1970 Jaguar E-type Fhc No Reserve!! on 2040-cars
Avon, Connecticut, United States
|
This 1970 Series II e-type FHC is currently registered in Connecticut and is driven only on clear days and to shows, slaloms and Jaguar events. This car has been massaged by the owner with careful attention to the obvious Value that these cars are already attaining and no doubt will continue to climb at a very fast pace in the very near future. The original 4.2 litre motor was removed from the car, it had an exhaust valve failure so it needs some head work and a piston, but it comes with the car as it should. What is in the car now is the best possible scenario. (1987 sIII sedan block and large valve head) This car has been carefully built according to a plan up to the point of the paint and the bodywork. Below is the list of the modifications, but remember, all modifications were made with the careful thought of being able to put the car back to stock without a lot of trouble.
-The motor is a 1987 Jaguar Series III sedan 4.2 litre original bore, it only had 40k miles on it and it was checked, cleaned assembled with the large valve injected cylinder head and it retains the large engine oil cooler and spin on oil filter to keep it cool and to retain oil temp. -The motor is fitted with 4.2 e-type triple Su carburetors and original 1967 style intake and they are jetted for the current setup -The car has a Holley Fuel pump and runs an Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator and starts immediately, never any fuel issues. -The ignition is a Mallory Distributor with new 7MM wires . -The motor has a Large Bore exhaust Header and free flow mufflers, it is not excessively loud. Just right -The transmission is the original 4 speed and bell housing, it does grind into second gear at times, Just to make to sure to mention. -The Clutch is a Clutchmasters disc Heavy duty and The Flywheel is a Terrys Aluminum lightweight Unit. -The radiator is a large core, full flow Griffin aluminum radiator with a Hi volume electric fan. The car Always runs cool. never an issue. -The car has a lightweight 80A aluminum cased modern alternator and regulator, and it has a new 800amp battery -The car has a rebuilt Water pump and all new hoses, all new clamps and all new fittings, fluids are recent and checked. -The differential is a 3:31 E-type unit , it is limited slip it is not rebuilt and we cannot totally guarantee this ratio and it leaks at the pinion seal. The rear rotors have been replaced once already, they are not the original sandwich design and they are fine, look almost new. They were not redone with this build. -The rear suspension is stock but for uprated mountings and Koni shocks- the rear wheel houses are all rebuilt, new bearings and detailed. -The front suspension is stock but for the upgrade of larger Series III spindles, hubs and larger stock Jaguar Calipers. the brake hoses are new stock rubber lines and the car has all Ate super blue fluid in the brake and clutch systems. All brake pads are premium Hi temp pads and are less than a year old less than 2000 miles. -The car comes with any extra parts that are available, the rear bumper, which is off now is included, front bumpers are available from many sources. -There is no radio in the car, interior is very usable, original headliner is in the car at this time. It has stock seats, with good tracks and hardware. -The tires are almost new Dunlop Direzzas, Stagger size (see pictures) and the wheels are 16x8 steel road wheels. they can accept any center cap, either Chevrolet or jaguar or just plain.
-This E-type can be enjoyed the way it is? or put back to stock. Look at the pictures carefully, it needs a lot of body work, the floors are sound but have been repaired with metal and may want to be made with new pans someday as the car keeps rising in value. Depending on your game plan, the floors are fine to leave as they are as well as the body work. If series II cars continue to rise as they have been following the Series I e-types, The original motor may be the way to go. And the already set up Series III motor has plenty of value which would be an additional value. -This car is dependable and very quick, its stance turns heads and it drives solid and flat, not soft like a stock car. - There is a lot of work done to this car, There is over 40k dollars invested in the build out of this Jaguar. Heater box is already detailed, It is mechanically sound, the suspension is sorted out...Look at it closely and don’t let it slip by. Look at the pictures! As for the pictures, Everyone knows what a Jaguar E-type looks like, These are not Glamor shots, we are trying to show the condition and value of this car in order to explain what is being offered here. this car turns heads... Vehicle being sold AS-IS. No written or implied warranty. **Seller has the right to end Auction early as vehicle is being promoted elsewhere** |

2016 Jaguar XE is ready to stalk the competition
Mon, 08 Sep 2014
The XE wears some of the best styling elements from Jaguar's current litter.
Big sedans and sports cars. Jaguar has been known for those two things since the company's name was birthed in 1945. Stylish saloons like the Mark 2 and performance machines like the E-Type make up the brand's heritage, but the compact sedan market is one where the British marque has lacked great product.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe proves sexy can't be disguised
Wed, 19 Jun 2013Jaguar's new F-Type is a pretty potent little pouncer. And while we do love a good roadster, many of us at Autoblog are perhaps more excited about the upcoming hardtop version of Jag's stylish new entry-level sports car. Why? Because even here in heavily camouflaged prototype form, the thing looks really, really good - the sleek roofline blending rather nicely into the F-Type's shapely rump, allowing for better distinction of its pronounced hips over the rear wheel wells.
Mechanically speaking, the F-Type Coupe should be identical to its droptop sibling. That means the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engine lineup should carry over unchanged, though we've heard rumors about a four-cylinder application as well. There's also talk of hotter R, R-S or R-S GT models coming down the pipeline, and based on what we've experienced in things like the XKR-S, we certainly can't deny the allure of such a model.
It's unclear exactly when Jaguar will show the production F-Type Coupe (at the Frankfurt Motor Show, perhaps?), but the car is expected to go on sale sometime in 2014. Check it out in our latest spy gallery, above.
Jaguar's Callum refutes two XJ bodystyle rumor
Wed, 01 May 2013Not long ago, we relayed word from Edmunds that Jaguar was planning to split its next-generation XJ sedan into two bodystyles - one model that continued the ambitious design approach fostered with the current X351-based model, and another, more upright model to better appeal to China's conservative design sensibilities.
We expressed some cynicism in the idea, noting that such a strategy "might catch more profits for the marque, but it might also represent a setback to design head Ian Callum's vision for a thoroughly modern Jaguar portfolio." Callum has been quite insistent in his belief that Jag needs to be a forward-thinking brand in terms of design, and the two-model strategy seemed to conflict with that idea. We tried to get some comment from Callum at that time, but were unable to reach him.
As it turns out, our cynicism was well-placed. Autocar says that while the next XJ will continue to have two wheelbases, Callum has denied the two-model talk, saying flatly: "I can't see us doing two bodystyles. The cost would be enormous and the message inconsistent. You have to believe in what you produce and to do two bodystyles would undermine that."
