1973 Jaguar E-type Series Iii 2+2 - Project Car For Restoration. on 2040-cars
Schenectady, New York, United States
|
I purchased this car a few years ago to restore and drive. Unfortunately it is a project that I will probably never get to. The car is very complete and runs strong. I was driving it up and down the driveway and in front of the house, but a few months ago, the brake pedal just went to the floor. I am not sure what is wrong with the brake system, but it needs complete rebuild.
The tires are Pirelli and have good tread. The wire wheels are all intact including the spare. There are some minor rust spots on the wheels. They do need to be cleaned and polished. The A/C still blows very cold air and all gauges and controls seem to function. It needs a new battery, but will start with a jump. There are numerous surface rust spots on the body which I tried to show in the photos. A large tree branch fell on the bonnet a year ago and dented it. A good body repair person would have no trouble repairing that. As far as I can tell, there is no major corrosion anywhere on the body. The interior is all original in biscuit color. There are no tears in the leather seats. The dash will need to be recovered. The rear boot floor is made out of plywood and covered with vinyl. The plywood is delaminated and will have to be replaced. The vinyl is probably salvageable. The headliner is sagging inside the car. The carburetors were rebuilt by me a couple of years ago and at that time a new Crane "Fireball" Ignition system was installed. The SU Fuel Pump was rebuilt last year. I replaced the rear mufflers at that time, but now it needs the fronts and/or the exhaust pipes replaced as the car is quite loud. If you're looking for a car to totally restore to Concours condition, this would be an excellent starting point. Or, if you are looking for one which would require just a bit of work to again make roadworthy, this would also be a good candidate. It is a good straight, honest car with a very fair reserve price. I have described this vehicle as honestly as I can. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. This car will not be able to be driven due to the lack of brakes, but I encourage you to see this car in person- by appointment only. |

Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
Jaguar readying SUV for Frankfurt debut
Thu, 01 Aug 2013In an effort to target higher-volume vehicle segments, Jaguar is getting ready to introduce its first-ever crossover, and Autoweek reports that we could see it debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. We've heard in the past that the new Jaguar crossover could carry the name XQ, but the report also mentions that the Q-type name is still in the running (now wouldn't Audi just love that?).
A little more clear than the crossover's name, AW says the cargo-friendly Jaguar should ride on the same platform as the upcoming Jaguar XS compact sedan rather than using a Land Rover platform. As for the on-sale date, it still sounds like the XS will hit the roads first in 2015 with the crossover model due out in 2016.
2016 Jaguar XF mule spied in Germany
Wed, 30 Oct 2013From our best guess, the Jaguar test mule shown in these spy shots could very well be our first glimpse at the next-generation Jaguar XF, due out around the 2016 model year. The current XF has been around for five years already (launched in 2008), and this mule is likely testing powertrain or chassis components for a new version of the midsize Jaguar sedan.
With what seems to be a stretched wheelbase and wider track, this is almost certainly not a mule for the 3 Series-fighting Jaguar XS. That being said, though, there is also the outside chance that this could be a mule for other future Jaguar Land Rover products including a production version of the Jaguar C-X17 crossover or the Jaguar-based Range Rover Grand Evoque. Only time will tell what these images truly foretell, but if nothing else, it proves that Jaguar is definitely staying busy these days.
