1969 Jaguar Xke Coupe on 2040-cars
|
I restored this excellent Jaguar 5 years ago. It has less than 1000 mile on a complete rotisserie restoration. The car was restored for my wife to use so I spared no expense to make it a perfect driver. It has an upgraded cooling system with an aluminum radiator and a hi-torque starter. I added a R-134 under dash air conditioner and a marvelous 5 speed transmission. The engine was rebuilt and the car was painted back to the original silver with the totally new original color red interior. All the chrome was redone and I had an invisible bra installed on the nose and on the rocker panels. We broke the car in carefully and when I asked my wife when she was going to drive her most favorite car of all time, she said "Never"! I think the long hood and the manual transmission with the hills in our area make her worried about hurting it. The car sits in our garage and does not get the exercise it deserves. I think the car is close to perfect. The flaws I notice are; the rear window has some light scratches on it, the front bumper on the drivers side has a little chrome flaw on the edge, the left rear wheel chrome is starting to degrade and that is all I can find. The car has been very popular at every show we have taken it to. The color combination is unbelievable as the pictures show. If you want more information, I would be happy to provide it.

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
Jaguar Buys World's Largest Collection Of British Classic Cars
Fri, Jul 25 2014This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Jaguar's Special Operations division announced today it has bought the world's largest collection of classic British cars. The 543 cars had belonged to wealthy dental entrepreneur Dr. James Hull, who sold the entire collection to the British automaker for $170 million dollars. Jaguar scored 130 of its own vehicles in the lot, including a XK, SS, C, D and E-types, XJ as well as a few rare Land Rovers, according to Road & Track. The division that bought the cars is not only responsible for the heritage museum, but also for special projects. Special Operations finished the 18-car run of the lightweight E-types, albeit 50 years late. Jaguar plans to use the cars as promotional pieces to highlight the history of the brand, according to Cars UK. Related Gallery Retro Features Car Shoppers Still Want
Reliving the Jaguar XJ220 with a father-son duo
Sat, Mar 14 2015Jaguar may have canceled the C-X75 project, but there was a time when the Leaping Cat marque did make supercars. Sure, there were the XJR-9 and XJR-15 homologation specials made by TWR, but more famous was the XJ220. Although its reign may have lasted only a year before the McLaren F1 came along, for a brief time in the early 1990s, the XJ220 was the fastest car in the world – which is even more impressive when you consider that it was only powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 when its rivals were using mostly V8s and V12s. That makes the XJ220 a rather noteworthy supercar from the dawn of the 200-mph era. The thing is, while Jaguar has come to embrace the XJ220 as an exceptional part of its history, it doesn't have the time or energy to devote to servicing the 275 that were made between 1992 and 1994. So it turns to Don Law Racing. The father-son team – made up of a master mechanic and his hot-shoe offspring – is tasked with keeping the XJ220 alive both in body and in spirit, and do so with a great deal of well-deserved pride. Drive went out to their workshop in Staffordshire to tell their story.
