1966 JAGUAR E-TYPE XKE 4.2 LITER SERIES ONE ROADSTER. PRIMROSE YELLOW WITH BLACK TRIM AND SOFT TOP. 4-SPEED. CHROME WIRE WHEELS. BLACK FACTORY HARDTOP. 19,690 ORIGINAL MILES. TWO OWNERS.
KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS offers for sale, here on Ebay, a 1966 Jaguar E-type Roadster with a believed 19,690 original miles. This car is a stunning discovery just out of a 35-year hibernation. It was purchased last year from the second owner, who purchased the car in April of 1969. It appears to have been delivered new in Oregon. The second owner purchased it in California needing some front end/bonnet repair when it was only three years old. It was subsequently repaired with a new factory bonnet at that time and repainted once again in the original Primrose color. The carpets in the interior were replaced. Over the next several years, it was driven very little. Because of family commitments, it was put into permanent indoor storage in the late 1970's, then later moved to outdoor storage, and resided there until recently (the last photo shows it's discovered resting place). The last registration sticker on the California blue/yellow license plates is from 1979. A California car for just about all of it's life... This correct and full matching numbers car is a well-preserved and original example needing only light restoration. The body exhibits perfect panel fit and gapping all the way around. The body is extremely straight and all of the panels close well. All of the chromework is original and in very decent condition. The factory hardtop has been recently added and is partially restored with a newer headliner. The car still retains most of it's original interior trim and the original softtop. The engine turns, but no attempt has been made to start it. It has perfectly clean oil on the dipstick and full up to the mark. The car would need a recommissioning on it's fuel and braking systems to make it roadworthy. The radiator/cooling fans have been updated to 1968 specification. Overall, this car presents a unique opportunity to purchase a very low-mileage, highly desirable E-type 4.2 Liter Series One Roadster. The new buyer can decide on which route to take on it's restoration. This car could be a good candidate for a light cosmetic restoration, or a perfect donor car for a ground-up, nut-and-bolt, Concours rebuild. In either case, this car probably would not require much in the way of mechanical work. This car is sold with a clear and current California title and a small collection of associated receipts, old registrations, and other paperwork history. It is located in Southern California and can be viewed by appointment. $85,000. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. 909-920-9221, work. 909-241-1051, cell. |

Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
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.
Jaguar XF gets performance-look R-Sport trim
Wed, 26 Feb 2014If you're looking for all the style of a sports sedan but without the added expense of springing for a full-on performance model (and keeping it fed with fuel and fresh tires), most European automakers will gladly hook you up with an all-show, no-go package. BMW has its M-Sport aero kits, Audi its S-Line, and Mercedes its AMG Sport packs. And now Jaguar is getting in on the action with the launch of the new R-Sport line.
Set to be introduced on the XF at the Geneva Motor Show, the R-Sport trim at least some of the flash of the XFR or XFR-S but with a more economical engine and a relatively accessible price of entry. (This is, after all, still a Jag.) The XF R-Sport is distinguished by a sportier front bumper, side sills, rear spoiler, 17-inch wheels and unique badging to set it apart from any "ordinary" Jaguar XF. The interior is upgraded as well, and there's an optional black styling pack to take things even further.
Jaguar is offering the XF R-Sport in either sedan or wagon form with the 2.2-liter turbodiesel producing 161 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, fitted with a spot-start system to make it a far more frugal option than the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 in the real deal. Although this version won't be coming to US as you see it here, Jaguar tells Autoblog it's always possible it'll produce a similar aesthetic treatment for the North American market - just don't count on such models arriving under diesel motivation. We'll take a closer look at them in Geneva next week, but for now, you can check out the gallery and press release below for an idea of what to expect.
