1969 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES TWO ROADSTER. RED/BLACK. 4-SPEED. CHROME WIRE WHEELS. 

Up for sale here on Ebay is a very decent 1969 Jaguar E-type Series Two Roadster. 
It has just been removed from storage for a period of about 20 years. The car looks very good cosmetically from about 10 feet, but close up the paint is showing some signs of it's age with some checking on the hood and trunk lid. 
The interior appears very decent and usable. The seats are trimmed in leather, and would only require some conditioning. The softtop is a replacement type with no rips or tears and a very nice back window. There is a newer tonneau cover included. The chrome and glass look very nice overall. The chrome wire wheels present well, but the tires should be changed out as a safety precaution. The wood portion of the original steering wheel is starting to separate from the aluminum. All of the gauges and switchgear appear in good order and original. 
Jacked up, the car looks solid underneath. The underside of the bonnet at the front looks really good, no damage. The hood could use some minor alignment/adjustment for a perfect fit along the bulkhead. The doors open and shut fine. The trunk lid sits a little proud, like most cars do. 
This car has been fitted with a 3.8 Triple Carb Series One E-type engine and gearbox, engine number RA3203-9. The previous owner, who was very forthright, started the engine up with a battery and fuel that he gravity fed into the carbs. The car was yard driven for a short period around his property with great results. The car ran very well and strong, with good oil pressure. It currently needs some brakework and a fuel system cleanout at this point to make it a nice driver. He used the handbrake to stop the car, afraid that pushing the brake pedal could seize the brakes after the long storage period...
Overall, this car presents a good opportunity to secure a very decent Jaguar E-type 6-cylinder Roadster. With a little bit of mechanical recommissioning and minor efforts, one could turn this car into a very usable and attractive road car. 
This car is located in Southern California and can be viewed by appointment. It is sold with a New York registration certificate which is suitable for export, as New York doesn't issue titles on vehicles past a certain year. $43,900.

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.

Jaguar rolls out 2014 XJ updates

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

It may be an uphill battle with Mercedes-Benz having rolled out its all-new S-Class, but in an effort to entice more customers towards its flagship sedan, Jaguar has announced a series of enhancements for the XJ.
A number of upgrades aim to make the long-wheelbase model that much more accommodating, with new airline-style rear seats that recline, massage and optimize the headroom in the back. The rear suspension has also been recalibrated for comfort, and there's a new optional Meridian sound system with a Conversation Assist feature that uses microphones in the headliner to pick up occupants' voices and pipe them through the speakers to support the art of conversation in motion.
The engine range carries over unchanged, but each engine is now mated to an eight-speed automatic with an available stop/start system which Jaguar says takes less time to restart the engine than it takes for the driver to move his or her right foot from brake to gas. Full details in the press release below.

Jaguar XE spied flying over London

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We only have a few hours to wait before Jaguar finally, and fully, unveils its oft-teased XE sedan. But the Internet is no respecter of secrets, as these very last-minute spy shots make clear.
Presumably being airlifted to its spectacular debut location near Earl's Court in London, the BMW 3-Series-fighting XE was captured mid-flight, and completely undisguised.
The images are understandably a bit blurry, but they do confirm that DNA from the current Jag lineup is transitioning nicely to the new small luxury sedan. The XE shows a stance typical of the brand, with a relatively short rear overhang, and big, boldly styled wheels. The bluff front end is reminiscent of if the XF and XJ, and, as we know from earlier teasers, will wear a "growler" logo over a black grille.
