Impeccable Jaguar Xke Series Ii on 2040-cars
Park City, Utah, United States
This car is in impeccable conditions and was acquired from the original owner by the 2nd owner in 2013. The car was always stored in a heated storage garage in Salt Lake City, Utah. The original owner put approximately 80,000 miles on the car before having a ground up restoration done to the car by two well known restoration shops. The mechanicals were done by Jaguar Expert Walt Osborn of Vintage Jag Works presently in Blackfoot, Idaho and formerly of Salt Lake City. The cinnamon tan interior is perfect, but what was done to it is unknown, however the leather seats are original but in perfect condition, body & paint work was done by Troy Lundquist of Troy Lundquist Restorations, Sandy, Utah who has done work for many prominent people in Utah including John Huntsman. Per The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate included, it was originally Sable Brown and was changed to British Racing Green when it was restored. It was then driven approximately 4,000 miles before acquired by the 2nd owner who has driven it approximately 500 miles. As the car hadn't been driven for approximately 6 months the 2nd owner had the following work done in 2013: Radiator re-cored, new hoses installed, water pump replaced, speedometer rebuilt by Nisonger Instruments of NY, Carbs needles and seats installed to stop gas leaks, new battery terminals and hold down frame was installed. Original radio was repaired to accommodate an iPod with connector as parts were not able to be located for a full radio repair. The 4.2 Liter six cylinder engine was rebuilt and the pollution equipment removed and Triple SU side draft carburetors installed but it is unknown if they were on the car originally. It has a 4 speed synchromesh transmission that operates perfectly and was likely rebuilt during restoration. Included with the car are, a California interior car cover, 2 new clamp on side mirrors, the original owner’s manual, the original jack and case in perfect condition, lead hammer & knock off ring. All numbers were confirmed as matching per the JDHT Certificate & by a Jaguar expert as confirmed by his pictures that are available. The car drives perfectly even at high speeds. The tires although appear to be almost new and probably only have less than 5,000 miles on them are 10+ years old which is approximately when the restorations were completed. The five tires are mounted on 5 new stainless and chrome wire wheels and the spare has never been on the ground. The car was appraised by Pinnacle Car Appraisers in 2013 for over $70,000. It Won a Jaguar class award in August 2014 (3rd Place) at the Classic Sports Card Show in Park City, UT against stiff competition of many classic Jaguars from the Wasatch Mountain Jaguar Register, the Utah Chapter of the JCNA. 1st Place went to an off frame restored 1957 XK 140 DHC and 2nd Place went to an XKE OTS. |

2017 Jaguar XE
Thu, Apr 30 2015You've seen this movie before. Topple the BMW 3 Series has gone more rounds than The Fast and The Furious and The Transporter combined. But like any good cinematic retread, this time it's different. For starters, the latest installment is a zombie flick. Born from the ashes of Ford ownership and the failed X-Type, the 2017 Jaguar XE is coming to save us from the somnambulant, undead Bimmer. Think Army of Darkness with luxury sport sedans, and you'll understand what we're going for. Okay, the plot is only based on a true story. The reality in the automotive world isn't as dramatic as most car journalists would like you to believe. But the XE is hugely important for Jaguar's desire to increase global production. You're looking at the future best-selling model. It's built on an all-new body structure that forms the basis for all the brand's upcoming sedans. The smallest, most affordable Jaguar also launches with a new engine family, built in a new factory in England. The XE arrives stateside in early 2016 with two available engines. A 2.0-liter diesel from the new Ingenium lineup is the entry-level model. Above that is the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 familiar to the Jaguar and Land Rover lineup. A turbo 2.0-liter gas engine will come in below the diesel at a later date, with an optional manual transmission. The XE versions on launch will offer rear- or all-wheel-drive. Pricing information is yet to be revealed. Until then, just assume the XE will mimic its competitors for price and content. We spent most of our time driving the 35t with R-Sport trim, but check back for a driving impression of the diesel in a few days. As we reported in our prototype drive of the XE earlier this year, this car has incredible steering feel. It's the supernatural aid in the XE's monomyth if any film buffs are still paying attention. The electrically assisted system ranks in the hall of fame with the rack on the current Porsche 911 Carrera. Lightly weighted, the loads build up in the steering wheel like it's wired to strain gauges on the sidewall of the front tires. It's not just good programming that makes the XE steer so well, although that's a big part. The rest comes from the chassis. Jaguar engineers claim the double wishbone front suspension uses lessons learned from the F-Type. The rear part of the car's quick responses comes from a multi-link setup Jag calls integrated link. A body 20-percent stiffer than the current XF also contributes to sharp reflexes.
Jaguar testing facelifted XJ in UK
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Europe's flagship luxury sedans don't go through their lifecycles quite as quickly as other models need to, but with the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class hitting the road, Jaguar must feel it's time for a little update for its XJ sedan. And as these spy shots demonstrate, that's just what it has in store.
Falling firmly in the subtle-facelift category (as opposed to the full refresh), the placement of the camouflage on this new XJ appears to be hiding new fascias front and rear. Reshaped bumpers, trunk lid, grille and air apertures seem to be part of the impending facelift, but for better or worse, those black rear pillars seem to be staying put.
While Jaguar's at it, we can expect some updates to the cabin as well, with upgraded infotainment, ambient lighting and such. But don't go expecting anything radical at this stage. The XJ has been on the market for about four years, and it'll be another few before it demands a complete overhaul.
SVR plans to tune electrified Jaguar-Land Rover models, but not the I-Pace
Sun, May 24 2020Jaguar-Land Rover's SVR division has only put its name on high-horsepower gasoline-burning cars, like the XE Project 8 built in strictly limited numbers. It's open to the idea of tuning electrified models, whether they're electric or hybrid, but it confirmed it's not currently planning on making a spicier evolution of the I-Pace. "We will be developing electrified versions of our cars, be that fully electrified or plug-in hybrids," affirmed Michael van der Sande, the division's managing director, in an interview with Auto Express. But although the electric I-Pace (pictured) raced in a one-make race series held on the sidelines of Formula E events for two seasons, and SVR could credibly claim to inject track DNA into a street car, it stressed the I-Pace doesn't appear in its product plans for reasons that remain a little bit murky. Jaguar announced the end of the eTrophy series in May 2020, which might explain why it's reluctant to exploit racing's marketing power. "There are other various things we are working on which we can't talk about, but we're very interested in electrification. That's why we got involved in eTrophy," van der Sande clarified. "The technology transfer, the learning applies to that car and other cars but we're not planning an SVR I-Pace at the moment." His comments confirm we'll need to be patient to see what SVR's take on an electric or hybrid car looks like. One of the first electrified models to receive the go-fast treatment might be the next-generation XJ tentatively scheduled to make its debut before the end of 2020. It will be exclusively electric, though it won't look as radical as the I-Pace, so Jaguar will need to find a way to replace the hot-rodded XJR 575 model it positioned at the top of the last-generation model's line-up. It's not too far-fetched to speculate the next Range Rover also due out in the coming months will receive some degree of electrification, and it could spawn an SVR-tuned model, too. Related Video: Â Â
