This meticulously maintained 1971 Jaguar E-type Series II Roadster is one of the last Series II roadsters imported prior to the introduction of the larger Series III version. The Series II retained the sleek and nimble size and styling of the original 1961 E-Type design, famously named by Enzo Ferrari as “the most beautiful automobile ever made,” while integrating 10 years of refinement in drivability, reliability, comfort and safety: The engine is fueled by the factory installed dual Zenith–Stromberg carburetors which offer improved drivability over the earlier SU carbureted engines. A larger front air intake as well as the upgraded cooling system with dual electric fans eliminated the cooling issues of the early E-types. The factory upgraded disc brake system includes the improved Girling calipers to replace the less effective Dunlop units. Shoulder belts added to lap restraints 1971 was the last year the famous racing-designed “XK” 6 cylinder engines were used in the car; only 35 were built that year with that motor, 19 of which were roadsters. The beautiful wooden steering wheels left with the XK engine, as the much heavier 12 cylinder motor introduced that year necessitated power steering and a metal steering wheel, further changing the driving experience. In 1998, the owner of this car decided to freshen this rust-free, undamaged, and unmodified E-Type to the high level of finish reflected in the photos. The cost of this project exceeded $30,000 in this “no expense spared” restoration. The exterior color was changed from sable to black, otherwise the restoration renewed the car to original condition. The body was expertly prepared and the color conversion was extended to include all surfaces. The quality of the coachwork and paintwork is outstanding. All body panels are arrow straight and properly aligned. Automotive Restorations of Stratford,Connecticut http://www.automotiverestorations.com/ was selected to perform the restoration, given their extensive experience with the Jaguar mark, as well as their commitment to craftsmanship since 1978. A partial list of work includes: New paint, leather seats, door panels, carpet set, canvas top Complete engine detail Complete tune-up with carburetor rebuild, new ignition coil, water pump New clutch and clutch system hydraulics Brakes, wheel bearings, fuel sender, blower motor BASF Glasurit color code 1250 finished with clearcoat was selected to ensure a permanent show quality finish. The interior was restored with Connolly Biscuit leather #A3243. The chrome trim is in excellent condition including the chrome wire wheels and wire spare with “redline” Michelins. The “knock-off” hubs reflect its Jaguar racing heritage.The leather is supple, cool in the sun, and in excellent condition. All gauges are functional including the clock. The black canvas convertible top is in excellent condition and the eisenglass window is clear and crease free. Throughout my ownership of this beautiful vehicle, I have kept it garaged and drive it 2-3 times a week, both enjoying it and keeping it in excellent running condition. I have fueled it with only ethanol-free high test gas. I am privileged to own this elegant piece of automotive art and history and look forward to inquiries.

Ian Callum, Brian Johnson and Lord March pick 10 top Jaguars
Thu, 11 Sep 2014An automaker with as rich a heritage as Jaguar is bound to create a few experts along the way... and some divergent opinions, too. So on the eve of the debut of the new XE, Jaguar brought together three experts to whittle down the long list of classic Leaping Cats to just ten.
For this gargantuan task, it brought in Ian Callum (who, as the company's chief designer, knows a thing or two about Jaguars), Lord Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (the Earl of March and founder of the Goodwood Revival) and Brian Johnson - who may be better known as the frontman of AC/DC, but also a classic car enthusiast, collector and racer in his own right.
So what did the designer, the nobleman and the celebrity choose? The SS100, XK120 (namely number NUB 120), the C-Type that competed at the 1953 Mille Miglia, the D-Type that won at Reims, the Mk II sedan, the E-Type that served as the Geneva show car, the one and only XJ13, company founder Sir William Lyons' personal XJ6 S1, the TWR XJS touring car and the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9.
Jay Leno's Garage features funnyman's 1963 Jaguar E-Type
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Jay Leno looks inward on this episode of his eponymous garage, checking out a 1963 Jaguar XKE that he bought earlier this year. It is an example of his favorite kind of car, that being original and unrestored. He bought the E-Type from its first owner, a woman who purchased it new, held on to it for 50 years and took excellent care of it. Having never been in an accident, Leno says even the paint is 85- to 90-percent original.
In the video, the XKE sits in front of two heavily modded XK120s and another '63 XKE, but Leno said all he's done - and all he plans to do - is clean it up and put on a modern set of wire wheels for safety.
He's not on any junket and there are no guests, it's just a guy talking about an object dear to his heart. If you need a refresher on the excellent genes of the new F-Type, check out the video below.
Jaguar XE bares its claws in 74 images [w/video]
Wed, 01 Oct 2014The XE may prove to be the most vital new model to Jaguar's expansion. But to date we've only really seen it in top-spec, supercharged XE S form. That ends right here and now, however, as Jaguar releases details, photos and even a brief video clip showing the entire range - including those most customers are bound to buy.
Globally speaking - or at least in its home market - Jaguar will offer the XE with five different engines and in four different trim levels. The new Ingenium engine family includes two diesels and two turbocharged gasoline options along with the top-of-the-line supercharged V6 that will serve as the XE's performance flagship model, at least until a new SVR version comes along. Both six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions are on offer, and overseas buyers will also be able to choose between base SE, mid-range Prestige, opulent Portfolio, dynamic R-Sport and range-topping S trim levels.
Of course not every engine is available in each trim level and with either transmission, so instead of 40 combinations we're looking at 22. Once the XE reaches American showrooms, we'll likely be looking at even fewer, as we're not expecting the manual and diesel versions to be offered Stateside. Stay tuned as well for our live impressions from the floor of the Paris Motor Show. But in the meantime you can scope out all the details and UK specifications in the press release below, along with the short video and the gallery of 74 high-resolution images above.
