Muncie Imports & Classics is proud to offer for auction this very nice 1962 Jaguar E-Type OTS 3.8L. This is a late 62 and has the drop floorpans. The current owner has owned the car since the late 80’s. This is a number matching car. It is very well detailed and most everything is done in factory correct colors but has not been over finished to the point where it can't be driven. The owner was a JCNA member and participated frequently in local Jaguar club shows.

1) The car underwent a restoration in the early 90’s. At that time several body panels were replaced including but not limited to a full door, a door skin and a brand new complete bonnet. It was then repainted red (was originally grey) and undercoated. The paint still looks good for a driver but isn’t perfect Concours show winning paint.

2) The black interior was replaced at the same time it was repainted. It’s still in good condition but does show some minor wear. No rips or tears could be found. The top was also replaced with the interior and is a high quality stayfast cloth top by Bassett Jaguar. It’s still in fine condition.

3) To our knowledge and the owner’s knowledge the engine has never been overhauled. It does leak oil from the usual spots but runs very well with no bad noises.

4) The gearbox was replaced with a synchronized 4.2L gearbox but the owner still has the number matching original non-syncro Moss gearbox.

5) In 2009 the car took a slight hit on the RH front headlamp area. We did the repair work here. The chrome headlamp ring was damaged and repaired and re-chromed. We also replaced the bonnet beading chrome strip on the RH side. The metal below and to the side of the headlamp was straightened, repainted and the paint blended.

6) The owner doesn’t recall exactly when the tires were replaced but thinks they’re around 20 years old. Plan on new tires if you buy this.

7) The radio does not work but is original for the car.

8) Included is a full tool kit and original jack.

9) The owner doesn’t remember ever replacing the clutch but it may have been before he bought the car.

10) The battery was replaced 10/2011

11) This car has been running silicone brake fluid since the mid 90’s.

12) From our inspection of the car the front suspension control arm bushings need replaced.

13) The brake master cylinder was replaced in 2007.

14) Both sides rear wheel bearings were replaced in 2005.

15) All of the coolant hoses were replaced in 2002.

16) The boot lid (trunk lid) hinge springs are worn out or broken. The boot lid won’t stay open by itself.

All in this is a very nice driving car and is ready for some summer fun right now. It has always enjoyed being stored in a heated garage and was only driven in nice weather. The owner has won several shows in the driven class. If you’re looking for a early E-Type that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg then this may be the car for you! Feel free to call either Chuck or Tom to see the car personally or test drive it. 800-462-4244

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.

Look for Jaguar C-X75 in your new James Bond Scalextric set

Sat, Jan 24 2015

Scalextric, the slot-car racing set, has produced sets themed around James Bond films for years. You can get the Range Rover from Skyfall, the Alfa Romeo from Quantum of Solace, the DBS from Casino Royale, and almost all of the sets include the Aston Martin DB5; there was a limited-edition three-car series of DB5s around the movie Goldeneye, back in 1995. They'll be doing it again for the coming Spectre film, Pocket-lint.com saying that the set will come later this year and looks like it will include the Jaguar C-X75. That treat, as well as the DB10, haven't been completed for the toy set yet because they haven't been finalized for the film. A new DB5 run will be available for the garage, limited to 4,500 units and featuring a manually raised rear shield and an automatic ejector seat triggered if the car bumps a bollard along the track during feisty driving. The expected price is 100 pounds ($152 US), which includes track, and it should be out sometime before the movie arrives in theaters in November.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
