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.

Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise

Wed, Aug 9 2023

No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
Scroll down to see how it all plays out on video.

2014 Jaguar XFR-S super sedan is 550-HP worth of cool

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

The 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.
