Jaguar E-type 1968 Convertible on 2040-cars
Bend, Oregon, United States
I am selling my cherished Jaguar E-Type after 7 years of summer only driving. The Jag was restored between 1998 - 2000 and in again 2008. It has been driven only in the summer, never in the rain. The body was fully restored using Martin Robey panels. The interior was completely replaced with a complete interior kit from Bartlet of Ohio. The engine received a top-end rebuild. Engine is fed by 3 SU's fully rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics. All bright work has either been replaced or re-chromed. The Jag was restored to originally specifications with the exception of the following modifications: gear reduction starter, new Cool Cat fans, contemporary sound, Mallory electronic ignition and spin-off oil filter. This car is an above average driver and will be a real joy to the new owner as it has been for me. The Jag has taken first place in multiple car shows. During the 2008 work, the clutch was replaced, the hand brake assembly was completely rebuilt and new brakes were installed all around. Also in 2008 the original 5" chrome wires were in poor shape and were replaced by 6" Hendrix wires with new chrome knock-offs and new Pirelli tires, all body panels were pulled and repainted by Autowerks; the switches and gauges were replaced or made operable, all seals, hoses, clamps, rubber etc. were replaced. Car maintains perfect factory oil pressure, water temperature and idle RPM. Engine block stamp # is 7R108629, body picture frame # is 1E17618. I have over $40,000 in repair/rebuild invoices from 2008-2009. Feel free to email or call me with questions peter@lowescp.com (541)788-2444.

2014 Jaguar XFR-S super sedan is 550-HP worth of cool
Wed, 28 Nov 2012The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S was considered last year, teased last week and now has been totally let loose. The most powerful sedan the company has ever made and the newest addition to its line of R-S performance cars - following the XKR-S - and we'll be getting even fewer of them than we thought. 200 had been the rumored allotment for the US, but the official word now is that we'll see just 100.
Each XFR-S will use the same 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that powers the XKR-S, meaning a 40-horsepower and 41-pound-foot bump over the XFR for 550 hp and 502 lb-ft in total. Shifting through the adaptive, eight-speed ZF transmission gets it from standstill to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, but for all that, it gets the same gas mileage as the XFR, aided by its stop/start system, and so doesn't get hit with a gas guzzler tax.
Other XKR-S bits have made the jump, including an upgraded suspension front and rear, the near-straight pipes for the cracking exhaust note we drank up like ambrosia and twenty-inch, six-spoke lightweight wheels that are an inch wider than on the XFR. Lateral stiffness is up 30 percent, the electronic systems have been recalibrated to handle the extra oomph, throttle response has been sharpened and can be made even sharper by going into Dynamic Mode.
Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
