I have enjoyed having this Jag for th last six or seven years. It has been a driving project you might say. I replaced all of the ignition parts and it has run excellant every  since. I replaced the head liner and it looks great. I changed the color from a Tan ,  to British racing green. I did this myself, I think the door wells turned out OK , but the main body paint spray did not. There is some over spray and some runs in the paint . I had to fix only some minor rust. A small spot around the left quarter panel , and small spots around the front and rear wind screens. But as you can see from the pics. its a solid example. Every thing works except the cruise control , and the heating and A/C vents . The AC compressor works and is still making the the A/C lines cold, but the vent control is not directing the air properly. From my research I found there is a controller for the vents , that would need to be replaced.  Sun roof works great . The exhaust will need attention. There are some small rust holes you can hear , so it will need attention to pass inspection, but I would not hesitate to drive the car anywere. The tires still have  a lot of tread left  . Im selling to move on to other fun projects . No Reserve .....Thanks for looking

Today  on 5/29/13.  I started the car and turned on the A/C mode and the vents moved to the proper position , and now it is blowing cold air as it should...........It seems somthing was stuck.....thanks

50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
