Jaguar E-type Roadster 1972 V12 Xke Series Iii Convertible on 2040-cars
Ashburn, Virginia, United States
This is a 1972 Jaguar XKE (E-Type) OTS Roadster – Series III Convertible. It is a remarkably beautiful car and turns heads every time it’s outside. This is a low mileage car with about 47K on the odometer. The 1972 model year was the 1st
full production year for the new V12 configuration. I’ve owned this Jaguar for
about 11 years. It has been garage kept
through my ownership and never been in the rain. I seldom drove the car in my 11+ years of
ownership. It is in excellent unrestored
condition with paint being done by the prior owner. There is no rust on the car and the body and undercarriage
is straight with no accidents or damage.
Overall it is an excellent clean original and unrestored example. All numbers matching with original engine, transmission,
and drivetrain. It has original real wire
wheels with knock-off hubs. This
beautiful roadster is an automatic and has factory air conditioning. I have
a clean title for the car. Interior is all original and
unrestored. Leather seats show some wear
however, are in great shape. Carpet and
dash are in excellent condition. Exterior is in great shape as
well. There is no rust on this car. Under bonnet is clean and rust free. Boot is rust free as well. No rust in tire well or rear quarter
areas. Includes wire wheel spare with
original jack, handle, knock-off wrench and hammer. All original boot liners and covers The convertible top is original
and in excellent shape for a 40+ years old!
The top mechanism works perfectly and the top overall looks great. The rear window is a bit yellow however still
provides visibility. The original tonneau
cover is also included and is in perfect condition. I also have the original owner’s
manual and several other books that I will include with the purchase. There is
one original key and I have a blank WASO key that will also be included (no
longer produced). I have some spare parts that I purchased many years ago that
I will also include. I have a clean title
for the car. Car has been tuned by local British car shop; new plugs, points,
rotor, cap, and plugs. Starts and runs
great. The only items that have been
replaced are the battery and starter.
The starter is a new high torque type and works great. I have the original factory starter that will
be included will the car as well. Hagerty's prices this out at $60-70K in current condition...reserve is well below that! Jaguar history In 1971, the Jaguar E-Type
Series III introduced a V12 engine to the model. Jaguar called it the
"Ultimate Cat" and advertised the its inherent smoothness and absence
of engine noise. The small block V12 displaced 5.3 liters and produced 314
horsepower. Along with the new engine, the body entire car was lengthened for
additional cabin space. Along with the longer 105-inch wheelbase, the body had
flared wheel arches, revised bumpers, and a large scoop under the front grill. Inside
the V12 had an entirely new interior with new reclining seats, a center
console, new door panels and a revised steering wheel. The dashboard retained
much of the Series II layout, but included the 2+2 stowage areas above the
floorwells.

Jaguar C-X75 and Aston Martin DB10 spied drifting during Spectre shoot
Fri, Feb 27 2015Based on the cars alone, the 24th James Bond film, Spectre, is set to be one of the biggest and most impressive in the long-lived franchise. While we're stuck waiting until November to see the automotive extravaganza on the big screen, a lucky bystander managed to catch two of the movie's four-wheeled stars filming on the streets of Rome. Italian YouTuber Marchettino, well known for his videos from Ferrari's Fiorano test track, caught the video of the Aston Martin DB10 and Jaguar C-X75 filming in the dark of the Roman night, with the Aston sliding its way around a turn and the Jag giving chase. Not surprisingly, the DB10's Vantage-derived V8 features prominently. This is, of course, not the first time news regarding this chase scene has graced our digital pages. Spectre star Daniel Craig sustained a minor injury in the course of this filming, after the DB10 he was riding in hit a pretty significant pothole. We've also caught 007's Aston filming in the UK.

Jaguar takes evolutionary approach for 2016 XF [w/videos]
Tue, Mar 24 2015One week ahead of its debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show, Jaguar has let loose a slew of images and details on the second-generation 2016 XF Sedan. The release comes alongside a high-profile stunt over London's Canary Wharf. A total of 75 percent of the XF's body is made from aluminum, which trims the big cat's curb weight by 132 pounds on the rear-drive model and 265 pounds on the all-wheel-drive variant. Aside from aiding acceleration, braking and fuel economy, the advanced structure promises an increase in torsional stiffness as well as a 50-50 weight distribution. Beyond that, the new car's dimensions differ only slightly compared to last year's XF. The wheelbase has been stretched by two inches, although the new model is 0.3-inches shorter and 0.1 inches lower. Double wishbones are used in front while an integral-link suspension sits in back with standard traditional dampers and optional adaptive dampers. Jaguar is also promising the Configurable Dynamics system that was pioneered on the F-Type. No surprise here, but an electric power-assisted tiller will be in use, although Jag says it benefits from lessons learned with the XE. Jaguar is mum on its full powertrain lineup, although it does mention that both 340-horsepower and 380-hp versions of Jaguar Land Rover's familiar 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 will be offered, paired with standard eight-speed automatic transmissions (likely the highly regarded ZF autobox). Jaguar's designers, led by design director Ian Callum, didn't rock the boat too much for the new sedan. Clearly inspired by the upcoming XE, the new XF gets a wider, but thinner grille. The headlights are slimmer, but retain a similar shape compared to last year's car, and as is the trend, they're now lined with LED accenting. The S trim, shown above, gets wide, menacing grilles in the front bumper as well as a total lack of chrome trim. The XE influence is most evident on the XF's tail, where the Aston Martin-aping taillights of the first-gen have been ditched, with broader, angled units, complete with an F-Type-inspired LED pattern. As with the current car, a thin chrome strip ties the lights together, while the lower bumper on this sportier model features a gloss black surround for the dual exhausts. Not surprisingly, the XF's profile is pretty classic, with a very long hood and a short deck that terminates in a handsome duckbill spoiler.
Jaguar Land Rover to upgrade Castle Bromwich plant to build EVs
Fri, Jul 5 2019LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover is making a multi-million pound investment to build electric vehicles in Britain, in a major boost for the UK government and a sector hit by the slump in diesel sales and Brexit uncertainty. Britain's biggest car company, which built 30 percent of the UK's 1.5 million cars last year, will make a range of electrified vehicles at its Castle Bromwich plant in central England, beginning with its luxury saloon, the XJ. "The future of mobility is electric and, as a visionary British company, we are committed to making our next generation of zero-emission vehicles in the UK," Chief Executive Ralf Speth said on Friday. The announcement gives a boost to Britain's automotive sector hit this year by Honda and Ford's plans to close factories. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has highlighted the dangers of a no-deal Brexit and the need to maintain frictionless trade with the European Union, echoing warnings from the industry that just-in-time production could be hit by customs delays and additional bureaucracy. But it has signed a deal with workers at the Castle Bromwich factory to go from a five-day to a four-day working week with the same amount of hours which should allow the plant to operate more efficiently. Three of JLR's four European car plants are in Britain, giving it limited capacity elsewhere on the continent. The other, in Slovakia, only opened last year and is still being ramped up with other models allocated there. "We are making this investment because the ongoing Brexit uncertainty has left us with no choice, we had to act, for our employees and our business," JLR said. "We are committed to the UK as our home and will fight to stay here but we need the right deal." Both candidates to replace Prime Minister Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt, have both said they are prepared to take Britain out of the EU on Oct. 31 without a deal, although it is not their preferred option. Brexiteers have argued that the EUÂ’s biggest economy Germany, which exports hundreds of thousands of cars to Britain ever year, would do its utmost to protect that trade Friday's announcement comes after a turbulent few months for Jaguar which announced around 4,500 job cuts earlier in January and posted a 3.66 billion pound ($4.5 billion) loss in 2018/19.
