1969 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Johnstown, New York, United States
If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: baobaaustino@artsociety.net . Up for sale is this beautiful, one owner, 1969 Jaguar XKE 4.2 roadster. I am not a dealer, I am a family friend
of the original owner and I'm assisting her in selling her beloved Jaguar. The car was purchased new from
Harrington Motors in Montgomery New York in 1969. It has always been garaged and for the most part is all original.
It currently has 45,xxx original miles on it's all original, numbers matching drive train. The interior is all
original from its black leather seats to it's mahogany steering wheel to its original Jaguar rubber floor mats.
Some scuffs on the leather seats are present, the pad on the center console is a little worn and the clock in the
dash does not work, the rear view mirror is cracked. The wood on the steering wheel is cracked but could be easily
repaired.
The exterior of the car is in excellent condition for an original, forty-six year old car. The car was
repainted in the 1970's due to a fender bender type accident but the Primrose Yellow paint has held up very well.
It does have some small dings, chips and scuffs as you would expect of a forty year old paint job. One of the
issues with the paint is that some of the trim pieces have traces of the repaint on them. The convertible top is in
excellent condition. The original chrome wire wheels are in great shape with little rust and just a trace of
peeling. The chrome trim is in nice shape.
The original engine runs great. It did have some work done last winter by Klaus Garage in Hopewell Junction New
York (see pics for repair invoice). The carburetors were rebuilt, the gas tank was replaced, clutch slave cylinder,
new battery, brake fluid reservoir, brake master and servo unit, fuel pump, basic tune-up etc work along with a
passed New York State inspection. The car runs great, This past May, the car was driven fifty plus miles from my
house in Hopewell Junction NY to the Royals Car Show at Lime Rock Racetrack in CT without a problem.

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs
Thu, Feb 1 2018LONDON — 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.

Jaguar XJ220 hooned remotely by a kid
Sat, 31 Aug 2013The Tax the Rich crew has a knack for indulging in automotive fantasies and capturing it all on video, such as a tug-of-war battle between two Ferrari F50s, drifting a Ferrari Enzo on gravel roads and even powersliding a Rolls-Royce Phantom on a field of wet grass. This latest video features a Jaguar XJ220 and a kid with an iPad, who somehow is able to control the old supercar with the Apple product.
No, there's no app for that (yet), and we lied - the boy isn't actually controlling the car - but it sure is nice to see the XJ220 in all its turbocharged, six-cylinder glory doing donuts and sliding across a grassy field. It jolts us to see the old Jaguar - capable of 217 miles per hour and once described by Jeremy Clarkson as having no brakes and massive turbo lag - thrown about like a rally car, but then we never imagined anybody would abuse a Rolls-Royce like that either. We'll continue to leave the high-stakes antics to Tax the Rich - we're just glad somebody had the guts to behave so badly in such a valuable machine. What else were they made for?
Be sure to check out the video below, if you have a pulse.
