Very nice special order Jaguar E type, black on black, with full service history and mileage documentation from when it was new! The car was ordered new in Palm Springs, California. The first owner purchased the car on 5/27/1970 for $5,868.50. He kept a log book of anything done or bought for the car with date, cost and mileage. He keep the car till 10/24/1988 when he traded it in for a Ferrari. The second owner, also from Palm Springs, kept the car there till 2008. He also keep the log book, noting anything no matter how small that was done to the car. The third and last owner, who looked for a car like this for years, searched the country to find a rust free E type. He spared no expense on the car. The last owner did the following repairs done at the Jaguar dealership: All new rotors; rebuilt calipers; installed pads; replaced both master cylinders; changed fluids; replaced all fuel hoses; replaced all six shocks; replaced belts; replaced distributor, wires and plugs; replaced clutch slave cylinder; mounted and balanced 4 tires; replaced tie rod and ball joints; replaced all hoses; replaced coolant; replaced u joints; repacked wheel bearings and rear hub assemblies; drained and refilled transmission and rear end fluid; installed stainless exhaust system; rebuilt carburetors and much more. I have receipts totaling more than $14,000 in parts and labor. I believe that the third owner disconnected the odometer cable. I believe the mileage is still very close to stated miles. The work performed on the car was done in '09 and '10 with new tires which still have knobbies. The car was used very little after that time. I try to disclose what I know. The car has not been restored. It has had some touch ups over the years, which is also noted in the log book. The car comes with the factory hard top with a new rear window (not installed), all books, foot rest, homemade E type luggage, tonneau cover, never used spare, jack, tool roll and the original wire wheels. This all comes with the car. The car is number matching and matches the heritage report. The only defects on the car is the dash pad has a previous repair and a crack and the driver seat has a 2" split on the seam. Hard top will need some seals replaced and the rubber around the bumpers has some cracking. The car was just appraised and it was rated as a Number Two condition.

Engine number 7R9525-9 ; Chassie/VIN number 1R11866 ; Body number 4R6412 ; Gear Box number KE10784

The car is located outside Buffalo, New York. The car will come with a transferable New York State registration from the previous owner as New York does not issue titles on pre 1973 vehicles. Pick up of the extra wheels and the rear window is the buyers responsibility. Car is sold in "as is" condition. You are welcome to call 716-432-3360.

1964 Jaguar XKE slinks into Jay Leno's Garage

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The idea of altering a classic Jaguar E-Type might seem preposterous to some, but Jasen Len of XKs Unlimited managed to create a modified 1964 E-Type that stays true to the Jag's timeless design. Just a few months after Jay Leno featured his own original E-Type on Jay Leno's Garage, Len stopped by to show off his custom Jaguar creation.
Starting out with a rust-ravaged body, Len made the car just the way he wanted it to be. He started off with some minor changes to the car's exterior like the Le Mans-inspired racing lights and handmade front bumpers, handmade sills with integrated exhaust and flared rear fenders. Inside, he dropped the floor to make more interior space and reworked the E-Type's styling for more of a modern look. We have to say, if you're going to mess with a Series 1 E-Type, this is the way to do it.
Sadly, even though Len and Leno spend plenty of time talking about the car's 300-horsepower 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder, we never get to hear the car fire up. Check out the JLG video, which is posted below, and as a bonus, enjoy the gallery from Jaguar showing a 1961 E-Type.

Seven-figure cars highlight day one of RM's Monterey auction

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

RM Auctions is one of several houses holding auctions during the Monterey weekend, and Friday night's festivities got quite pricey. Seven-figure vehicles were not at all uncommon during the first day of the two-day event, with the 1953 Ferrari 375 MM Spider, seen above, crossing the block for $9,075,000.
Other big earners included a pair of rare Ferraris, a 1950 166 MM Barchetta and a 1955 750 Monza Spider, which took $3,080,000 and $4,070,000, respectively. Outside of the red Italians, a 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special captured $7,480,000 while a stunning, color-appropriate 1955 Jaguar D-Type took $3,850,000. We've got images of these vehicles, and a few other stunning examples of last night's auction, in the gallery above.
Thought it seems impossible, tonight's auction is expected to see even more high-dollar action. The winner of the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours, a 1928 Mercedes-Benz 680S Torpedo Roadster is expected to command over $10 million. Also crossing the block will be a car we reported on a few weeks back - a supremely rare 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder. One of only 10 in the world, it's expected to take anywhere from $14 to $17 million when it hits the stage tonight.

More than 30 vintage Jaguars found, forgotten for decades in a greenhouse

Thu, Dec 5 2019

A long, long time ago, some unnamed person realized that storing motorized precious metals in a barn would eventually be passe. This visionary hoarder decided, instead, to collect an assemblage of more than 30 vintage Jaguars in a greenhouse in Beaulieu, England. To passers-by, it would look like someone was tending a crop of blue tarps. To us, thanks to Beaulieu Garage, it looks not like a barn find but rather the first "greenhouse find." The classic car restoration shop wrote in a Facebook post, "we were asked to help clear a private collection of cars," and when Beaulieu Garage saw the array, "An offer was made," and now it has a whole lot of rusted metal looking for good homes. It took a week to get everything out, and the shop said the "parts alone have taken up 12 storage racks, with engines and gearboxes included." While a barn isn't the best place to park a car for decades, a greenhouse is arguably worse. The glass house is a combination of maximum UV levels and rain forest humidity, the ambient moisture free to rust and rot everything the sun can't kill. And early Jaguars aren't known for robust defenses against the elements. Most of the cars are E-Types, many of those the early and more elegant 1960s models. Among the trove are some cars that "you could probably get running in a couple of days," but the photos show there are plenty of long-term projects that rate effort comparable to The Pacific Campaign. Incredibly, Beaulieu Garage is confident that "All will see the road again," assuming the worst problem children can find empathetic buyers. The first salable car has been listed, a left-hand drive, 1960 XK150 3.8-Liter Drophead Coupe with matching numbers that was originally sent to New York. This is said to be the last XK150 the factory painted a cream color, and the fourth-last XK150 ever built. Scraps of the red leather interior remain, the sand colored top looks to be in the same condition. After eight years in the greenhouse, Beaulieu Garage charmingly describes the XK's previous digs as "Dry Stored in the UK." The convertible comes with a heritage certificate, and will cost GBP40,000 ($52,654 U.S.) to trailer home. A Facebook post from today says the shop will get parts lists and pricing up shortly, so stay tuned if you have a lot of time and money you need to find occupations for.
