1970 Jaguar E-Type.  Mfg date is 11/69.  One of the best classic E-Type's in TN.!  This beautiful E-Type started it's life first being first sold in Nashville, TN. It then ended up in California being owned by John Paul DeJoria (google John Paul for more info)!

This gorgeous Jaguar has been repainted with German Standox paint in it's original color.  The interior has been replaced with new tan leather from OSJI in Indiana.  The soft top replaced with a new black canvas top from OSJI.  The engine has been upgraded to triple SU carburetors.  This XKE has new Dayton wire wheels (including the spare) and new Universal white wall tires.

New Mallory distributor with Pertronix ensures a nice running engine.  New brake pads, new brake, and clutch reservoirs, new engine and transmission mounts.  New aluminum radiator, new battery, new brake master cylinder, new clutch cylinder, all gauges have been cleaned and calibrated by Nisonger's at a cost of well over $1,000. 

There are soooo many other new parts not mentioned and all documented for the next owner. This XKE can be driven anywhere and can be yours for the right price!

This beautiful Jaguar E-Type even includes all documentation including the original invoice showing that the trade-in was an Austin Healey 3000. 

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!

Add'l new parts include: new fuel pump, new SS exhaust, new belts, new hoses, new washer bottle, new wiper blades, new relays, new fuses, new fuel tank sender, and the list goes on….

This Jaguar XKE is both a "winner" show car, as well as, can be a daily driver and driven anywhere!  That was my goal with this one!


On Feb-27-14 at 15:23:48 PST, seller added the following information:

This beautiful XKE originally sold on January 19, 1970 for $6,734.50.  The original owner traded his 1962 Austin-Healey Mk II and received $1,140 for his trade.


I have the original documentation (invoice) that shows this detail.

Ironically, I traded my 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 (show car) for this Jaguar XKE.  I purchased my Austin-Healey from a restorer in NJ and a year later, traded it back to him for this beautiful XKE.  At the time, I didn't know the original owner also traded his Austin-Healey when this car was new.  I thought this was pretty cool ….

Please let me know if you have any additional questions…

Autocar compares new Maserati Quattroporte to Jaguar XJ

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe took the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte on a spin along snowy mountain roads to test it for a specific brief: as a limousine for the chauffeured class. It's sporting credentials are impressive: Twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8, 532 horsepower, 475 pound-feet of torque in casual circumstances that rises to 532 lb-ft in overboost, a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour sprint of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.
However, citing Maserati's desire to not just increase its sales to 50,000-per-annum by 2015, but to sell many more of its cars in China, Sutcliffe wanted to find out if the livery side of the Quattroporte could match its sport sedan side. So after taking the pilot's seat and trying out the sport settings, Sutcliffe hops in back to test out the CEO's seat.
Then he compares the Quattroporte against the long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ with its supercharged V8, a sedan that's 15,000 pounds less expensive than the Maserati. It doesn't take long for him to find that one of them is a clear winner when it comes to transporting VIPs. To find out which one, enjoy the video below.

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs

Thu, Feb 1 2018

LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.

Ferrari and Jaguar dominate the 2017 Arizona Auctions

Mon, Jan 23 2017

The 2017 Arizona Auctions took place this past weekend, and one look at the results should be a reminder that big-name auto auctions are no place for mere mortals. Aside from the fast paced nature – seven auction houses moved 3,486 vehicles across the auction block – the rarest and most desirable cars sold for more than most people will make in a lifetime. There were around 20 cars that sold for at least $1 million, with Bonhams topping the list with a $7,370,000 1963 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight. Despite $259.8 million in sales, Hagerty reports that 2017 was only the second biggest weekend in the Arizona auction's long history. The figure was up $9 million from 2016's total, but much of that increase can be attributed to the 12-percent increase in the total number of cars auctioned. The average selling price was $89,601, with the vast majority of vehicles selling for less than $100,000. Aside from the 1963 Jaguar E-Type, there were a number of rare and noteworthy vehicles for up for grabs. RM Sotheby's $6,600,000 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster was the runner-up in value, followed closely by a $6,380,000 1952 Ferrari 340 America Competizione Spider from Bonhams. The various top-10 lists were awash with Ferraris and other European automakers, though much of the lower-end sales were populated by classic American autos. Most of the top sellers were built before 1970, though the occasional newer model (1995 Ferrari F50, 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, 2006 Ford GT) made it through. Based on 2017's overall theme, it appears that interest on cars from American automakers is on the rise. Hagerty notes that a number of 1980s American sports cars like the Chevrolet Corvette and Pontiac Firebird did surprisingly well. Look for the 2018 auctions to see if the momentum continues.
