1969 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES TWO, 2+2 COUPE. AUTOMATIC GEARBOX. 4.2 LITERS. POWER STEERING. AIR CONDITIONING. CHROME WIRE WHEELS. ORIGINAL LIGHT BLUE PAINT WITH NAVY BLUE TRIM.
KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS presents for sale, here on Ebay, an exceptional Jaguar E-type for restoration. You are currently viewing a 40,000-mile, highly original, two-owner, perfectly rustfree and accident-free CA car. It is in need of a new enthusiastic owner to return it to it's former glory. This car is a perfect entry-level Jaguar E-type that can be secured for very sensible money in this escalating European classic car market. Because of the car's excellent overall condition and it's associated parts, I believe that labor rather than expense would be needed to restore this car to a very high standard. This car was driven a believed minimal amount of mileage when a valve keeper let go and put a stop to the car's use. The car lived in the San Francisco Bay area at that time. The highly original and untouched car sat in storage for many years and was then purchased by a restorer who set about to perform a Concours level restoration. The car was very carefully and meticulously partially disassembled, with almost all components and parts being bagged, tagged, and boxed. Because of personal reasons, the restoration was never finished. This car is 100% COMPLETE in every sense of the word. The car was only moved once during it's disassembled state, and all parts and components were contained in about 12 large boxes. I WAS STUNNED at the condition of all the parts in general. So well-preserved. The car's interior was in exceptional condition, even ready to just clean and re-use, with a replacement of just a few items like the headliner and carpets. Some interior and exterior chrome parts are in factory new condition, some other pieces would clean up very nicely. The wheels and tires could even clean up well. The 5th wheel is the factory original Dunlop spare. All the glass parts are excellent. Every original item on the car was saved and may even clean up perfectly nice to be used again. This is definitely a car that has lived indoors all of it's life... The body, doors, bonnet, are all still in the original light blue factory paintwork. Some minimal body work has been performed, but the car is not far from being repainted! There is a small area around the RH headlight area with some small repairable damage. The rest of the body is near-perfect. The car is completely rustfree. The mechanical components look very good. The original assembled low-mileage short block looks excellent with no marks on the pistons and hardly a step on the cylinder bores. The IRS unit is totally complete and together with excellent rear splined hubs. It may just need a service and a good detail. The cylinder head has been disassembled and ready for a valve job. The front suspension, brakes, radiator, carbs and intake, transmission, steering rack, A/C components, etc. all look very nice and low-mileage. The car would need an exhaust system. This car also includes a brand new, correct, Navy Blue Wilton Wool carpet kit and a new, quality, full rubber sealing kit that appears to be for the entire car. Most likely a $1000 value combined... This Jaguar presents a very economical opportunity to own one of Britain's most iconic sportscars that has spent it's entire life here in sunny California. Because of it's excellent overall condition for a restoration car, recommissioning of it's components and re-assembly should be an easy, straightforward process. This car can be viewed by appointment in Southern California and is sold with a clear CA title. $12,500. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. work, 909-920-9221. cell, 909-241-1051. |

Junkyard Gem: 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible
Tue, Nov 8 2022Jaguar sold the mighty XJS grand tourer from the 1976 through 1996 model years, and I've documented quite a few of them in their final parking spaces. For 1997, the replacement for that legendary car finally arrived, in the form of the oft-delayed XK8. Here's one of those first-year cars, found in a self-service yard in Denver, Colorado recently. Development of this car's platform and general shape goes back to 1980, when endless prototypes were built and forgotten. Once Ford took over Jaguar in 1990, the abaondoned XJ41 project was revived and became the 1994 Aston Martin DB7. Fast-forward three years and you get a Jaguar-badged cousin of that car. The 1997 XK8 could be purchased in coupe or convertible form. The top on this car has seen better days. How much, you ask? A cool $69,900, which would be around $130,165 in 2022 dollars. If you wanted the Aston Martin DB7 Volante convertible that year, the price tag was $135,000 ($251,395 now). As we've seen in this series, sophisticated European machinery requires fastidious maintenance on the dot, or you get hit with repair bills larger than the car's value once it hits age 10 or so. Once a car like this reaches its fourth or fifth owner, the Clock of Doom starts ticking very loudly if it was ever neglected prior to that. It appears that preparation for body and paint work took place but was never completed. The engine is a 4.0-liter Jaguar DOHC V8 rated at 290 horsepower, same as the one in the XJ8. In 1998, a 370-horse supercharged version known as the XKR became available. The Lincoln LS and 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird got a de-bored 3.9-liter version of this engine. The transmission in 1997 was a mandatory five-speed ZF automatic, regardless of which side of the Atlantic you lived on. In fact, every street XK8 ever built had an automatic when it left the assembly line (though I'm sure some three-pedal swaps have been performed by now). These cars aren't exactly common in your local Ewe Pullet, but they are out there. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. As some 24 Hours of Lemons racers in Texas discovered, you can buy a DB7 shell cheap at auction and then bolt in everything you need to make it a runner by stripping an even cheaper XK8 donor car.

Say goodbye to Jaguar's vestigial oval grille
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Jaguar has been on a campaign to replace any and all retro cues with modern ones. Just look at the current XJ and the one it replaced, or the XF and the S-Type that came before it and you'll know what we mean. The one remnant is the XK and its oval grille, in and of itself a throwback to Jags of old (which started to look more like a certain Star Wars alien in above-pictured XKR-S form). But don't expect it to hang around.
Newer Jaguars have been ditching the oval aperture for a more squared-off one, and the next XK will have to fall in line. But don't expect that to be the only change in store for the next-generation Jaguar coupe and convertible.
With the new F-Type now holding the more enthusiast-oriented ground, the next XK is expected to grow bigger, softer and more luxurious. That will likely mean a more commodious back seat as well, though that shouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of space in the back of the current model...
2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S [w/video]
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Withhold judgment on the world's greatest exhaust note until after you've heard the Jaguar F-Type V8 S (scroll down now for a sneak peek). Its cackle, boom and pop under deceleration will have you rifling through its glovebox looking for a tool to remove the stereo as an in-dash audio system.
Combining modern technology with age-old exhaust plumbing, Jaguar's British engineers have developed a way to propel spent combustion gases into the atmosphere in a manner that elevates the complete driving experience. At idle, it purrs. Under acceleration, it roars. During cruise, it soothes. Perhaps most compellingly, during deceleration, it titillates.
Thankfully, the newest two-place convertible from Jaguar isn't only defined by its mesmerizing soundtrack - the F-Type would be an impressive sports car even if the world went silent.
