'71 E Type Series 2 Roadster With 24,000 Miles! Ultimate Color Combo Red/black on 2040-cars
Rockville, Maryland, United States

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. Jesse or Tracy The Shop 301-770-5247

Chris Harris finds the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe rather drifty
Wed, 26 Mar 2014Our own Matt Davis may have called the new Jaguar F-Type R Coupe "one heady rascal," but our review was disappointingly short on drifting, tire smoke and general, English shenanigans. You know, the sort of things that Chris Harris from Drive excels at.
Actually, relative to Harris' other reviews, this one is rather serious. There's a good recap of the F-Type on the road, with Harris referencing the car's "great bottom" and "amazing ass," quite frequently. Surprisingly, Harris says the more powerful F-Type R is just "incrementally" faster than the 495-horsepower F-Type V8 S Convertible. Following the on-road portion, it's off to the track. You can probably predict what goes on there. Overall, aside from some quibbles, Harris has nothing but praise for the newest cat.
We've got the entire video available below. Scroll down, have a look and let us know what you think in Comments.
Jaguar Land Rover UK factories could shut down in two weeks due to coronavirus
Tue, Feb 18 2020COVENTRY, England — Jaguar Land Rover has enough parts from China to maintain its British production for the next two weeks but not beyond that at the moment, Chief Executive Ralf Speth said on Tuesday. Britain's biggest carmaker, which operate three car factories in its home market, joined major global companies such as Apple in warning of the impact of the virus on supply chains. The rapidly spreading virus has killed nearly 1,900 in China and stricken some 72,000 people, confining millions to their homes, disrupting supply chains and delaying reopening of factories after the extended Lunar New Year holiday break. "We are safe for this week and we are safe for next week and in the third week we have... parts missing," said Speth when asking about the potential impact on British production. He said the firm's Chinese factory would open next week and was "safe for the very first week." Sales were not currently happening in China and it was unclear when they would return, he added. The boss of Tata Motors, JLR's parent company, speaking at the same event, said the company does not have sufficient visibility regarding parts suppliers from China. "We are safe for the month of February and for a good part of March," said Guenter Butschek. "Are we fully covered at this point of time for the full month of March? Unfortunately...not."

542-HP Jaguar XJR to debut at New York Auto Show
Wed, 20 Mar 2013Jaguar has just announced that a higher-than-ever performance version of its XJ flagship will be coming to this year's New York Auto Show next week. Joining the company's R lineup is this XJR, which will boast a stonking 542 horsepower from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine.
Though details about the new XJ are pretty slim - you can read Jag's teaser of a press release - we are told that the car will ride on a "bespoke chassis" and that some aerodynamics work has been done, as well. The one sultry image we have of the car shows a set of trim-specific wheels, lower sills and unique badging on the front grille.
The new XJR would seem to slot above the current top-dog XJ, the XJ Supersport. With a bump up of 32 hp versus the Supersport, performance should get a meaningful shot in the arm, as well. As for pricing, we'll have to wait for the NYC show to be sure. But other Jaguar models show an increase of between 15- and 20-percent between the R model and the next one down; that would indicate a price tag in the $130k range for a standard wheelbase XJR is in order.
