I purchased this car last summer from my 82 year old neighbor, who bought it new in 1966. While the speedometer says it has 25k miles, he states that the original mileage is around 45k, as the speedo was broken for some time.

Initially, this was his only car. It sat outside as he lived in a condo in Montreal. It has seen its share of winters. At some point, he stopped driving the car, and stored it in his barn. When he sold the farm, the car sat in the garage under his house.

The car is completely original, including engine, chassis, and gearbox. (matching numbers) The car was repainted (original BRG color) about 10 or 15 years ago. While the paint is in good shape, the prep work left a bit to be desired, as if you look closely sanding marks can be seen in some areas. Additionally, the rockers have been fiberglassed, I’m assuming because of rust. The work looks wonderful though, and unless you looked underneath and saw some mat overlapping, you’d never know. The floors are solid as is the spare wheel well. As the pictures show, the body is straight as an arrow. The only visible rust is on the inner panel under the air cleaner.

I got it running when I got it home. It has great oil pressure (approx 40lbs hot idle). The carbs need to be rebuilt. It spits and carries on, then comes to life. I installed a Pertronix ignition. A new fuel tank was installed about 5 years ago. Additionally I purchased a new water pump (installed), a 3 row Aluminum radiator, and 8 blade electric fan, and all new hoses as a precaution. (they have yet to be installed) The heater assembly is rusted on the bottom and was removed, but is included as is the original radiator and fan.

Brakes and clutch work, though the brakes take an extra pump to bring the pedal to the top. Transmission shifts fine.

The interior is completely original and is in rough condition. Included in the sale is a brand new OSJI complete biscuit interior kit, (Major Kit) including new seat cushions, dash cover and headliner. It is the most complete kit they offer.

To the best of my knowledge the car is complete with the exception of the chrome that goes on either side of the windshield. Currently the car is as shown with the bonnet off and the radiator out, which is how it is being sold.

I have not titled the car in my name. My neighbor is Canadian, and that’s where the car was stored. I imported the car to the US and have the proper documents in hand. Theoretically, you could be the second owner. I have many original documents for the car, including the service coupon book!

This car is a good candidate for a fun driver, or has great bones for restoration. I thought I had the time to do this car, but found that I do not.

Jaguar teaches Mena Suvari and Sebastian Stan how to drive the F-Type

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Automakers conduct driver training programs on racing circuits around the world for a variety of participants: journalists, customers, even celebrities. And at a recent session of the Jaguar Performance Driving Academy at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, the Leaping Cat marque had a couple of the Hollywood types in the paddock.
In addition to the various (evidently well-heeled) members of the public, learning how to pilot the new F-Type Coupe R on the track this time around were actors Sebastian Stan and Mena Suvari. You might recognize Stan from his roll as Bucky Barnes in the Captain America movies and Suvari from such red, white and blue favorites as American Beauty and the American Pie franchise, but both got a first-hand taste of one of Britain's finest courtesy of Jaguar.
So how did it go? Well, as one of the less-famous participants put it, it was #awesomesauce." We couldn't possibly reproduce in words her enthusiasm in person and on camera, so you'll just have to watch the video below to see for yourself.

2016 Jaguar XE is ready to stalk the competition

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The XE wears some of the best styling elements from Jaguar's current litter.
Big sedans and sports cars. Jaguar has been known for those two things since the company's name was birthed in 1945. Stylish saloons like the Mark 2 and performance machines like the E-Type make up the brand's heritage, but the compact sedan market is one where the British marque has lacked great product.

Watch Felipe Massa put the Jaguar C-X75 through its paces

Mon, Nov 2 2015

Automakers who run their own racing teams enjoy the benefit of having top-flight professional racing drivers on call to help out with development work. Jaguar, unfortunately, has no such racing team, having sold its F1 operation to Red Bull back in 2004. So when it came time to put the C-X75 through its paces in this latest video, it turned to Felipe Massa. Why Massa, you ask? For one thing, having driven for so long for Ferrari, the Brazilian driver is used to applying his F1 skills in testing a supercar designed for the road. But since switching to Williams, he hasn't been called upon in that capacity. For another, it was Williams Advanced Engineering as much as Jaguar itself that spearheaded development of the C-X75. So Massa was the natural choice. The C-X75, for those who don't recall, represented Jaguar's plan to build a hybrid hypercar of its own. Having debuted way back in 2010 at the Paris Motor Show, the concept followed hot on the heels of the Porsche 918 concept unveiled earlier that year in Geneva – a predated by far the emergence of the McLaren P1 and LaFerrari. The original design called for a revolutionary powertrain combining a pair of micro-turbines and four individual electric motors in the wheels. When that proved unfeasible, Jaguar switched to a more conventional setup with a turbocharged hybrid powertrain. Unfortunately plans to put even that version into production were shelved. But the concept was revived for the filming of the latest James Bond movie Spectre. Check out the C-X75 being put through its paces by the eleven-time grand prix winner in the video above.
