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.

Jay Leno's Garage drives Steve McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS
Tue, 27 May 2014Steve McQueen might be the coolest American male of the 20th century. With movies like Bullitt and Le Mans, McQueen established himself as the king of cool of his era, and on the list of actors you would pick for a fantasy racing team - he or Paul Newman are the natural first choices. The latest Jay Leno's Garage video highlights one of McQueen's most special cars - a 1956 Jaguar XKSS.
Just 16 XKSS models were made because a fire at the Jaguar factory halted production. It was meant to be a street version of the company's very successful D-Type racer, with a modified version of its 3.4-liter straight-six-engine and a four-speed manual gearbox. McQueen clearly had an eye for great vehicles. He drove his Jag around Los Angeles years after it was a cutting-edge piece of technology. Since then, it became part of the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA. Autoblog's The List even took a ride in it when the show visited the museum.
The XKSS is one of the pinnacles of automotive design of the '50s, and its association with McQueen makes this example even more extraordinary. Leno is in love with the car from the moment he sees it, and it's hard to argue with him. Between its emphasized curves and raspy exhaust, this is one sexy Jag. Scroll down to get an eyeful and earful from one of McQueen's favorite cars.
Chinese patent filing shows what could be next Royal Limo from Jaguar
Fri, 10 May 2013Someone filed a patent application in China for the Jaguar XJ limousine seen above, but no one's sure who filed it or what the car is for. One camp thinks it's a State limo for UK royals like the Bentley State Limousine, another camp thinks it's the work of aftermarket coachbuilders.
One thing's for sure: Assuming it ever gets made, anyone who buys it wants an XJ in name only; the modifications have removed almost all of the grace of the standard sedan. Estimated to be more than three feet longer than an XJ, the stretched rear doors are backed by an even more stretched rear section that, in losing the trademark XJ C-pillar (the D-pillar on this car), adds all sorts of ungainliness to its backside. What's more, the roof rises from front to rear, we can only assume to make room for people with large hats. Or the NBA player that the Chinese call "Sweet Melon."
Head over to AutoSohu for more photos from the application, if you're sure that's what you really want.
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.
