See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:""Ding on front left quarter panel, soft top repair. Most of the rubber seals are in great shape. Some wind sound at very high speed (70-90 lol).""

Relisted as eBay had a glitch they could not fix.

 

Nice condition.  I drive it anywhere without concern.  Fast, great highway car (other than speeding tickets).  See picture of ding on front left quarter panel (tree branch) a ding repair place said it was repairable for $150, and note the repair on roof top (same branch).  Rubber for around the door handle should also be note (I bought replacements but have not had time to have them installed. And , I bought a new headliner as I did not like the way the headliner laid, so if you decide to replace the top (totally unnecessary) you can have the new headliner installed.

Never in an accident.  The navigation cd is an online download and not to be considered original equipment.. it works and came with the car.

This car has just had the hydraulic hose replaced ($2500) which they all eventually need as the original hoses were a terrible problem and embarrassment for Jaguar.  Jaguar did nothing about it and left it to owners to fix out of warranty.  I had the newest, best upgraded hoses installed.  You will not experience the "green shower" of hydraulic fluid as noted by Google searches.  Also, I bought a new headliner, just never had it installed, and I bought the rubber that goes around the door handles, also never had them installed.

 

The car is in good maintain.  You will drive away trouble free. I've disclosed all that I know about the car. You will be pleased.

I'm selling it because I am going to buy a new convertible.

It's a thumbs-up head turner.  The color is a real draw.

Call with any questions or test drive.  847.910.1600

Glad to pick you up at the airport, O'Hare. 

Glad that you have an inspector check car over before you bid.

Jaguar could morph into an electric-only brand and explore new segments

Fri, Aug 21 2020

Jaguar is set to morph into an electric-only brand whose products will be aimed directly at Tesla's and Polestar's, according to a recent report. Its future range will allegedly include alternatives to the Tesla Model 3 and the Polestar 2. Nick Rogers, the head of Jaguar-Land Rover's engineering department, told British magazine Auto Express that a small electric Jaguar "would be great." His definition of small is different than, say, Smart's; don't expect the company to release an alternative to the ForTwo, or something along the lines of a Renault Twizy. Instead, he's likely referring to a model positioned below the XE, which is currently the smallest Jaguar, in terms of size. If approved, the car will be about the same size as a BMW 1 Series, though it might sit a little bit taller. Adding a few inches of ground clearance would give engineers more space to stuff a battery pack under the floor, while allowing its marketing department to reach a wider audience by presenting the hatchback as a crossover. "We need to think about that. That's a really cool space that we ideally want to be in, and ideally our customers want us to be in. It's extremely relevant at this time," he said. This isn't the first time we've heard that Jaguar is starting to think small. In June 2020, we reported the company is considering replacing the aforementioned XE and the XF with a single compact model that would almost certainly be offered as a hatchback and as a sedan. Jaguar's transformation into an electric-only manufacturer is allegedly the brainchild of Thierry Bollore, who will take the firm's reins in September. He recently led Paris-based Renault, which is also allocating huge resources to electrification. We know the next-generation XJ (shown in spy shots taken far north of the Arctic Circle) will be offered with an electric powertrain (though internal combustion variants will be available, too), and Auto Express learned an XE-sized battery-powered model placed in the Model 3's segment is very likely, too. Finally, at least for now, an electric SUV tentatively called J-Pace will reportedly enter production in the coming years. It's too early to tell what the future holds for the E-Pace, the F-Pace, and the XF, though we wouldn't be surprised if the latter does not get a replacement. Where the F-Type would fit in an electric-only range hasn't been decided yet; sealing its fate one way or another will be one of Bollore's first tasks.

V12-powered Jaguar E-Type Series 3 the restomod treatment from UK firm

Thu, Jul 1 2021

As Jaguar tries to figure out its future, a growing number of aftermarket companies are reinventing its past. British restoration shop E-Type UK is the latest company to announce a restomod program for the popular sports car released in 1961. It's working with later Series 3 models, which is a little unusual, and it leaves no part untouched. E-Type UK starts every Unleashed project with a donor car; it doesn't build an E-Type from scratch. After strengthening the basic platform, it bores out the V12's cylinders to increase its displacement to 6.1 liters, 800 cubic centimeters more than stock. Additional modifications, like an electronic fuel-injection system and a free-flowing exhaust system, boost the engine's output to 400 horsepower, and a five-speed manual transmission sends the cavalry to the rear wheels. Four-piston front brake calipers ensure the Unleashed stops as well as it goes. With the engine finished and tuned, E-Type UK turns its attention to the chassis. It fits the E-Type with technology the original model could only dream of, like fully adjustable shock absorbers. Wire wheels are standard equipment, they fit the car's sleek profile well, but their diameter increases slightly to 16 inches to clear the bigger brakes. Designers restyled the bumpers, the grille, and the exterior emblems, though the changes are relatively subtle, and they added LED headlights to give the E-Type the visibility of a modern car. Inside, the only limit is the thickness of the buyer's wallet. Anything is possible; the options include different types of leather upholstery and various trim options. Heated seats, LED lighting, a push-button ignition, Bluetooth connectivity, and a surround-sound system are among the equipment added by E-Type UK to encourage future owners to drive their Unleashed often. All told, each build requires at least 4,000 hours of labor, which partially explains why pricing starts at GBP325,000 (around $447,600 at the current conversion rate) before the cost of a donor car enters the equation. For context, that money could buy you two examples of the Lamborghini Huracan Evo and a garage to keep them in, a small plane, or 447 examples of your favorite $1,000 econobox. And yet, we doubt E-Type UK will have a difficult time finding clients. Restomods are a big trend in the industry, some are even Volvo-based, and they're never cheap.
