1971 Jaguar Xke V12 Series Iii 2+2 on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
I used the vehicle as a daily driver from 2002-2006 when it was parked for mechanical rework that was not completed. It has a 5.3 liter V12 with matching numbers to the chassis. The engine can be started with all cylinders operating but does not run well (it appears to have intake vacuum leaks).
Beyond it's incredible appearance and performance when operating, this classic vehicle was famous for some highly unreliable sub-systems such as electrical, carburation, brakes, fluid leaks, overheating, and general mechanical. In an attempt to remedy much of that, this vehicle has had extensive mechanical modifications aimed at improving its performance and reliability. These modifications include such items as hardened steel fine-threaded inserts (Keencerts) in almost all of the engine's threaded holes mated with stainless steel and alloy socket-head cap bolts. It has been retrofitted with custom intake manifolds accommodating quad Weber 2bbl side draft carburetors and custom built exhaust headers to side pipes. The engine compartment wiring and charging system have been entirely reworked along with the cooling system (added oil cooler), redone cylinder heads with new valves, timing chain and camshafts, redone front and rear suspensions, a new optical ignition system, a totally redesigned Cadillac power braking system, and a high performance fuel delivery system. The drive train was fully functional when the car was last driven. With the exception of these engine modifications, the car is largely original. Actual mileage is unknown as it was run with a disconnected speedometer so the 85k miles showing is not accurate. There are quite a few spare parts that are included with the car. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I'll be happy to help make the arrangements. If interested, don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions you may have. |

Jaguar F-Pace prototype goes to work at the Nurburgring
Wed, Apr 15 2015Jaguar is hard at work again, testing its upcoming F-Pace crossover. And here's our latest look at the prototype testing at the Nurburgring. The tester spotted here appears the same as the one we recently saw undergoing cold-weather development, only this time it's wearing summer rubber on fullsize wheels instead of winter tires on smaller ones. It's also missing the old prototype's auxiliary lights, and a bit more camouflage covering the quarter panels. The fact that it was seen on the Nordschleife, however, bodes well for the F-Pace and speaks to its orientation: Jaguar's first crossover promises to be geared towards performance, a sort of on-road counterpart to the off-road prowess of the SUVs offered by its sister brand Land Rover. We're looking forward to seeing the finished product at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the fall, but in the meantime you can scope out the spy shots in the slideshow above.
Jaguar XE SVR to challenge M3, C63 with supercharged V8 power
Tue, Oct 14 2014Jaguar has a healthy powertrain range lined up for its new XE, including an array of four-cylinder engines and a supercharged 3.0-liter six that will, for now, serve as the range-topping offering in the XE S. But Car and Driver claims to have it on good authority that an even more powerful eight-cylinder version is in the works, as well. According to C/D, the XE's engine bay has been designed to accommodate the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter V8 engine, which in the larger XF is offered in several states of tune, including the XF Supercharged with 470 horsepower, the XFR with 510 hp and the flagship XFR-S with 550 hp. Just which version (or versions) would be offered in the XE remains to be seen, but even in its lowest-spec supercharged form, the 470-hp version would already be enough to challenge the 425-hp BMW M3 and the base 469-hp version of the new Mercedes-AMG C63. If Jaguar wants to take on the C63 S, however, it will need to shoehorn in one of the more powerful versions. In the end, Coventry's new Special Vehicle Operations division may opt to offer two versions, like it does with the XFR and XFR-S. Expect the top version, however much muscle it packs, to wear the British automaker's new SVR badge. It just may take a few years before it does so.
Leno and Ian Callum pilot Jaguar XK120 at 2014 Mille Miglia
Mon, 02 Jun 2014Jay Leno has been in a British mood recently with his videos highlighting the McLaren P1, 1962 Norton 650SS and Steve McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS. He's keeping the streak alive this week with a look at driving a Jaguar XK120 in the 2014 Mille Miglia historic rally with Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum.
The video show off Jay Leno's Garage in top form. It's way more than just Jay driving the 1,000-mile route from Brescia, Italy, to Rome and back. He also includes interviews with Stirling Moss about winning the race back in 1955, and racer Martin Brundle about what it's like to drive a long-nose Jaguar D-Type this year.
Today, the Mille Miglia is only for historic cars, and it has a much more relaxed pace than the original all-out event. However, this isn't entirely a cruise. Leno seems scared at times talking about it because the drivers are free to ignore the speed limits and open the cars up as much as they are willing to. The roads aren't shut down for regular traffic, either, and things can be dangerous.
