1972 JAGUAR E-TYPE V12 CONVERTIBLE

Up for auction is an un-restored all original '72 Jaguar E-Type Convertible w/ 29,000 original miles.  Everything is original and numbers matching. Completely rust free California car, still has the California plates on it from the last time it was registered.  $8000.00 was just spent on having the engine and mechanics completely gone through and it runs excellent.  You wont be disappointed.  The car is located less than 1 miles from the Cincinnati International Airport, you could fly in and drive it home if you choose.

The Engine runs excellent.  It has the 5.3L V-12 engine.  No issues.  It fires right up.  It is all original except for the plugs, wires, coil and battery of course.  Needs nothing.

The Transmission shifts good.  I have found no issues with it,  Shifts just like it should.

The Drivetrain is good.  Tires are good.  It drives straight.  It feels tight.  No strange noises or issues.  The braking system was gone through and works great.  The suspension is original and was found to have no issues.  No rust.

The Interior is great.  Its all original, and in good condition. The leather is great.  The dash has no cracks.  All the gauges work.  The door panels are excellent.  The boot release works.  The convertible top and top frame is excellent and works with no issues.  The carpet is clean and it has the original floor mats in good shape.  All the lights work. The heat works.  The e-brake works.  You will not be disappointed with the interior its near perfect. It has the original wire wheel spare tire w/ the original Michelin tire.  There is a slight issue with the driver seat, when you move the back of the seat the lever does not always catch immediately, but if you play with it it will catch, needs a little attention.

The Exterior is good.  It has the original paint on it and is not with out it's flaws as it is 40 years old, however as you can see in the pics it is in good over all condition, and shines beautifully, with a few scratches and a few blemishes.  It has a spot on the rear deck in front of the trunk lid right in the middle, see pic, which I would say is one of its biggest flaws, it appears to me to be cracked paint, about a half dollar in size.  Its other biggest flaw in the paint is around where the hard top sits, but that is to be expected,  it has some small light scratching, I would say 3 to 4 noticeable spots.  Other than that it may have 1 or 2 other tiny blemishes just from being 40 yr old paint, but again its in great condition for its age.  The body is rust free, dent free, ding free.  The chrome shines nicely.  The wheels are beautiful.  The convertible top is great, never been in the elements what so ever, no issues with it.  It comes with a Hard Top, the hard top is in good condition.  The car has never seen rain, underneath is rust free.  The exhaust is good.  

If you have any questions or you would like to schedule a time to see the car please feel free to call me anytime 859-803-0858.  My name is John.

David Brown Automotive launches old-is-new-again Speedback [w/video]

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Back in January, we reported on a new British coachbuilder called David Brown Automotive. In February, the startup released the first details and images of its inaugural project, and now it has revealed the finished product.
It's called Speedback, and it's based on the Jaguar XKR. But while it's built on a modern chassis (relatively, anyway - the XK arrived in 2006 and is soon to be discontinued), it's been rebodied to look like a classic British GT. That means that, while it may look like a classic Aston Martin, it's got a thoroughly modern 5.0-liter supercharged V8 under the hood with over 500 horsepower on tap.
Otherwise, little in the way of details have been disclosed - including what you can bet will be an astronomic price that tends to come with these sorts of coachbuilt customs. But the important parts are what you can see, and that means the finest British craftsmanship inside and out. Whether you like the particular style or not, of course, is entirely a matter of taste.

Here's the 2021 Jaguar F-Type reveal with Hot Wheels

Mon, Dec 2 2019

UPDATE: The car has been shown in full. You can check out all the details in our reveal post here. The collaboration with Hot Wheels sprouted the reveal video that you can find above. Jaguar and Hot Wheels built a 761-foot long course with 44 corners in the Jaguar design studio. You can see the F-Type Hot Wheels cars go around it before meeting the life-size F-Type at the end. There’s a new Jaguar F-Type coming today, and the show is bound to be worth watching. Jaguar is revealing the sports car at 3 p.m. ET, and itÂ’s being done in partnership with Hot Wheels. We all know how dramatic and wild Jaguar reveals can be from its previous stunts. With Hot Wheels as a partner, this F-Type presentation is bound to be quite the show.  If youÂ’d like to see the latest teaser from Jaguar for the F-Type, check out our post here. The Hot Wheels loop-do-loop stunt is teased out, and we get a short glimpse of the car itself.  Spy shots have made it out to be mightily similar to the current generation of F-Type from a design standpoint, but thereÂ’s nothing wrong with that. Standby for a reveal soon. Jaguar F-Type Convertible 3 View 28 Photos

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.
