WE ARE ASSISTING WITH THE SALE OF THIS 1970 JAGUAR XKE..............THAT STARTED LIFE AS A 2+2 COUPE WITH A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.
IT WAS PURCHASED BY THE CURRENT OWNER 15 YEARS AGO.
DURING THAT TIME HE HAS CONVERTED IT TO A STANDARD SHIFT TRANSMISSION ACCOMPANIED BY AN ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL WITH THE BALANCE OF THE PARTS BEING ALL JAGUAR, INCLUDING AN E TYPE GEARBOX.
THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT USING ISKY CAMS OVER A FRESH VALVE JOB AND NEW PISTONS, RINGS, BEARINGS, OIL PUMP, ETC AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBURETORS WERE UPGRADE TO TRIPLE 2" SU'S. AND A SET OF FREE FLOW TUBULAR HEADERS WERE INSTALLED
THE REAR END AND REAR BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY REFURBISHED INCLUDING A GEAR CHANGE TO 2:88 WHICH MAKE THIS CAR A GREAT HIGHWAY CRUISER.
HE ALSO ADDED AN ORIGINAL JAGUAR HARDTOP.
THE MAJORITY OF THIS WAS DONE DURING THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP BUT BECAUSE THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN USED DURING THE SHORT SUMMER MONTHS HERE IN NEW ENGLAND IT HAS NOT ACCUMULATED THAT MANY MILES. LAST YEAR IT WAS ONLY USED ABOUT 400 MILES.
THE CAR RUNS REAL STRONG AND IS FAST COMPARED TO A STOCK 1970'S JAG AS A RESULT OF THE CAMS, CARBURETORS, ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL AND THE REAR END GEAR RATIO.
THE PAINT IS GOOD BUT THERE ARE SOME FLAWS WHICH WE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PICTURES. THERE ARE NO FRONT BUMPERS AND THE REARS COULD USE A RE-PLATE. THE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE DECENT. ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS WORK. THERE IS NO CLOCK. THERE IS A TONNEAU COVER THAT CAN BE FITTED WHEN THE HARD TOP IS REMOVED BUT THERE IS NO CONVERTIBLE TOP OR TOP FRAME. THESE CAN BE HAD ON BAY IF SO DESIRED.
TWO YEARS AGO HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GEARBOX SO THAT WAS REMOVED AND REBUILT AND A NEW CLUTCH WAS INSTALLED.
IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO START AND IS A BLAST TO DRIVE.
THIS MORPHED JAGUAR IS BEING OFFERED AT A FRACTION OF THE COST TO DO THE ABOVE MENTIONED WORK NOT INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE CAR.
YES IT IS A CONVERTED CAR AND YES IT NEEDS A BIT OF TLC BUT YOU WILL NOT FIND A RUNNING, DRIVING, DECENT LOOKING OPEN E TYPE FOR THIS LOW... LOW PRICE. WE HAVE SOLD CARS THAT NEEDED 10'S OF THOUSAND OF DOLLARS FOR MORE THAN WHAT HIS CAR IS BEING OFFERED FOR.
IT NEEDS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF $$ AND ATTENTION TO BRING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND YOU WILL STILL BE INTO IT FOR LESS THAN A BEAST THAT NEEDS RESTORATION
WE WILL TRY TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
2016 Jaguar F-Type debuts available manual transmission, AWD
Wed, 19 Nov 2014If you're like us, you fell in the deepest, darkest sort of love with Jaguar's F-Type the moment its voluptuous form first surfaced. The car's full-bodied engine specs only furthered our ardor, and the droptop Jag sealed the deal before we even turned a wheel - all it took was hearing its engine bark to life.
And yet, even after driving the original convertible and the subsequent coupe, we've never quite shaken the notion that Jaguar erred a bit too heavily on the Grand Touring side of the equation for a proper sports car. That's partially because even the base model comes with a boatload of weight-adding luxury features. But perhaps more importantly, it's because the F-Type has only been available with an automatic transmission. Admittedly, the gearbox in question is a damned good paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF unit, but it's always chafed a bit that Jaguar wasn't committed to offering purists a manual - even if such a model would never be a high-volume proposition.
Apparently we weren't the only ones bothered by three-pedal omission. According to Russ Varney, F-Type Vehicle Program Director,
Jaguar trademarks EV-Type nameplate
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Green may have been a popular color choice for the classic Jaguar E-Type, but even in Lightweight form (pictured above), it was hardly what you'd call environmentally friendly. Not by today's standards, anyway, with six-, eight- and twelve-cylinder engines displacing between 3.8 and 5.3 liters. But Jaguar looks to be preparing to revive the nameplate - or at least one similar - with a new electric vehicle in the works.
According to the latest intel, Jaguar has applied both in the US and in Europe to trademark the name EV-Type. The implication that it's developing an electric vehicle is clear, as is the reference to its iconic sports car of yore. But more than that, we don't know. We could be looking at an electric version of the current F-Type, a project to convert original E-Types to electric power or a different model altogether.
It wouldn't be the first time, of course, that we'd see Jaguar toying with the idea of electric propulsion. A couple of years ago, the British automaker demonstrated a plug-in hybrid XJ_e prototype, and showcased both the C-X16 and C-X75 concepts with advanced hybrid powertrains. But it has yet to put any such system into production, relying instead on the small diesels it sells in Europe to keep its carbon footprint small.
