1971 Jaguar XKE (E-Type) Series II Roadster with parchment interior and regency red paintwork. Original engine, body, and 4-speed gear box, documented by Jaguar Heritage Certificate, are included with sale. Everything works. This car needs nothing. If you are looking for a project car, look elsewhere. Buy this car and drive it with confidence across town, or even across the country. This car has never seen snow. In fact, I do not even drive it on cloudy days. All the rest of the time, it is secured in my garage. When I was 16 years old in high school in Connecticut, a classmate friend told me that his father’s job was relocated to California. Initially the friend refused to relocate, since all of his friends and life memories were local. As a bribe, the dad bought my friend a new Jaguar XKE convertible to drive across country. Two things happened: (1) I never saw my friend again and was jealous about the car he just received, and (2) I knew that someday I would get a Jaguar XKE convertible just like my friend received. I purchased this car 3-years ago satisfying my 50-year desire to own a Jaguar XKE convertible. After a considerable search, I finally found this car with low mileage (18,300 at time of purchase) and an excellent unmolested body condition. Prior, the car was in storage for 30 years. I bought this car from the Canadian Restorer who replaced all the wear and fabric items (belts, hoses, battery, tires (Michelin), seats, visors, etc.). I have all the receipts which will be provided with the sale. This XKE now has 20,000 original miles. I drive it weekly, so final mileage might be slightly higher. I will provide the last two titles/registrations which document the mileage by motor vehicle departments. All steering and suspension items were replaced. Only two metal items were replaced following storage: (1) the bottom of the heater box which was replaced with a reproduction repair panel, and (2) the battery tray which was replaced with a stainless unit. The phenomenal body condition of this car is what you want when buying one of these beautiful cars. The glass on the car is all in excellent shape. The doors, trunk and bonnet line up nicely. They open and close with ease. This car has original chrome, glass, and drive chain. There is no body filler anywhere. Car is as straight as an arrow (see photos). The car has like new Michelin 185X15 tires with the new spare tire mounted on an identical Dayton wire wheel. This car was undercoated by Ziebart the day it arrived off the boat from the UK. There is no rust anywhere - PERIOD. The paint is a re-spray from about 10 years ago. The paint does have some minor blemishes, so please take time to look at the pictures carefully. I estimate it is an 8/10 concours, which is outstanding for its age. This car has original Freon-12 factory air conditioning. An extra container of Freon-12 and appropriate hoses/gauges are included in sale. There are 78 more pictures available on photo bucket.

Here is a summary of the restoration work to bring the car back to life, following storage. Interior: · Installed complete new interior and dash board cover · Installed new sun visor chrome · Replaced all instruments and switches · Installed all new weather stripping and window rubber and felt Fuel System: · Refurbished and cleaned the fuel tank, fuel pump, carburetors, fuel sump, fuel filter, and hoses Cooling System: · Installed new radiator (rebuilt unit - original not available), new radiator fan, new thermostat switch Engine Compartment: · Installed all new engine hoses, clamps, and belts. · Installed new engine weather stripping · Installed new Lucas battery Brakes: · Installed new brakes including calipers, discs, brake cylinder and servo, clutch master Suspension: · Installed all new suspension, bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and steering rack. · Installed 5 new Michelin tires Engine Electrical: · Installed new plugs, capacitor, rotor, several relays Radio: · Installed proper fitting radio with side speakers, iPOD connector, speaker jack, and SD card slot (I will include an SD chip with all 1970s and 1980s music). · Installed new power antenna Trunk: · Installed new truck coverings Body: · Installed new side emblems Convertible Top: · This was new when the Canadian restorer bought the car three years ago (see photos) Documentation: · Sale includes all the receipts for the above work as well as users’ manual and service manual, lubrication chart, and factory wiring booklet · Included are prior titles and registrations Status: · This a totally restored car the drives perfectly - everything works · Engine and transmission operate like factory new · Cylinder compression is within 5 lbs of each other (all measure 160-165 psi) Numbers: The numbers on this 1971 Jaguar E-type Series II 4.2 Roadster, documented on its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, are as follows: · Chassis Number: P2R14242 (front frame rail) · Engine Number: 7R13502-9 (on block and engine head and flywheel) · Body number: 4R9027 (on rear under license plate) · Gearbox number: KE15902 (on top of gearbox) The under carriage is untouched and in perfect condition other the normal light grime of a car with 20,000 miles on it. There is zero, zero, zero corrosion anywhere. What you are buying is a totally restored car that drives perfectly and needs nothing. The engine and fully synchronized gear box could not operate better. I want to make the point that many XKE series II cars can be purchased for under $50,000 but I can assure you that you will be spending much more in getting them into the condition of this car. The NAPA Guide prices this car as follows: http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1971/Jaguar/XKE-II/2-Door-Roadster/Values
Since this is a private sale, your final price should be significantly lower that the dealer price. You will find very few cars in the incredible original body condition of this car. This car was produced within months of the end of the series II production (see photo of build plate). If you want your dream car and don't want to spend the time and money fixing her up then this is the one for you. If you love restoring these cars then it is not the car for you as you will have nothing to work on. I understand that it is difficult buying a car sight unseen (other than photos) so I hope that I have described her with credibility as to what to expect. You are encouraged to inspect in person at any time, or hire an inspection service if time and distance dictate. This is part of my private car collection. I want this car to go to someone that will love it as I have. This amazing car is sold as is but please take time to read my 100% feedback and bid with confidence.

90th Anniversary Edition signals end of Jaguar F-Pace in Europe
Fri, May 17 2024Jaguar is gradually paring down its global range of models as it prepares to start from scratch in a bid to move upmarket. After the XE and the F-Type, it's the F-Pace's turn to sign off in many countries. Launched in 2016, the company's first SUV — and one of its all-time best-selling models — will retire from the European market later in 2024 with a limited-edition model called 90th Anniversary Edition. No, the F-Pace isn't turning 90; the name is a reference to nine decades of Jaguar's internal-combustion engines. Based on the R-Dynamic version, the commemorative SUV gets an edition-specific exterior emblem on the hatch and not much else. It features the same blacked-out trim as the R-Dynamic, and Jaguar notes that buyers have several options to choose from including a panoramic roof and tinted windows. Inside, you'll find sport seats for the front passengers, contrast stitching, and aluminum trim. The S, SE and HSE trim levels can be ordered with the 90th Anniversary package, and the SUV is on sale now in several global markets. We won't get it in the United States, however. "We have not announced end of production or the final model year [for the F-Pace on the American market]. [Production of] the F-Pace will continue in our Solihull plant for the foreseeable future," a spokesperson for the British company told Autoblog via email. Now what? We'll need to be patient to find out what's next. Jaguar has announced plans to shift up a notch or two in the industry's pecking order to take on Bentley, among other brands; as it stands, it's positioned on about the same level as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. This bold move will be accompanied by a shift toward an electric-only range of models. Earlier rumors have detailed three models: a sporty sedan aimed at the Porsche Taycan, a more luxury-focused sedan about as long as the now-retired Bentley Mulsanne, and a big SUV aimed at the Bentayga. If everything goes according to plan, the first of these three models will land in 2025 on a new, purpose-designed architecture. Until then, with the F-Pace nearly out of the picture the global Jaguar range will consist of the electric I-Pace, the E-Pace crossover and the XF sedan.

Jaguar F-Type Checkered Flag edition marks 70 years of sports cars
Mon, Oct 29 2018Jaguar's first sports car, the XK 120, debuted in 1948, right in the midst of Britain's postwar recovery efforts. Since then, the company has had decades of success building everything from lightweight roadsters to record-setting supercars. Currently, the automaker's performance lineup is led by the Jaguar F-Type coupe and roadster. To celebrate 70 years of building performance cars, Jaguar is releasing a new special edition, the F-Type Checkered Flag. Most of the upgrades are visual and are available on both coupe and convertible models. In addition to badges and logos on the rear bumper, headrests, kick plates and steering wheel, the cars will be fitted with brushed aluminum trim and black leather. The steering wheel will have a red center marker at its top. There are additional red and white accents throughout the rest of the car. The F-Type Checkered Flag will be available in three colors: Caldera Red, Fuji White or Carpathian Grey, all with a contrasting black roof. Jaguar F-Type Checkered Flag View 18 Photos Somewhat surprisingly, the Checkered Flag upgrades will only be applied to four- and six-cylinder models paired with the eight-speed automatic. Turbocharged four-cylinder cars make 296 horsepower, while the supercharged V6 models make either 340 or 380 horsepower. The 380 horsepower model can be equipped with all-wheel drive. The F-Type R Dynamic package (not the same as the V8-powered F-Type R) packs revised dampers for a smoother ride. Other general changes for the 2020 model year include revised dampers on the F-Type R coupe and convertible. The F-Type R gets the SVR's rear upper ball joint, rear knuckle and rear control arm. A rear camera and parking sensors are standard across the board. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Seven-figure cars highlight day one of RM's Monterey auction
Sat, 17 Aug 2013RM 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.
