Barn Find 1963 Jaguar Xke on 2040-cars
Shelby, Iowa, United States
Barn-find 1963 Jaguar XKE This auction is for the same thing as a "barn-find" 1963 Jaguar XKE with what appears to be 79K+ actual miles, but no way to confirm or guarantee the mileage. No, this was not found in this barn, but the same being found in a "conditioned" air garage/shed in its current state for the last 25+ years as told by the previous owner. Hard to believe it has been bare metal and primered in some places as depicted in the pictures for this long. There is some minor rust damage to the passenger side floorboard but included in the auction is an OEM replacement floor board/panel. Driver’s side floorboard is in good condition. There also appears to have been some metal replacement and work in the spare tire area and filler work started on the outside but it will not take a whole lot of work to complete that portion of the bodywork. I also believe this is why the rear tail pipes were removed for ease of accessibility. There is a small spot of rust on the passenger side rear fender/quarter as shown in the pictures but nothing major. Over-all it appears as though the car has not been in any major accidents but does appear to have some filler work on the hood, which when we found the car, the hood was taken apart and primered on the inside and lower front nose apron inside and out. The hood looks straight on the inside. I reassembled the hood and the hood is firmly mounted to the space frame front end for transportation purposes and to give it a more complete look. In looking for a car like this I would prefer to find a car in this condition that way you can tell pretty much what condition the body is in with no hidden surprises. The car looks like it was originally a black car outside. We were also told by the previous owner that the motor was taken apart and new bearings and piston rings installed. Oil appears to be as fresh as the day it was changed and the motor does turn over by hand. We were told that a new radiator was purchased ($450.00) and it does appear to be new. We also were told that the rear end was removed and freshened up with new seals and fluid and that appears to be true. As told by the previous owner, the original breather had been cut and separated from the three SU carbs to have some after market breathers installed. The original breather is included but needs to be welded back together to make it original. . All the original glass, including front windshield, rear door glass and driver’s side rear quarter glass, which do pop out, is included and in excellent condition. Driver’s door had been removed and disassembled and the interior disassembly was started but appears to have all the pieces there except for the interior window crank and door handle. Also missing is the driver outside door handle. For the rest of the interior, the seats are in decent shape. With some cleaning the passenger seat could be reused and the drivers seat has some tears across the seat bottom, but to do this car justice should be reupholstered. Some of the carpet pieces are missing but for what remains is in good condition. The dash pad on top looks great for a car this age. Headliner is nothing to write home about. Over-all except for the missing pieces as mentioned above this seems to be a fairly complete car although I am not a Jaguar expert. The headlight assemblies are there and complete including the outside glass bezels as well as the front turn signals the rear tail light assemblies. One front turn signal and one rear taillight lens is cracked. All chrome pieces for the body are there and in good condition including the chrome hood and front fender beads. The motif is missing however from the front grill. Bumpers are there and complete and the chrome is in good condition, not pitted. A little polishing and they should turn out okay. Wheels are in amazingly good condition, need a good cleaning, but don't appear to be pitted or rusted, including the spare. Both front snouts are there and all sheet metal. For some reason the previous owner had removed the hydraulic brake and clutch pedal assembly and slaves, which are there and included. Included are two Jaguar owner’s manuals that show step by step how the car is supposed to be assembled and maintained and some receipts. I personally own a part-time restoration shop and would judge this car as an excellent restoration candidate without a complete major overhaul. I just do not have the time to dedicate to complete the restoration of this timeless classic automobile due to other projects of my own and my other customers cars. To the best of my knowledge this is the current condition with no guarantees or warranties of the car from myself and what we were told from the previous owner. I have 75+ pictures of all the parts included and pictures of the car available upon request. Unfortunately the previous owner could not find the keys but we do have a clean Nebraska title ready to transfer to a new owner once your clear funds are deposited into our account. Shipping and transportation is at the buyer’s expense. Car is currently located in Shelby, IA. All inclusive parts are in two wooden boxes ready to go and the rest of the parts are neatly and carefully placed inside the car. Glass will be wrapped in shipping blankets. I can assist with loading but the car will have to be trailered or transported. No brake for obvious reasons, but the car does roll easily. If you have any additional questions, I can be contacted by e-mail. MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES AND ASK YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE PLACING YOUR BID! Payment Terms: The successful high bidder will submit a $500.00 a non-refundable deposit 48 hours immediately after close of the auction to secure the vehicle. Buyer agrees to pay remaining balance due plus any applicable fees and taxes within 5 days of the close of the auction. All financial transactions must be completed before delivery of the vehicle. Payment Methods: Cash (in person), certified check, or bank transfers. Fees and Taxes: Out of state buyers are responsible for all state, county, city taxes and fees, as well as title/registration fees in the state that the vehicle will be registered that are applicable. Do not miss the opportunity on this very desirable and in my opinion, great conditioned 1963 Jaguar XKE. Car will go to the highest bidder. Thanks for your time and good luck on the auction! |

Jaguar and Land Rover now offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Tue, Oct 23 2018The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace will come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, and the connectivity feature comes as a roughly $300 option on select and appropriately equipped 2019 Jaguar and Land Rover models, the joint automaker said. It comes via Jaguar Land Rover's Smartphone Pack, which is available on all 2019 and future models, but with conditions. The car in question must have the 10-inch InControl Touch Pro touchscreen or split-touchscreen Touch Pro Duo infotainment systems, plus navigation, InControl Apps and Wi-Fi connectivity. Those are included on some upper trim levels and available as separate options on others. So basically, depending on trim level, you could be looking at a simple $300 add or a long-line of other extra charges just to get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are other new features coming for the InControl Touch Pro system as well, including voice command for navigation, major graphic refreshes for certain screens, new shortcut buttons on the home screen for key navigation, media and phone functions, and changes to the user experience in the media screen. Jaguar and Land Rover first introduced the InControl Touch Pro for 2016, enabling users to learn whether they have enough fuel or battery range to get to a searched-for destination and share their destination, current location and ETA with others via email or text message when using the on-board nav system. The Touch Pro Duo first debuted on the 2018 Range Rover Velar and will be standard on the 2019 I-Pace electric crossover, plus the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. It features interlinked dual upper and lower touchscreens. In terms of the trim level availability mentioned earlier, a JLR spokesperson tells us that Smartphone Pack is available on all 2019 Jaguar F-Pace trim levels. It is available separately starting with the F-Pace Prestige trim level, but on the base F-Pace and Premium versions, you have to also get the optional Connect Pro Pack, Navigation Pro Pack, and traffic sign recognition and adaptive speed-limiter pack. Yes, it is a bit complicated. JLR recently released a touchscreen infotainment system designed to blend in with vintage models that retails for $1,796 before taxes.

Jaguar's V8-powered XE looks to take aim at the BMW M3
Tue, May 23 2017It seems that Jaguar's littlest sedan is about to get one of the company's biggest engines. One of our spy photographers caught the company testing a disguised XE. While most people's first instincts would be to dissect the car, our photographer paid some extra attention to the number plate, and looked up the car's registration. He says the registration reveals that this little car is packing a 5.0-liter V8. The only sort of 5.0-liter V8 Jaguar makes is supercharged and makes 550 horsepower or more. So what we're probably looking at is a future 550-horsepower XE R. On the car itself, there appear to be larger intake vents on each side of the front bumper, likely for cooling off a much bigger, hotter engine. And of course a more aggressive appearance. The V8 theory is further backed up by the quad-tip exhaust that clearly needs more development. Aside from these changes, this XE looks pretty similar to the sportier models in the current range. It has the same side skirts as the XE R-Sport and XE S. It also uses the same wheels as the XE S. We can safely say that at least the wheels will be different when the V8 model reaches production. As for when that will be, we'd say don't expect to see a revealed production model for at least a year, and possibly more, since there appears to be a decent amount of development left to do.
