Offered for sale is an absolutely beautiful, rust-free, numbers matching and fantastically original 1967 Jaguar E-Type Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) finished in Carmen Red over black leather. The recipient of a single, decade old repaint in its factory correct color, the car is otherwise original, a solid and mechanically strong example that is ready to be enjoyed as is, or as an exceptional platform for a concours level restoration. This is not a fully restored example – something that’s actually becoming somewhat scarce in Series I cars – and accordingly the car has its share of imperfections (soft dings, a scratch here and there – all minor), but as the pictures exhibit, the car remains exceptionally attractive. The paint is still deep and lustrous, polishing up nicely and cloaking an entirely original body that’s free of bondo or any evidence of accident repairs. The panel fits and gaps are all consistent and correct and rust has clearly never been allowed to invade either the car’s body or its undercarriage, which is entirely original and solid. The brightwork is in excellent original condition, as is all the original glass and rubber, and the original chrome knock off wheels are wrapped in radial tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s interior is equally as clean. Despite the car’s age the black leather seats, interior panels and dark carpets are all in excellent original condition, showing merely the patina one would expect of a well-cared-for, original example. The headliner is immaculate, as is the center console and dash, housing all of the original toggle switches and the original radio. Mechanically the car is a joy to drive, the venerable, 4.2L inline 6 cylinder engine firing up easily, idling consistently and pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the gearbox’s four gears. Compression is excellent and the dual exhaust emits the requisite “big cat” howl, ensuring that every driver’s experience is thrilling from behind the wheel. Ride quality is exceptionally good, with straight and true braking and entirely solid handling, yielding a car that’s a joy to drive, especially on wide-open back roads. This represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a rapidly appreciating classic that has all the right things going for it: numbers matching, rust-free, extremely original and mechanically sound, finished in a desirable, factory correct livery. As the market on Series I cars continues to rise at dizzying rates, acquiring what is arguably the most desirable model year of the run (the final year of the 4.2L engine, closed headlamps, enlarged cockpit, etc.) is sure to be a wise and grin-inducing decision, regardless of whether you intend on enjoying it as a gorgeous weekend driver or as a truly fantastic platform for a concours level restoration. 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. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the
years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d
personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room
for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Jaguar (if the price is
right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate
descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and
we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional
inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our
ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper
due diligence before bidding. For
U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the
auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end.
Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end.
Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with
recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the
right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end.
Thanks for your interest. |

On Location in Montenegro with Jaguar
Fri, May 6 2016I didn't know much about Montenegro until just a few weeks ago, when Jaguar invited Autoblog to the country to test out the 2017 F-Pace. In case you missed our write-up, the vehicle is excellent. So, it turns out, is Montenegro. According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, "It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the southwest and is bordered by Croatia to the west, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the northwest, Serbia to the northeast, and Albania to the southeast." That's a dry way of saying that Montenegro is situated in a beautiful part of Europe, with mountains galore, glorious coastlines, and spectacular rocky cliffs that plummet into the Adriatic Sea. Getting to Montenegro is a bit difficult. There are two airports in the country, neither of which is particularly large or easily accessible. Driving can be a challenge, too; since most of the country is mountainous, there are exactly zero highways within its boundaries. There are, however, lots of winding two-lane roads with picturesque views and a ferry system to shuttle vehicles across some of the larger bodies of water. Montenegro is a great place to experience a vehicle like the Jaguar F-Pace, which offers great driving dynamics across a wide variety of road surfaces. And as you'll see in the video above, surfaces vary widely in Montenegro. If you want learn more about the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, stick around for the second video in the playlist.

Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones
Thu, Oct 19 2017While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.

Is Jaguar testing an electrified XE?
Sun, Mar 22 2015Rumors about Jaguar Land Rover moving further into electrification for its models have been circulating for the last several months. Thanks to some new spy shots, there's even more evidence that the company could have a hybrid or electric model on the way. According to our spies, this rather innocuous looking XE was spied with a group of camouflaged XF and F-Pace prototypes in Spain. Everything about the luxury sedan looks fairly stock until you see the rear end. There, just under the taillight, is a circular blue badge with an "E" in it. That emblem and the vehicle being with other test cars hints at the possibility of Jaguar doing something electrified with the vehicle. Unfortunately, there are no other clues here to determine exactly what is happening underneath the skin. Jaguar Land Rover has been insinuating its intention to build greener models for a while. The company even founded an engineering center partially for them in 2013. A fully electric powertrain is reportedly under development to slot into the F-Pace and maybe also for a Land Rover. Meanwhile, Jag has a trademark on the name EV-Type. With these new photos, the signs of JLR's coming electrification continue to mount.
