1969 Jaguar E type 2+2
This car started as a very low mile (7266 actual miles!) , solid driver that the previous owner drove for awhile
and then decided to go all out and have a frame off restoration done without regard to expense. It was born silver
with dark blue interior. Automatic with air conditioning. He had the car built for his wife and wanted it to be
more comfortable, ride and handle better, and be more reliable than factory. He also wanted to show it as well.
The restoration bills alone totaled over 100k! Every piece was touched!
The engine was swapped with a new ford crate 302 (the original matching numbers 6 come with). A new TCI ford
automatic with overdrive trans was installed (the original Matching numbers Jaguar automatic is included). The
rear end is the original but it was completely gone thru. Every area of the car was touched! It has an upgraded
aluminum radiator. Ice cold Vintage air system. Power steering and brakes. All that was done in the engine
compartment can be reversed to stock if you choose so. As it is right now, it fires up right away and cruises down
the road straight, you can run 80 with ease. No rattles whatsoever. As I said, the previous owner built it for his
wife so he wanted it to drive easy and be reliable. The car is very well sorted out.
The paint work was done by a high quality builder with a long standing reputation of building quality cars. It
is a very straight, but does have a couple chips around the edges of the rear boot. There has been a little over
5k miles put on the car since completion. It is a dark grayish- green color. I have paint for touch ups if the
new buyer needs The undercarriage is just as clean as the top. There was no undercoating applied. All the
chrome, glass, weather striping, etc was all redone. He chose to remove the front bumper corners but they are
included with the car as well.
The interior was completely reworked as well. The seats were recovered in leather over top the original frames.
The seats and headliner and absolutely beautiful. The console was reworked with built in speakers and a secret
audio unit. All gauges work. New Ron Francis wiring. They did replace the Jaguar speedometer and tachometer with
new, but the originals are included. The title states 7266 actual miles (see pic) and original speedometer
matches, however I am selling 7266 NON ACTUAL miles due to the fact that the speedometer was changed. The
aftermarket speedometer in it now shows the miles accumulated since the frame off which is just over 5000. This is
a common practice when classic cars are completely restored, I just like to keep things straight. One of the pics
is of the car prior to restoration. In hindsight, they would have been wise to not touch the car, keep as a very
low mileage survivor and save the over 100k they spent on the restoration, but this is where it is now. He just
wanted to start with the best car he could find to have his car built upon. The guy was extremely picky and
precise.
This is an stunning car. Upon inspection the high build cost is evident. I like to try to disclose all issues I
know of, so when the new owner comes to pick the car up there are no surprises. The few things I see are, the
couple chips in the paint as previously mentioned. These are not at all excessive, just what you would expect from
the limited usage the car has had since completion 5000 miles and 7 years ago. The passenger exterior door handle
sticks. I have not had it looked at yet. I feel a little hesitation going into overdrive. It does go, it just
seems to me it takes a sec longer than it should. This may be indicative of these transmissions when adding
overdrive, but I'm not sure, this is the first Ive owned with this kind of set up. I am a purist and all the cars
in my collection are bone stock. I thought of swapping the original engine and trans back, reinstalling the
original front bumper corners and speedometer and tachometer, but this car is way too nice to touch. I will be
more than happy to show the car to serious buyers and send any additional pics needed. I will also be happy to
discuss the car 317.667.6240.

Is the Jaguar XFR-S really worth $17k more than the XFR? [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Adding performance to a car is rarely cheap - whether you're looking to do it yourself or rely on the factory to do it for you. In the case of the new Jaguar XFR-S, the cost differential over an already-impressive (and somewhat expensive) XFR is a stout $16,800. Auto Express recently got a hold of both cars to see whether that price pays off on the track.
For that price, Jaguar gives the XFR-S an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque - for a total of 550 hp and 502 lb-ft - to go with a stiffer suspension, beefed-up differential and, of course, meaner styling. We don't want to ruin the results of the AE video, but right off the bat, the host says that you can feel the extra power of the XFR-S, but that it's not a "night-and-day difference."
Scroll down to see what happens when two high-powered Jags go head-to-head on a track. And then be sure to let us know whether or not you think the added money is worth it for the XFR-S in the completely informal poll below.
Jaguar's design boss wants to build another sports car model
Thu, Dec 5 2019The global sports car segment is facing a strong, glacial headwind, but Jaguar believes smoother waters are right around the corner. One of the company's top executives predicted the market will recover in the coming years, and he wants his team to be ahead of the curve when that happens. "Jaguar will always build sports cars. I'd love to do more than one," affirmed Julian Thomson, the man who replaced Ian Callum at the head of the brand's design department, in an interview with British magazine Auto Express. The only sports car currently in the Jaguar portfolio is the F-Type. While enthusiasts still love sports cars, the run-of-the-mill buyers that keep automakers profitable have rejected them in favor of crossovers and SUVs. And, requests for cleaner, more efficient cars make developing fun cars considerably more difficult; even Mazda is looking into taking the Miata into hybrid or electric territory. Jaguar faces the same challenges, but Thomson expects the sports car segment will rise up from its ashes when motorists realize they're trapped in a sea of crossovers. "In this day and age of electrification and autonomous technology, a part of me thinks there may be a resurgence of people enjoying transportation for transportation's sake, and driving for driving's sake," he said. "Whether that makes the market bigger I don’t know, but I think there is a threat to volume production cars, and they are going to struggle to find a position on what they do. IÂ’d hope that truly special and luxury cars, sports cars, will find a place where they have the option to be more exotic." He stopped short of confirming a second sports car is under development, so it's far too early to pinpoint the segment it would compete in. In the meantime, Jaguar just gave the F-Type a facelift (pictured), and its vehicle development team has already started working on the model's successor. The rumor mill has started spinning; we've heard reports of the nameplate pulling a Corvette by going mid-engined, adopting BMW's 4.4-liter V8, and getting a battery-electric powertrain. The latter option would slot neatly into Jaguar's electrification push, but Thomson hinted it's easier said than done. He explained making an electric sports car with a huge amount of power, like the 2,000-horsepower Lotus Evija, is not the answer.
Jaguar XE spied flying over London
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We only have a few hours to wait before Jaguar finally, and fully, unveils its oft-teased XE sedan. But the Internet is no respecter of secrets, as these very last-minute spy shots make clear.
Presumably being airlifted to its spectacular debut location near Earl's Court in London, the BMW 3-Series-fighting XE was captured mid-flight, and completely undisguised.
The images are understandably a bit blurry, but they do confirm that DNA from the current Jag lineup is transitioning nicely to the new small luxury sedan. The XE shows a stance typical of the brand, with a relatively short rear overhang, and big, boldly styled wheels. The bluff front end is reminiscent of if the XF and XJ, and, as we know from earlier teasers, will wear a "growler" logo over a black grille.
