1974 Jaguar E-type E-type on 2040-cars
Brush Creek, Tennessee, United States
Available here is a 1974 Jaguar XKE V-12 roadster. It is an excellent vehicle that drives out as well as it shows.
A very flashy color combination, along with the smooth power of the V-12 and 4-speed transmission, makes this
Jaguar a pleasure to drive. BODY: Bright red exterior paint that is in wonderful condition. The car was purchased
out of the southern California area where I believe the car was painted. Estimated that the car was painted about
15 years ago but that is unknown. The chrome and trim is in excellent condition and shows well. Lights, glass, and
rear window are all in very nice shape. The body is very solid, there is no rust that I am aware of on the car.
Also, no known accidents. With all this being said, this is NOT a 100 point car. The restoration was believed to be
15-20 years ago but is undocumented, therefore I do not know the age of all areas of the car. There is some wear on
the car in certain areas. I've tried to show all those areas in the pictures I have. Several additional pictures
that I can send to you. INTERIOR: Beautiful tan interior in the car. Seats are very nice and do not sag. Carpets
are in good shape and fit well. Gauges all work and the dash is in excellent condition. Very nice convertible top
on the car with a solid and clear plastic window. Car has spare tire, tools, jack,hammer for knock offs. Once again I have several detailed pictures I can send you. This is a very nice driving car with the desirable 4-speed. Engine pulls strong and runs out well. The clutch feels great and
transmission shifts up and down with ease as it should. There is an updated ignition box that was installed by
previous owner. Makes the car very reliable. Headers through the exhaust is solid and sounds wonderful. I have never had any overheating issues with the car.
Overall, it performs very well and is a blast to drive. SUSPENSION/BRAKES: Car handles as it should and brakes work
great. Power steering works and the car drives straight down the road. There is some mild squeaking in the brakes
that happens occasionally. Overall this is a great car and excellent to drive to shows or just around town. There
are about $20k in receipts that come with the car from miscellaneous maintenance and restoration work completed by
previous owner

Dick Van Dyke escapes his flaming Jaguar on the 101
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Actor Dick Van Dyke was caught in a dangerous situation on a Los Angeles highway (who are we kidding, every situation on an LA highway is dangerous), when his Jaguar XJ spontaneously caught fire. The 87-year-old actor/comedian pulled to the side and attempted to call emergency services when another motorist pulled him from the car. There seems to be some confusion as to whether Van Dyke was passed out or merely calling emergency services.
According to the photos and video from NBC and The Today Show, the car was thoroughly cooked in the blaze and is now a total loss. After the incident, Van Dyke's wife, Arlene, posted that the actor was "fine," sharing a Vine video of the star, the car, and a few CHP troopers that were on hand. Later in the day, Van Dyke tweeted a photo of his toasted sedan, saying, "Used Jag for sale REAL CHEAP!!"
You can view the Today show segment on the incident as well as Arlene Van Dyke's Vine video, below.
Petrolicious profiles one of the final Jaguar E-Types
Wed, 10 Apr 2013There's no question that David Paddison has got a very lovely 1974 Jaguar E-Type convertible. The rubber bumpers of this late E-Type may distract ever so slightly from the purity of the lines, but that doesn't mean we're still not completely jealous of the latest Petrolicious subject car.
As usual, the team of vintage car videographers has done a fine job capturing a small moment of gear-headness with this latest installment - The Last of the Breed. We do wonder why we don't get to hear a little bit more of that famed Jaguar V12 rumble, however. There's just a whiff of engine and exhaust sound in the middle of the video, while the rest of the piece sounds like it was scored by Amy Grant's rhythm guitarist. See for yourself, below.
Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl ad to feature F-Type Coupe
Sun, 10 Nov 2013Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.
