                         WE ARE ASSISTING WITH THE SALE OF THIS 1970 JAGUAR XKE..............THAT STARTED LIFE AS A 2+2 COUPE WITH A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.
                         IT WAS PURCHASED BY THE CURRENT OWNER 15 YEARS AGO.
DURING THAT TIME HE HAS CONVERTED IT TO A STANDARD SHIFT TRANSMISSION ACCOMPANIED BY AN ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL WITH THE BALANCE OF THE PARTS BEING  ALL JAGUAR, INCLUDING AN E TYPE GEARBOX.

THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT USING ISKY CAMS OVER A FRESH VALVE JOB AND NEW PISTONS, RINGS, BEARINGS, OIL PUMP, ETC AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBURETORS WERE UPGRADE TO TRIPLE 2" SU'S. AND A SET OF FREE FLOW TUBULAR HEADERS WERE INSTALLED

THE REAR END AND REAR BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY REFURBISHED INCLUDING A GEAR CHANGE TO 2:88 WHICH MAKE THIS CAR A GREAT HIGHWAY CRUISER.

HE ALSO ADDED AN ORIGINAL JAGUAR HARDTOP.

THE MAJORITY OF THIS WAS DONE DURING THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP BUT BECAUSE THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN USED DURING THE SHORT SUMMER MONTHS HERE IN NEW ENGLAND IT HAS NOT ACCUMULATED THAT MANY MILES. LAST YEAR IT WAS ONLY USED ABOUT 400 MILES.

THE CAR RUNS REAL STRONG AND IS FAST COMPARED TO A STOCK 1970'S  JAG AS A RESULT OF THE CAMS, CARBURETORS, ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL AND THE REAR END GEAR RATIO.

THE PAINT IS GOOD BUT THERE ARE SOME FLAWS WHICH WE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PICTURES. THERE ARE NO FRONT BUMPERS AND THE REARS COULD USE A RE-PLATE. THE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE DECENT. ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS WORK. THERE IS NO CLOCK. THERE IS A TONNEAU COVER THAT CAN BE FITTED WHEN THE HARD TOP IS REMOVED BUT THERE IS NO CONVERTIBLE TOP OR TOP FRAME. THESE CAN BE HAD ON BAY IF SO DESIRED.

TWO YEARS AGO  HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GEARBOX SO THAT WAS REMOVED AND REBUILT AND A NEW CLUTCH WAS INSTALLED.

IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO START AND IS A BLAST TO DRIVE.

THIS MORPHED JAGUAR IS BEING OFFERED AT A FRACTION OF THE COST TO DO THE ABOVE MENTIONED WORK NOT INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE CAR.

YES IT IS A CONVERTED CAR AND YES IT NEEDS A BIT OF TLC BUT YOU WILL NOT FIND A RUNNING, DRIVING, DECENT LOOKING OPEN E TYPE FOR THIS LOW... LOW PRICE. WE HAVE SOLD CARS THAT NEEDED 10'S OF THOUSAND OF DOLLARS FOR MORE THAN WHAT HIS CAR IS BEING OFFERED FOR.

IT NEEDS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF $$ AND ATTENTION TO BRING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND YOU WILL  STILL BE INTO IT FOR LESS THAN A BEAST THAT NEEDS RESTORATION


WE WILL TRY TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Editor's Note: Our reporter was anxious to get some time behind the wheel of the XF Sportbrake, even though Jaguar only had a very small window available for us to drive it. As a result, we weren't able to capture our usual original images to go with the Quick Spin story. Please accept our regrets, and Jag's lovely stock photography, instead.
The last wagon attempt from Jaguar was the X-Type, built between 2003 and that model line's unceremonious end in 2009. That X-Type and its legacy represent a real dog of a chapter for Jaguar, and for the Halewood factory where the barker was built. It was the final joke told prior to the brand's proper rebirth phase - a phase we're enjoying the heck out of today.
Current magnanimous Jaguar owner Tata can be thanked for this new wagon, the XF Sportbrake. Like all newness coming from Jag these days, this new wagon also feels lightyears more serious an offering, ready to compete squarely with established premium wagon makers across Europe. A Jaguar wagon in America is a far-off priority for the company, frankly. Still we deserve to know what we're missing for the time being from this (sometimes overly) cherished British firm.

2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake is one hot hauler

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Oh look, another super-hot wagon that won't be making its way to the US. Awesome.
Actually, in all honesty, it really is awesome. Meet the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, a red-hot (or blue-hot?) version of the rakish XF wagon that originally bowed at the Geneva Motor Show back in 2012. The formula here is pretty much plug-and-play: take the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XFR-S and shove it in the wagon body, and add all of the necessary visual flair fitting of a properly powerful Jag. The end result is an estate that packs 542 horsepower, 502 pound-feet of torque, and the ability to sprint to 60 miles per hour in a scant 4.6 seconds. Meow.
This Jaguar joins a growing segment of ultra-hot wagons in Europe, rounded out by offerings like the Audi RS6 Avant and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG longroof - the latter of which you can actually buy in North America. Sounds like the sort of comparison test we'd love to facilitate. Guess we'll have to leave that to our friends at Autocar, though.

Jaguar riffs on Super Bowl ad with new F-Type Coupe web short

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Continuing the story of black hearts it began with its first Super Bowl commercial, Jaguar is roaring down the dark and oh-so-magnificently appealing road of villainy with a new spot featuring Tom Hiddleston. Using its new F-Type Coupe to demonstrate, the actor explains the salient features of the best - meaning, English - villains.
However, it's likely that even if you could manage the elegance, the tailored suit, the sharp wit and the distinct sound, you couldn't pull it all off nearly as well as Hiddleston. That doesn't mean you can't try, of course. Might we suggest starting with his excellent lesson in being properly villainous in the video below?
