1971 Jaguar Xke 2+2 V12 Original Survivor Found With Factory Air Conditioning on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States

1971 JAGUAR E TYPE 2+2 ORIGINAL SURVIVOR There only original once! This Jaguar E Type has mostly been in storage for the past few decades. The car runs and drives and amazingly still has ice cold blowing air conditioning. The car still sports and original factory paint and it shows pretty well. I think a polish and wax job and you’re done. Personally, I would NOT repaint this car. How many survive with original paint? This car is also a matching numbers car. The motor matches and body. The V12 starts right up and runs smooth and sounds distinctive. The past owner a few years ago put new tires on the car and an aluminum five core radiator with electric fans to keep the car running cool. He said the carbs were balanced too. The car will come with the original radiator. This car not only sports original paint, but there is no rust through found anywhere. The original sheet metal is fabulous. The car was originally a California car, then New Mexico and only recently, Texas. The body is extremely nice. There was a small bump in the nose atop the grill and some minor body work was done at some point to fix it. The drivers side bonnet has two small dents up front. The Jag is leaking what I believe is power steering fluid. I also believe the valve covers are seeping oil onto the manifolds. At engine shut down, there is sometimes oil burn off coming from the bonnet louvers for a few minutes. The transmission is an automatic and seems to shift as it should. The car shows 58,xxx miles. The speedometer cable seems bad and I don’t know how long its been off line. By the looks of the brake pedal pad, I would guess the car has less the 100k on it. Some of the gauges work, some seem not actuate. The wipers work, and original radio works and sounds pretty good. The horn works and turn signals. The brakes are good and the emergency brake grabs tight. Inside the front leather bucket seats are dry and cracked up. I would re-upholster them. The dash has no cracks forward but one towards the glass. The car comes with some extra parts and four never used carburetor kits. It will also come with several books and manuals etc. One is a large original hard cover book from the 70’s. Likely worth a lot alone. Please call or write before bidding if you have any questions. Houston Wills at 210-548-1310 between 9am-7pm CST. The car is located in San Antonio Texas and comes with a clear New Mexico title. PAYMENT AND STORAGE

2015 Jaguar F-Type V6 S Coupe
Wed, 03 Sep 2014My first, ill-fated job in the auto world was at an exotic car dealer in metro Detroit. The job itself sucked, but the cars, they were exceptional. Amidst a sea of Tiptronic Porsche Boxsters, first-gen Mercedes-Benz SLKs and abused second-generation Range Rovers, there were some real gems.
In particular, I have fond memories of a trio of undrivable Jaguar E-Types. Two Series II coupes as well as a Series III convertible (that featured a mostly broken roof) spent the entirety of my brief tenure at the dealership in the back of the musty service garage. I'd make side trips through there just to see the trio of E-Types, which rarely failed to put a big, ridiculous grin on my face.
Since that time in the summer of 2005, there hasn't been a single Jag that's been capable of eliciting the same goofy smile. Not the XFR-S, with its un-aristocratic wing, nor the XKR-S. At the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, though, Jaguar introduced this F-Type Coupe. Sure, the droptop model had been around for a bit, but I thought it was the new coupe that most captured the E-Type's classic aesthetic, with a swooping roofline, those gorgeous rear haunches and a long, powerful hood. I had to drive one.
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.
Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
