1969 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Frostburg, Pennsylvania, United States
For sale is a 1969 Jaguar E type 4.2L Series II Coupe. The car runs and drives great. Mechanically it is original,
with just under 54,000 miles on it. The paint is an older custom gold color, but still shines well.
Over the past 5 years a good bit of work has been done to it. This includes front and rear rebuilt calipers, new
brake hoses, pads, parking brake pads, rotors, ball joints, tie rod ends, differential mounts, exhaust and all
exhaust mountings, new stainless steel heater pipes, all new water hoses, new water pump, both brake masters and
clutch master cylinders rebuilt, as well as new rack mounts and boots. For the interior a new carpet kit was
installed along with new door and side panels, door caps, and sill covers.
Overall the car is mostly complete, but is missing a few pieces. There are various chrome strips for the doors that
are missing, as well as all the chrome strips for the trunk boards, which also still need to be reupholstered. The
air conditioning does not work, as the compressor and dryer are not installed, but included is a used original
compressor that the owner purchased. While the transmission shifts fine, there is some audible gear/bearing noise.
The starter may need replaced eventually as it occasionally has trouble turning the engine over. The passenger side
door needs adjusted and has a broken latch. The car looks fairly solid underneath. There doesn't seem to be any
apparent rust issues. The front frame looks to be straight.

Autoblog Podcast #327:
Jaguar recalling XK Convertible and XF 2.0T sedan for unrelated issues
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that it will be recalling 1,989 XK Convertibles produced between October 1, 2010 and August 1, 2013. Model years ranging from 2011 to 2014 are part of the recall.
The issue has to do with one of the switches the switch that controls the opening and closing of the convertible top. The switch also has to do with the operation of the power windows. According to the Feds, the switch doesn't move down to close the power windows, meaning that the window could accidentally close on the finger or arm of an inattentive person.
In related news, Jaguar is also recalling 940 2013 XF sedans powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for a hose that can detach underhood, which could cause the engine to stall or could leave the driver without power steering or brakes.
2015 Jaguar F-Type V6 S Coupe
Wed, 03 Sep 2014My first, ill-fated job in the auto world was at an exotic car dealer in metro Detroit. The job itself sucked, but the cars, they were exceptional. Amidst a sea of Tiptronic Porsche Boxsters, first-gen Mercedes-Benz SLKs and abused second-generation Range Rovers, there were some real gems.
In particular, I have fond memories of a trio of undrivable Jaguar E-Types. Two Series II coupes as well as a Series III convertible (that featured a mostly broken roof) spent the entirety of my brief tenure at the dealership in the back of the musty service garage. I'd make side trips through there just to see the trio of E-Types, which rarely failed to put a big, ridiculous grin on my face.
Since that time in the summer of 2005, there hasn't been a single Jag that's been capable of eliciting the same goofy smile. Not the XFR-S, with its un-aristocratic wing, nor the XKR-S. At the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, though, Jaguar introduced this F-Type Coupe. Sure, the droptop model had been around for a bit, but I thought it was the new coupe that most captured the E-Type's classic aesthetic, with a swooping roofline, those gorgeous rear haunches and a long, powerful hood. I had to drive one.
