1970 Jaguar E-Type Roadster 4.2 Litre, Series II
One owner since 8/3/1980
Unmodified engine and body
Engine #: 7R 94459
Interior redone mid-90's (sills and door) in Jaguar Connelly leather; seats were redone immediately after purchase
Engine is immaculate
Detailed very close to original, decals, color etc.
Tires are very good tread w/wire chrome wheels
Repainted five years ago. All of the rubber:body,doors,bonnet were replaced new; there is no rust; there are no dents in the body - after thirty-three years, I should know the car.
Always garaged
Chrome was redone - everywhere, during a near full cosmetic restoration when first purchased
Still has great acceleration
Chrome exhaust and tailpipe
Wood steering wheel
Updated CD player w/five speakers
What's wrong: The "spring latch" that holds up the trunk was not there when bought - simply hold it open or prop it up; a windshield washer bracket in the engine bay was missing - it was only cosmetic (double sided tape on the bottom has held it fine; emergency brake needs adjustment again.
No history on engine or trans issues; a dash and ignition switch needed replacement; alternator; parking brake required adjustment;headlight replaced;brakes redone;minor clutch work; and normal routine maintenance and service.
The "book value" NADA, Haggerty,Kelly BB,Classiccars,Autotraderclassics,Collector CarMarket -all websites,place its value in this grade of "excellent condition", from $48,000 to higher. ((We all get that book value, and auction sales , can be different .................. just like stocks, yet very few of us sell either much beneath book value.) XKE's have approximately doubled in value every ten years. In effect you are driving a "bank account" destined to only increase in value over time similar to collectible art, sports memorabilia etc.)
Was voted best of local shows the two times it was entered.
Time to sell; proceeds needed for investment

Not just 'our logo on a sail': Automakers gain technology from America's Cup
Wed, Jun 28 2017HAMILTON, Bermuda - From water taxis that "fly" on hydrofoils to aircraft wings and cutting-edge car steering wheels, the America's Cup has produced technology with potential far beyond its "foiling" catamarans. With their focus on carbon fiber and aerodynamics, the teams that fought for the America's Cup attracted partners including planemaker Airbus and automotive groups BMW and Land Rover, who were keen to learn from them. One area where this is likely to have an impact is in harnessing "foiling" technology, where the America's Cup boats "fly" above the water on foils, cutting water resistance. "Foiling in small electric boats will most likely appear on rivers in major cities. We are just at the beginning of the foiling adventure," Pierre Marie Belleau, head of Airbus Business Development, who managed its partnership with Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA, told Reuters. The space-age catamarans used in the 35th America's Cup, which ended in victory for Emirates Team New Zealand this week, can sail at maximum speeds of 50 knots (57 mph) and have more in common with flying than sailing."CARBON FIBER RELATIONSHIP" For Jaguar Land Rover, which sponsored British sailor Ben Ainslie's attempt to win the cup, the relationship is a strategic one with a focus on technology and innovation. "We don't just get our logo onto a sail," Mark Cameron, JLR's Experiential Marketing Director, said by telephone, adding that the carmaker would be providing more designers to help Land Rover BAR with technology for their next campaign. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly. It's all changing," Land Rover produced a special steering wheel for Ainslie to use in the America's Cup, with in-built gear shift paddles that allowed him to adjust the catamaran's "flight" levels. The relationship is similar between BMW and Oracle Team USA, with the German automaker focused on areas including the electronics in the wheel used by skipper Jimmy Spithill, the development of carbon fiber used to make the boat and its components, and the aerodynamic testing. "We like to think of ourselves more as a partner than a sponsor. We have a very strong carbon fiber relationship," Ian Robertson, who is the BMW management board member responsible for sales and brand, told Reuters between races. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly.
Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
