1964 JAGUAR E-TYPE 3.8 LITER FIXED HEAD COUPE, WITH FACTORY WEBASTO SUNROOF. ORIG OPALESCENT SILVER BLUE WITH NAVY BLUE TRIM.
Up for sale, here on Ebay by KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS, is a 1964 Jaguar E-type 3.8 Liter Coupe with a rare and desirable Webasto Continental Sunroof. Jaguar had these sunroofs fitted to their cars by special order by their buyers. The cars were produced as standard coupes by the Company, then sent out to a Webasto fitter at one of their locations. After fitment of the roof, to a very high level of quality, the car was then delivered to a Jaguar dealer for the customer to take delivery of the new car. This was more common on European-delivered cars, as it was fairly rare to see a sunroof car in the States. I'm sure that the JDHT Certificate would have mention of this option. This 3.8 Liter coupe was originally produced in Opalescent Silver Blue with a Navy Blue trim. A very nice light, cool color for a closed car... It has it's correct and original data plate. It had an engine change at some point in it's life with earlier E-type engine R8898-9. Both the cylinder head and block match to that number. The engine is currently stuck and needs rebuilding. It has a correct 3.8 transmission and triple carb induction system. The body overall is decent. The original front dipped floor sections need to be replaced. The bonnet is actually very good with no rust-through, and has excellent shape and form to it. It appears to have come from a primrose-colored car. The trunk area looks decent from the inside, but there is some repairable rust-through areas on the underside. There is an extra hatch lid included with the car that is complete with all the needed parts. There is some minor damage to the LH rocker panel around the battery area. The rocker panels overall appear very solid. Apart from the front floors, the main floors in the car look exceptionally nice and very solid. The doors and hatch lid fit well. This car is mostly complete but is missing a few easy items. Parts needed include a radiator and bonnet front subframe, headlight glass covers and rims, motif bar, air cleaner can, driveshaft, and windshield chrome trim (the lower is present). These items are all available new or used, and are shared with other models. The sunroof still retains all the correct and special items needed for restoration, including the fitter's badge plates. Overall, this is a very good, decent 3.8 Liter Coupe for full restoration. It has the extremely rare and special feature of a factory "authorized" Webasto Continental Sunroof, which would clearly set this car apart from other Coupes on the Concours field when restored. In my opinion it offers the best of both worlds: the visually stunning lines of the Series One Fixed Head Coupe coupled with the open air motoring sensation of a sunshine roof, all original and factory correct to this car... This car is located and can be viewed in Southern California. It is sold with a clear and current California title. $34,900. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. 909-920-9221, work. 909-241-1051, cell. |

Chinese patent filing shows what could be next Royal Limo from Jaguar
Fri, 10 May 2013Someone filed a patent application in China for the Jaguar XJ limousine seen above, but no one's sure who filed it or what the car is for. One camp thinks it's a State limo for UK royals like the Bentley State Limousine, another camp thinks it's the work of aftermarket coachbuilders.
One thing's for sure: Assuming it ever gets made, anyone who buys it wants an XJ in name only; the modifications have removed almost all of the grace of the standard sedan. Estimated to be more than three feet longer than an XJ, the stretched rear doors are backed by an even more stretched rear section that, in losing the trademark XJ C-pillar (the D-pillar on this car), adds all sorts of ungainliness to its backside. What's more, the roof rises from front to rear, we can only assume to make room for people with large hats. Or the NBA player that the Chinese call "Sweet Melon."
Head over to AutoSohu for more photos from the application, if you're sure that's what you really want.
Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
Are you the soon-to-be-revealed Jaguar CUV concept?
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Following the teaser of the Jaguar CX-17 Concept released last weekend, the first official image of the Jaguar crossover concept appears to have hit the Internet ahead of its introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Assuming this is the real deal, the tall, upright front end removes any doubt that this is anything but a preview for the upcoming Jaguar crossover, which will likely be called either the XQ or the Q-Series. Reports suggest that Jag's first-ever CUV is likely to go into production in 2016, and it will bring with it the option for a Jaguar-developed four-cylinder engine replacing the current mills still sourced from former parent Ford.
