1974 Jaguar E-Type has been lovingly restored to original condition.  Unfortunately the car was garage stored for 7 years and not driven.  The car is now being sold for a friend.  As a professional mechanic, I have inspected the car and found it to be in excellent mechanical condition, although I did replace the pinion seal, all brake hoses, brake pads, and all cooling system hoses.  All four carburetors have been rebuilt and the gas tank has been removed and cleaned. The fuel lines have been cleaned out and the steering rack has been rebuilt.  Both brake master cylinders and the booster have been replaced.  Typical as English cars are, it may have occasional oil drips.  The engine bay is exceptional clean and appears new.  The car runs and drives wonderfully with no known problems.  The British Racing Green body is in very good condition with no visible rust and very few nicks and scratches that are not obvious.  The biscuit interior and black top are new.  The tires are in very good condition with no apparent dry rot but are at least 7 to 8 years old.  This is a car that I believe is turn-key and ready to drive away.

The car is sold as-is, with no warranty.  Serious buyers are welcome to inspect the car in person or send an inspector to form your own opinion of its condition.  I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  Please no dealers, resellers, trades or photo collectors.

No bidders with a score of 10 or less feedback unless you contact me first.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  Good luck and happy bidding.

The successful bidding with provide a $1000, non-refundable down payment within 24 hours of the close of the auction to secure the vehicle.  The buyer agrees to pay the remaining balance due (plus applicable fees and taxes) within 72 hours of the close of the auction.  All financial transactions must be complete before delivery of the vehicle.  Payment may be in cash, certified check, or any other standard guaranteed payment method.  Out-of-state buyers are responsible for all state, county, city taxes and fees as well as title/registration fees in the state that the vehicle will be registered.

Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.

Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.

Jaguar sends off XK with limited-run Final 50 edition

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

The Jaguar XK coupe and convertible are pointed at the production sunset, and the cars that will end their retail lives in the US will be the dubbed the XK Final Fifty Limited Edition. As the name implies there will be fifty of them made, 25 of the fixed-roof variety, 25 of the droptop.
As the name doesn't imply, however, they'll be based on the XKR and be injected with liberal doses of XKR-S and XKR-S GT: the 510-horsepower V8 from the XKR will be mated to normally optional items like the Dynamic and Performance Packs, machined front suspension components from the XKR-S and a 10-millimeter lower ride height, the louvered hood from the XKR-S GT and Vortex 20-inch forged wheels. The sheetmetal gets a bath in Ultimate Black paint "with special trim" and badged door sill plates. Convertibles will come black roofs, but the Performance Active Exhaust will keep you apprised of the 5.0-liter V8 bellows no matter which car you choose.
They'll go into production this summer and hit dealerships in the fall. There's a lengthy press release below with more info on how this cat will sing its swan song.
