1972 Jaguar E-type Series III V12 Roadster
Please

MotorCarTrader.com is thrilled to present this special, early model 1972 Jaguar E-type Series III V12 Roadster. This car was built on March 27 of 1972. This was the 274th Jaguar E-type Series III OTS (Open Two Seater) LHD car produced. This great Jaguar was dispatched on April 14 of 1972. The original colors of this great car are Signal red with Black interior. This is a matching numbers car. We sold this car in 2001 and recently acquired back from the owner who had the car since 2001 (we sold this car to him in 2001). He placed about 1,500 miles on the car since (from October 2001 to November 2013). Prior to his ownership (pre 2001), the car was in a large collection until our initial purchase in 2001.
This truly is one of the nicer upper level driver V12 Roadsters you will find anywhere. As we understand, it was restored on an excellent original car prior to our initial ownership in 2001 and driven sparingly since. The previous owner was unable to drive this car and it sat for about a year before we purchased the car back in the fall of 2013. Below are some of the work we did to the car and work done by a Jaguar V12 specialist. Also, more details on this truly excellent Jaguar E-type Roadster:
A new complete stainless steel exhaust system installed with a new quad fantail (resonator) in chrome.
New electronic ignition installed with new champion plugs, new coil, new rotor, new ignition pick up and new cap.
Fuel drained and Stromberg carburetors completely rebuilt with new floats and carb rebuilt kits.
New (original type) Electronic Fuel pump installed.
Cooling system drained. New water tank installed and fresh coolant added.
New thermostat installed.
New rebuilt AC compressor installed with new hoses.
FREON Level Charged and checked for leaks. Blows cold AC.
New Clutch master cylinder installed and system bled.
New transmission mount installed.
Koni Shocks installed.
Underside, floors, rear end and pan completely degreased before new SS exhaust install. The underside was then, cleaned, detailed and re-sprayed (pictures available before and after).
All switches, gauges and wiring gone through.
New rubber floor mats.
Valve Cover gaskets replaced as well as the Cam Towers resealed to prevent oil leaking on manifolds and exhaust (a common problem for v12 e-types which will lead to smoking). Valves were inspected at this time. New water outlet o’rings installed.
The engine is excellent with great compression of 155 to 165 psi across all 12 cylinders. A lot of V12s do not have this consistent compression across all 12 cylinders and this engine is very, very strong. The oil pressure is 60 to 70 pounds when the engine is warm.
Matching numbers car as per the Heritage Certificate and Original color combination of Signal Red with black interior.
A rare earlier model without big, ugly, black rubber bumpers.
The earlier engines and cars (like this one) had higher 9:1 compression. In October of 1972 and after, all USA and Canadian cars received low compression pistons and in September 1973 all cars had new camshafts with changed cam profiles. This car was produced before these changes.
The car runs and drives exceptional. It is very fast and tight. This E-type handles great and is a pleasure to drive. Steering is easy, the clutch feels great and the car shifts beautifully with no noise in any of the gears.
The paint on the car is excellent with a few minor chips and a few minor wear marks. We have driven this car, it is meant to be driven, a higher end drive and not a show/trailer queen. The interior is also excellent with minimal wear. The original steering wheel does show some patina and gives the car nice character. The soft top and boot are vinyl. Though they are not new, they function fine with no tears or shrinkage.
All chrome is also beautiful and looks great.
This car does not rust and the original floors are excellent from both the top side and underside.
Overall, this is a great higher end driver level Jaguar E-type V12 Roadster. It would be hard to replicate this car both cosmetically, structurally and mechanically as this car is truly right and an absolute blast to drive. Earlier model V12 roadster are becoming harder and harder to find in this condition. This is a great investment car to own and enjoy.

"I love this car." So said Jaguar designer Ian Callum, quite genuinely, as the Jaguar F-Pace SVR drove onto the stage at the company's new headquarters in Mahwah, N.J. Despite accepting and even embracing Jaguar's decision to produce SUVs, it's quite obvious (because he says so repeatedly) that Callum is still a guy with a lust for high-powered sports cars. The F-Pace SVR melds these two elements to create something he gleefully describes as "ridiculous." Boasting Jaguar Land Rover's now-familiar supercharged 5.0-liter V8, the SVR produces 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. Jag estimates it'll hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 176 mph, which will make it one of the quickest and fastest SUVs on the road when it arrives in dealerships this summer. View 15 Photos It's not just the big engine, however. Upgraded mechanical improvements and enhancements include stiffer springs, wider and lighter forged alloy wheels (21- or 22 inches), bigger brakes (15.5-inch front, 15.6-inch rear), an electronic active rear differential, a variable active exhaust that's 14.5 pounds lighter than the standard one, and specially tuned software for the adaptive suspension, electric steering, eight-speed automatic, all-wheel drive and Dynamic Driving Mode. Callum's team also massaged the aerodynamics with larger air intakes, rear bumper side strakes, and fender vents that lower pressure in the wheel arches to reduce lift and increase cooling. A unique hood features vents designed to, well, vent hot air from the engine compartment. There are also wheel arch extensions and lower body moldings to create a more muscular appearance, while the rear sees fat quad tailpipes that one would assume should bark and burp like any good Jaguar SVR. Inside, there are thinner, light-weight sport seats done up in snazzy quilted leather. The rear seat also gets sportier seats with a similar fixed headrest design as those up front. The pistol-like sport gear selector shifter, as used in the Jaguar F-Type, replaces the standard rotary shifter design. It still takes up way too much room on the center console. Pricing starts at $80,985. One would assume Mr. Callum will gets his for less than that. Related Video:

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors Ltd expects to shed about 1,100 temporary jobs at Jaguar Land Rover after it raised the cost-cutting target at its luxury unit by 1 billion pounds ($1.26 billion) to ride out the disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Tata Motors expects to save 5 billion pounds in costs by March 2021 at its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, the Indian automaker's Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on Monday, adding 3.5 billion pounds of the savings had already been achieved. It will also reduce capital expenditure at JLR to 2.5 billion pounds for the current fiscal year, from the more than 3 billion pounds it has spent annually in previous years. "Conserving cash and prioritizing capital expenditure, and targeting investment spending to the right areas is our focus," Balaji told reporters, after the company posted a fourth quarter loss. We anticipate that up to 1,100 agency employees will be affected, a JLR spokeswoman said in a separate statement. Tata Motors is reviewing all its businesses and would consider exiting those that do not add strategic value, as part of a broader effort to save 60 billion rupees ($789 million) in its domestic business in the fiscal year to 2021. The automaker on Monday posted a consolidated fourth quarter net loss of 98.94 billion rupees, as coronavirus lockdowns across its markets ravaged sales, including at JLR. Total revenue from operations fell 27.7% to 624.93 billion rupees in the quarter, which ended March 31. JLR, which contributes the bulk of Tata Motors' revenues, reported a pre-tax loss of 501 million pounds for the period after it took a hit of 800 million pounds because of the novel coronavirus, Balaji said. He said there were signs sales were recovering in China, one of JLR's biggest markets, as well as in the United States and in Europe, with strong orders for Land Rover's sport-utility vehicle Defender and Range Rover's Evoque. JLR's boss Ralf Speth, who has led the company since 2010, will step down from his role at the end of his contract term in September.

We routinely argue over which car is best here at Autoblog (if you don’t believe me check out some of our comparison tests), and while looks are subjective, when someone like Enzo Ferrari calls a vehicle “the most beautiful car ever made” itÂ’s hard to argue against it. The Series 1 Jaguar E-Type is indeed undeniably gorgeous, as well as iconic, and Omaze is giving away an immaculately restored 1963 example. Win a 1963 Jaguar XKE and $20,000 - Enter at Omaze This E-Type comes with an upgraded five-speed manual transmission, “its original wire-spoke wheels, luxurious leather interior and signature 3.8-liter inline-six-cylinder engine,” which makes 265 horsepower. That is modest by todayÂ’s standards but certainly not the case nearly 60 years ago. Its gorgeous black exterior and caramel leather interior will be sure to turn heads no matter what street youÂ’re driving down and with the $20,000 in cash included, the total value of this prize is nearly a quarter million dollars. YouÂ’re probably asking yourself, what does it take to win? Well, first of all there is no donation or purchase necessary to enter, though your odds dramatically increase if you do: $10 will get you 100 entries in this giveaway, while $50 will get you 1,000 entries and $100 will get you 2,000 entries. The donations themselves benefit The PrinceÂ’s Trust, which, according to Omaze, “helps young people develop the confidence and skills they need to realize their ambitions. Founded by The Prince of Wales in 1976, the charity supports youth who are unemployed, struggling at school and at risk of exclusion. Their programming aims to give vulnerable young people the practical and financial support they need to stabilize their lives, helping develop self-esteem and skills for work. This summer The PrinceÂ’s Trust marked helping 1 million young people, and is committed to supporting a further million over the next decade.” If you want this opportunity to own this nearly sixty-year old piece of iconic automotive history, enter here.
