For Sale is my 1972 Jaguar XKE, I bought this car at an auction in 2000.  It's time to sell it. The car had a restoration prior to my buying it, unfortunately the seats were recovered in vinyl, not leather as would have been proper. Otherwise the seats are in very good condition, as is the interior with the exception of some cosmetic flaws to be expected in a 41 year old car and an older restoration. The AC is cooling a little and I have never had the system charged, but I am including 2 cans of R12 with the car. The steering wheel has some black tape on it, but I am including another proper steering wheel with the car in very good condition. The paint has numerous small flaws but you can see from the picture the car still shines and shows well. The body is very straight with one little nickle sized dimple  on the hood that I tried to photograph but gave up what with the silver paint couldn't really capture it. There is an area on the drivers side rear rocker that appears to be a bad repair or repair gone bad that came with the car and hasn't got any worse. All in all the car has a very straight body. The floorboards are rust free as is the trunk bottom. The underside of the car shows some surface rust on some of the components. As you can see from the pictures the steering rack boots need to be replaced.

    Now for the fun stuff.  All the glass is very good as is the rubber around it. This is a beautiful color for this car, it has factory AC, and the desirable 4 speed. I have not really driven this car much but the motor and transmission are strong. The car runs out very well. I had a problem with the plugs fouling, cleaned them and the motor runs out very strong right now. I bought 12 new NGK plugs which I have not put in and they will go with the car unless I have any more fouling problems.  The carbs probably need some attention. As do the brakes only because I have never serviced them and the brake light is on. They work fine and if all the brake fluid were renewed I think the brake light would go out. The cooling system does not leak but I am sure could use flushing. This is why I am selling the car, I have not been able to keep up with the maintenance and love the car needs. Last time I showed the car at a local British Car Club it placed 3rd out of 8 E types, all of which were worth more money than mine.
   So if you want a very nice driver that the average Joe thinks is a very expensive car this would be an excellent car,  or if you want a Concours car but can't afford one, this car would be an excellent starting point. They say if you want to restore a car buy the best one you can find. I want to make sure this car sells so that I only do this once so the reserve on the car will be well below what Haggerty values the car. The only other thing I can think of is the fuel pump was changed by a local shop when I took the car in a year ago with starting issues, and I ended up taking out the fuel pump they put in and put a carter inline fuel pump in myself, but I still have the original double ended pump that is original to the car. Not sure there is any thing wrong with it. Also the dip switch on the headlights has gone bad and needs renewed. I tried turning on the radio the other day and the electric antennae worked but the factory AM FM radio wasn't working. Also the odometer reads 76,000 but the speedometer has not worked since I have owned the car. Also the drivers side door handle button is not wanting to work but I will try to repair before the car is delivered.
   The chrome wire wheels are the original knockoff wheels that came with the car. They polish up very nicely but there is some minor rust damage that is very hard to see when the wheels are polished.

2019 Jaguar XJ50 is a supercharged birthday present

Wed, Apr 25 2018

Jaguar is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its elegant luxury sedan, the XJ, with a stylish and supercharged new model called the XJ50. This nod to eight generations of XJ comes in long-wheelbase format and is powered by either a 340-horsepower supercharged V6, or snarling 470-hp supercharged V8. While the V6 model is available with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, the more powerful V8 is offered only in rear-wheel drive form. Revealed for the first time at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show, the XJ50 is visually separated by the standard XJ sedan by having unique front and rear bumpers, a gloss black grille, special badges on the side vents, along with 20-inch alloy wheels with a gloss black diamond turned finish. Four colors will be available: Rosello Red, Santorini Black, Fuji White, and Loire Blue. How something along the lines of British Racing Green didn't make the cut remains a marketing mystery, however. This content is hosted by a third party.

The XJ50 cabin is fitted with unique touches like an XJ50 logo on the front center armrest, illuminated XJ50-branded treadplates, diamond-quilted seats with the Jaguar leaper logo on the headrests, along with metal pedals and aluminum shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. "This is a car worth celebrating and the XJ50 pays homage to a giant within the Jaguar brand that we believe is one of the world's most stylish sporting saloons," said Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design. While only the most jaded automotive Grinch wouldn't enjoy a birthday celebration -- really, who doesn't like cake with their illuminated treadplates(?) -- there's a sense the XJ50 marks the end of the road for the brand's long-serving luxury sedan. Rumors persist that the XJ will soon migrate to an all-electric platform, to compete directly against cars like the Tesla Model S and upcoming Porsche Mission E. Jaguar did not release an exact price of the 2019 XJ50, though a long-wheelbase XJ with the 340-hp V6 and rear-wheel drive carries a starting price of approximately $84,500.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar design chief Ian Callum rules out station wagons

Wed, Apr 20 2016

If you liked the idea of a Jaguar wagon and were secretly hoping that the British automaker might bring one over, we have some unfortunate news for you. Not only will the company not bring any wagons to the North American market, but according to design chief Ian Callum, it won't be making any at all. "The [wagon] market is massively shrinking. I'm very sad about it but it's a very difficult market to justify," Callum told Automotive News Europe. German automakers Audi, BMW, and Mercedes can make wagons work because their home market is the largest for wagons in the world and any wagons they sell elsewhere are just chocolate icing on the Black Forest cake. For its part, Jaguar has produced two wagon models in the X-Type and the previous XF Sportbrake. That's a shame in Jaguar's case, because the XFR-S Sportbrake was a heck of a ride that left us wondering why anyone would want something taller. Those of like mind, we suppose, will just have to content themselves instead with German wagons like the Audi A6 Allroad, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes E-Class, and Volkswagen Golf SportWagen – and hope that Volvo doesn't get squeezed out of the wagon market as well.

Jaguar may enter Formula E to advance electric portfolio

Mon, Dec 14 2015

The FIA Formula E Championship looks poised to gain another major automaker. According to reports from the UK, Jaguar Land Rover is preparing to announce a new electric vehicle strategy this week. And that is tipped to include participation in the all-electric racing series. According to Sky News, Jaguar's electric racing program would give the British carmaker the opportunity to showcase its prowess in electric propulsion. Quoting an unnamed insider, the UK news service reported that Formula E "offers live testing for electrification technologies in areas such as batteries and drivetrains; that's why it looks valuable to them." The program would likely be launched in conjunction with Williams, the F1 team with which it partnered on development of the aborted C-X75 hybrid supercar project recently unearthed for a starring role in the latest James Bond film Spectre. Williams helped develop the battery system that powers the electric spec racer used in Formula E. The partnership could take over from the Trulli team that is expected to soon drop out of the series. JLR wouldn't be the first automaker to participate in electric racing. Audi supports the Abt team, Renault the e.Dams outfit, and PSA Peugeot Citroen's DS brand the Virgin Racing squad. Mercedes and Volvo have also been reported to be looking carefully at participation, while BMW provides support vehicles for the series. Jaguar participates in vintage racing and Land Rover runs the Bowler off-road racing series. However, the last time the company supported a top-level works racing program was between 2000 and 2004 when Jaguar Racing (the precursor to today's Red Bull team) competed in Formula One. It has since offered the XKR GT2 racer and has been rumored to be considering a return to sports car racing, but the trend towards electrification now appears to be driving the Formula E initiative instead. We're waiting to hear back on requests for comment from Jaguar. But Sky reports that an official announcement will be made on Tuesday, so watch this space. Related Video:
