1963 JAGUAR E-TYPE XKE 3.8 LITER SERIES ONE FIXED HEAD COUPE
KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS offers for sale a very decent Jaguar E-type for restoration. This car has lived most or all of its life in the Western part of the United States. It appears to have left the factory in the very desirable color scheme of Golden Sand or Bronze with a beige or light tan interior color - very attractive and elegant for an early coupe. The car is a great restoration project having a very solid monocoque bodyshell with only minimal rust. The main floors are very solid and rustfree and with the original sheetmetal, as seen by the photos. There is some rust-through on the trunk floor underneath, just under the spare tire supports (photo), and very little around the rear wheel well edge where it ties in to the trunk. The rockers appears very solid, with only some bubbling starting on the lower RH rear (photo). There is some localized rust-through on the RH wheel arch. The battery area needs a minor repair. The rest of the monocoque looks excellent, solid, and original with no welding ever been carried out on it. There appears to be a some body repair in the past, just ahead of the LH door. Overall, this bodyshell should require only minimal work in repairs before it is sent to the bodyshop. The car is currently fitted with a correct 3.8 E-type transmission mated to a later 4.2 liter engine (#7E5335-8). The car is missing some parts that are available new or used. The car was partially disassembled in the past and those parts were carefully boxed. There are several boxes of lots of components that are original to the car. Everything I have for the car is pictured and now carefully boxed up to include with the car. Please look at those photos in detail, as everything will be included with the sale of the car. Large items that are missing are the complete bonnet assembly with supporting subframe, triple carburetor setup with manifold and air cleaner, radiator, front and rear windshield with chrome trim, rear taillights and bumpers, RH sheetmetal door skin (the rest of the door is there), radio console, and maybe some small engine bay and chrome trim items. Please look at the photos in detail to see what is included. The car still retains it's original data plate and is sold with a clear and current CA title. Overall, this car presents a good opportunity to secure a hugely desirable Jaguar E-type 3.8 Liter Fixed Head Coupe, for sensible entry-level money. Over time, one can source the missing items for the restoration. The final result will prove to be a very rewarding and worthwhile endeavor, as these cars continue to escalate in price and become great investments. This car can be viewed in Southern California. Please note that I reserve the right to end this offering at any time, as it is also being advertised elsewhere. $21,500. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. 909-920-9221, work. 909-241-1051, cell. |

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.
Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index
Sun, 06 Jul 2014A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.
Jaguar F-Type US order guide loose online
Fri, 08 Feb 2013
An alleged US order guide for the 2014 Jaguar F-Type has made its way online courtesy of the good people at F-TypeClub.com, documenting everything from wheel color options to special equipment packages. From the looks of things, buyers will be able to choose from a total of eight wheel designs in sizes ranging from 18 inches on the base model all the way up to 20 inches. While most of those rollers are available in either silver or black finishes, the 20-inch blade-style wheels are not only forged, but come with carbon-fiber trim. Fancy.
Depending on trim, F-Type buyers will get to choose between two types of seat, including a set of performance-style 14-way power adjustable thrones, complete with seat belts in black, red or tan. Other fun tricks include available power folding side view mirrors and a 770-watt, 14-speaker Meridian sound system.
