Have you ever wanted to own a car that people just couldn't help but stare at? Never mind other people, have you ever owned a car that when you parked it and walked away you felt compelled to turn around and look at it just one more time... and then again? This is that car!

This is a two owner, numbers matching, '71 E Type Series 2 Convertible with only 24000 miles. It is the ultimate eye catching color combo of red with black, and comes with the ultra rare and valuable factory hard top.

I own a classic car repair shop and drive a lot of beautiful old cars but none turns heads like this car!

My shop has serviced this car for about 8 years. Our customer who has owned this car since the early '80s is leaving the country and sadly cannot take it with him. The most recent work performed was the removal of the engine and trans to replace the clutch. While the engine was out all external seals on the engine were replaced. The engine was cleaned and painted, and anything that needed to be addressed, was.

Here is a list of some of the work done in the last few years, all within very low mileage:

-Seats were completely redone - frames blasted and painted, new foams, lumbar strappings and leather covers

-All new fluids, belts, plugs, hoses, brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder,

- Body gaskets were replaced (except windshield and bonnet cowl - did not need it)

- 5 new Coker redlines, 1 brand new Dayton Wire in trunk for spare ( the four wheels on car are the original Dunlops)

- Every chrome screw, nut, bolt, latch, hook, trim piece, bezel etc has been removed, cleaned and polished

- All the instruments have been disassembled and cleaned so they're crystal clear

- Rebuilt front calipers, new brake hoses

- And much, much more!

We have thoroughly gone through this car to ensure everything is working properly so its new owner can enjoy the best of what an E Type can offer. In our opinion, the Series 2s are the best driving 6 cylinder E Types incorporating all the modifications to increase reliabilty and durability. They have much bigger brakes, bigger radiator, better fans etc.

The owner told us the car was being transported back in the '80s in a covered trailer when it came loose and shifted causing some minor damage resulting in the single repaint. As near as we can tell, the car retains all of its original panels. There are no signs of crash damage or "bondo". There are, however, some scrapes and dents under the front of the bonnet and the rear tail section most of which resulting from the owner's very steep driveway. These are obvious with the car up on the lift but as you can see in the pictures they are not at all obvious on the ground.

The paint is in good shape for a 30+ year old paint job but in some areas there's some minute bubbles in the paint. Most people wouldn't notice these until they're pointed out. Again, they're so taken by its beauty.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to set up an appointment to view the car.

Land Rover wins legal battle over Evoque clone Land Wind X7

Fri, Mar 22 2019

Luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, part of Tata Motors Ltd, said it won a case in China against local rival Jiangling Motors Corp for making cars that copy features of Range Rover Evoque. Beijing Chaoyang District Court said on Friday that Evoque, whose latest model was launched in 2018, had five unique features that were copied directly in the Land Wind X7 built by Jiangling Motors, leading to widespread consumer confusion. The court ruled that all sales, manufacturing and marketing of the Land Wind X7 must stop immediately and Jaguar Land Rover be paid compensation. The two sports utility vehicles have a similar shape, with the roof and windows tapering from front to back, and near-identical tail lights and character lines on the side panelling. Britain's biggest carmaker had sued Jiangling in a rare move in 2016. Despite widespread and often blatant copying, global automakers generally don't take legal action in China as they feel the odds of winning against local firms are low. Also, a lawsuit can be bad for branding if the Chinese public think a foreign company is bullying domestic competitors. The new Range Rover Evoque will be launched in China in April 2019. Jiangling could not be immediately reached for comment.

Jaguar Land Rover names new manufacturing chief for EV transformation

Thu, May 3 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is replacing its director for manufacturing as it prepares its plants for an electrified future, the firm said on Thursday. JLR operates three factories in its home market but is building its first electric car, the I-PACE, in Austria. The Indian-owned automaker's Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters earlier this year he is waiting for more information on trading conditions after Brexit before he decides whether to make electric cars in Britain. On Thursday, he said Executive Director for Manufacturing Wolfgang Stadler is retiring from the business, to be replaced by Director of Quality and Automotive Safety Grant McPherson starting July 1. "He will oversee the ongoing investment into our UK and global manufacturing, transforming our plants to enable Jaguar Land Rover's exciting electrified future," Speth said.

Jaguar teases E-Pace crossover details - and price under $40K

Wed, Jun 21 2017

So it turns out we'll be seeing the fully revealed Jaguar E-Pace much sooner than we expected. Jaguar announced the debut will occur on July 13, so we're less than a month away. The company also provided a teaser of the E-Pace's tail. It shows a fat rear fender and Jaguar's trademark taillight design. While many other companies would be content to release a teaser and nothing else, Jaguar actually provided a number of other interesting details. Among them is the powertrain. It will only be available with gasoline-powered engines and all-wheel drive. We're expecting it to use roughly the same powertrain combinations as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The other big details are pricing and availability. The baby Jaguar SUV starts at $39,595, which is over $3,000 less than the entry-level F-Pace and the Range Rover Evoque. You'll also be able to bring one home from the dealer next year. Related Video: Image Credit: Jaguar Jaguar Crossover SUV Luxury jaguar e-pace
