Avon, Connecticut, United States

 This 1970 Series II e-type  FHC is currently registered in Connecticut and is driven only on clear days and to shows, slaloms and Jaguar events.

This car has been massaged by the owner with careful attention to the obvious Value that these cars are already attaining and no doubt will continue to climb at a very fast pace in the very near future.

  The original 4.2 litre motor was removed from the car, it had an exhaust valve failure so it needs some head work and a piston, but it comes with the car as it should.  What is in the car now is the best possible scenario.  (1987 sIII sedan block and large valve head) This car has been carefully built according to a plan up to the point of the paint and the bodywork.  Below is the list of the modifications, but remember, all modifications were made with the careful thought of being able to put the car back to stock without a lot of trouble.

 

-The motor is a 1987 Jaguar Series III sedan 4.2 litre original bore, it only had 40k miles on it and it was checked, cleaned assembled with

the large valve injected cylinder head and it retains the large engine oil cooler and spin on oil filter to keep it cool and to retain oil temp.

-The motor is fitted with 4.2 e-type  triple Su carburetors and original 1967 style intake and they are jetted for the current setup

-The car has a Holley Fuel pump and runs an Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator and  starts immediately, never any fuel issues.

-The ignition is a Mallory Distributor with new 7MM wires .

-The motor has a Large Bore exhaust Header and free flow mufflers, it is not excessively loud.  Just right

-The transmission is the original 4 speed and bell housing, it does grind into second gear at times, Just to make to sure to mention.

-The Clutch is a Clutchmasters disc Heavy duty and The Flywheel is a Terrys Aluminum lightweight Unit.

-The radiator is a large core, full flow Griffin aluminum radiator with a Hi volume electric fan.  The car Always runs cool.  never an issue.

-The car has a lightweight 80A  aluminum  cased modern alternator and regulator, and it has a new 800amp battery

-The car has a rebuilt Water pump and all new hoses, all new clamps and all new fittings, fluids are recent and checked.

-The differential is a 3:31 E-type unit , it is limited slip it is not rebuilt and we cannot totally guarantee this ratio  and it

  leaks at the pinion seal. The rear rotors have been replaced once already, they are not the original sandwich design

  and they are fine, look almost new.  They were not redone with this build.     

-The rear suspension is stock but for uprated mountings and Koni shocks- the rear wheel houses are all rebuilt, new bearings and detailed.

-The front suspension is stock but for the upgrade of larger Series III spindles, hubs and larger stock Jaguar Calipers.

  the brake hoses are new stock rubber lines and the car has all Ate super blue fluid in the brake and clutch systems.

  All brake pads are premium Hi temp pads and are less than a year old less than 2000 miles.

-The car comes with any extra parts that are available, the rear bumper, which is off now is included, front bumpers are available from

  many sources.

-There is no radio in the car, interior is very usable, original headliner is in the car at this time.  It has stock seats, with good tracks and hardware.

-The tires are almost new Dunlop Direzzas, Stagger size (see pictures) and the wheels are 16x8 steel road wheels. they can accept any center cap,

  either Chevrolet or jaguar or just plain.

 

-This E-type can be enjoyed the way it is? or put back to stock.  Look at the pictures carefully, it needs a lot of body work, the floors are sound but have been repaired with metal and may want to be made with new pans someday as the car keeps rising in value.  Depending on your game plan, the floors are fine to leave as they are as well as the body work.   If series II cars continue to rise as they have been following the Series I e-types, The original motor may be the way to go.  And the already set up Series III motor has plenty of value which would be an additional value.

-This car is dependable and very quick,  its stance turns heads and it drives solid and flat, not soft like a stock car.

-

There is a lot of work done to this car, There is over 40k dollars invested in the build out of this Jaguar.  Heater box is already detailed, It is mechanically sound, the suspension is sorted out...Look at it closely and don’t let it slip by.  Look at the pictures!  As for the pictures, Everyone knows what a Jaguar E-type looks like, These are not Glamor shots, we are trying to show the condition and value of this car in order to explain what is being offered here.  this car turns heads...

 Vehicle being sold AS-IS. No written or implied warranty.

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

Jaguar XE promises to net 'over 75 mpg,' just not for us [w/video]

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

With around a month away from its world debut on September 8, Jaguar continues to issue a constant drip of updates about its upcoming XE compact luxury sedan that's aiming to take on the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Where the company's last bit of info focused on the car's suspension setup, this time Jag's putting the spotlight on the new model's modular platform and making some big promises about it, too. How big? Try over 75 miles per gallon big.
That's the headline figure that Jaguar is claiming for its new sedan, but it's keeping mum on just what powertrain will realize that figure. Furthermore, that result is on the European test cycle, which is more lenient than America's EPA testing regime. In any case, when the XE hits the road, Jag says it will be the most efficient vehicle from the company, ever.
That's thanks in no small part to the aluminum-intensive monocoque chassis underpinning the sedan. It's constructed from a new grade of the lightweight metal called RC 5754 that uses a high portion of recycled material. "The Jaguar XE body uses over 75-percent aluminum content, which far exceeds any other car in its class. This gives us a body structure with unrivaled low weight: it's light but also immensely strong with extremely high levels of torsional stiffness," said Dr. Mark White, Jaguar Chief Technical Specialist; Body Complete.
