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. |

Jaguar's electric speedboat smashes decade-old record
Mon, Jun 18 2018We knew Jaguars prowl on dry land, but apparently they dabble with water, too. Jaguar teamed up with powerboat racing specialist Vector and Williams Advanced Engineering to beat the existing British and world records for fastest battery-powered boat with some expertise from Jaguar's Formula E team. The team had to top 76.8 mph, a record set in 2008 by Helen Loney in her Firefly electric hydroplane with Agni motors. The attempt was made in the same location, Coniston Water in the English Lake District, where speedboat record runs have been made since the days of Sir Malcolm Campbell as early as the 1930s, and son Sir Donald Campbell into the 1950s and 1960s – including the fateful record attempt that cost the younger Campbell his life in 1967. The company's documented the attempt in the video shown above. It reveals that the 2008 record wasn't easy to beat. At first, pilot and Jaguar Vector co-founder Peter Dredge managed to get the boat to 76.6 mph – annoyingly close to, and just under, the record. But a later run rewarded the team's efforts, with a clear improvement of nearly 12 mph, making the new record 88.61 miles per hour. This achievement is also impressive considering that Jaguar and Vector only announced their partnership in October 2017, so progress has been swift. The tech in the boat is reportedly derived from Formula E technology, though Jaguar Vector and Williams Advanced Engineering have not disclosed the boat's exact specifications nor what parts are based on Jaguar Formula E car parts.

Lister introduces 666 hp, 208 mph limited edition Thunder
Sat, Feb 3 2018Lister is one of the most storied nameplates when it comes to Jaguar-based racing cars, with tons of Le Mans heritage on its shoulders. The company says it's Britain's oldest surviving racing car company. As well as racing cars, Lister has produced several road-going specials, such as the widened XJ-S derivative called Le Mans and the Storm, whose 7-liter V12-engine was not only based on the XJR-9 racing car, but also the biggest V12 engine fitted to a production car since WWII. Now, in addition to continuation specials like the reborn Knobbly, there is a new Lister on the market — boldly called the Thunder. The Thunder is based on the F-Type, but its supercharged 5-liter V8 has been re-engineered to reach 666 horsepower. It will reach 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, 100 mph in 6.8 seconds and go all the way to 208 mph. To compare a production F-Type SVR to the Thunder, the Jaguar-badged car has 99 less horsepower and takes half a second longer to hit 62 mph. There will only be 99 units built, and they are priced at almost $200,000 in the UK — we reached out to Lister for a confirmation whether the cars will be made available to U.S. buyers. But they are selling out soon, as Lister today announced that in the 24 hours since the unveiling of the Thunder, 22 customers already put in an order, worth in excess of $4.37 million. But the Thunder will be much more than a limited edition plaque in the dashboard (and that 99 extra horsepower); the paintwork and the interior will be bespoke to the specially built car. The modifications to turn an F-Type into a Lister Thunder will be carried out at Lister's historic facility in Cambridge, UK.

Land Rover could build a baby Defender on a platform sourced from BMW
Mon, Aug 12 2019The collaboration between BMW and Jaguar-Land Rover started out small, it was originally limited to motors for electric cars, but it might not stay that way for long. The Tata-owned British sister companies will allegedly rummage through Munich's sizable parts bin to build nearly half a dozen cars scheduled to come out during the 2020s. According to a report by British magazine Autocar, Jaguar has started designing two small cars that will join its growing family of Pace-badged soft-roaders. They'll be new additions to the firm's portfolio, not replacements for existing cars. One will be a regular crossover, while the other will be a swoopier, form-over-function four-door model ostensibly marketed as a coupe. Both will slot at the very bottom of the Jaguar portfolio, below the already pretty small E-Pace, in a growing market segment where the competition is fierce, and profit margins are thinner than an i3's tires. Here's where BMW apparently comes in. Instead of developing a platform from scratch, the two crossovers could ride on the hybrid-ready, front-wheel drive FAAR architecture found under the third-generation 1 Series hatchback and the upcoming 2 Series Gran Coupe. If we believe an earlier report claiming Jaguar and BMW will also share engines, most of the hardware found under the sheet metal will have German genes. All-wheel drive will certainly be available, and it could also come from BMW. The same platform -- and, presumably, the same engines -- would provide the basis for a Land Rover-badged model positioned in the same segment. Autocar learned it will be to the next-generation Defender (pictured) what the Mercedes-Benz GLB is to the G-Class. Some key design cues will carry over, but the two models will share absolutely nothing under the sheet metal. The soft-roader could resurrect the Freelander nameplate when it goes on sale during the 2020s. Looking even further ahead, the front-wheel-drive platform the next Mini Countryman and X1 will utilize could find its way under the replacements for the next Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport. These plans could very well change; the Evoque and the Disco Sport barely entered their second generation, so they're not due for a replacement until the second half of the coming decade. While neither company has confirmed or denied the report, the partnership makes sense from a business standpoint.
