1969 JAGUAR XKE Fully Restored with Glass Covered Headlamps: The body was completely stripped down and fully dismantled. We performed a complete rotisserie restoration to the highest standards. All rust was cut-out and replaced with new metal panels from Monocoque-Metalworks. The undercarriage was seam sealed, rust-proofed, and painted as the rest of the car. We performed a proper conversion to fit glass covered headlamps. Great attention was paid to having proper shut lines and even panel gaps. The complete restoration was photo documented. A new and complete black leather interior kit as original has been fitted. The interior was supplied by Original Specification Jaguar Interiors. "Dynamat" was used throughout the interior and trunk, as well as the original jute insulation, to keep the car quiet and comfortable. The convertible top frame has been restored and fitted with a new vinyl top. The top boot cover is also new. A stereo with IPOD & USB hook-ups has been installed. Original numbers matching Engine completely Rebuilt to the highest standards using genuine Jaguar parts. A modern style rear main seal was adapted to eliminate the troublesome oil leaking original rope seal. With the fitment of Triple SU Carburettors and a modern 123 electronic distributor, along with a new original spec stainless steel exhaust this 4.2L Jaguar has the proper "Growl" and performs better than when new. A new Alloy radiator filled with "Evans" waterless non-toxic coolant along with twin original cooling fans keeps this cat running cool and reliable. Original Transmission was completely overhauled as well as new clutch and hydraulics. This gearbox shifts smoothly and effortlessly. No noises or grinding. The overall driving experience is that of a new car. The front suspension components were all rebuilt using uprated parts such as poly-urethane bushings. All of the main suspension components were nickel plated as original for superior corossion protection and superior asthetic appeal. The front & rear brakes were completely overhauled. Once again the main components such as calipers and handbrakes were nickel plated. This Jaguar has been fitted with new brake master cylinder, servo assembly, and stainless brake lines.The rear suspension and differential have been overhauled, painted and detailed. The majority of the chrome plating was re-plated by Van Nuys Plating in California to the original Superior type Hexavalent Triple Chrome Plating. A few pieces were left original to preserve some patina. The wire wheels are brand new Chrome Rim/Stainless Spoke Dayton's. We chose a 15x6 "Center-Lace" wire wheel for better visual appeal and better handling 215/65-15 Pirelli P4 Tires. The story: We originally sold this car to one of our good customers back in the late eighties. We reacquired the Jag back in September 2013. We embarqued on the full restoration in-house. We have been a Jaguar Specialist shop restoring E-Types for over 30 years - since 1980. Call 908-268-8108 for further details or to arrange a test drive.

2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a seriously pretty kitty

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

The F-Type roadster is a beautiful car, but if we're honest, the coupe might be even more so. The hard top creates a smooth, uninterrupted line from the windshield all the way back to the rear of the car, the kinked-up rear-quarter windows are a nice touch and, overall, the design looks more organic than the roadster.
With the coupe's introduction also comes a new engine in the F-Type lineup, the 550-horsepower 5.0-liter supercharged V8 found in the XFR-S and XKR-S, and it's fitted to the top model, the F-Type R Coupe. The 495-hp mill in the V8 S roadster won't be an option in the coupe, however, but we're okay with that because Jaguar claims the 550-hp variant will scoot to 60 mph in just four seconds. Jaguar also will offer the base F-Type Coupe, with a 340-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6, and the F-Type S Coupe, which has the same engine tuned to 380 hp. The base and mid-level models are quite quick, and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.1 and 4.8 seconds, respectively.
The F-Type Coupe is priced starting from $65,000, the S Coupe adds $12,000 and the R Coupe starts at $99,000 (prices don't include $895 destination fee). For more F-Type Coupe info, check out our previous post on it, or head on below to read the press release.

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.

Chinese patent filing shows what could be next Royal Limo from Jaguar

Fri, 10 May 2013

Someone filed a patent application in China for the Jaguar XJ limousine seen above, but no one's sure who filed it or what the car is for. One camp thinks it's a State limo for UK royals like the Bentley State Limousine, another camp thinks it's the work of aftermarket coachbuilders.
One thing's for sure: Assuming it ever gets made, anyone who buys it wants an XJ in name only; the modifications have removed almost all of the grace of the standard sedan. Estimated to be more than three feet longer than an XJ, the stretched rear doors are backed by an even more stretched rear section that, in losing the trademark XJ C-pillar (the D-pillar on this car), adds all sorts of ungainliness to its backside. What's more, the roof rises from front to rear, we can only assume to make room for people with large hats. Or the NBA player that the Chinese call "Sweet Melon."
Head over to AutoSohu for more photos from the application, if you're sure that's what you really want.
