“The most beautiful car ever built”

-Enzo Ferrari


One of the world’s most beautiful and elegant cars, the classic 1963 Jaguar XKE Series I Coupe.  


Jay Leno’s comments near the end of the video whilst driving “what an amazing automobile these are. I know a lot of people like the convertible... but for me these coupes are far sexier... more aerodynamic looking, I love the hatchback door... just fantastic.... if you took care of them and treated them right, these would last forever”.  


That’s exactly what we have here, a low mileage example that has been loved and maintained it’s whole life, with exterior and interior restoration complete.


265 hp, 3,781 cc inline six-cylinder engine, four-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension with semi-trailing wishbones, torsion bars, telescopic shock absorbers, anti-roll bar, independent rear suspension with lower transverse tubular links, radius rods, twin coil springs, and telescopic shock absorbers, and four-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 96 in.

  • Numbers-Matching example
  • Brand New Interior
  • Brand New Paint



Whether you referred to it as an E-Type or XKE, this Jaguar was most assuredly the sexiest car of the 1960s. It followed the Jaguar formula—sensational looks and sensational performance—which had been introduced so successfully with the XK120 in 1949 that it was restated with vigor in 1961. The youthful curves of the XK120 had matured with the XK150, while the E-Type made Jaguar young and exciting once again. Replacing the voluptuousness of the former car was the sleekness of the new one. What remained, however, was the undeniable sex appeal of the Jaguar formula.


The E-Type was preceded by the competition D-Type of the mid-1950s and its short-lived production version, the XKSS of 1957. Like the D-Type, the new car used monocoque construction: The front of the chassis featured a space-frame with steel tubes that supported the engine, the front suspension, and the hinged hood and fender assembly, which lifted to provide virtually unlimited engine access. The proven twin-cam inline six-cylinder engine of the former 150S, a four-wheel independent suspension, and disc brakes at each corner were featured, and 150 mph was also promised; all of this for a price of only $6,000!


During the entire Series I production, Jaguar produced only 5872 two-seat coupes, including this black over black leather beauty.  While having had only two owners over it’s 50 year history, it has recently been looked over mechanically, with a thorough rejuvenation of its brakes, carburetors, wheel cylinders, gas tank, and other mechanicals performed by Blue Chip Motorcars & Family Classic Service Center in Southern California.  A no-expense-spared exterior restoration was completed just last year, and continues to appear fresh as it has been garaged every day since.  


This Jaguar XKE features exterior black paint set off by a brand new black leather interior. This combination of all Black is exceptionally attractive, especially with the elegant chromed Wire Wheels, which are in excellent condition and sporting a brand new set of tires.  In the automotive world and especially the XKE world, this Black Beauty represents the creme de la creme.  


There are no records with the car but it was obvious from the condition of the interior that the car had lived a pampered life.  The original interior was replaced simply because the leather was cracked and dried out and the seat cushions needed replacement and overall did not match the condition of the gorgeous exterior work. 

 

The interior has been fitted with the original style English black leather on seats, door panels, thresholds and center console; new carpet set and headliner of English wool.  There is nothing quite like the brand new smell of high-end leather as this work was completed just last month, by a notable shop here in Southern CA.  


The wood grain rim steering wheel was refreshened recently and looks spectacular. 


The paint restoration was done by Webb & Sons just this past year in Indiana and is an absolute stunner on this pristine, virgin bodied XKE. 

The car was completely stripped to the metal and repainted to a top-notch concour style level. New rubber seals were installed at the time of paint restoration.  No expense was sparred in the paint job.


Black is unforgiving, especially a paint job done to this calibre. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.  I would have to say the car looks better in person than in the pictures. 


The Chrome was nice on the car and the second owner elected to keep it all original when it was repainted.  As you can see in the pictures the chrome is very good.  The bumpers front and rear are either original or have been replated at some point in it’s life and would rate a 9+ out of 10.  The front headlight trim is faded somewhat and would rate a 7.  The door handles are bright but have minor pitting.  The decision was made last week to remove the headlight bezels and door handles and have them replated to match the front and rear bumpers and overall level of the car.  They will be on the car when it is delivered.  


The body on this Jag is in simply phenomenal shape, having no signs of ever having been damaged.  After spending 90% of it’s life in Southern California it is completely rust free and shows no signs of any repair to the chassis or body.  It is extremely straight and true with doors, hood and trunk all fitting exactly like they should.  


I have been pulling cars apart for about 25 years for various types of restorations and I can say this is one of the nicest bodied Jags from this era that I have seen.  I have also judged cars at all types of venues and this paint will stand up with some of the best I have judged anywhere.  


The car drives and sounds wonderfully , straight down the road with plenty of power and a smooth shifting transmission.  The mileage on the car is the original, having always been a weekend car for the two previous owners.  Since we had no records on what had been done to the engine we decided a compression test was in order: 

150, 165, 180, 170, 180, 170


The car has recently been gone over mechanically, with a thorough rejuvenation of its brakes, including wheel cylinders, new front hoses and pads, front and rear master cylinders.  The calipers were replaced last year. The valve covers were removed and polished, new fluids throughout and the carbs have been tuned.  


We believe this mileage is original based on the way the engine compartment and undercarriage look in this amazing example of British Royalty.  


This would be a great car to show right now as it is, or continue to concour it out in the engine area and undercarriage.  This would also make an incredible weekend driver for a discriminating collector.  

All the hard stuff is done, just get in it and take it up the coast.  


Jay said it best right at the very end of his video about the EXACT same car that he bought for himself: 


“You know this is still one of the great classic car bargains... if you can find one grab it now.. these are going to get crazy prices... they’re crazy now, but you are going to look back and say I should have bought one then... if you can find one it’s way better than the stock market”. 


Quite simply, this is the perfect example for the enthusiast or collector looking to purchase one of Jaguar’s sexiest creations.

Jaguar XK to cease production this summer

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

With the introduction of the F-Type coupe and convertible, Jaguar has cleared room in its sports car lineup to drop the XK for new models. "There will be a 2015 model year XK, but the rumors are true, production for the XK will end later this year after eight years," said Wayne York Kung, Jaguar USA National Product Communications Manager, in an email to Autoblog. A replacement for the GT might be a very long way off.
The automaker told Auto Express that it's part of a "wider strategic vision and product planning cycle." Ending assembly will allow the feline luxury brand to build better-selling vehicles like the XE, its upcoming BMW 3 Series fighter. The new sedan is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2015 and in the US in 2016. It also needs to make room for the C-X17 crossover to be built, which is likely expected to sell better than a 2+2 GT car.
"There are no immediate plans to replace the XK," said Kung in his email. Jag was rumored to be considering moving a future generation of it upmarket. The new model would have been a bigger, softer grand tourer and allow the F-Type to be the brand's more hardcore sports car.

Not just 'our logo on a sail': Automakers gain technology from America's Cup

Wed, Jun 28 2017

HAMILTON, Bermuda - From water taxis that "fly" on hydrofoils to aircraft wings and cutting-edge car steering wheels, the America's Cup has produced technology with potential far beyond its "foiling" catamarans. With their focus on carbon fiber and aerodynamics, the teams that fought for the America's Cup attracted partners including planemaker Airbus and automotive groups BMW and Land Rover, who were keen to learn from them. One area where this is likely to have an impact is in harnessing "foiling" technology, where the America's Cup boats "fly" above the water on foils, cutting water resistance. "Foiling in small electric boats will most likely appear on rivers in major cities. We are just at the beginning of the foiling adventure," Pierre Marie Belleau, head of Airbus Business Development, who managed its partnership with Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA, told Reuters. The space-age catamarans used in the 35th America's Cup, which ended in victory for Emirates Team New Zealand this week, can sail at maximum speeds of 50 knots (57 mph) and have more in common with flying than sailing."CARBON FIBER RELATIONSHIP" For Jaguar Land Rover, which sponsored British sailor Ben Ainslie's attempt to win the cup, the relationship is a strategic one with a focus on technology and innovation. "We don't just get our logo onto a sail," Mark Cameron, JLR's Experiential Marketing Director, said by telephone, adding that the carmaker would be providing more designers to help Land Rover BAR with technology for their next campaign. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly. It's all changing," Land Rover produced a special steering wheel for Ainslie to use in the America's Cup, with in-built gear shift paddles that allowed him to adjust the catamaran's "flight" levels. The relationship is similar between BMW and Oracle Team USA, with the German automaker focused on areas including the electronics in the wheel used by skipper Jimmy Spithill, the development of carbon fiber used to make the boat and its components, and the aerodynamic testing. "We like to think of ourselves more as a partner than a sponsor. We have a very strong carbon fiber relationship," Ian Robertson, who is the BMW management board member responsible for sales and brand, told Reuters between races. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly.

Jos? Mourinho shares his fear in Jaguar F-Type R Coupe spot

Fri, 09 May 2014

Jaguar is in the middle of an image makeover. It wants people to know that it makes more than just big, comfy luxury cars. Underneath that there is an edge. In its recent ads, the company wants to be associated with a more tailored, witty form of villainy. The next step is showing that it's also fearless.
Many Americans might not be familiar with José Mourinho, but he's one of the premier soccer, or football, coaches in the world. He's nicknamed "The Special One." Mourinho worked his way up from an assistant coach to lead small teams but eventually took over international heavyweights like Real Madrid and Chelsea.
In a new ad for the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Mourinho talks about what it means to be afraid. You might think such successful people overcome their fears, but successful men are driven it, he claims. But being scared doesn't make a man weak - it makes him dangerous. Scroll down to understand what Mourinho is talking about and get an earful from the wonderful exhaust of the R Coupe.
