1969 Jaguar Xke Roadster, Project, Barn Find. on 2040-cars
Newfane, New York, United States
I have a 1969 Jaguar XKE Roadster. The car has been in dry storage for 25 years and not driven. The engine is a 3.8 liter from an earlier XKE. Numbers are RA3203-9 on the head and block. The engine runs strong with 30-40 psi oil pressure. I drove the car and shifted through all gears with no problems. The brakes are not in working order and will need a going over. I'm currently using an auxiliary gas can and fuel pump. The gas tank will need cleaning and the fuel pump is not working. The battery and auxiliary fuel equipment is not included. All the lights and interior gauges seem to be in working order. The interior and leather seats are in very good condition. The convertible top and boot cover are like new. Windows roll up and down and have no cracks.The doors close nice and tight.The body has signs of body work on lower doors. The front bonnet has no signs of any body work. The under carriage and floor pans look fair, but will need a good cleaning.The paint is checking in some areas. I do not have the spare tire, jack or tool kit. I have no history of previous ownership. This car is a restoration project and sold as-is. So please ask questions before bidding. I have a clear NYS registration of ownership.

Jaguar XE hits the 'Ring wearing swirly camo
Wed, 21 May 2014Jaguar is happy to show off its new XE sedan on its social media sites, but when testing at the Nürburgring, it's a very different story. These spy shots show the new model in camouflage to make it much harder to discern, but there are still some intriguing details to pick out.
These photos give us a really good look at the XE's quirky rear end. The sedan has a super short trunk that almost fools you into thinking its a notchback, but the top edge of the trunk is clearly visible. It's a somewhat odd-looking design with the rear glass running underneath the roof's overhang to create an integrated spoiler. Despite the camo, the front end is the same as ever with a blunt edge and sharp headlights. Jag certainly isn't afraid to try something a little different compared to the XE's competitors, notably the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
Some technical details about the XE are already established. This 3 Series-fighter is slated to go on sale in foreign markets in 2015 and in the US in 2016. We know that it ride's on Jag's new aluminum platform that also underpins the C-X17 crossover concept, and power comes from a pair of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, available in petrol- or diesel-fueled configurations.
Evil Brits star in Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl commercial
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Chrysler's Imported from Detroit commercial from Super Bowl XLV is one of the most powerful car commercials in recent memory, and Jaguar is taking a similar approach - albeit with a more villainous spin - for its first-ever Super Bowl spot titled Rendezvous. While Chrysler and Eminem focused on hometown cheerleading, Jaguar is using its $8 million (the going rate for a 60-second commercial in this year's game) to play up the Hollywood tradition of typecasting a Brit as the bad guy.
In the spot highlighting the all-new F-Type Coupe, Jaguar looked to director Tom Hooper (the man behind movies like The King's Speech and 2012's Les Misérables), who filmed on location in London with British bad guy actors Mark Strong, Ben Kingsley and Tom Hiddleston. As the commercial implies, Brits make perfect bad guys with their style, sound and power, which are all traits evident in the F-Type.
The commercial will air in the fourth quarter of this Sunday's game, but you can watch it now in the video posted below. Jaguar has also included a press release as well as a second behind-the-scenes video showing how the ad was made.
