1971 Jaguar Xke V12 Series Iii 2+2 on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
I used the vehicle as a daily driver from 2002-2006 when it was parked for mechanical rework that was not completed. It has a 5.3 liter V12 with matching numbers to the chassis. The engine can be started with all cylinders operating but does not run well (it appears to have intake vacuum leaks).
Beyond it's incredible appearance and performance when operating, this classic vehicle was famous for some highly unreliable sub-systems such as electrical, carburation, brakes, fluid leaks, overheating, and general mechanical. In an attempt to remedy much of that, this vehicle has had extensive mechanical modifications aimed at improving its performance and reliability. These modifications include such items as hardened steel fine-threaded inserts (Keencerts) in almost all of the engine's threaded holes mated with stainless steel and alloy socket-head cap bolts. It has been retrofitted with custom intake manifolds accommodating quad Weber 2bbl side draft carburetors and custom built exhaust headers to side pipes. The engine compartment wiring and charging system have been entirely reworked along with the cooling system (added oil cooler), redone cylinder heads with new valves, timing chain and camshafts, redone front and rear suspensions, a new optical ignition system, a totally redesigned Cadillac power braking system, and a high performance fuel delivery system. The drive train was fully functional when the car was last driven. With the exception of these engine modifications, the car is largely original. Actual mileage is unknown as it was run with a disconnected speedometer so the 85k miles showing is not accurate. There are quite a few spare parts that are included with the car. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I'll be happy to help make the arrangements. If interested, don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions you may have. |

Jaguar builds F-Type to support Tour de France team [w/video]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014The Tour de France is typically a two-wheeled affair, dominated by cyclists yearning to capture the prestigious yellow jersey. While the 2014 event winds its way through Europe, Stage 20 will see an altogether different conveyance wind along the route between Bergerac and Périgueux - the Jaguar F-Type Coupe.
As part of its partnership with the British cyclists of Team Sky, Jag has enlisted its new Special Operations division to build a one-off F-Type Coupe, based on the 550-horsepower, supercharged R model.
SpecOps has removed the rear glass and come up with a creative solution to mount a pair of Team Sky's racing cycles in the back. Aside from that upgrade, the cabin boasts new upholstery in the colors of Team Sky's traditional livery. A separate power supply has been established below the bikes in what's left of the trunk, which provides juice for a set of radios and microphones, so that the team's director can communicate with the riders.
Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
Jaguar readying a pop-top F-Type Coupe? [w/poll]
Mon, 17 Feb 2014Typically convertibles are spun off of coupes, but sometimes it goes the other way. Like the Porsche Cayman that was based on the Boxster, the Lotus Exige spun off of the Elise, and the Jaguar F-Type, which arrived as a roadster before the coupe debuted. But if the latest reports are to be believed, Jaguar could be planning something in between.
According to Auto Express (which has, mind you, been known to stretch the rumors out some), Jaguar is toying with the idea of offering a partial convertible version of the F-Type - something Porsche would call a Targa (and which we would too if Stuttgart weren't so litigiously protective of the name). The additional roof configuration would give the F-Type three body-styles, giving its customers more choices.
It wouldn't be the only sports car to offer three roof options: There's the Porsche 911, of course. Ferrari once offered GTB, GTS and Spider versions of the 348 and 355. The Chevy Corvette has been offered in all three forms, as was the Pontiac Solstice many moons ago. But that kind of variety in roof configurations has become scarce. Jaguar's decision reportedly depends on whether it can make the business case or not. Do you think there'd be enough demand for a lift-roof F-Type?
