Clean, Well-Preserved Example. Structurally Excellent
The E-Type was unveiled in March of 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, following the famous 11th hour disorder (one of
the cars was driven to the show from England with just hours to spare). The car was an immediate sensation: its
specification was state of the art, its bodywork arrestingly gorgeous, and the price surprisingly affordable. It
embodied William Lyons values beautifully and it is no surprise that the E-Type has become such a legendary part of
automotive history. The specification clearly demonstrated Jaguars racing experience and included independent
suspension all around (at a time when Ferrari was still using live rear axles), disc brakes all around (inboard at
the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and of course Jaguars legendary twin cam inline-6. The cars were continuously
developed, however, the arrival of the twelve cylinder engine changed the cars character irreversibly. The Series
II cars featured a host of changes to modernize the car, including larger lights and many changes introduced on the
Series 1.5 cars including Stromberg carburetors and safer interiors. While lacking the purity of the early cars,
they provide substantially the same experience and are dramatically less expensive, generally about half the price
of a comparable Series I.
This particular XKE it has been maintained with no expense spared by its current owner with most services
occurring at British Motor Specialist . The car has received careful service. The thoroughness of the care is
evident,
The cars striking paintwork remain in good condition and show well. The paintwork is generally free of scratches.
The car was repainted in a portion of the nose, other than that car still in original paint. The paint presents
strongly overall with a few small blemishes and the occasional chip. Overall, the chrome on the car is good. Glass
in the car is good overall and appears to be original. The overall cosmetic impression of the car is strong and
these small blemishes are only evident upon close inspection.
The cars interior is still very soft and supple and is correct in appearance. The dash top appears in like new
condition and is excellent, as are the carpets. The balance of the interior appears to be original and is correctly
presented and in very good shape. The switches and instruments are in very good condition as well. The cars wooden
wheel and shifter appear original and show some wear to the varnish.
The engine of the car is clean and shows well, showing much evidence of recent maintenance and originality. The
wiring is tidy and an aftermarket aluminum radiator has been installed to improve the everyday drivability and
usability of the car. The remainder of the engine compartment is tidy and quite clean for a driver level street
car. The hood fits well.
Behind the wheel, this E-Type is a pleasure. The engine displays good oil pressure, with fifty pounds indicated at
idle when warm. The cooling system maintains proper temperature thanks to the additional cooling capacity from the
aluminum radiator. The car is generally FANTASTICALLY smooth in operation. The transmission is in good order with
smooth synchronizers and the correct amount of clutch free-play. The engine pulls strongly and smoothly to redline
without misses. The brakes stop well and straight with no pulsation. Overall, the car drives nicely in keeping with
its status as a clean and well-maintained 34,000 mile vehicle.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services
Mon, Oct 1 2018They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.
1956 Jaguar D-Type could top $5M at Arizona auction
Fri, Oct 30 2015The Jaguar D-Type is an essential element of the marque's history, one of its most successful racing cars, and one of its most beautiful creations. Chassis number XKD 604, pictured here, was the first of six long-nose Jaguar D-Types made for the factory team in 1956. They were, however, far from ubiquitous, with only 53 made for private customers, and another 18 campaigned by the factory racing team. More advanced than the examples that preceded it, this one was equipped with a de Dion rear suspension and fuel injection. It didn't have much of a distinguished racing career to speak of, passing from the factory to the Ecurie Ecosse team in Scotland which kept it in storage for years. After the team's closing, it passed through the hands of two British owners, undergoing a full restoration at the hands of the latter, before trading between two US owners. Although precise pre-sale estimates are available by request to interested parties, RM confirmed to Autoblog that this example "is expected to fetch more than $5 million when it crosses the auction podium in January." According to Sports Car Market, last year the same auction house sold a customer D-Type in Paris for nearly that much. However at its London auction in 2013, another works example failed to sell despite a high bid of over $6.2 million. If this one takes in more than that, it'll set a record for the type. If classic Jaguars aren't your thing, RM also has lined up an enviable roster of Ferraris. Included among them is a yellow '71 Daytona (estimated to fetch over $700k), a silver '91 Testarossa (~$250k), a rare yellow '95 F512 M (~$450k), and a pristine 2011 599 SA Aperta (~$1.3m). Porsche fans will want to check out the '76 911 Turbo (~$250k) and the soft-window '69 911 S Targa (~$225k). With the auction not set to take place until January 28 at the Arizona Biltmore, you can bet there'll be a good number of additional lots consigned between now and then.
2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR First Drive
Fri, Sep 2 2016Jaguar's F-Type SVR has a special new exhaust. I drove the car in Monterey, California, where there's this tunnel right in the middle of town. You see where I'm going with this. The pipes attached to the "normal" F-Type R's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 is a flatulent riot, one of the most flamboyant wind sections in modern exhaust-dom. And then Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations, the group of madmen responsible for the Project 7, comes along and rips it all out for the SVR. The room is needed for a rear diffuser, see. So a new system is fabbed using two fancy lightweight alloys, Inconel and titanium. A pair of mufflers sprout where one used to be. More. Better. Louder. Yes, all of that. Geez it's loud. And there's this tunnel, remember. Enter it and lift from the throttle, and it sounds as though there are some kids stowed away in the trunk tossing handfuls of M-80s out the back. "Big report" is what it'd say on the box if the F-Type SVR were a firework. It's dramatic, perhaps excessive. Scratch that – it's definitely excessive. This F-Type is only the second full-production effort from Jaguar Land Rover's SVO, the first being the Range Rover Sport SVR, and so it's also the first Jaguar SVR ever. Whereas that Range Rover combines quickness with surprising cross-country abilities, the F-Type SVR has a singular mission: Go faster. And so, with a tweak of the electronic limiter and some other fiddling, voila!, suddenly the coupe can reach a top speed of 200 mph. The convertible is not far behind at 195. Although there aren't many places in the world where you'll actually want to probe those max velocities, the engine's 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque are plenty to risk your license. The SVR adopts many of the engine improvements that hoisted the Project 7 to the same power level but bests that very special car's torque figure thanks mostly to new intercoolers. Remember, the regular F-Type R is only good for 550 hp. Only. What a world we live in. Aside from the added power, this is much more of a range-topping special trim than it is a significantly different model. Like the R, the SVR comes only with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Operating it in manual mode is more pleasant, in part because the paddle shifters behind the wheel are made out of aluminum instead of plastic like on other automatic F-Types.
