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.

Has the Jaguar XKR-S Sportbrake leaked out early?

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Want to haul ass down the Autobahn with the whole family and all their gear in tow? Forget that Porsche Cayenne or Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 - what you'll want is a power wagon: something like an Audi RS6 Avant or Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate. Unfortunately there are precious few of these performance station wagons on the market anywhere, especially with American offerings like the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon on its way out and the Dodge Magnum SRT8 long gone. But there's a new challenger emerging.
That'd be the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, a hi-po estate from Coventry that's been a long time in the making. And now it's apparently almost here. (Only by "here," we mean "there," as it's not likely ever to come to the United States.)
Apparently set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show is a Frankenstein-style cross between a Jaguar XF Sportbrake and XFR-S performance sedan, taking the best elements from both. From the former, that means the extended roofline that gives it the cargo capacity of a small crossover. From the former, that means a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 producing 542 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque, driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T

Fri, 10 May 2013

Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:

Jaguar-based Eagle E-Type Low Drag GT makes its bid for most beautiful car ever with EVO

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

The Jaguar E-Type is one of the icons of automotive design, and British company Eagle has made a business out of restoring, upgrading and building their bespoke versions for the last 30 years. It does for the E-Type what Singer does for the Porsche 911 - takes an already great classic car and updates its mechanicals for the modern age.
The firm's latest creation, the Low Drag GT, might be its greatest ever, at least according to editor Henry Catchpole in Evo magazine's latest video. The car takes its inspiration from a trio of low-drag E-Type coupes built in the 1960s, but thoroughly modernizes the concept. The engine is based on Jag's inline-six, but made from aluminum and bored out to 4.7 liters to produce 346 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Catchpole says it's enough to propel it to 60 miles per hour in about 4.5 seconds. The body, transmission and differential are all also made from aluminum to cut the weight to 2,288 pounds, and modern upgrades include Ohlins dampers, AP Racing brakes and even extras like concealed GPS navigation and an Alcantara headliner. There's more head- and legroom than the originals, too.
Each car is built bespoke for each buyer, so prices vary, but Catchpole says the one he is in would run about half the cost of a LaFerrari - around $700,000.
