1970 Jaguar XJ has been fully gone through and can be driven anywhere! This is a classy car with all the amenities and comfort of a newer car and turns heads everywhere it goes. The car drives straight, rides smooth and begs to be driven on the highway.

Body: Body is in very nice shape and rust free. It has been repainted in the original signal red color code.  All the panels line up and gaps are even. The rear windshield seal has been replaced and the new front windshield seal is included with the sale of the car (not installed). It doesn’t leak but should be replaced in the near future. All the chrome and trim is in very nice condition.

Brakes: All of the brakes have been rebuilt and/or replaced. Extensive amount of work has gone into this car. The power brake booster was rebuilt, a new master cylinder was installed as well as all four brake calipers were rebuilt within the last year. New rotors and pads all the way around as well as new front and rear brake hoses.

Drivetrain: The car sports a healthy Chevy 350 cu in. mated to a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. New Holley 390cfm carburetor. Very reliable, easy to maintain and plenty of power. The speedometer cable is not hooked up but I believe there are adapter kits to go from the Jaguar speedo to the Chevy transmission. The drive shaft and half shafts all have new u-joints. This car sounds great and turns heads! 

Suspension: The suspension is solid and doesn’t squeak or make any unusual noises. Several bushings have been replaced recently.

Interior: The interior is presentable but could use some attention. I had started to reupholster the upper headliner surround pieces in black and they look really nice but never got around to the rest of the interior. The driver seat is still very comfortable but the bottom straps for the passenger seat are worn and it sags in the middle. All of the power windows operate. All of the dash instrumentation panel lights work.

Things to note: Since we bought this car the fuel tank on the left side (driver) had not been in use for an unknown amount of time. The car only uses the fuel tank on the right side. Condition of heater and AC are unknown. I have never fiddled with the heater to see if it works. The car seems to have a complete AC as well but I don’t think it works. The car has a CD player and nice speakers all the way around but I believe the fuse in the CD head unit is blown. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Jaguar design boss Callum reinterprets classic Mark 2 for himself [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

As the man behind the styling of basically every Jaguar since the mid 2000s, two things should be known about Ian Callum - he's a big fan of the brand, and he can bloody well get whatever kind of Jag he wants.
His newest car, though, is not what you might expect. Rather than an F-Type or an XJ, Callum has gone old school, and commissioned a custom, resto-modded Jaguar Mark 2.
Designed by Callum and built by Classic Motor Cars in Shropshire, England, the Mark 2 was an 18-month project between the designer and the garage. The essentially new car draws its power from a 4.3-liter engine that's been pilfered and modified from an XK. It's mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

Jaguar Land Rover will electrify all new models after 2020 — and maybe some old ones

Thu, Sep 7 2017

Just as Volvo did earlier this year, Jaguar and Land Rover announced a date after which all new models introduced will be electrified. That date is 2020, a year after Volvo, and JLR's definition of electrification is very similar to Volvo's, including full electrics, plug-in hybrids, and mild hybrids. Whether the British automaker's mild hybrids will be something like the 48-volt start-stop function on the Audi A8 or a more conventional hybrid has yet to be announced. Regardless, internal combustion engines won't disappear from the Jaguar and Land Rover lineups yet, and there's still a couple of years before the start date for the companies to sneak in a fully gasoline or diesel model if they wish. And on the flip side, there's nothing stopping the companies from releasing EVs or hybrids before the start date, which is exactly what Jaguar is doing with the I-Pace. Jaguar reiterated that the electric crossover will go on sale in 2018. View 11 Photos Jaguar specifically isn't just looking at electrifying future cars, but also possibly classic cars. Jaguar Land Rover Classic revealed its fully electric E-Type concept. The vintage car department took a first-generation model and created a battery pack and electric powertrain that could fit in the car, leaving as much original as possible, including the way it drives. The battery pack and motor are mounted up front, with power sent to the rear, and they weigh roughly the same and fill roughly the same space as the old straight-six engine. This keeps weight distribution the same, makes packaging easy, and should keep the driving experience roughly the same as the old car — though the electrified version is faster. Jaguar claims a 0-62 mph time of 5.5 seconds, which is about a second quicker than the gas-powered model. It also has a range of 170 miles and a charging time of around 6 to 7 hours. Other changes include an updated interior with touchscreen infotainment, carbon fiber dash, and LCD instruments. Jaguar said this electric conversion is just a concept right now, which could be just as well. We're not sure many E-Type owners would line up to replace their old six- and 12-cylinder engines. After all, part of the appeal of those cars is the sound of the engine, and stirring a manual gearbox.

Jaguar moves to trademark C-Pace name

Wed, Jul 11 2018

Jaguar is again picking up the pace. The manufacturer has filed a new European trademark application with the word "Pace" in it, and this time it's all about the C-Pace. While there is no other info to go with the name, it could very well stand for a new, upcoming compact crossover that would exist as an entry-level vehicle under the F-Pace, E-Pace and the electric I-Pace (which is easily differentiated from the non-electric E-pace, as the I-Pace doesn't use internal combustion). Australia's CarAdvice suggests the eventual range-topping Pace model would be called the J-Pace, to go along with the XJ nameplate that's formed an upscale backbone for Jaguar for decades. As for sedans, the XE is paired with the E-Pace, and the F-Pace corresponds to the XF; with Volvo's crossover versions already reserving the XC name, there's no chance for Jaguar to have a matching C-Pace and XC combination in its portfolio. The C-Pace could also be a crossover coupe version based on either the E-Pace or the F-Pace. The trademark application was filed on July 9, and along with car-related goods and services, the application also covers software and charging stations, even buildings. We'll keep an eye on it.
