I've owned this car proudly for 12-13 years after buying it from another long term owner. I believe the mileage to be completely accurate and this car looks to have been always garaged. Very very little rust and nothing that appears to be more than surface deep. Before I owned it, it had at least a partial repaint in the original color and mechanically was well kept. I drove this car reliably on the weekends for a couple years then took out the engine/trans to repair what I thought was a leaking rear main seal. It ended up being the oil pan gaskets which I replaced. The motor went back in with new mounts where needed and started right up. This car always ran rich which I attributed to carburetors sitting too long. Rather then rebuild the originals carbs, I opted to purchase an early set of triple SU carbs with the 3-piece manifold. I rebuilt all 3 and installed. The car started with no smoke but idling very high with seemingly no vacuum advance. Power brakes also stopped working at that time despite having a newer assist unit. I attribute all these symptoms to a severe vacuum leak caused by my amateur carb and manifold install. The air conditioning did not work so I removed everything to do with that under the hood but it is included. The car has great compression and all matching numbers body/frame/engine/trans. The tires are probably 20 years old. There are 2 dimples in the hood where some knucklehead tried to jack the car up by the radiator years ago. The are 2 dents in the rear that look to be caused by the over-riders during a collision. There is an area in back of the passenger side door that is wrinkled slightly from what looks to be poorly applied body filler from decades ago. All gages worked. The dome light did not work.
Included with the car are boxes of NEW parts including but not limited to: Front rotors, complete front end kit with neoprene bushings, an electronic ignition (crane), cooling fan motor (round) with adapter to fit square brackets, copper and hide hammer, spinner removal tool, clutch alignment tool, cam cover gasket set, plug wire shroud, hood latch, triple carb ram tubes and various gaskets.
Also included are the original carbs and manifold, the original fuel pump that was replaced years ago, a 4.2 litre 3-carb manifold, and an entire spare engine (stuck) from an early 70's XJ6 if you want it. Spare used headlights and anything that was removed from car such as original emisions crossover. Lots of paperwork and receipts.
I encourage anyone seriously interested to ask for any specific pictures they would like. I have tried to take pictures of the few bad areas of this car so there are no surprises after the sale. The car will be available for viewings by appointment and I encourage that. This color looks dull in the garage but pops outdoors in natural light. When I was driving this car, it did shimmy under heavy braking which is why I bought the new rotors that are included. The interior is mostly original and very showable if not show quality with some light cleaning.
This car was built in October of 1970, one of the very last true 2-seaters made by Jaguar.

Jaguar planning all-electric E-Pace crossover
Mon, Oct 26 2015Jaguar hasn't quite finished rolling out the new F-Pace (pictured above), and already reports are circulating of another crossover model to join it in the near future. According to Automobile, it'll be called the E-Pace. Here's the kicker: it'll be all-electric. The E-Pace would take advantage of ultra-efficient aerodynamics in order to drop its drag coefficient to just 0.28 g, thereby increasing efficiency. It'd also be the first fully electric model from Jaguar, and would likely be even smaller than the sporty new F-Pace. Through-the-road all-wheel drive would give it poor weather traction, and the electric motors would provide plenty of low-end punch. The model would go up against the Tesla Model X and a potential production version of the Audi E-Tron Quattro concept revealed in Frankfurt. Rather than handle production in-house, the E-Pace could emerge as the mysterious upcoming model which Jaguar Land Rover is planning to have Magna Steyr build on its behalf. The factory in Graz, Austria has long built the G-Class for Mercedes-Benz, continues to assemble the Mini Countryman, and has also handled models like the Aston Martin Rapide and BMW X3. Automobile figures that Jaguar would need to make at least 20,000 units each year to make the model profitable. For comparison's sake, Tesla is projected to move about 33,000 Model S units in 2015. Even if the E-Pace falls short of this target, the project could be worthwhile for JLR purely for publicity purposes and to help cut its average fleet emissions. Related Video:
Jaguar has something special planned for Goodwood
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's been barely a week since JLR announced its new Special Operations division, dedicated to creating limited-run halo cars and custom creations for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Now the British automaker has confirmed the debut of the division's first project.
We don't know what it is, exactly, that Jaguar will be bringing to the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week, but we bet it'll be exciting. If we were the betting kind, we'd put our money on some kind of hot-rod F-Type, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Alongside whatever JLR Special Operations has got cooking, Coventry will also be bringing the new F-Type R Coupe and XFR-S Sportbrake to run up the hill alongside a whole slew of classic and racing Jaguars, including a pair of D-Types, a Group 44 E-Type, a Group A XJS and the reunion of XJR-9 and Andy Wallace that last saw each other on the top step of the podium at Le Mans in 1988.
Jaguar XE bares its claws in 74 images [w/video]
Wed, 01 Oct 2014The XE may prove to be the most vital new model to Jaguar's expansion. But to date we've only really seen it in top-spec, supercharged XE S form. That ends right here and now, however, as Jaguar releases details, photos and even a brief video clip showing the entire range - including those most customers are bound to buy.
Globally speaking - or at least in its home market - Jaguar will offer the XE with five different engines and in four different trim levels. The new Ingenium engine family includes two diesels and two turbocharged gasoline options along with the top-of-the-line supercharged V6 that will serve as the XE's performance flagship model, at least until a new SVR version comes along. Both six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions are on offer, and overseas buyers will also be able to choose between base SE, mid-range Prestige, opulent Portfolio, dynamic R-Sport and range-topping S trim levels.
Of course not every engine is available in each trim level and with either transmission, so instead of 40 combinations we're looking at 22. Once the XE reaches American showrooms, we'll likely be looking at even fewer, as we're not expecting the manual and diesel versions to be offered Stateside. Stay tuned as well for our live impressions from the floor of the Paris Motor Show. But in the meantime you can scope out all the details and UK specifications in the press release below, along with the short video and the gallery of 74 high-resolution images above.
