1969 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Frostburg, Pennsylvania, United States
For sale is a 1969 Jaguar E type 4.2L Series II Coupe. The car runs and drives great. Mechanically it is original,
with just under 54,000 miles on it. The paint is an older custom gold color, but still shines well.
Over the past 5 years a good bit of work has been done to it. This includes front and rear rebuilt calipers, new
brake hoses, pads, parking brake pads, rotors, ball joints, tie rod ends, differential mounts, exhaust and all
exhaust mountings, new stainless steel heater pipes, all new water hoses, new water pump, both brake masters and
clutch master cylinders rebuilt, as well as new rack mounts and boots. For the interior a new carpet kit was
installed along with new door and side panels, door caps, and sill covers.
Overall the car is mostly complete, but is missing a few pieces. There are various chrome strips for the doors that
are missing, as well as all the chrome strips for the trunk boards, which also still need to be reupholstered. The
air conditioning does not work, as the compressor and dryer are not installed, but included is a used original
compressor that the owner purchased. While the transmission shifts fine, there is some audible gear/bearing noise.
The starter may need replaced eventually as it occasionally has trouble turning the engine over. The passenger side
door needs adjusted and has a broken latch. The car looks fairly solid underneath. There doesn't seem to be any
apparent rust issues. The front frame looks to be straight.

Jaguar rolls out 2014 XJ updates
Tue, 20 Aug 2013It may be an uphill battle with Mercedes-Benz having rolled out its all-new S-Class, but in an effort to entice more customers towards its flagship sedan, Jaguar has announced a series of enhancements for the XJ.
A number of upgrades aim to make the long-wheelbase model that much more accommodating, with new airline-style rear seats that recline, massage and optimize the headroom in the back. The rear suspension has also been recalibrated for comfort, and there's a new optional Meridian sound system with a Conversation Assist feature that uses microphones in the headliner to pick up occupants' voices and pipe them through the speakers to support the art of conversation in motion.
The engine range carries over unchanged, but each engine is now mated to an eight-speed automatic with an available stop/start system which Jaguar says takes less time to restart the engine than it takes for the driver to move his or her right foot from brake to gas. Full details in the press release below.
2014 Jaguar XJR unleashed just ahead of New York show [w/video]
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Just a week after teasing us with the first image of the car, and mere hours before revealing it to the public at the New York Auto Show, Jaguar has pulled the wraps off of its 2014 XJR super sedan.
The British automaker has confirmed that the XJR will be kicking out a full 550-horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8, affording the sedan a 0-60 mile per hour sprint of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 174 miles per hour. A ZF eight-speed automatic transmission will still allow for respectable fuel economy, as Jag estimates ratings of 15 miles per gallon city and 23 highway.
Newly tuned dampers and stiffer spring rates, along with an electronically controlled differential should ensure that the massive power of the engine isn't wasted in transition to the road. Jaguar has also tweaked steering software and hydraulics, with the goal of increased road feel, response and overall feedback. 20-inch signature wheels carry wide Pirelli rubber (265-section up front, 295 in back) to keep the XJR planted.
Jaguar planning two bodystyles for next XJ
Wed, 17 Apr 2013As we alluded to in today's F-Type first drive, Jaguar hasn't been selling its wares in China for very long, and as a result, buyers there usually don't have the same appreciation for the brand's history. So you might reasonably think that the company's recent radical styling shift (kicked off by the 2008 XF) wouldn't be as jarring to the nation's buying populace since they really didn't have the automaker's more traditionally styled models from years past to compare them against.
Yet while Jaguar and its sister marque, Land Rover, continue to pick up steam in China's developing market, that apparently isn't necessarily the case. Local buyers there tend to have more conservative tastes when it comes to styling, preferring more upright dimensions, big back seats and larger quantities of traditional luxury materials (think: chrome and wood) than other markets currently find desirable. Thus, the very bold current-generation XJ sedan may be leaving some sales on the table.
According to Edmunds, Jag doesn't want to risk that, and as such, it is preparing two bodystyles for the next-generation XJ - one with the rakish coupe-like styling of the current model, and a more "old-school" three-box sedan designed to appeal to a wider swath of Chinese buyers.
