I have been collecting Jaguar e-types for over 30 years and rarely have I had an e-type that has me this excited. The car only has 26K original miles. The color combination of Greensand with green interior is original and very rare. I've owned many e-type in the traditional colors (red, silver,BRG, white, etc) and it is refreshing seeing one in a color that makes it stand out in the crowd. The paint is mostly original with the exception of the bonnet which was repainted some time ago. The color match was excellent and cannot be detected. The interior was redone within the last 3 years to very high standards. Chrome, glass, wire wheels and tires are excellent. Black soft top is in excellent condition. Includes the rare removable hardtop. To top it off the car has the manual gearbox instead of the slush box. This is an unmolested e-type that has been very well maintained. Some sensible upgrades were done which greatly improve the car's reliability and driving pleasure.
- a more efficient aluminum radiator was installed (which keeps the car cool) - the rear differential was changed to 2.88. This reduces the RPMs at higher speeds and makes highway driving much more pleasant - upgraded ignition system. The original Lucas system is known to fail. This ignition looks like the original but the guts are upgraded - Steering rack was rebuilt with better seals (they are known to leak) - Front brake calipers replaced - All 26 cooling hoses were recently replaced (this is a job that many people neglect to do since it is time consuming) - Air conditioner was recently serviced with new compressor seals, dryer, etc. AC works fine. - All five tires are practically new - New clutch (pressure plate, disc, etc) - New brake master and booster - The ugly USA bumpers were replaced with the bumpers used on the European delivery cars. I just HATE those big rubber bumpers that USA delivered cars were forced to use. This car has the bumpers it was designed to use, and in my opinion looks so much cleaner. The car had bumper guards which I removed as I think it looks less cluttered without them. The bumper guards were a dealer option and many people had them installed when the cars were new. The car comes with the guards in case you prefer to have them on and can be easily installed. In 2004 the car was the regional champion in the preservation class for the Jaguar Clubs of North American Southeast Region. It was featured on the July/Aug 2012 cover of the Jaguar Journal magazine, a copy of the magazine comes with the car. Includes the jack in the bag, tool kit, knock off hammer and tool, boot cover, owner's manual, Heritage Certificate, service receipts and service manual. This car is one of those rare finds with just the right amount of patina yet has been recently attended and sorted out to enjoy. The type of car where you just put the key in ..... and drive. Feel free to call me if you have questions: 770-998-0923 Ivan

Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
Jaguar has something special planned for Goodwood
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's been barely a week since JLR announced its new Special Operations division, dedicated to creating limited-run halo cars and custom creations for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Now the British automaker has confirmed the debut of the division's first project.
We don't know what it is, exactly, that Jaguar will be bringing to the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week, but we bet it'll be exciting. If we were the betting kind, we'd put our money on some kind of hot-rod F-Type, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Alongside whatever JLR Special Operations has got cooking, Coventry will also be bringing the new F-Type R Coupe and XFR-S Sportbrake to run up the hill alongside a whole slew of classic and racing Jaguars, including a pair of D-Types, a Group 44 E-Type, a Group A XJS and the reunion of XJR-9 and Andy Wallace that last saw each other on the top step of the podium at Le Mans in 1988.
