1971 JAGUAR E TYPE 2+2

ORIGINAL SURVIVOR


There only original once!  This Jaguar E Type has mostly been in storage for the past few decades.  The car runs and drives and amazingly still has ice cold blowing air conditioning.


The car still sports and original factory paint and it shows pretty well.  I think a polish and wax job and you’re done.  Personally,  I would NOT repaint this car.  How many survive with original paint?  This car is also a matching numbers car.  The motor matches and body.


The V12 starts right up and runs smooth and sounds distinctive.   The past owner a few years ago put new tires on the car and an aluminum five core radiator with electric fans to keep the car running cool.  He said the carbs were balanced too.  The car will come with the original radiator.


This car not only sports original paint,  but there is no rust through found anywhere.   The original sheet metal is fabulous.  The car was originally a California car, then New Mexico and only recently, Texas.


The body is extremely nice.  There was a small bump in the nose atop the grill and some minor body work was done at some point to fix it.   The drivers side bonnet has two small dents up front.


The Jag is leaking what I believe is power steering fluid.  I also believe the valve covers are seeping oil onto the manifolds.  At engine shut down, there is sometimes oil burn off coming from the bonnet louvers for a few minutes.


The transmission is an automatic and seems to shift as it should.  The car shows 58,xxx miles.  The speedometer cable seems bad and I don’t know how long its been off line.   By the looks of the brake pedal pad,  I would guess the car has less the 100k on it.   Some of the gauges work,  some seem not actuate. 


The wipers work, and original radio works and sounds pretty good.  The horn works and turn signals.  The brakes are good and the emergency brake grabs tight.


Inside the front leather bucket seats are dry and cracked up.  I would re-upholster them.  The dash has no cracks forward but one towards the glass.


The car comes with some extra parts and four never used carburetor kits.  It will also come with several books and manuals etc.  One is a large original hard cover book from the 70’s.  Likely worth a lot alone.


Please call or write before bidding if you have any questions.  Houston Wills at 210-548-1310 between 9am-7pm CST.  The car is located in San Antonio Texas and comes with a clear New Mexico title.

Jaguar Land Rover's InMotion takes a stab at carsharing

Wed, Apr 13 2016

Jaguar Land Rover's new InMotion mobility business aims to capitalize on the growing carsharing boom and develop other forms of alternative transportation. The first pilot programs kick off in the coming months in North America, Europe, and Asia. JLR owns InMotion, but the company acts independently from the automaker. "As a start-up business, InMotion combines the flexibility and pace needed to compete in the ever-changing mobility sector. It allows us to react quickly to new tech and ever-changing customer demands," Adrian Hallmark, JLR's Group Strategy Director, said in a statement. The 30-person firm intends to develop its own answers to upcoming transport problems and also invest in entrepreneurs to develop those solutions. InMotion isn't yet providing many details about what projects the firm expects to tackle, but the Website mentions carsharing and on-demand delivery services. Establishing InMotion shows that JLR doesn't want to fall behind the current trends in the auto industry. Practically every major automaker is currently pursuing future transportation ideas. For example, Ford recently took a very similar approach when it spun off Smart Mobility into a separate startup. BMW also rebranded its DriveNow carsharing service into ReachNow to also add a future ridesharing service.

Jaguar XFR-S pitted against Mercedes E63 AMG

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

It was Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar who got the tough job of comparing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S on the track and sheep-strewn British B-roads. In UK spec both Mephistophelean sedans wrangle the same 542 horsepower, but step out of the corral and things look to weigh heavily in the Mercedes' favor: it has more torque, it's lighter, it's quicker from 0-to-60 and it's less expensive.
But that's on paper. Sutcliffe was given the job to see what effect all those letters and numbers had on the real-world driving experience. One of them is "an absolute hoot at the track" with great steering and weight management, one is "magnificent." To find out which is which, watch the video below.

Jaguar Land Rover gets to work on new university R&D center

Fri, Mar 20 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has a raft of new products in the pipeline, from the new Defender to the next-generation XF sedan. But new product isn't the only thing the British automaker is investing in: it's also opening new facilities around the world, including what it's calling the National Automotive Innovation Centre back home in the UK. Based at the University of Warwick, the new $220-million R&D center is the result of a joint effort between JLR, its parent company Tata, the manufacturing arm of the university and the British government. The facility will bring together professionals from the automaker as well as its suppliers with academics to encourage, as the name suggests, innovation in the automotive sector. Its 355,000 square feet are earmarked to become the hub for Jaguar Land Rover's advanced research activities, including "workshops, laboratories, virtual engineering suites and advanced powertrain facilities, equipped to enable a full range of design, visualisation and prototyping activities." The cornerstore was just laid in a ceremony this week, but the facility isn't due to open until the Spring of 2017 when it will encompass some 1,000 employees, including 600 relocated by JLR to the new location from other sites in the UK.
