1971 JAGUAR E TYPE 2+2

ORIGINAL SURVIVOR


There only original once!  This Jaguar E Type has mostly been in storage for the past few decades.  The car runs and drives and amazingly still has ice cold blowing air conditioning.


The car still sports and original factory paint and it shows pretty well.  I think a polish and wax job and you’re done.  Personally,  I would NOT repaint this car.  How many survive with original paint?  This car is also a matching numbers car.  The motor matches and body.


The V12 starts right up and runs smooth and sounds distinctive.   The past owner a few years ago put new tires on the car and an aluminum five core radiator with electric fans to keep the car running cool.  He said the carbs were balanced too.  The car will come with the original radiator.


This car not only sports original paint,  but there is no rust through found anywhere.   The original sheet metal is fabulous.  The car was originally a California car, then New Mexico and only recently, Texas.


The body is extremely nice.  There was a small bump in the nose atop the grill and some minor body work was done at some point to fix it.   The drivers side bonnet has two small dents up front.


The Jag is leaking what I believe is power steering fluid.  I also believe the valve covers are seeping oil onto the manifolds.  At engine shut down, there is sometimes oil burn off coming from the bonnet louvers for a few minutes.


The transmission is an automatic and seems to shift as it should.  The car shows 58,xxx miles.  The speedometer cable seems bad and I don’t know how long its been off line.   By the looks of the brake pedal pad,  I would guess the car has less the 100k on it.   Some of the gauges work,  some seem not actuate. 


The wipers work, and original radio works and sounds pretty good.  The horn works and turn signals.  The brakes are good and the emergency brake grabs tight.


Inside the front leather bucket seats are dry and cracked up.  I would re-upholster them.  The dash has no cracks forward but one towards the glass.


The car comes with some extra parts and four never used carburetor kits.  It will also come with several books and manuals etc.  One is a large original hard cover book from the 70’s.  Likely worth a lot alone.


Please call or write before bidding if you have any questions.  Houston Wills at 210-548-1310 between 9am-7pm CST.  The car is located in San Antonio Texas and comes with a clear New Mexico title.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

At the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend, Land Rover previewed its upcoming performance version of the Range Rover Sport. Only instead of wearing the R-S badge that adorns the most hardcore of Jaguar models, the performance SUV from JLR's Special Operations unit introduced the letters SVR. And now, it seems that badge is here to stay.
Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, a new report from Motor Authority now says that Jaguar Land Rover will use those letters to distinguish the top-of-the-line performance models from both marques moving forward. As such, we might expect SVR models of the upcoming Jaguar XE compact sedan and Land Rover Discovery Sport, as well as potential new performance models based on the new F-Type and next-generation XF.
If accurate, the move would seem to separate Jaguar in particular from the R-S badge that has adorned performance models like the XFR-S and XKR-S. Both Audi and Porsche use the letters RS to distinguish its most hardcore models as well (e.g. Audi RS7 Sportback and Porsche 911 GT3 RS). Whether the similarity was a factor in shifting to the SVR moniker, we don't know, but either way, we welcome the arrival of a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover performance models - especially if they pack the 575-horsepower version of the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Not incidentally, that delicious powerplant gained a couple of new engine bays to call home at Goodwood as well - it's not just found in the forthcoming Range Rover Sport SVR, it's found a home in the F-Type Project 7, too.

Are you the soon-to-be-revealed Jaguar CUV concept?

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Following 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.
