1970 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED EMAIL ME AT: chassidycggou@geordies.org . The car has 88,000 original miles in its 45 years of service. Still wearing it's
original light blue exterior paint, original dark blue leather interior, and with it's original black hard top and
soft blue top (I'm not sure about the originality of the soft top). This car has had extensive mechanical work done
but not been cosmetically restored, which brings the much valued patina. You can see the leather on the seats, that
although you can see it's original and patina, they are still in very good condition. You can also tell by the
original seat belts. With over more than $25k worth of mechanical work done, including all breaking system,
suspension, all hoses replaced, engine rebuilt, distributor replaced, new exhausted system, new aluminum radiator,
among other things. Basically the car has not been used after the engine rebuilt.
This car will start at the first try, it doesn't leak oil (hard to believe), it does not blow smoke at all of any
color, it will not overheat and it will stop as it should. This is not at show car, it's definitely a driver car
and I do not intend to give the idea that the car is perfect. There are still areas to improve, mostly
cosmetically. Among the things that need to attention are: windshield hose, air conditioning (it was not
restorable), carpets (were in very bad shape, so it does not include carpets), among other small cosmetically bits
and pieces. All easy fixes, but also an “easy” restoration in case someone would like to have the work done to
have this car at show quality.
The car also includes the original full spare wire wheel and tire as well as the original changing tools. The
crome is in very good condition as you can tell from the pictures. The paint although is original, it is not in
perfect shape but I decided not to paint it in order to keep the car as original as possible but having it in very
good mechanically condition to be able to enjoy it.

2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T
Fri, 10 May 2013Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:

Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
Lightweight E-Type to show historic side of Jaguar Special Operations in Monterey
Mon, 11 Aug 2014Jaguar has made a lot of great vehicles over the years, but as far as historians are concerned, it still very much lives in the shadow of the original E-Type, small as it was. In its image, Jaguar has made two generations of XK and the new F-Type, but what we have here is the most faithful continuation of the E-Type heritage yet.
Alongside the Range Rover Sport SVR and the F-Type Project 7 (making its US debut), Jaguar Land Rover and its new Special Operations division will roll into Pebble Beach this year with the continuation Lightweight E-Type. Of the 72,500 E-Types which Jaguar built between 1961 and 1975, only a dozen were Lightweight versions, and they remain the most coveted E-Types of all. It originally planned on building 18 examples, though, and five decades later, it's now committed to completing that original production run in faithful detail.
The Lightweight E-Type was based on the standard roadster and was homologated as such, just with some key upgrades to make it lighter and faster. The biggest change, of course, was the lightweight aluminum bodywork that cut 205 pounds off the curb weight. To replicate it, Jaguar took the last example (the only one made in 1964 after the original eleven were made in '63), scanned half its body surface, mirrored it to ensure symmetry and set about reproducing it with the same standard of materials available in the Sixties (and resisting the urge to go with more modern grades of aluminum). 75 percent of the 230 components are made in-house, with the largest stampings outsourced and built on machinery built to Jaguar's specifications off-site.
