1967 Jaguar 4.2litre e-type Series 1 fixed head coupe - the very best of
the e-types. Over the years, his wonderful car has been restored to very
high mechanical and cosmetic standards. But she remains a real car having been driven 3,200miles over the past 6 years by me,
the current owner. She spent most of her corrosion free life in the Denver,
Colorado region but since 2008 resides in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where she
has shared space in a heated garage with my xk140. Finished in the original opalescent maroon with burgundy interior,
the engine, gearbox, chassis and body numbers all match as attested by the Jaguar
Daimler Heritage Trust certificate. The car runs just how you would hope. Oil pressure is always
between 40 and 60psi. Water temperature never gets too high before electric fan
cuts in. All toggle switches and controls work properly as do all the
instruments (except of course the clock). She rides firm, free from rattles and
pulls strong with no smoke. And the sound………… priceless. When I first acquired her, most of the restoration work had
been done. However, some fine tuning
was called for as detailed in the following list. ·
Differential and rear gearbox seals were replaced.
·
A high torque starter was installed. ·
Rack and pinion and the steering column were
overhauled ·
Cylinder head was machined and new valves and
valve guides installed. ·
Aluminum valve covers and SU carbs were polished
and head repainted in correct pumpkin color. ·
Stainless steel exhaust system, including new mufflers
and silencers were installed. ·
The exhaust manifold was ceramic coated. ·
The front and rear brakes were overhauled with
new brake calipers and pads. The brake master cylinder and brake booster were
also replaced. The five wheels and tires, and the four spinners, are like new. ·
Among the lesser items; a new battery tie down
and a new driver’s side window winding mechanism were installed. The alternator
bearings were replaced. Electronic ignition (Petronix) was installed. A new tie
rod and ball joint boots were installed as were new motor and steering rack
mounts. A new high-amp battery was installed. Weatherstripping and rubber seals
were replaced as required. Sound deadening material was installed on the spare
wheel well floor. The cubbie box and the interior arm rests were refinished. ·
The carpeting appears to be original. However
new, correctly designed and fabricated driver and passenger floor mats, with
under-padding, were added. ·
The leather seats show the expected wear of 50 year
old Connelly hides. Recently, the patina
degraded to a small tear on the driver side bolster. This has been repaired and
in the process, the foam squab underlying the leather was rebuilt. ·
A couple of years ago, the original steering
wheel was replaced by a new period-correct MotoLita wheel. The original, still
in great shape, will come with the car. ·
Last year, the entire bonnet was removed to fix
a ding the size of a dime (It happens when you accidentally drop a tool onto
the bonnet). It was taken down to bare metal, repainted and put back on the
car. It is flawless and a perfect match to the rest of the body. Most of the above work has been done professionally by
the best classic car restoration shops in Northern Alberta. Some of the less
complicated stuff I did myself. Back in 2010, the car was professionally photographed and a coffee table style book produced. Pictures from that book cannot be shown here as they re copyrighted. The book will come with the car as will a collection of publications about the marque. I have enjoyed this magnificent sports car for six years and
now it’s some else’ turn. (One of my fondest memories of her was a road trip
from Edmonton, Alberta, through the Rockies and coastal range mountains to
Victoria, British Columbia – and back. 1,650 miles without a hitch). As nice as this car is, she’s not perfect. Like all these
big cats, she marks her territory with dribbles of oil. There at least one
parking lot ding (too small to photograph) and there is a couple of small blisters
under the paint near the top of one of the rear wheel openings (see photo). The brakes,
though effective, are not up to modern standards. The front suspension
wishbones should probably be bead blasted to get them looking new. The
windshield washers have never worked. A small area of the vinyl covering on the
instrument panel has come unglued(see photo) and
should be fixed. There is the tiniest of cracks in the left tail light lens
(see photo).There are probably a few other non-concourse items that I haven’t
identified but as far as I can tell, that’s it for warts. She comes with a complete set of period British (non-Jaguar)
tools in a new pouch. Thor’s hammer and a jack are not included. I didn't have enough space to include them here but I can send photos of the undercarriage showing she is totally free of rust. The car does come with the custom made car cover that is
shown in one of the photos. I would encourage potential bidders to personally inspect
the car or have someone do it on your behalf. This auction is with no reserve.
The starting bid is well below the guidelines for this vehicle. I will be
pleased to assist the buyer to make arrangements for shipping anywhere in the
World though the cost of transportation will be borne by the buyer. If you have
any questions, please feel free to ask and I will answer as promptly as I am
able. Happy bidding. |

Watch four hours of fantastic machinery at Le Mans Classic 2016
Tue, Jul 12 2016The 24 Hours of Le Mans came and went, but it wasn't the end of the automotive activities at Circuit de la Sarthe. This past weekend, the venerable racetrack was host to the 2016 Le Mans Classic, in which seven decades of vintage racecars once again competed for glory. The event started with qualifying on Friday, July 8, and racing on the following Saturday and Sunday. Six "grids" of cars each included a different historic racing era, including the early days from 1923 to 1939, as well as that famous period from 1966 to 1971 that featured the all-conquering Ford GT40. The wide range of eligibility also permitted some unusual machines to show up, such as a 1950 Cadillac Series 61 and a 1974 Dodge Charger. This year also marked the debut of the Group C class for more recent Le Mans racers from 1982 to 1993. The 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B was not present, but one of the Peugeot 905 race cars that gave the marque a remarkable 1-2-3 finish at the 1993 Le Mans came back for the event. The Le Mans Classic also featured the Jaguar Classic Challenge just for cars made by the feline automaker, and the race attracted a bit of human star power. Chris Harris of Top Gear participated in the marque-specific race while behind the wheel of a new continuation Lightweight E-Type. And although the event happened over the weekend, you can catch most of the action via the recorded live stream above. It features a full four hours of vintage racing with commentary in both French and English. It's a great chance to see one of the best combinations of classic cars and historic venues out there.

2021 Jaguar F-Type Luggage Test | Get away, and look extremely good doing it
Fri, Aug 14 2020Just like the Porsche 911 I performed a luggage test on not too long ago, the 2021 Jaguar F-Type is not a luggage-hauling machine. It’s a sports-car-oriented grand tourer, and it also happens to be stonking fast with a supercharged V8 under the hood. Since the engine is in the front, that leaves the rear trunk for all the cargo coming onboard. Assuming you want to take your F-Type on vacations and longer journeys (you do), the respectably-sized boot will come in handy. Jaguar says the coupe (what weÂ’re testing) has 14.4 cubic feet of space, whereas the convertible just about cuts that space in half with only 7.3 cubes. From a numbers perspective, the Jag just edges out the 911 (13.8 cubic feet of space combined between the frunk and rear seat). However, weÂ’ve learned to never take those numbers at face value. I use different equipment than Riswick does in Portland: Two carry-on suitcases sized (24 inches long, 15.5 wide, 10 deep); one carry-on suitcase (21.7L x 13.7W x 9 D); one medium-size suitcase you have to check (24.5L x 16.8W x 11.5D) and one larger, full-size suitcase (33.8L x 21.5W x 13D). The second full-size suitcase didnÂ’t get the call up, because one look at the luggage compartment was all I needed to know that two of them werenÂ’t going in there. Getting into the luggage compartment is luxurious enough for a Jag. Use the button on the fob, a toggle switch on the interior, or press the button under the lid. ItÂ’s fully powered going up and down, so you can devote all of your bodyÂ’s energy to wrestling the car around corners. The space itself is rather shallow and hindered by a privacy cover that hangs low. YouÂ’ll need to remove that shade to take advantage of the entire space, but we started with it on to see what could fit under it. This F-Type is low, so even though you have to lift things over the rear bumper, itÂ’s not horribly strenuous. I initially slid two of the carry-on suitcases in. Those fit lying flat, but there wasnÂ’t much extra space. To take advantage of what was left, I squeezed in the fancy bag (22L x 8.8W x 12D). With the privacy shade intact, youÂ’re not going to fit any more suitcases than that due to height restrictions. A very shallow item could slide on top of the inboard suitcase, but it would have to be very short. Another configuration I tried showed that the medium suitcase and one carry-on could fit. Additionally, the full-size suitcase also fits if itÂ’s in there alone.
