The Jaguar E Type is one of those few cars that can be described as "timeless". It is still as stunning a design as it was when it first appeared in the early 1960s. This 1966 roadster was purchased from the original owner in late 1966 by the current owner's father. The car underwent a total restoration in the late 1990s and has been driven less than 1400 miles since. However, it has been impeccably maintained and garage kept since. During the restoration, a small amount of rust was found in the driver's floor, so it was replaced.
The tires are excellent, the battery is new and the carburetors and fuel pump have recently been rebuilt with kits to allow for use with today's ethanol gasoline. The exhaust system is stainless as are the wire wheels. .Included with the car are the original tools shown, as well as the original owner's manual, shop manual and other dealer's paperwork shown in the photos.
The car is located near Birmingham, Al, and if you want to fly in to view or drive the car, we will arrange to pick you up at the airport, take you to see the car and then return you to the airport. Please look at the photos and video : ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUAbrO0CKi0&feature=youtube_gdata ) carefully and ask any questions before bidding. Since the car is a 47 year old British sports car, it is sold as is, where is. The owner feels that he is not currently able to enjoy the car as much as he would like and believes that someone else might be able to give the car the attention it deserves.
Alabama did not issue titles prior to 1976, (http://www.alabama.gov/sliverheader/Welcome.do?url=http://ador.alabama.gov/motorvehicle/Title_FAQ.html) so the car will be sold with a bill of sale only. We can provide a certified letter from the state saying that no title exists for the car. We can arrange shipping, including delivery of the car to a port city for overseas sales.
The prices on these beautiful cars are trending upward again, so it is likely an excellent time to invest. Here is a link to Hagerty Insurance price guide to give you an overview of recent values: http://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch/Report?vc=862612

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.
Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine
Sat, 08 Feb 2014European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."

Jaguar F-Type Project 7 takes the D-Type to the 21st Century
Sat, 16 Aug 2014One of the many big name debuts during the 2014 Monterey car week is this, the Jaguar F-Type Project 7, a stunning roadster inspired by Jaguar's legendary, finned D-Type sports car.
The Project 7 expands on the already appealing F-Type Convertible formula, further boosting the Jaguar Land Rover 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 to its most potent form yet - 575 horsepower - making this the most powerful production Jag in history. So equipped, the Project 7 is more cheetah than jaguar, roaring to 60 miles per hour in a rapid 3.8 seconds before reaching its electronically limited peak speed of 186 miles per hour.
Prices for the F-Type Project 7 start at $165,000, with customer deliveries slated begin in spring of 2015.
