VIN: 1R41068 Engine No.: 7R33725-9 Please see photo documentation that supports numbers authenticity. 265 HP, 4,235 cc DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine, dual SU carburetors, 4-speed manual transmission, wishbone independent front suspension with torsion bars and anti-roll bar, independent coil-spring rear suspension with lower wishbones, trailing lower radius arms and anti-roll bar, and 4-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 105” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pFnKnL-hvg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tL3jUYroDg&feature=youtu.be THE MODEL...When the new Jaguar E-type was first shown at the Geneva Auto Show in 1961, it was all the rage. With styling and performance taken directly from the legendary D-type, it set the mark for what a sports car should be. In its initial offering two body styles were marketed, a smart little roadster, or drop-head coupe, and a fixed head coupe, perfect for a happy couple or for a driver and navigator on a road-rally course. On a program of constant improvements, Jaguar introduced a number of upgrades to the E-type, such as the introduction of the 4.2 Liter engine as well as vast improvements for creature comforts. One complaint was that neither the roadster nor the fixed head coupe had much room for carrying anything extra like a suitcase, and if a third person wanted to join the party, there just wasn’t room. That was resolved in 1966 when the 2+2 coupe was unveiled. Featuring a body shell that was nine inches longer than the originals, there was now room for two more passengers, although a bit cramped, and more room for luggage or parcels accessible by a side-hinged rear door. This Particular CAR… This exquisite example of the 2+2 coupe captures all the beauty and speed of the original E-type concept, but with a bit of comfort and practicality added in. And face it, who else ever produced a “practical” sports car? I acquired this 2+2 from the previous owner who had the car in his possession for nearly 30 years, but due to physical limitations could only admire its beauty. Today its odometer is showing just under 90,500 miles, believed to be from new. This is the type of Jaguar collectors line-up and wait for. Treated to a re-spray in its original Regency Red, there were no issues with the body in ways of damage or rust, and it remains unmolested with modifications or alterations. When the gas tank trim was removed to extract the original fuel tank, the paint under the tank and surrounding areas was still show room fresh. NO RUST! With soft black leather on the bucket seats, which appears to be original, all of the stitching is in order, the dashboard is fitted with all the original instruments and best of all, this is an air-conditioned 2+2. One upgrade is the addition of a JVC stereo system which appears to have been professionally installed. Mechanically, this car is just simply beautiful. Recently treated to nearly $30,000 worth of maintenance work making it ready for the road, all of the brake parts were sent out and brass lined, both of the SU carburetors were completely gone through plated and had ethanol friendly gaskets installed, and the engine was highly detailed making this gem ready for the show field or to hit the road. The exhaust is stainless steel front to back. The fuel tank is new. There are receipts for all of the work. Since that work was completed, about 400 test miles have been put on the car during which no concerns about its performance or issues were reported. The transmission is tight and goes through the gears with ease. During the maintenance work, all engine numbers were inspected and found to be 100% matching. All of the glass appears to be original to the car and is clear. Chrome and bright work, including the wire wheels, look fresh and sparkle in the daylight. This 2+2 is as close to original as one could hope for and fitted out just as you would want to order one today. You can search and search and to find one as original and unmolested as this will be very difficult. About the Owner .... I have owned many cars over the years (and still do). As I continue to change my taste I have changed the cars in the collection. I own my own restoration shop, anything that I have done to the car or had done is top notch. My business is not sell cars for a living, I build cars to order for discriminating clientele. The car is in my name. The reason that I state this information is that I don't need to sell the car, nor was the car just thrown together to sell. This is not meant to be negative, I just don't want to waste anyone's time with low ball offers or the like. If you want to discuss the car, or send someone to look at the car, that is perfectly fine. I can be reached at 832 428 4281. Please ask for Jeff.

Jaguar C-X75 and Aston Martin DB10 spied drifting during Spectre shoot
Fri, Feb 27 2015Based on the cars alone, the 24th James Bond film, Spectre, is set to be one of the biggest and most impressive in the long-lived franchise. While we're stuck waiting until November to see the automotive extravaganza on the big screen, a lucky bystander managed to catch two of the movie's four-wheeled stars filming on the streets of Rome. Italian YouTuber Marchettino, well known for his videos from Ferrari's Fiorano test track, caught the video of the Aston Martin DB10 and Jaguar C-X75 filming in the dark of the Roman night, with the Aston sliding its way around a turn and the Jag giving chase. Not surprisingly, the DB10's Vantage-derived V8 features prominently. This is, of course, not the first time news regarding this chase scene has graced our digital pages. Spectre star Daniel Craig sustained a minor injury in the course of this filming, after the DB10 he was riding in hit a pretty significant pothole. We've also caught 007's Aston filming in the UK.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
Which is hotter, Lana Del Rey or the Jaguar F-Type?
Fri, 15 Feb 2013Lana Del Rey's "Burning Desire" video, the first musical collaboration between Jaguar and its hired songstress, is half music video, half long-form lifestyle commercial for the 2014 F-Type. If you like Del Rey channeling glamorous fifties fame as she lays down vocals of sensuous, languid dolor over images of black-and-white yesteryears, you'll like this song off of her new EP, Paradise.
We think the appearance of a red and brand-new Jaguar, though, is incongruous - either Del Rey or Jaguar is the anachronism, take your pic. That's not to say it's not beautiful, however, so enjoy the combination in the video below.
