1969 Jaguar E type 2+2
This car started as a very low mile (7266 actual miles!) , solid driver that the previous owner drove for awhile
and then decided to go all out and have a frame off restoration done without regard to expense. It was born silver
with dark blue interior. Automatic with air conditioning. He had the car built for his wife and wanted it to be
more comfortable, ride and handle better, and be more reliable than factory. He also wanted to show it as well.
The restoration bills alone totaled over 100k! Every piece was touched!
The engine was swapped with a new ford crate 302 (the original matching numbers 6 come with). A new TCI ford
automatic with overdrive trans was installed (the original Matching numbers Jaguar automatic is included). The
rear end is the original but it was completely gone thru. Every area of the car was touched! It has an upgraded
aluminum radiator. Ice cold Vintage air system. Power steering and brakes. All that was done in the engine
compartment can be reversed to stock if you choose so. As it is right now, it fires up right away and cruises down
the road straight, you can run 80 with ease. No rattles whatsoever. As I said, the previous owner built it for his
wife so he wanted it to drive easy and be reliable. The car is very well sorted out.
The paint work was done by a high quality builder with a long standing reputation of building quality cars. It
is a very straight, but does have a couple chips around the edges of the rear boot. There has been a little over
5k miles put on the car since completion. It is a dark grayish- green color. I have paint for touch ups if the
new buyer needs The undercarriage is just as clean as the top. There was no undercoating applied. All the
chrome, glass, weather striping, etc was all redone. He chose to remove the front bumper corners but they are
included with the car as well.
The interior was completely reworked as well. The seats were recovered in leather over top the original frames.
The seats and headliner and absolutely beautiful. The console was reworked with built in speakers and a secret
audio unit. All gauges work. New Ron Francis wiring. They did replace the Jaguar speedometer and tachometer with
new, but the originals are included. The title states 7266 actual miles (see pic) and original speedometer
matches, however I am selling 7266 NON ACTUAL miles due to the fact that the speedometer was changed. The
aftermarket speedometer in it now shows the miles accumulated since the frame off which is just over 5000. This is
a common practice when classic cars are completely restored, I just like to keep things straight. One of the pics
is of the car prior to restoration. In hindsight, they would have been wise to not touch the car, keep as a very
low mileage survivor and save the over 100k they spent on the restoration, but this is where it is now. He just
wanted to start with the best car he could find to have his car built upon. The guy was extremely picky and
precise.
This is an stunning car. Upon inspection the high build cost is evident. I like to try to disclose all issues I
know of, so when the new owner comes to pick the car up there are no surprises. The few things I see are, the
couple chips in the paint as previously mentioned. These are not at all excessive, just what you would expect from
the limited usage the car has had since completion 5000 miles and 7 years ago. The passenger exterior door handle
sticks. I have not had it looked at yet. I feel a little hesitation going into overdrive. It does go, it just
seems to me it takes a sec longer than it should. This may be indicative of these transmissions when adding
overdrive, but I'm not sure, this is the first Ive owned with this kind of set up. I am a purist and all the cars
in my collection are bone stock. I thought of swapping the original engine and trans back, reinstalling the
original front bumper corners and speedometer and tachometer, but this car is way too nice to touch. I will be
more than happy to show the car to serious buyers and send any additional pics needed. I will also be happy to
discuss the car 317.667.6240.

U.S. issues new tariff threat, this time against British-built cars
Mon, Jan 27 2020WASHINGTON — Britain is the United States' closest ally but their long friendship may be sorely tested as the two countries try to forge a new trade agreement after Britain's exit from the European Union. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday in London that he was optimistic that a bilateral deal with Britain could be reached as soon as this year. But Mnuchin gave up no ground after a second meeting with his UK counterpart, Sajid Javid. Javid has insisted that Britain will proceed with a unilateral digital services tax, despite a U.S. threat to levy retaliatory tariffs on British-made autos. Mnuchin told reporters after Saturday's meeting that such taxes would discriminate against big U.S. tech companies like Alphabet Inc's Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. The UK Treasury declined to comment on the private meeting. The divide highlights the challenges ahead as the Trump administration seeks a new bilateral agreement with Britain, part of a broader push to rebalance relations with nearly all its major trading partners. The stakes are high — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pegged the trade deal with United States as a way to ease the pain of breaking with Europe, Britain's largest trade partner. U.S. President Donald Trump, has promised a "massive" trade deal to support Brexit, the product of a populist movement similar to his "America First" agenda. The goodwill and special relationship the two countries have enjoyed for decades may not count for much, experts say. "Trump is not going to be doing Johnson any favors," said Amanda Sloat, a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution in Washington. "He's not going to give him a trade deal without major concessions." Even before the digital tax issue arose, the Trump administration threatened to tax foreign car imports, which could hit British-made Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, and Honda Civic hatchback cars. Stiff U.S. trade demands include increased access for U.S. farm goods, concessions that will be difficult for Britain's entrenched natural food culture to swallow. The United States also wants Britain to change the way its National Health Service prices drugs and allow in more U.S. pharmaceuticals, which could prove politically unpopular for Johnson's government. Washington's demand that London block Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd for national security reasons could also cloud talks.
2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S [w/video]
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Withhold judgment on the world's greatest exhaust note until after you've heard the Jaguar F-Type V8 S (scroll down now for a sneak peek). Its cackle, boom and pop under deceleration will have you rifling through its glovebox looking for a tool to remove the stereo as an in-dash audio system.
Combining modern technology with age-old exhaust plumbing, Jaguar's British engineers have developed a way to propel spent combustion gases into the atmosphere in a manner that elevates the complete driving experience. At idle, it purrs. Under acceleration, it roars. During cruise, it soothes. Perhaps most compellingly, during deceleration, it titillates.
Thankfully, the newest two-place convertible from Jaguar isn't only defined by its mesmerizing soundtrack - the F-Type would be an impressive sports car even if the world went silent.
David Brown Automotive launches old-is-new-again Speedback [w/video]
Thu, 27 Mar 2014Back in January, we reported on a new British coachbuilder called David Brown Automotive. In February, the startup released the first details and images of its inaugural project, and now it has revealed the finished product.
It's called Speedback, and it's based on the Jaguar XKR. But while it's built on a modern chassis (relatively, anyway - the XK arrived in 2006 and is soon to be discontinued), it's been rebodied to look like a classic British GT. That means that, while it may look like a classic Aston Martin, it's got a thoroughly modern 5.0-liter supercharged V8 under the hood with over 500 horsepower on tap.
Otherwise, little in the way of details have been disclosed - including what you can bet will be an astronomic price that tends to come with these sorts of coachbuilt customs. But the important parts are what you can see, and that means the finest British craftsmanship inside and out. Whether you like the particular style or not, of course, is entirely a matter of taste.
