I picked this car up as a project, but am unable to continue with it.  The car is a redo.  Originally a California car.  Rare Solent Blue color.  Had a respray at some point, and lost the vinyl top in the process.  The body does have some bubbling at the lower edges of the doors and front wings.  Also some rust in the usual places.  A respray would be in order.  Biscuit interior is original, but needs replacing, as does the carpet.  Dash has been restained, but should be replaced.  Headliner is good.  The engine has had twin downdraft Webers installed at some point.  The car runs, but at this time I would not recommend driving it for any distance, as the engine stumbles occasionally under acceleration.  Engine and transmission should be gone through.  The odometer reads about 35,000 miles, but I have no way to verify the actual mileage.  Tires are good, with original steel wheels.  Original Stromberg carbs included, as are many other trim items and other parts.  The car has had both fuel tanks replaced by me with NOS tanks, brakes redone with new pads, rear rotors and master cylinder replaced.  The car is original, and intact.  It is a great candidate for a restoration or a restomod.  This was the last year for the limited run for the XJC, and this car's color makes it all the more rare.  Buyer is responsible for inspecting the car prior to bidding.  The vehicle is sold as is where is, without warranty, no warranty expressed or implied.  Payment in full is due within five working days from completion of auction.  Payment is by Cashier's Check, or PayPal, in U.S. dollars only.  Buyer pays all shipping/transport fees.  Car is currently licensed, but should be considered as a project, and transported, not driven, to buyer's destination.  1979 XJ12L parts car also available.

Jaguar recalling XK Convertible and XF 2.0T sedan for unrelated issues

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that it will be recalling 1,989 XK Convertibles produced between October 1, 2010 and August 1, 2013. Model years ranging from 2011 to 2014 are part of the recall.
The issue has to do with one of the switches the switch that controls the opening and closing of the convertible top. The switch also has to do with the operation of the power windows. According to the Feds, the switch doesn't move down to close the power windows, meaning that the window could accidentally close on the finger or arm of an inattentive person.
In related news, Jaguar is also recalling 940 2013 XF sedans powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for a hose that can detach underhood, which could cause the engine to stall or could leave the driver without power steering or brakes.

1964 Jaguar XKE slinks into Jay Leno's Garage

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The idea of altering a classic Jaguar E-Type might seem preposterous to some, but Jasen Len of XKs Unlimited managed to create a modified 1964 E-Type that stays true to the Jag's timeless design. Just a few months after Jay Leno featured his own original E-Type on Jay Leno's Garage, Len stopped by to show off his custom Jaguar creation.
Starting out with a rust-ravaged body, Len made the car just the way he wanted it to be. He started off with some minor changes to the car's exterior like the Le Mans-inspired racing lights and handmade front bumpers, handmade sills with integrated exhaust and flared rear fenders. Inside, he dropped the floor to make more interior space and reworked the E-Type's styling for more of a modern look. We have to say, if you're going to mess with a Series 1 E-Type, this is the way to do it.
Sadly, even though Len and Leno spend plenty of time talking about the car's 300-horsepower 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder, we never get to hear the car fire up. Check out the JLG video, which is posted below, and as a bonus, enjoy the gallery from Jaguar showing a 1961 E-Type.

Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.
