I BOUGHT THIS ONE OWNER CALIFORNIA CLASSIC IN MARCH 2004. IT HAD BEEN GARAGED IN PALM DESERT AND NOT STARTED FOR THE PREVIOUS 5 YEARS. IT WAS SHIPPED TO TEXAS AND HAS BEEN GARAGED, BUT STARTED AND DRIVEN SINCE. THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS FLUSHED AND THE CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY WITH THE AID OF A NEW BATTERY. THE ENGINE IS STRONG AND THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN UP TO 75 MPH WITH LOTS OF HEAD ROOM LEFT TO EXPLORE. THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN REPLACED: BATTERY, 4 NEW TIRES,NEW RIGHT POWER STEERING HOSE, SHOCK ABSORBER, SPARK PLUGS, FUEL PUMP AND FILTER, NEW OLD STOCK MUFFLER WITH 4 TUNED EXHAUST PIPES, RADIATOR CORE, RADIATOR FAN RELAY. THE FAN RELAY FAILED TO CORRECT AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM, SO THE FANS HAVE BEEN WIRED DIRECTLY TO THE IGNITION SWITCH SO THAT THEY TURN ON IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED. PROBLEM SOLVED. ALSO PURCHASED ON EBAY WERE AN EXTRA SET OF RADIATOR FANS, SET OF FOUR STROMBERG CARBURETORS, A HOSE KIT - ALL OF WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED ALONG WITH A COLLECTION OF ROCK AND BLUES EIGHT TRACK TAPES WHICH CAN BE ENJOYED ON THE SOUND SYSTEM WHICH INCLUDES AM-FM RADIO AS WELL! JOURNEY BACK IN TIME IN THIS GORGEOUS EXAMPLE OF SENSUOUS STYLING WITH A CLASSIC ROCK COLLECTION OF TAPES. I ALSO HAVE TWO SERVICE RECORDS FROM EDMUND'S JAGUAR/ROLLS ROYCE WHICH SHOW THE LOW MILEAGE OF LESS THAN 25,000 WHEN LAST SERVICED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER IN 1998. IT WILL NEED SOME REPLACEMENT OF WINDOW GUIDES, SEALS, AND PERHAPS MORE HOSES. IT COULD BE RESTORED TO SHOW CONDITION IF DESIRED. IT WAS NOT SMOKED IN BY ME, BUT IT MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE LONG AGO PAST. THERE IS NO ODOR, BUT PERHAPS SOME GRIME ON THE SEATS? FOR SERIOUS INQUIRIES, I WILL BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THE CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE TO THE BEST OF MY PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE.

Jaguar lets first outsiders drive new F-Type
Mon, 17 Dec 2012What do you do when you're an automaker with an all-new and brand-defining sports car, one of them with a supercharged V8 cranking out 495 horsepower? You let proven race drivers test them out on track and on the road.
And what do you do if you're Jaguar and you're in that situation? Why, naturally, you make a video of it. That's how we get footage of racers Martin Brundle, Justin Bell and Christian Danner being choppered into the UK's Snetterton track to test the V6-equipped Jaguar F-Type S prototype. Then when they're finished with kerb-lined apexes, they take the V8 S prototype out onto the roads to run it through hedge-lined apexes.
According to one of them, "very fast, very nimble, great engine" is what will soon be headed our way. Check it out in the video below.
Stolen Jaguar E-Type reunited with owner after 46 years
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Barely six months into owning it, Ivan Schneider had his Jaguar E-Type stolen from outside of his Manhattan apartment in 1968. Now, 46 years later, the somewhat beat-up convertible has been recovered just before it was about to be shipped to a new owner in The Netherlands.
US Customs agents at the Port of Los Angeles found the car during a routine check, and they contacted Schneider to arrange returning it to him. When the feds found it, the E-Type was already in a shipping container ready to go to its new owner. The condition is hardly perfect today, including rough paint and a replacement door, but Schneider is ecstatic to get his classic back.
Understandably, the now 82-year-old never thought he would see his droptop Jaguar again. Schneider told the LA Times that he bought the E-Type for $5,000 after winning a case as a lawyer, and it was originally painted gray. Now, he plans to have to have the vintage convertible restored to its former glory in New York.
2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT claws at the driving enthusiast in us
Wed, 27 Mar 2013If you still find yourself coming up a few seconds short per lap in your Jaguar XKR-S, the British automaker has introduced the XKR-S GT - a cat specifically tuned for the racing circuit - at the New York Auto Show.
While Jaguar has left the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 unchanged (550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque), it has tuned and tweaked all the items that really make cars go quicker on the track (e.g. suspension, aerodynamics, contact patches, brakes). A once-over reveals upgraded go-fast goodies including a new ventilated hood, extended wheel arch spats, reworked front end with a bespoke front splitter and canards, a massive rear wing, height-adjustable adaptive dampers, active exhaust, carbon-ceramic brakes and sticky Pirelli Corsa tires. Try as we might, the driver in us can't find anything we not to like about this enthusiast-tuned coupe.
Of course all of the upgraded XK goodness doesn't come easy, or cheap. Jaguar will limit North American sales to just 30 units and price each at $174,000. Learn all the juicy details in the official press release below.
