I am selling my 1967 Jag 2+2 project. We purchased it as a complete driver car minus the engine and trans. It came with a Ford V8 conversion kit, headers, ect but we didn't want to build it that way. I am a former Toyota mechanic and had an '86 Supra drivetrain in the shop. It fit with very little modification in the engine bay. We were building it as a driver and so i wasn't interested in the the typical wiring, leaking, and carb problems. We wanted to retain the DOHC 6 look but wanted EFI reliability and performance that the Supra has.

I rebuilt the engine stock but polished anything aluminum, and there is alot of aluminum on this engine. It has a new clutch, pressure plate, throwout, ect. It is a 5 speed manual trans. I had a custom driveshaft built for Toyota trans to Jag differential. It has new adjustable front gas shocks.  I have many new brake parts for it (pads, SS lines, ect.) The alternator had to be relocated under the front of the engine rather to the side and it is approx 70% finished. The stock exhaust will clear but will need a good bender to fit it.  Everything else fits very nicely. We removed the complete wiring harness from the Supra and currently the harness has been fit into the jag but will require the finishing of connecting things. I have a very good factory Supra wiring manual to complete the process.
The body needed some new sheetmetal. A small section of the floor was replaced, new rockers, new trunk floor and new quarters were built and and installed. Once the sheetmetal was installed I did the bodywork and paint. I shot House of Color Blood Red on the car and cleared it. There was some slight overlapping so it still needs to be touched up and buffed out. I installed Mazda door latches for safety. Otherwise the body is stock appearing. Glass is all very good. I have new many new chrome pieces for it. It has billet aluminum pedals.
The original black interior is still in very nice, usable condition. I purchased later Jag dash gauges, electric, to work with the Toyota wiring harness and sensors.The original gauges come with the car. Included with the car are many new parts such as a HD aluminum radiator, wood grain dash, new chrome bumpers, ect. The wheels are good for a driver.
Overall, this is going to be a very neat driver when completed. It retains its original look, even the engine will fool many people as being the original, but you will have a major upgrade for performance and reliability. It is 100+% complete for parts needed and about 80% completed to finish it. Comes with clear title.

Please ask any questions before bidding. Sold as is. Serious bidders only

Jaguar releases C-X75 concept build story

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

If you want to know what was going through the minds of decisionmakers at Jaguar when the company decided to build the batty C-X75 Concept, look no further than the quick video after the jump. Jaguar set about building a car with the performance of a Bugatti Veyron, the electric range of a Chevrolet Volt and the emissions of a Toyota Prius, and they turned to a legendary engineering firm to help make it happen. Williams, the same crew behind Williams F1, helped Jaguar stitch the concept car together, and the result is unlike anything we've seen before.
The twin-charged 1.6-liter four-cylinder mounted amidship is paired with an electric motor at each wheel for a combined output of over 850 horsepower. And, since the whole chassis is hewn from carbon fiber, a production version would've been light enough to give machines like the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari a run for their money. Shame they apparently couldn't make the business case work. Watch the concept build story in the video below for yourself.

Jaguar Land Rover UK factories could shut down in two weeks due to coronavirus

Tue, Feb 18 2020

COVENTRY, 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."

Jaguar releases Desire short film starring F-Type and Damian Lewis

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

After stoking the hype with a theatrical-style trailer, Jaguar has finally released the full-length version of its mini-movie, Desire, to help kick off the new 2014 Jaguar F-Type. Starring Homeland actor Damian Lewis across from the lovely Shannyn Sossamon, the film has been turned loose on YouTube after an initial debut at the Sundance London film and music festival.
Shot in Chile's rather breathtaking Atacama Desert, Desire is described by the producers as being "A story of betrayal, retribution, passion and greed." Lewis plays the lead role of Clark, a high-end car delivery guy (great work if you can get it), who runs into an unexpected, sexy mystery when shuttling the lovely F-Type to the middle of nowhere. Who could have guessed?
We won't spoil any of the not-exactly-serious 13-minute plot for you; scroll down below to see for yourself if the theatrical pomp and circumstance is worthy of Jag's newest roadster.
