Offered for sale, here on Ebay, by KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS, is a 1966 Jaguar E-type 2+2 coupe. This car was recently discovered in the San Diego area of California and was purchased from only the second owner. He purchased the car in the early 1970's and held the car in his possession for over the past 40 years! There are a few receipts in his name dated around the mid 70's... It is a very well-preserved, honest, original car that has a full matching numbers drivetrain. The factory air conditioning equipment in the engine compartment was removed early in it's life, but was saved and is included with the sale of the car (picture).
 It is a very good running and driving car having benefitted from much recent mechanical work. This included a full braking system rebuild (front and rear calipers rebuilt in stainless steel, new master cylinder, servo, flex lines, pads, etc.), ignition system tune up, radiator rodding out, new cooling hoses, a complete fuel system service, new tires fitted and balanced on very nice chrome wheels, and an engine oil/filter/lube. As a result, the car starts quickly on the button with no smoke, has excellent oil pressure, and runs and drives very well with good acceleration and pickup. The gearbox shifts well with no issues. Some tappets could use some fine adjustment. But a very good driving car overall with no known mechanical issues. 
This Jaguar left the factory in it's original color of Primrose Yellow with black trim. The engine compartment, framerails, and spare tire area still show signs of the original paint. The body on the car is very good to excellent overall, with only a couple scrapes and dings. All of the panels open and close well. The modest repaint is showing it's age in some areas with an area lifting in the middle of the hood and on the hatchlid. The chrome and glass appears to be decent and original. 
The interior trim on the car is completely original and unrestored. Original leather to the front and rear seats, original carpets, door and quarter panels, Jaguar seat belts,etc. The headliner material has been removed. Some items could be saved and revived, others replaced. The dashboard switches and instruments appear functioning and all original. 
Overall, a very nice, usable, matching numbers Series One 2+2 for easy improvement. This car offers the desirable and original triple carb setup mated to the 4.2 engine, covered glass headlamps, and other attractive Series One features. It is a very good, honest car with over $3700 recently spent on mechanical improvements to make it  roadworthy. This car is located in Southern California and is sold with a clear California title. It can be viewed by appointment. $27,900.

Evo pits Jaguar XKR-S vs. Mercedes SL63 AMG in heavyweight droptop fight

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

We recently received the sad news that the Jaguar XK is ceasing production by the end of the year, but what better way to bid it farewell than with some big, smoky powerslides? The retirement of the sporty GT isn't actually the topic of the latest video from Evo - it's on hand to compete against the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG to see which is faster around a track. Still, we can think of it as a wonderful sendoff for the Jag.
Both convertible grand tourers get their laps around the course, and they couldn't be more different. Driver Jethro Bovingdon gets some grins out of them both, but absolutely giggles while behind the wheel of the XKR-S convertible. The SL63 AMG is the more powerful of the two, but as we know, that doesn't always matter at a racetrack. You'll just have to scroll down and watch the video to see which of them is actually the winner.

Watch new Jaguar XF perform a literal high-wire act

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Coming out with a new luxury sedan can be a truly daunting prospect. Make it too edgy and you'll risk disenfranchising what can often be a rather conservative customer base. Make it too conservative and you may fail to attract enough new customers or generate enough interest to make the endeavor worthwhile. Whether Jaguar succeeded in walking that thin line with the new XF is a matter of personal taste, blending as it does elements from the smaller XE and the outgoing XF it replaces. But in launching the new model, Jaguar didn't just pull of a figurative high-wire act – it did quite a literal one. To drum up support for its newest debut, Jaguar undertook the stunt depicted in the video above, stringing a pair of carbon-fiber cables some 60 feet above the River Thames in London. With some guide wires and counterbalance weights to keep it all in check, and a motion-picture stunt crew orchestrating it all, the new XF drove over 780 feet from one bank of the river to the other, setting a new world record in the process. Instead of thinking too hard about the whys (seriously, though... why?) and hows, we suggest you just watch the video above. Related Video:

Jay Leno checks out a replica 1937 Jaguar SS100

Tue, Nov 3 2015

This 1937 Jaguar SS100 might be fantastic, but it's not an original. It's a replica, but one built to exacting standards and the original design. And it stopped by Jay Leno's Garage for a quick spin. The original was built by SS Cars Ltd, the precursor of the company we know today as Jaguar – and which changed its name and logo after WWII for reasons that shouldn't require explanation. There were only a few hundred of them made between 1936 and 1940, but they remain a popular choice among recreation manufacturers. Many of those replica constructors are based out of the UK, but this particular example is the work of one Jason Len, head of XKs Unlimited out of San Luis Obispo, CA. Len and company will produce a turnkey replica of the pre-war Jag convertible starting at $170,000. Which may seem like an awful lot for a replica, but that price may seem entirely reasonable when you see all the attention that goes in to building one. Watch the video above to see for yourself.
