Drive Pack and Driver Assist Pack; the third of these combines the earlier two and adds adaptive cruise with steering assist. The 10-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard, and Jaguar now offers new, 14-way adjustable "slimline" sports seats as an option. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar F-Pace runs support at Tour de France

Wed, Jul 1 2015

Jaguar is going back to the Tour de France. The British automaker will once again support Team Sky in its latest campaign for cycling's biggest prize by loaning out an F-Pace prototype that will run during the brutal first stage of this year's event. This marks our first genuine look at the production sheetmetal, which is lightly obscured by the Team Sky/Jaguar camouflage. Sporting a black theme, it features blue accents, carbon fiber, rubber, and chain elements reminiscent of a racing bike. Outside of that, it looks a lot like C-X17 Concept that previewed the F-Pace. Like the F-Type that was used by Team Sky in last year's race, the F-Pace will carry the team's director and a driver. They'll be joined this year by a mechanic and the team's physician, while the large trunk will house sports drinks, clothing for the riders, and spare parts for their bikes. "We are delighted to be supporting Team Sky again at such a prestigious sporting event and are excited at the prospect of the F-Pace being seen in action in public for the first time," Kevin Stride, the CUV's line director, said in the attached statement. "The Jaguar F-Pace is a striking balance of performance, style, and practicality. And what better way to showcase the vehicle's attributes than on this crucial first leg of the Tour de France."
