Offered for sale is a spectacular Series II E-Type Roadster - one of the finest examples available. "The Blending of Art & Machine".

By the time Jaguar got to the Series II they had sorted out the E-Type a bit more.  More comfortable  seating, better electrics, better cooling, and the 4.2 liter engine.  Also, the Series II is more masculine & aggressive looking than the earlier cars

This car underwent a 9 year full ground up, rotisserie, nut & bolt restoration.  Every part of the vehicle was disassembled, cleaned, sand blasted/glass beaded, painted, and all parts were restored, rebuilt or replaced.

Every part on this car received excruciating attention to detail.  For example: the regulator flap inside the heater box was rusted and had a hole in it.  I disassembled the heater box, had the heater core re-cored, welded up the hole in the heater flap, ground down the welds, applied epoxy primer, block sanded the flap & painted it to a mirror finish with Glasuit urethane enamel paint.  All for a part no one can see!

My plan when restoring this car was to make everything as true to original as possible, but to utilize the better quality materials that are available today.  I used as many NOS parts as possible unless there was a better option available.

The restoration features:
  • Glasuit two-part urethane enamel primers, base coats & clear coats
  • Supercool Oversize Radiator Core
  • Stainless Steel Exhaust
  • Stainless Steel Brake Lines
  • Stainless & Grade 8 hardware
  • Petronics Electronic Ignition & Coil
  • Gear Reduction Starter
  • Series III Cooling Fan Relay & Wiring
  • CoolMat High Tech Heat Protection/Sound Deadening Material
  • 5 Dayton 72 Spoke Chrome & Stainless Wire Wheels
  • 5 Avon 205 70R 95V Radial Tires
  • Adjustable Torsion Bar Reaction Plate
  • Racing Bearings & Bushings

This award wining E-Type has received to date:

  • Best of Show Rolex Vintage Festival @ Lime Rock Park scoring 999 points out of 1000 by professional judges
  • Best of Show Jaguar Club of CT 3 years in a row
  • Best English Sports Car Greenwich Concours de Elegance
  • Best of Class 3 years in a row Lime Rock Vintage Festival
  • Best in Class 3 years in a row  Jaguar Club of CT
  • Misc. Best in Class Awards
  • National 3rd Place Award North American MG Register

The documentation includes:

  • Original Title
  • Original VIN ID Plate
  • British Heritage Motor Trust  Production Record Trace Certificate
  • Rolex Best of Show Score Sheet
  • Receipts for over $75K in Parts
  • Two Workshop Manuals
  • Two Illustrated Parts Catalogs
  • E-Type Wiring Manual
  • Misc. Restoration Guides
  • Misc. Engine Manuals
  • Misc. Jaguar E-Type History Books

The final result is a Jaguar Series II E-Type that is much better than the sum of its parts.  

Jaguar E-Type pricing is through the roof and is continuing to grow.

Recently one sold for a record breaking $467,500.00 & another Series I 3.8 previously sold for $375,173.00

As I this is one of the finest examples of a Series II E-Type, I am accepting offers starting at $200,000.00

Jaguar shows the face of its upcoming XE S sports sedan

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Jaguar has a bunch of projects in the hopper, from the replacements for the XJ sedan and XK coupe/convertible to its very first crossover. But arguably the most important among them is the XE - the British automaker's upcoming new sports sedan. Coventry has given us all sorts of peeks at what to expect from the new XE, from a shadowy rendering of the front end to a photo of a camo-wrapped prototype. But this is our best look yet.
As part of an announcement of a planned audio-visual spectacle scheduled to herald the arrival of the XE, Jaguar has released the image you see above, showing the undisguised XE in apparent S specification. From what we can see, it sports a fascia that looks pretty much exactly as we'd expect, though that's no bad thing. The XE is set to introduce the new Ingenium family of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. Whether the XE S shown here would carry a version of that (with a potential supercharger) or transplant the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 from the F-Type S remains to be seen, but whatever's under the hood, we'd expect it to hold the top end of the XE range - at least for the car's introduction before a potential R, R-S or SVR version might come along to supplant it.
One way or another, don't be surprised if you see some BMW 3 Series sedans pacing down the street nervously for the next little while. In the meantime, you can scope out all the glorious details of Jaguar's planned collaborations with the likes of Emeli Sandé, Stella McCartney and Idris Elba as part of the FEEL XE campaign in the press release below.

Evo pits Jaguar XKR-S vs. Mercedes SL63 AMG in heavyweight droptop fight

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

We recently received the sad news that the Jaguar XK is ceasing production by the end of the year, but what better way to bid it farewell than with some big, smoky powerslides? The retirement of the sporty GT isn't actually the topic of the latest video from Evo - it's on hand to compete against the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG to see which is faster around a track. Still, we can think of it as a wonderful sendoff for the Jag.
Both convertible grand tourers get their laps around the course, and they couldn't be more different. Driver Jethro Bovingdon gets some grins out of them both, but absolutely giggles while behind the wheel of the XKR-S convertible. The SL63 AMG is the more powerful of the two, but as we know, that doesn't always matter at a racetrack. You'll just have to scroll down and watch the video to see which of them is actually the winner.
