1989 V12 Roadster All Original Garage Find ( Found In My Garage! ) Low Miles on 2040-cars
Lincolnwood, Illinois, United States
|
I bought this car in 1992 to use as a summer second car. I drove it on nice days until about 1996 when the company I worked for sent me to the east coast for " about six months". Six months turned into nearly three years of almost constant work. When I finally left them and got back to Chicago life got in the way for several more years; all the while the car was stored in a private storage facility in Chicago where it was started regularly. Then 10 years ago last month I moved it to my house/garage located right outside Chicago. It has been there ever since, raised up slightly to take the weight off the wheels and axles. It has not been started in ten years. I have been saving it as a fun car to drive again but I am moving back into the city and can no longer store it, so it has to go.
I hooked it up to my truck battery and everything works (power antenna got a little bent but works). The motor turns over with the starter but I have not tried to start it, and I will not attempt to so please don't ask.To eliminate the risk of damage I think that at the very least the gas tank and fuel injection needs to cleaned, and lubrication forced in the top end. I am selling this as a non running project vehicle with clear Illinois title in my name. Only 31,690 true miles. I believe I am the second owner and that it has never been in the snow since new. In fact I can only remember getting caught with it in the rain twice. Very clean rust-free body. The top and interior are very nice, no tears or sun fade. It has a very nice Nardi wood steering wheel. The wheels are in great shape. Pirelli P600 tires are in great shape condition-wise and hold air well, but they are past the age of use. The paint is original and looks good from 10 feet away. There are numerous light scratches all over the car from storage. Many could be removed or minimized by a good buffing, but some will remain. The chrome has some light pitting, especially the center of the front bumper and grille. I counted about six very small dings around the car. Additionally, there is a small dent in the lower right front fender panel panel right behind the front wheel, and there is a crease on that side in the lower rear panel behind the rear wheel (see pic). Lastly, it looks like the driver door lower area has been repainted; I suspect to fix a door ding. Sold as-is with absolutely no warranties or guarantees. I have done my best to accurately describe my car, Should you have any questions or need more pics feel free to ask. Please do so before bidding. If you are local I encourage you to come inspect the car in person. Cash or certified funds cleared before I release car or title. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will do my best to assist, but you must make arrangements and payment. Thanks for looking! |

Jaguar C-X17 Concept teased before Frankfurt
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10, Jaguar is teasing the reveal of a design study to introduce its new advanced vehicle architecture. Dubbed the C-X17, the mysterious concept "illustrates the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand."
While it's not entirely clear what this architecture involves or what type of vehicle the C-X17 may be, this reveal is reminiscent of Jaguar's decision to unveil the C-X16 concept, a hybrid electric sports car, in Frankfurt in 2011. From the looks of the teaser image Jaguar released (click above to enlarge), we're guessing the C-X17 will be something between a low-slung crossover and a sporty wagon. But we won't have to wait too long to find out - Jaguar is streaming the live pre-show reveal to invited guests on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 9.
In addition to the C-X17, Jaguar be showing off the performance-oriented XJR and XFR-S, and, of course, the F-Type convertible. Scroll down for the official press release.
2014 Jaguar XFR-S is the power and the fury
Thu, 29 Nov 2012If there's something wrong about a sedan with a 550-horsepower supercharged V8, we don't want to hear about it. Instead, we want to marvel at the car in person, which is fortuitous because Jaguar has officially unveiled the 2014 XFR-S at the 2012 LA Auto Show. That blown 5.0-liter V8 dishes up a full 502 pound-feet of torque, which is good enough to shuttle the four-door to 60 mph in a scant 4.4 seconds. And, thanks to a start stop system and a few other fuel-saving tricks, the 2014 XFR-S gets away without being hit by the gas guzzler tax.
That's all good news, but we're just as excited about the fact that engineers managed to crank up the vehicle's chassis stiffness by a ludicrous 30 percent. Stiffer dampers and springs also give the car a little more poise, and a wide-open exhaust lets the whole world know you're kicking down their door. You know, in case the electric blue paint and wild body work didn't tip your hand. Check out the full gallery above for a closer look.
40th Jaguar E-Type ever made sells at auction for lb88k
Wed, 30 Oct 2013The 40th Jaguar E-Type ever built, a right-hand-drive 1961 model, hit the auction block and was bought by an anonymous British buyer for 88,000 pounds ($141,310), ITV reports. The Jaguar had been stored at the previous owner's estate, in dry storage, at a derelict farm in Le Mans, France since July 1974.
E-Type chassis No. 860040 was bought by the previous owner in 1969 and was originally gray. But it was driven home to France and painted it in its current aubergine in 1974, before it was put into storage. During that time it was considered missing by experts, but there it sat under a dust sheet car cover for most of its life, so the body is in good condition. The family mechanic said that the car was last started about five years ago, and the engine recently was turned over. Coys auction house describes the original interior, which is also preserved well, as a "time warp."
Chris Routledge of Coys before the auction said, "They're sort of a mythical beast for enthusiast, at the time they were all handmade on special order, so Jaguar collectors look at the first 100 cars in a different way," BBC News reports. He added, "We estimate it to be worth between 20,000 and 40,000 pounds (about $32,100 to $64,200) but our feedback from collectors and interest worldwide suggests it could sell for between 80,000 and 100,000 pounds (about $128,500 to $160,600)." Of course, his revised estimate was right on target.
