1970 Jaguar E-Type Roadster 4.2 Litre, Series II
One owner since 8/3/1980
Unmodified engine and body
Engine #: 7R 94459
Interior redone mid-90's (sills and door) in Jaguar Connelly leather; seats were redone immediately after purchase
Engine is immaculate
Detailed very close to original, decals, color etc.
Tires are very good tread w/wire chrome wheels
Repainted five years ago. All of the rubber:body,doors,bonnet were replaced new; there is no rust; there are no dents in the body - after thirty-three years, I should know the car.
Always garaged
Chrome was redone - everywhere, during a near full cosmetic restoration when first purchased
Still has great acceleration
Chrome exhaust and tailpipe
Wood steering wheel
Updated CD player w/five speakers
What's wrong: The "spring latch" that holds up the trunk was not there when bought - simply hold it open or prop it up; a windshield washer bracket in the engine bay was missing - it was only cosmetic (double sided tape on the bottom has held it fine; emergency brake needs adjustment again.
No history on engine or trans issues; a dash and ignition switch needed replacement; alternator; parking brake required adjustment;headlight replaced;brakes redone;minor clutch work; and normal routine maintenance and service.
The "book value" NADA, Haggerty,Kelly BB,Classiccars,Autotraderclassics,Collector CarMarket -all websites,place its value in this grade of "excellent condition", from $48,000 to higher. ((We all get that book value, and auction sales , can be different .................. just like stocks, yet very few of us sell either much beneath book value.) XKE's have approximately doubled in value every ten years. In effect you are driving a "bank account" destined to only increase in value over time similar to collectible art, sports memorabilia etc.)
Was voted best of local shows the two times it was entered.
Time to sell; proceeds needed for investment

Jaguar C-X17 resurfaces in China with gold finish, five-seat cabin [w/video]
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Some concept cars make the rounds of the auto shows and are then retired. But a number of automakers are showing that a fresh coat of paint can go a long way towards rejuvenating a show car and giving it a new lease on life - at least as far as the auto show circuit is concerned. Lexus did that recently with the LF-LC concept, initially unveiling it in red at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, then repainting it a dark shade of blue for the subsequent shows in Australia and LA. Mini did the same with the Rocketman concept. And now Jaguar has done it again with its C-X17.
Initially unveiled in electric blue at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Jaguar then rolled the crossover out again in liquid silver for the Dubai Motor Show earlier this month. Now the concept is back again at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China with a fresh coat of rose gold.
Looking decidedly more luxurious than the previous iterations, this gilded C-X17 concept also bears another change: while the previous versions featured a four-seat cabin, this one has been redone with a more conventional five-seat configuration that more buyers would likely go for. It's also got a new interactive infotainment system and another system that warns passengers of pedestrians or cyclists approaching from the rear before they open the door. Check it out in the high-res image gallery above and the video clip below for a closer look.
Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
Jaguar XK to cease production this summer
Mon, 10 Mar 2014With the introduction of the F-Type coupe and convertible, Jaguar has cleared room in its sports car lineup to drop the XK for new models. "There will be a 2015 model year XK, but the rumors are true, production for the XK will end later this year after eight years," said Wayne York Kung, Jaguar USA National Product Communications Manager, in an email to Autoblog. A replacement for the GT might be a very long way off.
The automaker told Auto Express that it's part of a "wider strategic vision and product planning cycle." Ending assembly will allow the feline luxury brand to build better-selling vehicles like the XE, its upcoming BMW 3 Series fighter. The new sedan is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2015 and in the US in 2016. It also needs to make room for the C-X17 crossover to be built, which is likely expected to sell better than a 2+2 GT car.
"There are no immediate plans to replace the XK," said Kung in his email. Jag was rumored to be considering moving a future generation of it upmarket. The new model would have been a bigger, softer grand tourer and allow the F-Type to be the brand's more hardcore sports car.
