KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS presents for sale, here on Ebay, an exceptional Jaguar E-type for restoration. You are currently viewing a 40,000-mile, highly original, two-owner, perfectly rustfree and accident-free CA car. It is in need of a new enthusiastic owner to return it to it's former glory. This car is a perfect entry-level Jaguar E-type that can be secured for very sensible money in this escalating European classic car market. Because of the car's excellent overall condition and it's associated parts, I believe that labor rather than expense would be needed to restore this car to a very high standard. This car was driven a believed minimal amount of mileage when a valve keeper let go and put a stop to the car's use. The car lived in the San Francisco Bay area at that time. The highly original and untouched car sat in storage for many years and was then purchased by a restorer who set about to perform a Concours level restoration. The car was very carefully and meticulously partially disassembled, with almost all components and parts being bagged, tagged, and boxed. Because of personal reasons, the restoration was never finished. This car is 100% COMPLETE in every sense of the word. The car was only moved once during it's disassembled state, and all parts and components were contained in about 12 large boxes. I WAS STUNNED at the condition of all the parts in general. So well-preserved. The car's interior was in exceptional condition, even ready to just clean and re-use, with a replacement of just a few items like the headliner and carpets. Some interior and exterior chrome parts are in factory new condition, some other pieces would clean up very nicely. The wheels and tires could even clean up well. The 5th wheel is the factory original Dunlop spare. All the glass parts are excellent. Every original item on the car was saved and may even clean up perfectly nice to be used again. This is definitely a car that has lived indoors all of it's life... The body, doors, bonnet, are all still in the original light blue factory paintwork. Some minimal body work has been performed, but the car is not far from being repainted! There is a small area around the RH headlight area with some small repairable damage. The rest of the body is near-perfect. The car is completely rustfree. The mechanical components look very good. The original assembled low-mileage short block looks excellent with no marks on the pistons and hardly a step on the cylinder bores. The IRS unit is totally complete and together with excellent rear splined hubs. It may just need a service and a good detail. The cylinder head has been disassembled and ready for a valve job. The front suspension, brakes, radiator, carbs and intake, transmission, steering rack, A/C components, etc. all look very nice and low-mileage. The car would need an exhaust system. This car also includes a brand new, correct, Navy Blue Wilton Wool carpet kit and a new, quality, full rubber sealing kit that appears to be for the entire car. Most likely a $1000 value combined... This Jaguar presents a very economical opportunity to own one of Britain's most iconic sportscars that has spent it's entire life here in sunny California. Because of it's excellent overall condition for a restoration car, recommissioning of it's components and re-assembly should be an easy, straightforward process. This car can be viewed by appointment in Southern California and is sold with a clear CA title. $12,500. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. work, 909-920-9221. cell, 909-241-1051. |

London skyscraper caught melting cars
Tue, 03 Sep 2013A new skyscraper under construction in London is apparently to blame for some mysteriously melting car parts on the city's surrounding streets. The 37-story building at 20 Fenchurch Street, nicknamed the "Walkie Talkie" for how it looks, features a convex side of glass windows that apparently concentrates the sun's rays like a kid with a magnifying glass. Instead of smiting ants, however, the building was caught focusing its sun-sourced laser death beam on an innocent Jaguar XJ parked on Eastcheap street. The intense heat managed to melt a sideview mirror, plastic C-pillar cover and Jaguar emblem (scroll down for an image of the damage).
Fortunately, the construction company, Land Securities, had some scruples and reportedly left a note on the car for its owner reading "Your car's buckled, could you give us a call?" They've also since apologized and agreed to pay for the £946 done - about $1,500 - in damages by their blazing hot building. A joint statement with the Canary Wharf district in which the building's located was also released. In it, the developer acknowledges concerns about the reflected light and says it's looking into the matter. The city has also decided to close a few parking bays that could be in the building's line of fire, so to speak, until a solution can be engineered. Since news of the melting Jag broke, other vehicle owners have also come forward claiming the building, re-nicknamed the "Walkie Scorchie," has damaged their cars, as well.
This isn't the first shiny-new-building-attacks-cars story we've heard - architect Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles was built amidst concern that its polished ribbons of stainless steel were blinding motorists and causing accidents, along with raising the temperatures of nearby buildings with its reflected light. The building's surfaces were later given a matte polish.

2019 Jaguar I-Pace First Drive Review | A taste of Jag's EV crossover
Thu, Apr 5 2018This is literally our first drive of the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace electric crossover. It lasted about 2 minutes and occurred on a tiny autocross in a frigid parking lot in New Jersey, but if we're to split hairs, it is indeed the first time we've piloted this revolutionary EV SUV-ish vehicle from a company better known for barking exhausts and slinky sport coupes. While the rest of the automotive press was gallivanting about Manhattan prior to the New York Auto Show, a select few were bused out to Jaguar-Land Rover's new corporate headquarters in Mahwah, N.J. It was there we saw the world debut of the new F-Pace SVR, the North American debut of the Range Rover SV Coupe, and got our first real taste of the I-Pace. The chief impression is that it feels much smaller than its exterior dimensions would indicate, maneuvering quickly and effortlessly without a hint of roll. Credit the wheels pushed out to the absolute corners and a low center of gravity, both the result of Jaguar's decision to fully embrace the packaging and engineering possibilities of an electric powertrain. The steering was perhaps not as feelsome as other Jaguars, but again, who really knows? Two minutes, parking lot, etc. In terms of power, it sure is an electric car. Smooth, quick and quiet, but with so little space to work with, there would've been little noticeable difference between the 394-horsepower I-Pace and the 147-hp Nissan Leaf currently sitting in my driveway. Its estimated range of 240 miles on the EPA cycle? Uh, it was good enough for an afternoon of journalists driving in circles. What I can definitively declare, however, is that the 2019 I-Pace boasts far superior interior quality than every Tesla I've driven. It's also, just as important, a considerable leap forward in terms of materials quality and design from the rather dull and disappointing current Jaguar litter of F-Pace, XF and XE. For instance, leather or leatherette always cover the dash (versus the rubbery stuff found in lower F-Pace, XF and XE trim levels), while there was clearly an effort made to visually spruce things up. The dual-screen center console controls first seen on the Range Rover Velar also appear for the first time in a Jaguar, as does a unique push-button shifter ( though I still prefer a properly utilized rotary).
