1969 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Johnstown, New York, United States
If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: baobaaustino@artsociety.net . Up for sale is this beautiful, one owner, 1969 Jaguar XKE 4.2 roadster. I am not a dealer, I am a family friend
of the original owner and I'm assisting her in selling her beloved Jaguar. The car was purchased new from
Harrington Motors in Montgomery New York in 1969. It has always been garaged and for the most part is all original.
It currently has 45,xxx original miles on it's all original, numbers matching drive train. The interior is all
original from its black leather seats to it's mahogany steering wheel to its original Jaguar rubber floor mats.
Some scuffs on the leather seats are present, the pad on the center console is a little worn and the clock in the
dash does not work, the rear view mirror is cracked. The wood on the steering wheel is cracked but could be easily
repaired.
The exterior of the car is in excellent condition for an original, forty-six year old car. The car was
repainted in the 1970's due to a fender bender type accident but the Primrose Yellow paint has held up very well.
It does have some small dings, chips and scuffs as you would expect of a forty year old paint job. One of the
issues with the paint is that some of the trim pieces have traces of the repaint on them. The convertible top is in
excellent condition. The original chrome wire wheels are in great shape with little rust and just a trace of
peeling. The chrome trim is in nice shape.
The original engine runs great. It did have some work done last winter by Klaus Garage in Hopewell Junction New
York (see pics for repair invoice). The carburetors were rebuilt, the gas tank was replaced, clutch slave cylinder,
new battery, brake fluid reservoir, brake master and servo unit, fuel pump, basic tune-up etc work along with a
passed New York State inspection. The car runs great, This past May, the car was driven fifty plus miles from my
house in Hopewell Junction NY to the Royals Car Show at Lime Rock Racetrack in CT without a problem.

The Jaguar E-Type Lightweight is back on the prowl after a few decades away
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Sometimes procrastination has its benefits. Jaguar originally planned to build a run of 18 E-Type Lightweights for racing in the '60s. However, it was only ever to complete 12 of them. It has taken all of the intervening decades to finally get back to the project and build the final run of new Lightweights. While Jag announced the plan recently, the first continuation model was unveiled during the Pebble Beach weekend.
Coming from Jaguar Land Rover's Special Operations unit, these cars are identical to the way they left the factory in the '60s. Jag is even using the same grade of aluminum for the bodies, and the cars are fully compliant for FIA historic racing. Power comes from an aluminum, 3.8-liter inline-six with about 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque routed through a four-speed manual gearbox. Who could guess that in 2014 someone could buy a brand new vehicle from a major manufacturer that comes with Weber carbs? Though, Lucas mechanical fuel injection is an option.
While they look old, these new E-types are also a wonder of modern technology. To get things just right, the company laser scanned an original car to create the new bodies. Check out the gallery from the unveiling to see this old cat on the prowl again.
Jaguar planning two bodystyles for next XJ
Wed, 17 Apr 2013As we alluded to in today's F-Type first drive, Jaguar hasn't been selling its wares in China for very long, and as a result, buyers there usually don't have the same appreciation for the brand's history. So you might reasonably think that the company's recent radical styling shift (kicked off by the 2008 XF) wouldn't be as jarring to the nation's buying populace since they really didn't have the automaker's more traditionally styled models from years past to compare them against.
Yet while Jaguar and its sister marque, Land Rover, continue to pick up steam in China's developing market, that apparently isn't necessarily the case. Local buyers there tend to have more conservative tastes when it comes to styling, preferring more upright dimensions, big back seats and larger quantities of traditional luxury materials (think: chrome and wood) than other markets currently find desirable. Thus, the very bold current-generation XJ sedan may be leaving some sales on the table.
According to Edmunds, Jag doesn't want to risk that, and as such, it is preparing two bodystyles for the next-generation XJ - one with the rakish coupe-like styling of the current model, and a more "old-school" three-box sedan designed to appeal to a wider swath of Chinese buyers.
2013 Jaguar XFR-S
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Why Ask Questions When You Already Know The Answer?
"Is it fast?"
We get that question a lot. Several times a month, in fact, and it comes from every corner of our lives - friends, family, complete strangers and even colleagues from time to time. And it's an understandable query. After all, speed, either in a straight line or around a twisty bit of tarmac, is a universally accepted line of demarcation between the typical family sedan and something much more fun and therefore desirable.
