high resolution images of this E-Type are hosted via PhotoBucket. All of
the pictures can be seen by either clicking the slide show below, clicking any
of the sample images below, or copying and pasting the web address: Exterior: The rest of
the exterior is presentable as well. As
stated, the body panels are all impressively straight. They are not wavy. I am not able to find a
ding on the body. No evidence or records
of significant damage ever. The panels
were stripped to bare steel prior to the paintwork being performed. The body/VIN is numbers matching. Gaps throughout are great, with the driver
door being slightly pushed out due to new weatherstripping which should compress
over time. The passenger door jamb still
needs the vertical weatherstripping piece ($50). Lenses overall are nice with Lucas headlamps
units up front. Chrome/trim throughout
is presentable, shines, and is reflective, almost perfect looking from five or
so feet away, but with close inspection on some of it, it shows typical wear
such as pitting and scratches. Hatch
window trim is present but not installed.
Glass throughout overall is good, some minor wear, and some scratches on
the driver glass as well as other minor scratches on the upper part of the windscreen. It was not significant enough to show up in
the photos. None of the glass has any
cracks or significant stone impacts. The
chrome wire wheels look absolutely beautiful and show some typical aging/oxidation. The redline tires are new and contrast very
nicely from the dark blue. The underbody
and engine bay is not Concours clean but is impressive. Those areas have been refurbished with
cleaning, paint, and numerous part replacement throughout. Underside of the hood sheet metal also is
great. All in all, the exterior of this
E-Type collectively is very presentable and visually appealing. Interior: The interior
of this E-Type is mostly original, overall complete, and shows some
patina. The dashboard is very nice and
would not need much attention. The pad
does not have any cracking, rips, or other issues. Gauges overall look good. Some touch up here and there could be in
order like on the choke knob or enjoy as is.
Steering wheel is original wood and has received some repair. Headliner shows age, has some markings, but
is not drooping. The driver seat shows
some wear. The passenger seat shows more
wear and has some cracking/separation. Head
rests are present and fine. Seat belts
are present and are fine. Door panels
are original and have some scarring due to the window cranks hitting them. Hatch area material shows typical wear to be
expected. The interior overall is
presentable and shows expected patina for having traveled 86,000 miles. It does not distract from the beautiful exterior
of the vehicle but a future owner may wish to refurbish the interior. Excellent complete interior kits can be purchased
from many different sources like www.osji.com and
cost about $3,200. I personally would
just enjoy the E-type as it is but a future owner may opt for such interior work
being done and this has been considered in the value of this vehicle. Mechanical: This E-Type
is impressive mechanically and well sorted.
This was a nicely running and driving vehicle prior to receiving the
recent refurbishment, not some sort of barn find. It has received about $15,000 worth of mechanical
refurbishment since 2011. I have a four
page itemized receipt with totals and dates scanned and pictured. There are some mechanical details that can
still be worked out like with any 40+ year old car but the major important
aspects in many of the different systems (suspension, brakes, engine, cooling,
etc.) are taken care of resulting in this being a very fun to drive vehicle. Some of the significant recent work includes: -New clutch,
new slave cylinder, new reservoir -Rebuilt
carbs -Engine
serviced, cleaned, and painted, new choke cables, new water pump -Starter
rebuilt -Radiator
reconditioned, new fans -New ball
joints -New
battery, cables, and tray -New brake
master cylinder, front brake rotors, some brake hose replacement -New tires
and tubes -New
u-joints -Rear hubs: One
hub rebuilt, one replaced -Fluids
throughout The Jaguar
E-Type is a very special vehicle. The
fix head six cylinder two seater coupes are considered by many to be the most
attractive vehicles ever produced in the world.
In the context of when these vehicles were produced, E-Types also offered
impressive technology and performance compared to its competitors. The engine is a big, torquey, and high
horsepower for a little sports car, dual overhead cam 4.2L inline six. Fully independent suspension with disc brakes
at every corner was standard. The Jaguar
E-Type was a great value compared to other options back in the day (Aston
Martin, Maserati, Ferrari, Austin Healey, Porsche) and the Series 2 E-Type
holds true to that right now today as well.
These cars are so pleasant to drive.
The sound the engine makes is intoxicating. The view from the cockpit of the power bulge
and rounded fenders makes one feel like they are in something very
special. And of course, it is the type
of car that when parked in the garage, one can just sit and stare at. Needless to say, it receives tons of positive
attention and from all ages (ex: Yesterday while out for a cruise and ending up
behind a brand new Aston Martin, the driver stopped me to compliment the
E-Type). This numbers matching E-Type offered for your consideration is an extremely clean and presentable example that is ready to be driven and should be driven. Its finish shines beautifully and is a very uncommon, complimentary, and eye catching color. This E-Type has been well sorted mechanically and can be enjoyed as is or with some more effort be brought up to another level. With consideration for this E-type’s originality, excellent mechanical condition, and beautiful cosmetic condition, I have tried to set the asking price fairly at $48,500. Serious buyers are welcome to contact me with any questions. Preferred calls are between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM central time. Clean title. Fuel tank is full and car is clean, ready for its next caretaker. 262-391-1069 Add write up, photos, and video footage

Jaguar XFR-S pitted against Mercedes E63 AMG
Wed, 21 Aug 2013It was Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar who got the tough job of comparing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S on the track and sheep-strewn British B-roads. In UK spec both Mephistophelean sedans wrangle the same 542 horsepower, but step out of the corral and things look to weigh heavily in the Mercedes' favor: it has more torque, it's lighter, it's quicker from 0-to-60 and it's less expensive.
But that's on paper. Sutcliffe was given the job to see what effect all those letters and numbers had on the real-world driving experience. One of them is "an absolute hoot at the track" with great steering and weight management, one is "magnificent." To find out which is which, watch the video below.
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.
Jaguar sculpture by RCA design students is a minimal beauty
Fri, 24 May 2013With its well-deserved reputation for high design, it is not particularly surprising to see Jaguar reaching outside of the automotive realm for future inspiration. To that end, the British automaker recently enlisted the talents of students at the Royal College of Art to create a piece of forward-looking, automotive-inspired sculpture.
The result of this project can be seen above; a sculpture created by RCA students Claire Miller and Ewan Gallimore, and unveiled to a small audience to kick off London's Clerkenwell Design Week. The spare and rather elegant form created by the talented pair absolutely harkens back to coupes from Jaguar's past as well as its present (read: F-Type) without aping any one model particularly.
In a press release, the artists had this to say about the work: "Our form relates to the Jaguar brand through its sculptural volumes, bespoke materials and visual lightness. These elements helped us to create a sculpture that aimed to display a seamless transition between interior and exterior space." Get a better look at the Jaguar artwork in the gallery above, or read through the press release, which follows.
