1974 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Essex, Massachusetts, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: florencefbboal@1mum.com . Rust free 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 OTS convertible roadster
Mild custom with 427 Short Block Chevrolet crate engine and T10 4 speed manual.
This roadster is from Southern California, imported to Canada in 2003 with mileage of 31,298. Kept warm and dry
since and the mileage today is 37,575
Straight and rust free. The body and paint are in good condition with some imperfections.
Robbins soft top was installed in 2004 and is in good overall condition with exception to one noticeable nick in
it. Interior and lower console need refurbishment work.
This roadster had a 350 Chev in it when purchased by the previous owner and the original engine and transmission
were not available. The previous owner spent significant time, money, and effort completing a 427 SBC transplant.
This crate engine comes complete with Dart block, custom crank, rods and pistons, CNC port matched edelbrock intake
and aluminium heads, and custom 1 3/4" headers. The previous owner stated that no cutting welding or drilling was
done in the process – I can’t be sure so I’ll let the pictures do the talking. Brand new clutch hydraulic
actuator installed.
More recently an inspection was completed with request to provide a detailed list of items to address, and the
following items were listed:
Engine tune up
Door adjustment
Incorrect wiper blades
Hood safety latch needs adjusting
Heater fan not working
Window washer not working
High beam, parking, and hazard lights not working
Fuel return line not working (currently operating as returnless), and leak detected at line coupling
One horn working, and the other not working
LH header close to P/S fitting
Oil leak L/R engine
Engine/trans/and exhaust mounts require isolation
Brake squeal
Ball joint + bushings all around
Rad fan not functioning. Thermo switch not currently connected
Replace brake flex hoses and fix brake and fuel lines to body
Although drive-able, this Jaguar needs some attention to get it over the finish line.
The direction I was planning on was in Jaguar purist fashion to fit the period correct series 1 V12 and Borg Warner
auto which can be sourced cost effectively from an early XJ12 or alternatively a donor S3 E-type 2+2, and funded
partially by selling existing engine and transmission. As the story goes, with family commitments time is the
hardest thing to come by. The decision is to move on prior to getting in too deep and the next owner can decide
which direction to take this Jaguar. That said I would like another classic I can deal with local mechanics to
maintain. Got any interesting trades along the lines of air cooled Porsche 911, 928 GTS, Mercedes, Aston, Sunbeam
Tiger, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, Ferrari 308 328 Testarossa?
E-Type Series 1's seems to be skyrocketing in value with roadsters being the most collectible. Series 2 and 3
E-Types are following suit. So what you have here is an affordable opportunity to purchase an E-Type OTS to which
your effort is worthwhile.

2016 Jaguar F-Type prowls the floor with new manual and AWD options
Thu, Nov 20 2014The Jaguar F-Type has become an instant enthusiast favorite for its alluring design, powerful, sonorous engines and rewarding handling. In short, it's a worthy successor to the iconic mid-century E-Type. But Jaguar hasn't been sitting idly, and it's continuing to refine and enhance the F-Type with subtle yet significant enhancements, including a bunch that are debuting this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The 2016 model year brings with it all-wheel drive, which will be standard on 550-horsepower F-Type R models. AWD will be optional on mid-level F-Type S models, which run the 380-hp V6. The system sends all of the supercharged engine's torque to the rear axle in default mode, but it can also be split with up to 50 percent going to the front axle when needed. Jaguar has even added subtle visual differentiators to the the AWD models, fitting them with body-colored sills and a new hood design. The penalty? the AWD system adds about 176 pounds to the curb weight. The F-Type also gets an available six-speed manual transmission for 2016 on V6 variants with rear-wheel drive. While obviously adding a more interactive driving character, the close-ratio manual is about 22 pounds lighter than the automatic gearbox. Jaguar has also given all F-Type models electric power steering, using a stiffer steering shaft to maintain the hydraulic setup's connected feel with the road. The 2016 models will be available in the spring, and pricing will be announced closer to launch. 2016 F-TYPE Gains All Wheel Drive and Manual Transmission Options – The 2016 model year Jaguar F-TYPE sports car receives new powertrain and driveline options – A six-speed manual transmission option will be available in rear-wheel drive V6 models – Instinctive All Wheel Drive® (AWD) extends the performance and dynamic capability of the F-TYPE – The 550hp F-TYPE R is now available in both Coupe or Convertible – All F-Type R models receive AWD as standard equipment, enabling 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
Jaguar XJ220 leaps into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, Feb 15 2016Having sadly canceled the C-X75 project and sat out today's hybrid hypercar race, it would be all too easy to forget about Jaguar as a supercar manufacturer altogether. But back in the early '90s, the British automaker didn't just play in the supercar game – it dominated it. The XJ220 was, for a time, the fastest car in the world. Jay Leno pays tribute in this latest video. Originally envisioned with a V12 engine and all-wheel drive, the XJ220 ultimately surfaced with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 driving the rear wheels alone. None of that kept it from eclipsing the top speed achieved by every supercar that came before with a terminal velocity that didn't quite reach the 220 miles per hour initially promised, but came pretty darn close. The disappointment in the change of specification lead some to dismiss the XJ220 as a failure, but it was still the fastest thing on the road until another British supercar (in the form of the McLaren F1) took its place at the pinnacle of automotive bragging rights. Two decades later, Jaguar quite nearly drove down the same road when its initial plans for the C-X75 changed from an experimental turbine powertrain to a multi-charged inline-four. Only this time the Leaping Cat marque didn't put it into production at all, save for a few prototypes and movie props – which is a bit of a shame, and then some. Watching Jay speed down memory lane in the supercar that almost never was, we're glad that Jaguar still built the XJ220, and saddened that it never followed up with another groundbreaking supercar today.
