Have you ever wanted to own a car that people just couldn't help but stare at? Never mind other people, have you ever owned a car that when you parked it and walked away you felt compelled to turn around and look at it just one more time... and then again? This is that car!

This is a two owner, numbers matching, '71 E Type Series 2 Convertible with only 24000 miles. It is the ultimate eye catching color combo of red with black, and comes with the ultra rare and valuable factory hard top.

I own a classic car repair shop and drive a lot of beautiful old cars but none turns heads like this car!

My shop has serviced this car for about 8 years. Our customer who has owned this car since the early '80s is leaving the country and sadly cannot take it with him. The most recent work performed was the removal of the engine and trans to replace the clutch. While the engine was out all external seals on the engine were replaced. The engine was cleaned and painted, and anything that needed to be addressed, was.

Here is a list of some of the work done in the last few years, all within very low mileage:

-Seats were completely redone - frames blasted and painted, new foams, lumbar strappings and leather covers

-All new fluids, belts, plugs, hoses, brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder,

- Body gaskets were replaced (except windshield and bonnet cowl - did not need it)

- 5 new Coker redlines, 1 brand new Dayton Wire in trunk for spare ( the four wheels on car are the original Dunlops)

- Every chrome screw, nut, bolt, latch, hook, trim piece, bezel etc has been removed, cleaned and polished

- All the instruments have been disassembled and cleaned so they're crystal clear

- Rebuilt front calipers, new brake hoses

- And much, much more!

We have thoroughly gone through this car to ensure everything is working properly so its new owner can enjoy the best of what an E Type can offer. In our opinion, the Series 2s are the best driving 6 cylinder E Types incorporating all the modifications to increase reliabilty and durability. They have much bigger brakes, bigger radiator, better fans etc.

The owner told us the car was being transported back in the '80s in a covered trailer when it came loose and shifted causing some minor damage resulting in the single repaint. As near as we can tell, the car retains all of its original panels. There are no signs of crash damage or "bondo". There are, however, some scrapes and dents under the front of the bonnet and the rear tail section most of which resulting from the owner's very steep driveway. These are obvious with the car up on the lift but as you can see in the pictures they are not at all obvious on the ground.

The paint is in good shape for a 30+ year old paint job but in some areas there's some minute bubbles in the paint. Most people wouldn't notice these until they're pointed out. Again, they're so taken by its beauty.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to set up an appointment to view the car.

Jaguar Land Rover to badge vehicles based on horsepower

Wed, Sep 27 2017

Add Jaguar and Land Rover to the list of automakers changing their nomenclature due to the realities of engine downsizing. Spy photos of an unreleased Jaguar F-Type model show a badge reading P380 AWD. The letter P evidently refers to Petrol (British for gasoline), and 380 is the engine's horsepower. According to Auto Express, the entry-level F-Type will be badged P300, indicating the power output of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Land Rover is expected to follow suit with the new badging nomenclature. Diesel models will get a D instead of a P, while electric and hybrid models will get an E badge, along with a number corresponding to total system power. So, expect the I-Pace to sport an E400 badge on its hind end. One question we have, though, is how the disparity between mechanical, metric and imperial horsepower will be dealt with. While such power-specific badges are arguably unnecessary, we expect the trend to proliferate as engines continue to get smaller but turbocharging and electrification keep horsepower climbing. At least JLR's badges are easier to understand than the messy way Audi plans to rename its models or the way BMW completely dismisses actual engine size in its naming convention.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe unveiled with range-topping R model

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

This is the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, the long-awaited hardtop counterpart to the F-Type roadster we tested earlier this year. Besides adding a roof, it shuffles up the engine range that we saw on the Convertible model, and in two of three cases, it cuts the cost of entry rather quite nicely (a happy contradiction to earlier reports).
The big change is that the F-Type Coupe does away with the Convertible's V8S trim (although the 495-horsepower variant will still be available in the droptop), and adds an even more potent letter to the top of the range. The $99,000 F-Type R Coupe is the latest member of Jaguar's R Performance line, and despite being down a letter on the XFR-S and XKR-S, it features the same 5.0-liter, 550-hp supercharged V8. With all that power on tap, the F-Type R will sprint to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds (if it doesn't break into the 3s in independent testing, we'll be shocked) and on to a top speed of 186 miles per hour. If you need to get to freeway speeds quickly, the F-Type R will also go from 50 to 75 mph in just 2.4 seconds.
As the top tier model, the F-Type R is loaded down with performance-oriented tech. The suspension features adaptive dynamics that manage the car's body movements and adjust accordingly, while the suspension itself is 4.3-percent stiffer in front and 3.7-percent tighter in the back than the F-Type V8S Convertible. Drivers can dial up an even stiffer suspension setting in Dynamic Mode, which will also tweak the steering, the shift schedule of the eight-speed SportShift automatic and the throttle response of that brawny engine.
