Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : yajairahinze@juno.com .2nd owner, bought car in 1993 with about 59,300 miles on it. I am only person to drive the car after purchase.
Have driven the car on weekends. This is the 3rd Series 3 that I have owned. Replaced many parts on the car, not
because they were broken, but because working on it was a hobby. As much as possible, all original equip has been
used on car since purchase. Decided to do some restoration in 2004, so car was not driven for several years. Car
has been driven less than 300 miles since down to the metal prep and painted original regency red. Doors
disassembled & inside painted, new glass guides/rubber, window & latch hardware reworked, If an item was removed
to access something else, then the removed item was often replaced during reassembly. Ron Davis alum radiator with
fans, car cools, even in 95 degrees - factory radiator/fans come with car. Stainless exhaust (has 73 style tips,
sorry). Engine was refreshed, new bearings, valve job, new timing chain components. The rear main engine seal was
leaking slightly, so just rebuilt the motor when replacing the seal including new engine seals and gaskets. New
wiring harness forward of firewall. Rebuilt starter. Gas tank removed and cleaned, replaced gauge/gaskets.
Replaced fuel pump with factory type. New shocks front and rear with new springs on rear. New master cylinder. New
heater box & controls. New parking brake cable, new accelerator cable, new brake and accelerator pedals, New
reservoir bottles for clutch and brake fluid. New clutch, pressure plate & clutch controls. Rebuilt transmission
when motor was out, new syncs, new jack shaft etc. New brake pads, including parking brake. New front wheel
bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, amplifier is after market that works when hot, Working ORIGINAL radio. All
gauges work. Leather on seats is not perfect, but not worn. Remainder of cabin is in excellent condition. New
carpet, even in the rear area of cabin. All chrome on exterior is new or has been re-chromed in past 3 years -
even the chrome on top of windshield posts. Wire Dayton wheels are new but match factory (spare wheel and tire are
original) New windshield with rubber. New canvas soft top with all rubber. Newly painted hard top with car, good
rubber & chrome, headliner needs attention, but not loose. Converted to full synthetic engine oil, transmission
grease and Dot 5 brake fluid.
The items listed above are not all that has been done to the auto, just some of them. Known issues, the AC was not
recharged after the paint job The frame and some of under carriage was not repainted, but was cleaned as
mechanical work completed. Bit of work would turn this car into a show car or it is great driver - though its
excellent condition might make someone afraid to take it into traffic

Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker

Sat, 02 Aug 2014



There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.

This mule is the first evidence Jaguar is working on a 3 Series fighter

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Rumors of an entry-level, BMW 3 Series-fighting Jaguar sedan have been floating around for quite some time, but thanks to our intrepid spy photographers, we now have visible proof that such a model is, in fact, in the works.
Despite this tester's XF fittings, it's clear that what lies beneath is an entirely different beast. The doors have been shortened, roofline adjusted, rear deck lopped off and exhaust replaced, giving us a better idea of the new sedan's smaller dimensions and details. The new Jag, which may be dubbed "XS," is expected to ride on Jaguar's PLA (Premium Lightweight Architecture) platform, touting weight-saving materials that should do a lot to keep overall heft to a minimum. Both turbocharged four- and supercharged six-cylinder powertrains are expected to be on tap.
Codenamed X760, the new small sedan will reportedly hit the market in 2015. Earlier reports have indicated that a new crossover - Jag's first ever - riding on the same platform will arrive shortly thereafter, so that suggests that the platform will be fitted with all-wheel drive as well.

Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.
