This is a 1968 Jaguar E Type Coupe (NOT a 2 + 2), Series 1.5, Old English White with black interior, in dire need of a restoration. It is a one owner car with a sad story. It was placed in secured storage in the late '80s when the owner was temporarily relocated for his work. While away, he fell seriously ill, returned to the States only to discover his car had been stolen. He was determined to find the car. Two years later, a ticket related to the car arrived in the mail which helped him track it to a neighboring county where he found it at a trim shop. He confronted the shop and told them it was his car and he was there to take it back. They didn't give it to him. He left, the police finally got involved. Later he received a call from the police to come get the car and bring a tow truck because most of the windows had been shot out. Still ill, he had the car towed to his brother's house who put the car in the garage, but at some point over the decades it was moved outside and there it sat.
The good news is the car is pretty complete. The shift knob and some windshield trim is missing. All the chrome bumpers are straight and excellent candidates for rechroming. The bonnet has some rust holes but fits really well. The car will need sills and floors and lots of detail welding. Of course, it will need some windows.
This is an ambitious project but it can be restored. After all, they're not making them anymore! And starting with a car like this you know there will be no surprises!
I am the owner of the shop that used to work on this car back in the day when it was beautiful. The owner has asked me to handle the sale of his car. He did confirm that the car had never been wrecked, he did have it painted before it was stolen, and when he got the car back from the theives it looked the same except for the windows. Oh, if he had just had the glass replaced! He said he was really too ill to address it.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. We will certainly assist in helping load it on the flatbed.

Jaguar bringing all-wheel-drive F-Type to LA Auto Show [w/video]
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Jaguar's big splash at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show was showing off the slinky F-Type Coupe; perhaps one of the loveliest car shapes on the road today. This year the company won't have a show-stopping new design to offer, but the news that all-wheel drive is coming to the F-Type range is, nevertheless, pretty spectacular.
Mixed in with news about a technical partnership between Jaguar and the Bloodhound SSC World Land Speed Record program, the British brand announced this morning that it will show the first AWD F-Type Coupe at the 2014 LA show later this month.
Jaguar tells us that the sure-footed cat, in AWD F-Type R Coupe form, will run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, with a limited top speed of 186 mph.
Jaguar C-X75 production run canceled
Tue, 11 Dec 2012"We feel we could make the car work, but looking at the global austerity measures in place now, it seems the wrong time to launch an 800,000-pound to 1 million-pound supercar."
Those words are from Jaguar Global Brand Director Adrian Hallmark, and as true as they may be, it still stings a little bit. After all, we've been looking forward to the Jaguar C-X75 ever since word came from Jolly Olde that it was green-lit for a short production run.
Some of the cool bits and pieces the world will now be without: a powerful but relatively miserly 1.6-liter turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine, two electric motors driving all four wheels and a carbon fiber chassis developed by Williams F1. Sigh.
Jaguar wants to make real-life driving just like a video game
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover is on a bit of a tech bent today. It's announced its new family of four-cylinder engines and a "self-learning" vehicle Range Rover prototype, and now it's announced what it calls the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen.
The technology is similar to other head-up displays and telematics recorders already on the market, the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen concept takes things to the next level to turn real-life driving into a video game-like experience. It's being demonstrated with data like lap times, grid positions, virtual racing line and brake guidance... even "ghost" cars from previous laps and virtual cones for simulated autocrossing. Just like you'd find in the latest version of Forza or Gran Turismo, but you know... in an actual car - in this case a Jaguar F-Type. It's similar to the Transparent Bonnet system Land Rover revealed a couple of months ago, but instead of rock-crawling, it's for the race track.
The system also incorporates gesture controls and could be configured to display instrument data, a video feed from a rear-view camera to replace the mirror. Check out the details and the video below for a closer look at what JLR has got in store for the near future.
