1963 Jaguar E-type Ots on 2040-cars
Claremont, Minnesota, United States
If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: diannadrreihl@uksolicitor.org .
Here is an exceptionally original and highly favored 3.8L 1963 OTS, that has been sitting in storage for decades
waiting to be revived and restored. The body is very solid, considering it's age!
Completed the 30th of July 1963 and dispatched shortly after on August 12th, destined for the States through Jaguar
Cars, New York; this car was purchased new by J.H. Golden of Pineville, Kentucky. As a mid-1963 production it is
one of the early leather console cars that came after the metal dash examples. This Series I was last registered
for the road in 1973, a period tag indicates the E-Type spent life in Pennsylvania and was later parked several
decades ago. The car is complete with no missing parts, all numbers match.
The Roadster remains complete with factory upholstery adorning the cabin and spear seats, correct Motorola radio,
auxiliaries and trim. Equipped with its numbers-matching powerplant this example makes for an exciting find of the
ever desirable and appreciating early XKE. It is the ideal candidate for a quality restoration in its attractive
original color combination. Included with the sale is the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate.

Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index
Sun, 06 Jul 2014A 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.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Say goodbye to Jaguar's vestigial oval grille
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Jaguar has been on a campaign to replace any and all retro cues with modern ones. Just look at the current XJ and the one it replaced, or the XF and the S-Type that came before it and you'll know what we mean. The one remnant is the XK and its oval grille, in and of itself a throwback to Jags of old (which started to look more like a certain Star Wars alien in above-pictured XKR-S form). But don't expect it to hang around.
Newer Jaguars have been ditching the oval aperture for a more squared-off one, and the next XK will have to fall in line. But don't expect that to be the only change in store for the next-generation Jaguar coupe and convertible.
With the new F-Type now holding the more enthusiast-oriented ground, the next XK is expected to grow bigger, softer and more luxurious. That will likely mean a more commodious back seat as well, though that shouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of space in the back of the current model...
