1968 E-type Jaguar Series 1 1/2 on 2040-cars
San Clemente, California, United States
|
This is a 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 1/2. It was completely disassembled in the late ‘70’s and the body was dipped to strip all the paint etc. It was then coated in cosmoline to protect it. I purchased the car about 2 years ago with the intention of restoring it and rebuilding it to the highest standard as the car of my childhood dreams. Plans have changed and it is time to consolidate to fewer projects and this one has to go. I believe the car is about 95% complete, I’m sure there will be some minor parts missing when it comes to rebuilding. As you can see from the photographs all the parts are in boxes or stored on pallets, and I have not done an item by item inventory. I just have not been unable to find anything missing when I have gone to look for it. This is not a numbers matching car. I believe the engine is the correct engine, but not the original. Everything else is, I believe. I have had all the sheet metal work done, which included a new trunk floor, front valance, and many smaller repairs, and the body is now ready to start the process of preparation for painting the color of your choice. I have photographs of the sheet metal work to document what was done. There is no title with the car, I have receipts for my purchase, and it will be sold with a CA Bill of Sale. I believe the car was originally from Massachusetts.

Can a Jaguar XKR-S be drifted while blindfolded?
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Bring together a 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S and a rain-soaked skidpad, and it's almost impossible to not end up in a sideways drift... accidental or on purpose. With that in mind, the gang over at Autocar got a hold of the monstrous XKR-S for the latest installment of "Will it Drift?," only they raised the stakes a little by attempting the feat with a blindfolded driver
We've driven the XKR-S a number of times here at Autoblog (including a First Drive, Review and Quick Spin), so we weren't at all surprised to learn that blind drifting in the car is possible. But what is remarkable is the ease at which it happened. This, of course, can be credited as much to the car as to the driver, Steve Sutcliffe. Check out the impressive video for yourself, which is posted after the jump.
Jaguar readying a pop-top F-Type Coupe? [w/poll]
Mon, 17 Feb 2014Typically convertibles are spun off of coupes, but sometimes it goes the other way. Like the Porsche Cayman that was based on the Boxster, the Lotus Exige spun off of the Elise, and the Jaguar F-Type, which arrived as a roadster before the coupe debuted. But if the latest reports are to be believed, Jaguar could be planning something in between.
According to Auto Express (which has, mind you, been known to stretch the rumors out some), Jaguar is toying with the idea of offering a partial convertible version of the F-Type - something Porsche would call a Targa (and which we would too if Stuttgart weren't so litigiously protective of the name). The additional roof configuration would give the F-Type three body-styles, giving its customers more choices.
It wouldn't be the only sports car to offer three roof options: There's the Porsche 911, of course. Ferrari once offered GTB, GTS and Spider versions of the 348 and 355. The Chevy Corvette has been offered in all three forms, as was the Pontiac Solstice many moons ago. But that kind of variety in roof configurations has become scarce. Jaguar's decision reportedly depends on whether it can make the business case or not. Do you think there'd be enough demand for a lift-roof F-Type?
Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
