1970 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED EMAIL ME AT: chassidycggou@geordies.org . The car has 88,000 original miles in its 45 years of service. Still wearing it's
original light blue exterior paint, original dark blue leather interior, and with it's original black hard top and
soft blue top (I'm not sure about the originality of the soft top). This car has had extensive mechanical work done
but not been cosmetically restored, which brings the much valued patina. You can see the leather on the seats, that
although you can see it's original and patina, they are still in very good condition. You can also tell by the
original seat belts. With over more than $25k worth of mechanical work done, including all breaking system,
suspension, all hoses replaced, engine rebuilt, distributor replaced, new exhausted system, new aluminum radiator,
among other things. Basically the car has not been used after the engine rebuilt.
This car will start at the first try, it doesn't leak oil (hard to believe), it does not blow smoke at all of any
color, it will not overheat and it will stop as it should. This is not at show car, it's definitely a driver car
and I do not intend to give the idea that the car is perfect. There are still areas to improve, mostly
cosmetically. Among the things that need to attention are: windshield hose, air conditioning (it was not
restorable), carpets (were in very bad shape, so it does not include carpets), among other small cosmetically bits
and pieces. All easy fixes, but also an “easy” restoration in case someone would like to have the work done to
have this car at show quality.
The car also includes the original full spare wire wheel and tire as well as the original changing tools. The
crome is in very good condition as you can tell from the pictures. The paint although is original, it is not in
perfect shape but I decided not to paint it in order to keep the car as original as possible but having it in very
good mechanically condition to be able to enjoy it.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.
Jaguar shows off production XE body in camo
Sun, 18 May 2014Jaguar turned to Twitter and Facebook to reveal the production form of its coming XE sedan that we'll see for real at the Paris Motor Show. This is the first of a series of show-offs, Jaguar planning to wrap the bodywork in see-through camo that shows off the aluminum monocoque and other internals the company will use to promote the XE over its German rivals. That aluminum structure, which Jaguar calls iQ[Al], will also be used for other Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles.
Underneath that long bonnet and ahead of that terribly short trunk will come a series of Ingenium engines, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines in diesel and petrol forms that will come in a variety of power options, and the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that can also be found in the F-Type. Before the XE goes on sale early next year, you can click the image above to get a slightly larger view of what the The Leaping Cat's near future looks like.
