1972 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
I had new clutch installed , airconditioning work , alternator rebuilt, Radiator core rebuilt and upgraded for better cooling. The air conditioner
has lost its freon a couple years ago from sitting. I had the RPM gauge rebuilt but now it works occasionally, I
suspect a loose wire in the system. Everything else works, although
the work was done years ago there is only 6000 miles on these items. All receipts for the work I did are in the
folder along with the previous owners. Lots of documents , even have the sales brochure and original operating
manual. Engine number matches the vin.
The body of the car is excellent, other than a few nicks. The only thing I could find is a repair behind the rear
wheels I have a photo where
repair was made and its a very small area same on the opposite side but nothing shows up, I'm thinking its from the
rear wheels throwing rocks. I find no other areas on the car that had any work. At some point the car had a respray
there is no information in the
receipts, it had to be over 40 years ago that this was done. This car has always been garaged.
The seats show some cracking of the leather and are very comfortable.
The engine runs smooth and strong and burns clean, I recently replaced the tank radiator header where the radiator
cap is.
I also replaced the front brake lines and an electronic sensor cap on a brake reservoir, oil pressure is great. I
have never had any issues with this motor I did install a small purple light next to the gear shift so i could see
when the cooling fans were turning on and running. I Installed it next to the gear shift so i could see when the
cooling fans were running , this is noted in the pictures.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
First Ride: 2014 Jaguar F-Type [w/video]
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Shotgun In Coventry's First Sports Car In Decades
For every car, there is a passionate group of fans who love it, and the F-Type already has a few million rabid followers. These are fabulous things, sports cars, and we're very happy that Jaguar is making one again. Finally. (Before you start relishing the prospect of correcting us, the XK is really a grand tourer, not a sports car.)
The main question, however, will be whether someone in a position to buy a lifestyle-enhancing yet impractical F-Type will do so in the face of more established competitors from Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW. The last time Jaguar built a true two-seater sports car (1974 E-Type; the last of the XJ220 limited run in 1994 doesn't count in this league), most of today's new buyers were too young or may not yet have been born. At any rate, the F-Type has a lot of work to do for the brand beyond just selling itself.
Jaguar XFR-S pitted against Mercedes E63 AMG
Wed, 21 Aug 2013It was Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar who got the tough job of comparing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S on the track and sheep-strewn British B-roads. In UK spec both Mephistophelean sedans wrangle the same 542 horsepower, but step out of the corral and things look to weigh heavily in the Mercedes' favor: it has more torque, it's lighter, it's quicker from 0-to-60 and it's less expensive.
But that's on paper. Sutcliffe was given the job to see what effect all those letters and numbers had on the real-world driving experience. One of them is "an absolute hoot at the track" with great steering and weight management, one is "magnificent." To find out which is which, watch the video below.
