1969 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Frostburg, Pennsylvania, United States
For sale is a 1969 Jaguar E type 4.2L Series II Coupe. The car runs and drives great. Mechanically it is original,
with just under 54,000 miles on it. The paint is an older custom gold color, but still shines well.
Over the past 5 years a good bit of work has been done to it. This includes front and rear rebuilt calipers, new
brake hoses, pads, parking brake pads, rotors, ball joints, tie rod ends, differential mounts, exhaust and all
exhaust mountings, new stainless steel heater pipes, all new water hoses, new water pump, both brake masters and
clutch master cylinders rebuilt, as well as new rack mounts and boots. For the interior a new carpet kit was
installed along with new door and side panels, door caps, and sill covers.
Overall the car is mostly complete, but is missing a few pieces. There are various chrome strips for the doors that
are missing, as well as all the chrome strips for the trunk boards, which also still need to be reupholstered. The
air conditioning does not work, as the compressor and dryer are not installed, but included is a used original
compressor that the owner purchased. While the transmission shifts fine, there is some audible gear/bearing noise.
The starter may need replaced eventually as it occasionally has trouble turning the engine over. The passenger side
door needs adjusted and has a broken latch. The car looks fairly solid underneath. There doesn't seem to be any
apparent rust issues. The front frame looks to be straight.

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.
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 Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
