'71 E Type Series 2 Roadster With 24,000 Miles! Ultimate Color Combo Red/black on 2040-cars
Rockville, Maryland, United States

Have you ever wanted to own a car that people just couldn't help but stare at?
Never mind other people, have you ever owned a car that when you parked it and
walked away you felt compelled to turn around and look at it just one more time... and then again? This is
that car!
This is a two owner, numbers matching, '71 E Type Series 2 Convertible with only 24000
miles. It is the ultimate eye catching color combo of red with black, and comes with the
ultra rare and valuable factory hard top. I own a classic car repair shop and drive a lot of beautiful old cars but none turns heads like this car! My shop has serviced this car for about 8 years. Our customer who has owned
this car since the early '80s is leaving the country and sadly cannot take it
with him. The most recent work performed was the removal of the engine and trans
to replace the clutch. While the engine was out all external seals on the engine
were replaced. The engine was cleaned and painted, and anything that needed to be addressed, was.
Here is a list of some of the work done in the last few years, all within very low mileage:
-Seats were completely redone - frames blasted and painted, new foams, lumbar strappings
and leather covers
-All new fluids, belts, plugs, hoses, brake master cylinder, clutch master
cylinder, clutch slave cylinder,
- Body gaskets were replaced (except windshield and bonnet cowl - did not
need it)
- 5 new Coker redlines, 1 brand new Dayton Wire in trunk for spare ( the four wheels on car are the original Dunlops)
- Every chrome screw, nut, bolt, latch, hook, trim piece, bezel etc has been
removed, cleaned and polished
- All the instruments have been disassembled and cleaned so they're crystal
clear
- Rebuilt front calipers, new brake hoses
- And much, much more! We have thoroughly gone through this car to ensure
everything is working properly so its new owner can enjoy the best of what an E
Type can offer. In our opinion, the Series 2s are the best driving 6 cylinder E Types incorporating all the modifications to increase reliabilty and durability.
They have much bigger brakes, bigger radiator, better fans etc. The owner told us the car was being transported back in the '80s in a covered trailer when it came loose and shifted causing some minor damage resulting in the single repaint. As near as we can tell, the car retains all of its original panels. There are no signs of crash damage or "bondo". There are, however, some scrapes and dents under the front of the bonnet and the rear tail section most of which resulting from the owner's very steep driveway. These are obvious with the car up on the lift but as you can see in the pictures they are not at all obvious on the ground. The paint is in good shape for a 30+ year old paint job but in some areas there's some minute bubbles in the paint. Most people wouldn't notice these until they're pointed out. Again, they're so taken by its beauty. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to set up an appointment to view the car. Jesse or Tracy The Shop 301-770-5247

Jaguar builds F-Type to support Tour de France team [w/video]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014The Tour de France is typically a two-wheeled affair, dominated by cyclists yearning to capture the prestigious yellow jersey. While the 2014 event winds its way through Europe, Stage 20 will see an altogether different conveyance wind along the route between Bergerac and Périgueux - the Jaguar F-Type Coupe.
As part of its partnership with the British cyclists of Team Sky, Jag has enlisted its new Special Operations division to build a one-off F-Type Coupe, based on the 550-horsepower, supercharged R model.
SpecOps has removed the rear glass and come up with a creative solution to mount a pair of Team Sky's racing cycles in the back. Aside from that upgrade, the cabin boasts new upholstery in the colors of Team Sky's traditional livery. A separate power supply has been established below the bikes in what's left of the trunk, which provides juice for a set of radios and microphones, so that the team's director can communicate with the riders.
2014 Jaguar XJR
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Jaguar In Its Purest Form
Jaguar has spent a lot of time, money and engineering effort refocusing itself for the modern world. In 2006, the current XK replaced the former XK8 and introduced a new aluminum-intensive chassis architecture to Jaguar's portfolio, and two years later, the XF whipped up a similar overhaul to its classical styling department.
The next major revision came in 2009, with the introduction of the achingly attractive and completely new XJ sedan, and this step struck us as the biggest improvement yet; not only was Jaguar's flagship built atop a cutting-edge platform, it boasted a newfound sense of style that pointed toward the future while still echoing the brand's storied past. This trend has continued most recently with the two-door F-Type that we've already grown quite fond of.
Jaguar's Callum refutes two XJ bodystyle rumor
Wed, 01 May 2013Not long ago, we relayed word from Edmunds that Jaguar was planning to split its next-generation XJ sedan into two bodystyles - one model that continued the ambitious design approach fostered with the current X351-based model, and another, more upright model to better appeal to China's conservative design sensibilities.
We expressed some cynicism in the idea, noting that such a strategy "might catch more profits for the marque, but it might also represent a setback to design head Ian Callum's vision for a thoroughly modern Jaguar portfolio." Callum has been quite insistent in his belief that Jag needs to be a forward-thinking brand in terms of design, and the two-model strategy seemed to conflict with that idea. We tried to get some comment from Callum at that time, but were unable to reach him.
As it turns out, our cynicism was well-placed. Autocar says that while the next XJ will continue to have two wheelbases, Callum has denied the two-model talk, saying flatly: "I can't see us doing two bodystyles. The cost would be enormous and the message inconsistent. You have to believe in what you produce and to do two bodystyles would undermine that."
