high resolution images of this E-Type are hosted via PhotoBucket. All of
the pictures can be seen by either clicking the slide show below, clicking any
of the sample images below, or copying and pasting the web address: Exterior: The rest of
the exterior is presentable as well. As
stated, the body panels are all impressively straight. They are not wavy. I am not able to find a
ding on the body. No evidence or records
of significant damage ever. The panels
were stripped to bare steel prior to the paintwork being performed. The body/VIN is numbers matching. Gaps throughout are great, with the driver
door being slightly pushed out due to new weatherstripping which should compress
over time. The passenger door jamb still
needs the vertical weatherstripping piece ($50). Lenses overall are nice with Lucas headlamps
units up front. Chrome/trim throughout
is presentable, shines, and is reflective, almost perfect looking from five or
so feet away, but with close inspection on some of it, it shows typical wear
such as pitting and scratches. Hatch
window trim is present but not installed.
Glass throughout overall is good, some minor wear, and some scratches on
the driver glass as well as other minor scratches on the upper part of the windscreen. It was not significant enough to show up in
the photos. None of the glass has any
cracks or significant stone impacts. The
chrome wire wheels look absolutely beautiful and show some typical aging/oxidation. The redline tires are new and contrast very
nicely from the dark blue. The underbody
and engine bay is not Concours clean but is impressive. Those areas have been refurbished with
cleaning, paint, and numerous part replacement throughout. Underside of the hood sheet metal also is
great. All in all, the exterior of this
E-Type collectively is very presentable and visually appealing. Interior: The interior
of this E-Type is mostly original, overall complete, and shows some
patina. The dashboard is very nice and
would not need much attention. The pad
does not have any cracking, rips, or other issues. Gauges overall look good. Some touch up here and there could be in
order like on the choke knob or enjoy as is.
Steering wheel is original wood and has received some repair. Headliner shows age, has some markings, but
is not drooping. The driver seat shows
some wear. The passenger seat shows more
wear and has some cracking/separation. Head
rests are present and fine. Seat belts
are present and are fine. Door panels
are original and have some scarring due to the window cranks hitting them. Hatch area material shows typical wear to be
expected. The interior overall is
presentable and shows expected patina for having traveled 86,000 miles. It does not distract from the beautiful exterior
of the vehicle but a future owner may wish to refurbish the interior. Excellent complete interior kits can be purchased
from many different sources like www.osji.com and
cost about $3,200. I personally would
just enjoy the E-type as it is but a future owner may opt for such interior work
being done and this has been considered in the value of this vehicle. Mechanical: This E-Type
is impressive mechanically and well sorted.
This was a nicely running and driving vehicle prior to receiving the
recent refurbishment, not some sort of barn find. It has received about $15,000 worth of mechanical
refurbishment since 2011. I have a four
page itemized receipt with totals and dates scanned and pictured. There are some mechanical details that can
still be worked out like with any 40+ year old car but the major important
aspects in many of the different systems (suspension, brakes, engine, cooling,
etc.) are taken care of resulting in this being a very fun to drive vehicle. Some of the significant recent work includes: -New clutch,
new slave cylinder, new reservoir -Rebuilt
carbs -Engine
serviced, cleaned, and painted, new choke cables, new water pump -Starter
rebuilt -Radiator
reconditioned, new fans -New ball
joints -New
battery, cables, and tray -New brake
master cylinder, front brake rotors, some brake hose replacement -New tires
and tubes -New
u-joints -Rear hubs: One
hub rebuilt, one replaced -Fluids
throughout The Jaguar
E-Type is a very special vehicle. The
fix head six cylinder two seater coupes are considered by many to be the most
attractive vehicles ever produced in the world.
In the context of when these vehicles were produced, E-Types also offered
impressive technology and performance compared to its competitors. The engine is a big, torquey, and high
horsepower for a little sports car, dual overhead cam 4.2L inline six. Fully independent suspension with disc brakes
at every corner was standard. The Jaguar
E-Type was a great value compared to other options back in the day (Aston
Martin, Maserati, Ferrari, Austin Healey, Porsche) and the Series 2 E-Type
holds true to that right now today as well.
These cars are so pleasant to drive.
The sound the engine makes is intoxicating. The view from the cockpit of the power bulge
and rounded fenders makes one feel like they are in something very
special. And of course, it is the type
of car that when parked in the garage, one can just sit and stare at. Needless to say, it receives tons of positive
attention and from all ages (ex: Yesterday while out for a cruise and ending up
behind a brand new Aston Martin, the driver stopped me to compliment the
E-Type). This numbers matching E-Type offered for your consideration is an extremely clean and presentable example that is ready to be driven and should be driven. Its finish shines beautifully and is a very uncommon, complimentary, and eye catching color. This E-Type has been well sorted mechanically and can be enjoyed as is or with some more effort be brought up to another level. With consideration for this E-type’s originality, excellent mechanical condition, and beautiful cosmetic condition, I have tried to set the asking price fairly at $48,500. Serious buyers are welcome to contact me with any questions. Preferred calls are between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM central time. Clean title. Fuel tank is full and car is clean, ready for its next caretaker. 262-391-1069 Add write up, photos, and video footage

Never-was Jaguar C-X75 hybrid supercar driven by Autocar
Mon, 24 Jun 2013There's lucky, and then there's "I got to drive the Jaguar C-X75." The crew from Autocar is among the handful of souls who can honestly make the latter statement. Jaguar invited the publication down for a little time in both the passenger and driver seats around the automaker's proving grounds. While there's no end to the jealousy oozing from our pores, the good news is that there were a few cameras on hand to capture the experience. As you may recollect, the C-X75 Concept was a unique hybrid supercar concept built to duke it out with the likes of the Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 and the McLaren P1. The British automaker put it on track for production, but unfortunately stopped the project about six months ago.
With a twincharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine capable of revving to 10,000 rpm, the C-X75 concept yields 502 horsepower and gets partnered with four electric motors - one at each wheels. A 19kWh lithium-ion battery pack serves up 300kW of power, and combined, the motors and battery are capable of yielding an additional 194 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Combined, the driveline is good for more than 850 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Said another way, the C-X75 will do the 0-60 miles per hour dance in under three seconds.
And Autocar got to drive it. You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
2014 Jaguar F-Type
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Stepping Into The Lion's Den With A Big-Hearted Cat
If you're like me - and our demographics suggests you are - you've probably never seen a new Jaguar sportscar at your local showroom. I'm 36, and it hasn't happened in my lifetime... and not by a little bit. Oh, there have been a string of XK coupes and convertibles, and as of late, there have even been some genuine high-performance specials - namely the R, R-S and R-S GT models - but their basis has always been the 2+2 grand tourer shell, not a lighter and smaller footprint with more intrinsic sporting intent. The truth is that it's been a half-century since Jaguar introduced a proper new sportscar. Today, most people know the brand strictly as a purveyor of wood- and hide-lined luxury sedans.
In fact, if you're not an enthusiast with some appreciation for the marque's history, it's a bit odd to hear Jaguar executives proclaim that they are a sportscar company and always have been. By their reckoning, the 2014 F-Type seen here is in fact a return to form, a Rip Van Winkled brand pillar reanimated and reimagined to take center stage. It's a sentiment that must be particularly odd for car shoppers in developing markets like China, where Jaguar hasn't even been selling cars for very long. Yet because the original 1961 E-Type is perhaps the most gorgeous car ever to lay ply on the world's roads, we're prepared to cut them some slack.
Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.
