Offered for sale, here on Ebay, from KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS, is a 1968 Jaguar E-type 4.2 liter Fixed Head Coupe for restoration. This car was originally sold in the Los Angeles, CA area in the attractive and handsome color scheme of British Racing Green with Black leather trim. It is a full matching numbers car with the addition of the hugely desirable triple-carb setup from the Series One model. At some time in the car's life it was painted it's current black exterior color. The car is an excellent candidate for a restoration, very original, having never been taken apart. 
The body on this car is very straight and solid for restoration, with no evidence of any accidents. There is some repairable rust-through on the bottom of the driver's side door. Both dipped sections of the front floors could use replacement, but the rest of the car is exceptionally solid and clean, being a West Coast car. The bonnet and door fit is very nice. The bonnet is in very nice condition, with nice shape and form to it. 
The previous owner started some minor disassembly of the car in preparation for some restoration work, but did not get very far. The correct matching numbers engine is currently stuck from sitting. Some components were removed which are shown in the photos. The car seems very complete with the exception of the driver's seat, the RH windshield post molding, and the upper rear windshield chrome insert strip.
The interior trim of the car is highly original and complete, but in need of restoration. It retains all of it's correct original gauges, switches, etc.- all in good condition. The speedometer reads 77,000 miles, which is believed to be correct. 
Overall, this is a desirable Series 1 1/2 Coupe for easy, straightforward restoration. It is offered with the bonus of a proper and correct Tri-carb setup which provides Series One performance on this drivetrain. With the appreciation of Series One cars recently, this Coupe offers excellent value and will prove to be a very worthwhile restoration project. It is sold with a clear title and is located in Southern California. It can be viewed by appointment. $27,900.

542-HP Jaguar XJR to debut at New York Auto Show

Wed, 20 Mar 2013

Jaguar has just announced that a higher-than-ever performance version of its XJ flagship will be coming to this year's New York Auto Show next week. Joining the company's R lineup is this XJR, which will boast a stonking 542 horsepower from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine.
Though details about the new XJ are pretty slim - you can read Jag's teaser of a press release - we are told that the car will ride on a "bespoke chassis" and that some aerodynamics work has been done, as well. The one sultry image we have of the car shows a set of trim-specific wheels, lower sills and unique badging on the front grille.
The new XJR would seem to slot above the current top-dog XJ, the XJ Supersport. With a bump up of 32 hp versus the Supersport, performance should get a meaningful shot in the arm, as well. As for pricing, we'll have to wait for the NYC show to be sure. But other Jaguar models show an increase of between 15- and 20-percent between the R model and the next one down; that would indicate a price tag in the $130k range for a standard wheelbase XJR is in order.

Jaguar reveals upcoming XE's InControl infotainment system [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Jaguar has been keeping busy lately, rolling out both the new Lightweight E-Type and F-Type Project 7 at Pebble Beach this past weekend. But the more important project for the British automaker is the upcoming new XE.
Coventry has been releasing a steady stream of information and teasers on its new 3 Series challenger, and has now revealed details of the new infotainment system that will debut in the XE. Called InControl, the system centers around an eight-inch touchscreen and integrates with smartphones (running both iOS and Android) through the InControl Remote and InControl Apps. The system will allow drivers to pre-set the climate control for each day of the week, lock and unlock the doors and start the engine remotely.
It'll also include an on-board wifi hotspot to connect multiple devices and a laser-based head-up display that you can scope out in the graphic above as well as the video and press release below in advance of the XE's upcoming debut in London on September 8.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
