KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS offers for sale, here on Ebay, a complete 1967 Jaguar E-type 4.2 Liter Fixed Head Coupe for full restoration. This car is totally complete except for the bonnet headlamp chrome rings, glass covers, and motif bar (which are all easily available). The car is fitted with an earlier E-type 4.2 engine block and a later Series Two or replacement cylinder head. The body tag and chassis numbers match the original data plate. The car is a very good candidate for full restoration. Some rust repair is needed. The car appears to have left the factory finished in Primrose Yellow with black trim. It is a very original car, having never been taken apart. The front floors have received new dipped floor sections. The previous owner removed the outer LH rocker panel or sill for replacement, and the inner structures and supports look very good. The RH side also needs to be replaced, but these items are fairly straightforward and typical for an E-type. The bonnet has sustained some damage on the right front. This can be repaired by a capable panel beater or replaced with another center section. The door skins could use a lower panel on both sides. There is some rust repairable rust in the tail section and trunk floor. The car's underside is reasonable with good trailing arm pickup and jacking points. The front subframes looks very straight and in decent order. A complete stripdown and blasting of the body would be in order for a restoration of great results. Mechanically, the car appears very complete. There is an extra parts photo that includes items not pictured on the engine, but are present. The data plate is original and correct for the car. The current fitted engine has a blocked stamped with an earlier 4.2 number than the one that is listed on the data. The cylinder head has no number stamped, indicating it is a later or replacement unit. I haven't tried to turn the engine. I presume it is stuck, and would need a rebuild. All of the rest of the mechanical components appear correct for the car. All trim items are present except those noted earlier. The gauges, seats, interior, chrome trim, steering wheel, etc. are all correct. All of the glass is present and is in reasonable shape. Overall, this car is a good candidate for a ground-up restoration. It is very complete and correct. It is the highly desirable 4.2 Liter Triple-carb, enclosed headlamp, Series One model which is very much sought after at present. This coupe retains the spectacular lines of the earlier model with the conveniences of improved seats, a full syncromesh gearbox, the torquier 4.2 engine, better brakes and electrical system. It is a great investment going forward. This car is located in Southern California and can be viewed by appointment. It is sold with a clear title. $26,500.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move
Tue, Dec 6 2016With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump
Fri, Apr 13 2018LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.
