1967 Jaguar Xke 4.2l Series 1, 4-speed, Mostly Original, Matching Numbers on 2040-cars
New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is an awesome mostly original MATCHING NUMBERS, 1967 Jaguar XKE/E-type 2+2, 4-SPEED that is extremely desirable. These are going through the roof at auctions recently. More so that it is a great running, straight body, rust-free driver. The only thing that it needs apologies for is the leather interior and the headliner. These E-types are certainly getting rare, especially the Series I. This had been privately owned for about 23 years. Comes with a file of about $15,000 in receipts and restoration (most of restoration was done by previous owner). Essential work was done at a qualified local antique Jaguar dealer. The paint was done about 10 years ago and is in great shape. I believe it is the original color. All the essential upgrades have already been done. Steel brake lines. Upgraded cooling system that almost all of these have and need. Original wheels, including the spare! Most of the interior switches work (at least the essential ones: wipers, interior lights, headlights, brake lights, reverse lights). The tachometer works, but the speedometer/odometer does not. Right turn signal does not work. All glass is crystal clear. Brakes work great and it stops very quickly. Shifts smoothly without any grinding of gears. Starts right up. Would not hesitate to take on road trip today. Tires have great tread. Does not have air-conditioning or a radio (would be an easy install). The original heater is not installed, but it comes with the car as well as 2 boxes of spare parts.
I just had this to the Import car show in Carlisle, PA and it was the only Series I there and it was definitely a show stopper. I couldn't get good pictures from underneath the car, but it is well sorted out with no rust (the body was beautifully restored). This car would look even more fantastic with the chrome being sent out and polished up, which isn't a big deal. Only reason I am selling it is that due to some family changes it would probably be sitting in the garage most of the time. These need to be driven. Overall, this is a great running very desirable 4-speed, matching numbers, straight body E-type that could be driven anywhere safely right now. Besides a few odds and ends that need tidied up it has everything to drive safely and to enjoy today. The interior leather is the biggest lacking thing on this car (kits are available online to replace it). All of the expensive upgrades have been done. Apparently, the value of these E-types is going up because Jaguar just released the new F-type. $2,000 is due within 24 hours of end of auction and the rest of the balance is due within 7 days by cashiers check/bank check or cash. I will work with buyer to ship the car as needed, I am flexible. I reserve right to end auction early. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. There are probably things that I am leaving out and am sure as I post this add there will be things I forgot. I will update add as needed, but I believe I have described the car accurately and tried to take good pictures. Thanks |

Jaguar sends off XK with limited-run Final 50 edition
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The Jaguar XK coupe and convertible are pointed at the production sunset, and the cars that will end their retail lives in the US will be the dubbed the XK Final Fifty Limited Edition. As the name implies there will be fifty of them made, 25 of the fixed-roof variety, 25 of the droptop.
As the name doesn't imply, however, they'll be based on the XKR and be injected with liberal doses of XKR-S and XKR-S GT: the 510-horsepower V8 from the XKR will be mated to normally optional items like the Dynamic and Performance Packs, machined front suspension components from the XKR-S and a 10-millimeter lower ride height, the louvered hood from the XKR-S GT and Vortex 20-inch forged wheels. The sheetmetal gets a bath in Ultimate Black paint "with special trim" and badged door sill plates. Convertibles will come black roofs, but the Performance Active Exhaust will keep you apprised of the 5.0-liter V8 bellows no matter which car you choose.
They'll go into production this summer and hit dealerships in the fall. There's a lengthy press release below with more info on how this cat will sing its swan song.
2016 Jaguar F-Type debuts available manual transmission, AWD
Wed, 19 Nov 2014If you're like us, you fell in the deepest, darkest sort of love with Jaguar's F-Type the moment its voluptuous form first surfaced. The car's full-bodied engine specs only furthered our ardor, and the droptop Jag sealed the deal before we even turned a wheel - all it took was hearing its engine bark to life.
And yet, even after driving the original convertible and the subsequent coupe, we've never quite shaken the notion that Jaguar erred a bit too heavily on the Grand Touring side of the equation for a proper sports car. That's partially because even the base model comes with a boatload of weight-adding luxury features. But perhaps more importantly, it's because the F-Type has only been available with an automatic transmission. Admittedly, the gearbox in question is a damned good paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF unit, but it's always chafed a bit that Jaguar wasn't committed to offering purists a manual - even if such a model would never be a high-volume proposition.
Apparently we weren't the only ones bothered by three-pedal omission. According to Russ Varney, F-Type Vehicle Program Director,
2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Editor'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.
