1969 E TYPE JAGUAR 4.2 2+2 (LHD)


For Sale due to a change in work direction .  This is a 1969 series 2, 2+2 4.2litre in sable with beautiful tan leather. I found the car in America and could not resist it,  it was taken off the road by the previous owner in late 1977 (the 78 tax disc is still in the window).  It is a genuine rust free car from an American Dry State and doesn't appear to have any welding done. The guy who owned the car spent  20+ years buying new genuine parts and refurbished the whole car (comprehensive receipts to prove). He spent over $20k on new parts.  The car when parked up had done less that 30k miles,  after getting the car back to this country I thought the paintwork was looking dull so it was fully repainted and is now mot'd and taxed and drives well, The interior is unused and so in mint condition as you can see in the photographs. I think you would be looking for a very long time to find such a rust free low mileage 4.2. 

Please see my other auction as I am also selling the other E Type in the picture (Which will come under item number  130909489893)  After many years of searching I managed to find the car I had been looking for, it is a series 3 5.3 V12 convertible a genuine rhd, British, 39,000 miles with manual gearbox in red with black leather it is fitted as standard with power steering and drives beautifully! It drives as well as a modern car, it has just had a new clutch fitted. The paint is near perfect as is the hood etc, it is quite rare as Jaguar made less than 2000 rhd cars and a lot of these were auto or sent to Australia.  Therefore finding a genuine rhd British car and not one that has been re-imported and converted from lhd or auto was a challange.  It took me along time to find and to be truthful I don't want to sell it but needs must! The number plate 110 OFM is not included in the price but is negotiable at a later date.  This car does not appear to have ever had any welding done on it.  It is an original un-restored vehicle with just a re-spray.  

This/these cars can be delivered anywhere in the UK including any dock of your choice for shipping and export at a moderate cost.

Both cars are for sale seperately, but I would entertain a buy it now for both cars, to purchase both vehicles.

Please remember everyone's opinion of a vehicle is different.  If you bid you bid to buy not to view.  If you wish to view the vehicle please email or phone Dave on 07836250149.  Selling with low start price. Happy Bidding!

Jaguar says F-Type sales off to flying start

Fri, 31 May 2013

As we noted in our recent first drive, Jaguar's luscious new F-Type roadster is a bit of a tweener in both size and cost, lining up in between rival Porsche's Boxster and 911. That one-for-two-segment strategy is showing early signs of paying off, with Automotive News reporting that half of the car's 2014 production allotment is already sold. We're not talking huge numbers - sports cars in this segment only "have a global annual volume of about 75,000 units and a market share of 0.1 percent," notes Jaguar brand director Adrian Hallmark. Yet the company figures the F-Type will work out to about 15 to 20 percent of its total volume of around 60,000 units.
From where we sit, this is all very encouraging news, but it's way too early to call the F-Type a smash hit. The sports car segment is known for its fickleness and its front-loaded sales curve, so the real measure of success will be how it fares over the next few years after early adopters get their cars. Jaguar will have to work to keep the F-Type fresh with new variants, and we hear it's prepared to do just that. The British luxury marque hasn't confirmed a hardtop coupe variant yet, but patent images and spy shots suggest one is on the way shortly, and it ought to extend the model's appeal greatly. A four-cylinder option and a manual transmission have also been rumored, and presumably Jaguar will eventually launch higher-performance R and R-S variants as it has done with various model lines, including its other sporty two door, the XK grand tourer.

Jaguar Land Rover names ousted Renault boss as new CEO

Tue, Jul 28 2020

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has picked ousted Renault boss Thierry Bollore as its next chief executive, with a mission to return Britain's biggest carmaker to profit after a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Bollore took over at Renault in January 2019 after the fall of Carlos Ghosn, but was always viewed as close to the French carmaker's longtime boss and was pushed out in October when the company was looking for a fresh start. Bollore will take over at JLR on Sept. 10, replacing Ralf Speth, whose tenure ends after more than 10 years. "It will be my privilege to lead this fantastic company through what continues to be the most testing time of our generation," Bollore said in a statement on Tuesday. JLR was hit this year first by disruption to sales in China and then by lockdowns across Europe and North America as the COVID-19 outbreak spread around the globe. In 2019, it cut jobs to address tumbling diesel sales, which helped it return to profit. But as the pandemic struck, it slumped to a pretax loss of 422 million pounds ($545 million) for the year ended March 31, 2020. The company has already taken steps to tackle the crisis, including agreeing to a loan facility of around $700 million with lenders in China and further staff reductions. JLR is also in talks with the British government over potential support, according to media reports. Bollore takes over a business that built just over 500,000 cars in 2019/20. He faces a number of tasks, including how to handle the Jaguar brand, which underperforms the Land Rover marque, how quickly to electrify its lineup and a potential hit from Brexit if trade barriers are imposed. JLR has a partnership with BMW on electrification, and parent company Tata Motors recently recommitted to the company. "Tata Group recognizes and values Jaguar Land Rover's future potential highly," said JLR Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran earlier this month. "That is why this company is central to our global automotive presence – a presence that we intend to develop for years to come."

2019 Jaguar I-Pace First Drive Review | The future is now

Wed, Jun 13 2018

Jaguar's new all-electric I-Pace may be one of the brand's most significant breakthroughs. This is not just because the handsomely muscular all-wheel-drive crossover can travel 240 miles on a single charge to its 90 kWh battery. Or because it will cost a competitive $69,500 before federal and state incentives. Or that it can accelerate from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds — about as quickly as Jaguar's V8 F-Type sports car. It is not even because it may be the first vehicle to feature a small "froot" — "front boot" — which is a hideous British English term for the area known by the equally unappealing American neologism "frunk." The I-Pace ranks high in the Jag insurrective pantheon because it is the first truly competitive all-electric vehicle from a major luxury manufacturer to hit the entirety of the American market since Tesla jump-started (ugh!) the contemporary, fancy, battery-powered vehicle campaign back in 2008. Sure, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, BMW, and others have promised these vehicles, but as far as we know, they don't exist, and we haven't driven them. The best news about the Big Electric Cat is that it's actually enjoyable on the road. Some of this is because of its intrinsic design benefits. The heavy battery pack, housed in the floor, contributes to a low center of gravity as well as ideal 50/50 front/rear mass balance. Both of these aid not only in the vehicle's road-holding capabilities, but in its style of holding the road. Jaguar has always been adept at splitting the suspension difference between German plank and American couch, and the I-Pace follows this general trend, providing a ride that is connected without feeling overly harsh, even on the optional 22-inch wheels and Pirelli P-Zero tires. (Note to self: Reserve the Instagram handle Donk-E.) But the I-Pace does something interesting. Due to its high seating position, and the low placement of its drivetrain components, it provides the sensation that the mechanical action of forward momentum is within the driver's direct and immediate control, but taking place elsewhere. There is no delay, or vagueness — the inputs are precise and it goes where you want and expect. But it induces the odd feeling that you are riding atop a maglev hovercraft. It's futuristic, uncanny, and fun.
