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.

Land Rover will downsize with a pair of hybridized turbodiesel sixes
Thu, Mar 26 2020Europe's automotive industry has ground to a halt, but the strict emissions regulations that went into effect in early 2020 are still looming on the horizon. Land Rover is preparing to launch a pair of hybridized turbodiesel six-cylinder engines in a bid to comply with the regulations and avoid paying huge fines, according to a recent report. British magazine Autocar learned Land Rover has applied the mild hybrid technology already offered on the Evoque and the Discovery Sport, its two smallest models, to a 3.0-liter straight-six to obtain 300 horsepower. The company will also release a more powerful version of the six rated at about 350 horses. The former will be available on HSE, HSE Dynamic and Autobiography Dynamic variants of the Range Rover Sport, while the latter will be added to upmarket models like the HST. The full-size Range Rover (pictured) will get them, too. The sixes represent a two-pronged approach to replacing the 4.4-liter turbodiesel V8 available in Europe, among other markets. It delivers 335 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque, and it sends the Range Rover from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds while giving it a 7,700-pound towing capacity. These figures are hard to argue against, but it's an older engine that's increasing the company's fleet-wide average emissions output, so it has to go. The mild hybrid system won't power either Range Rover on electricity alone, but it will make them cleaner and more efficient; losing a pair of cylinders will help in both areas, too. Although Land Rover hasn't confirmed plans to ax the V8 or launch a hybridized six, suppliers have started publishing information about the powertrain, so its launch is believed to be around the corner. Time will tell whether it will appear on the current-generation models or their replacements, which are undergoing shakedown testing globally and due out in the coming months. Sister company Jaguar will use the mild hybrid technology, too. The six-cylinder will find its way into the XF and the F-Pace, which are both expected to receive comprehensive updates before the end of 2020. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2019 Jaguar XF Sportbrake 30t Prestige First Drive Review | Puts SUV appeal on ice
Mon, Feb 4 2019LA PLAGNE, France — British athletes have a reputation as plucky amateurs, although impressive Olympic performances of late have chipped away at it. Alpine sports remain one area where the more traditional "have a go" hero attitude prevails. Realistically, the only way a British skier is going to break records is with a little help from a fast-moving Jaguar. Thus, British ski stalwart Graham Bell set a speed record of 117 mph, towed behind a XF Sportbrake in an effort to demonstrate the effectiveness of its "Adaptive Surface Response" AWD drivetrain on all surfaces, including ice and snow. To what end? In short, a welcome reminder that an AWD Jaguar station wagon is a classy way to offer snowbelt drivers a practical, all-weather performance car with a twist: It isn't an SUV. The drive up to the ski resort of La Plagne is a chance for the XF Sportbrake to expose the myth you need a high-riding vehicle for life in the mountains. On the freeway from the airport, the Sportbrake amply demonstrates that it is a lovely thing to be in. Sleek, low-slung and effortlessly sexy in that traditional Jaguar fashion, the XF arguably looks better as a wagon than it does a sedan. For 2019, the Sportbrake range has expanded, with the 296 horsepower 30t Ingenium gasoline motor joining the existing 380 horsepower V6 S and providing the option to downsize without sacrificing too much performance. It's a tad gruff, but still packs 295 pound feet of torque to the V6's 332 pound feet while 0-60 in 5.7 seconds is only four-tenths slower. It's perhaps not decisive, but the official highway mileage improves from 25 mpg to 28 mpg. Its starting price of $64,575 saves a fair chunk of cash compared to a $71,215 V6 S, but the Sportbrake is still $10,000 more than an F-Pace with the same engine and equivalent Prestige spec. The 2019 updates also include a standard 10-inch touchscreen-controlled InControl Touch Pro system in the center console and, on our test car, the $945 Technology Package with the configurable 12.3-inch TFT instrument binnacle. For the Sportbrake, the 30t model is available exclusively in Prestige trim, meaning Navigation Pro, associated Pro Services and 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot are standard; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available via the $300 Smartphone Pack.
The Jaguar XKSS, famed ride of King of Cool, is new again
Thu, Nov 17 2016You might remember earlier this year, when we told you Jaguar had confirmed that it would follow up the limited-run of continuation E-Types – completely new, built from scratch classics – with a new run of the impossibly cool XKSS. Those folks in Coventry weren't pulling our leg, because we're here in LA and the brand new XKSS is here, too. Actually, they're 60 years late. If you remember the story we told you when Jaguar said it'd be building these things, there were originally to be 25 cars in total. 16 were built, and the other nine were destroyed in a fire at the Browns Lane factory. Thus, nine original XKSS cars have been missing, and the nine XKSSs that Jaguar will build for a cool GBP1 million each will round out the initial production run. If you're not familiar with the XKSS, here's a little background. Jaguar won Le Mans three times in a row in a factory racer known as the D-Type. After withdrawing factory support in 1956, some privateers continued on with the car, but Jaguar didn't. That left several D-Types sitting about Browns Lane in various degrees of completion. Sir William Lyons had them converted to road spec, which involved adding such niceties as a windshield and passenger door, but otherwise they were not far removed from the Le Man-winning cars they were based on. That meant that they were, to put it mildly, a lot of car for the street. The kind of person an XKSS appealed to was stylish and adventurous, and someone who craved speed. Someone like Steve McQueen, perhaps. His old XKSS is sitting in the Petersen Museum in LA, which not-coincidentally is where Jaguar assembled us to see the wraps pulled off the new one. The "new" XKSSs are generally faithful to the original design, with the bodies hand-formed off bucks that were themselves created off an original XKSS. The body is made out of exotic magnesium, an extremely lightweight metal which is often misunderstood to be extremely flammable. It is, but much more so when it's in little pieces, like shavings; formed into a car body, it's not quite the incendiary device you might think it'd be. Even the processes to form the chassis is the same, such as the bronze welding technique used to bond its tubing. A few concessions to modern safety are fitted, however. There's a fuel cell, partly due to the additional safety it provides but also to better resist the harrowing effects of modern ethanol blend fuel.
