Offered for sale is an entirely solid, incredibly original, numbers matching, 57,000 original mile 1964 Jaguar Series I 3.8L E-Type Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) finished in its rare, factory correct Black over Biscuit. Garaged and well loved from new and having never been restored, this three owner car is the proverbial “survivor”, used as a weekend driver throughout the nearly 50 years since Max Hoffman imported the car. Based on this history, ownership, and the condition of the car’s telltale points, it’s believed that the 57k miles registering on the odometer are entirely original. According to the most recent owner, the original owner kept the car immaculate until the late 1970s, at which point it was purchased by a professional photographer and architectural preservationist from the historic town of New Castle, Delaware. His tenure of ownership would continue for the ensuing +/-25 years, before finding the third local buyer in 2002, a buyer whom he found through the local Jaguar Owner's club and one that he could be sure would provide the E-Type the same kind of care and preservation to which it had grown accustomed. As offered today, the car is not without its minor aesthetic blemishes, but as the pictures exhibit, it is still abundantly presentable. The deep black finish, while showing its age, polishes up nicely, the glass is in excellent condition and the brightwork shows only minimal wear, with no dings or flaking chrome. The original chrome knock-off wheels are wrapped in Michelin radial tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s body displays absolutely no evidence of rust or bondo and is extremely straight, with excellent panel fits and gaps all around. The wonderfully offsetting Biscuit interior is equally clean, showing only minimal wear to the Connelly leather, interior panels, carpets and headliner. The car also retains its period Blaupunkt radio, full wire wheel spare and changing tools. Always maintained and consistently taken out to stretch its legs, the car is in fantastic shape mechanically, its original 3.8L inline six with triple SU carburetors starting right up without any smoke or hesitation. Pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the original Moss gearbox’s gears, it propels the car down the highway with grin-inducing force. The car drives and brakes straight, handles crisply and thoroughly provides the early E-Type’s trademark visceral feel. The car’s undercarriage is solid and free of corrosion and the engine bay is entirely sanitary, further testament to the amount of miles the car has traveled. This is an excellent opportunity at acquiring an extremely desirable, solid and mechanically strong example, finished in it’s rare, factory correct color. Whether continuing its tenure as a wonderfully original weekend driver or as the ideal platform for an uncomplicated concours quality restoration, this 1964 E-Type FHC is sure to provide strong investment upside while bringing its next owner the same joy imparted upon its previous caretakers. Please bid accordingly. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe spotted testing
Thu, 09 May 2013The automotive world has been hot on fire with the Jaguar F-Type of late. We're still recovering from the excitement of driving Jaguar's new sports car for the first time, and recently we had a predictive look at a coupe version. As it turns out, those 'patent sketches' were just a warm up for the real deal F-Type Coupe, as this brand new set of spy images proves out.
Word from our shooter is that security around the F coupe was and is really tight. The photographer had to hide in the cargo area of his clandestine SUV, just to catch these few, not-perfectly-clear images (that odd color your see is window tint). Still, the photos are good enough to see that the rakish silhouette of the hardtop is going to do justice to the convertible. In fact, the new top seems to flow quite perfectly into the car's rear haunches.
Expect that the F-Type Coupe will share an engine lineup with the roadster, meaning both a naturally aspirated and a supercharged V6, as well as a V8 option. Hot R and R-S versions of the Jaguar coupe are a virtual lock, too, though how far down the product pipeline they are is unclear.
Jaguar F-Pace snapped inside and out
Tue, Apr 28 2015We've seen the Jaguar F-Pace undergoing testing before: at the Nurburgring, in the snow, and wearing a variety of different bodywork as development has progressed. But we've never seen it this close, and we've never seen it inside, until now. This latest batch of spy shots shows Coventry's new crossover out on the road undergoing warm-weather testing in what looks like Spain. It's tellingly parked in between a Jaguar XE and Range Rover Evoque, the gap between which the F-Pace is expected to bridge. It's still wearing heavy camouflage, of course, but this is our first glimpse inside the cockpit. The cabin rather similar to the one on the new XF sedan – and hardly any more upright, either, which tells us a bit about the handling character Jaguar is going after with the F-Pace. Expect to see the finished product at the Frankfurt Motor Show this coming fall – the same show where it unveiled the C-X17 concept two years ago to preview its arrival. Related Video:
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
