The Series 2 E-Type was held to the very high standards set by the when it debuted. Compared to the Series 1, it had a lot live up to, and with the covered headlights a thing of the past it need to perform in other areas. The Series 2 FHC on offer here is a restored example that has been completed purely to be enjoyed. The long time owner gave this car a thorough freshening within the past two years. Many mechanical and cosmetic aspects were tended to, all with the thought of making it a reliable, presentable, well performing example. This particular E-Type, chassis # 1R25919 comes to us as a matching numbers example that was delivered new to it US customer right in Coventry, England as a Personal Export Delivery car. Then finished in British Racing Green with a black interior, 1R25919 was dispatched April 4th, 1969 and was sold new to Robert Tindall of North Carolina. Today this example has just come out of much recent restoration and sorting. Cosmetically it shows as an excellent driver quality example. The finish is consistent throughout with presentable bright work., and good gaps everywhere. The glass and rubber is in good order, and the tires show as only having a few hundred miles on them. There is however, absolutely no rust of any kind to be found. The rockers are clean and straight, the rear valence still has factory spot welds and seems, and the nose is thin as well with no major issues in the way oxidation of perforation. The floors were completely replaced during the restoration and show as new with all new hardware underneath as well. The rear carrier is clean and shows new bushings, seal, brakes etc... The interior is a new interior kit recently installed, and done well. All of the gauges are in proper working order and all of the lights, brakes, signals etc...are in working order as well. The seats, carpets, sills, headliner, doors and trunk space are all new and show nicely. The spare wheel well is clean and rust free as well. Mechanically is where this car strives, according to the most recent owner, and evident by the inspection, the entire driveline has been removed and rebuilt. The engine is clean and runs very strong with great oil pressure. The entire braking system is new, as are many of the suspension components. All nestled into a clean engine bay that does not show any signs of previous accident damage or any issues to be noted. Overall, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire an excellent E-Type that can be driven any time, even daily if desired. With a lot of mechanical sorting, rebuilding, and cosmetic reconditioning inside and out; this is an excellent opportunity for any enthusiast. Odometer reads 63,050 but true mileage is unknown.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move
Tue, Dec 6 2016With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
The Jaguar E-Type Lightweight is back on the prowl after a few decades away
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Sometimes procrastination has its benefits. Jaguar originally planned to build a run of 18 E-Type Lightweights for racing in the '60s. However, it was only ever to complete 12 of them. It has taken all of the intervening decades to finally get back to the project and build the final run of new Lightweights. While Jag announced the plan recently, the first continuation model was unveiled during the Pebble Beach weekend.
Coming from Jaguar Land Rover's Special Operations unit, these cars are identical to the way they left the factory in the '60s. Jag is even using the same grade of aluminum for the bodies, and the cars are fully compliant for FIA historic racing. Power comes from an aluminum, 3.8-liter inline-six with about 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque routed through a four-speed manual gearbox. Who could guess that in 2014 someone could buy a brand new vehicle from a major manufacturer that comes with Weber carbs? Though, Lucas mechanical fuel injection is an option.
While they look old, these new E-types are also a wonder of modern technology. To get things just right, the company laser scanned an original car to create the new bodies. Check out the gallery from the unveiling to see this old cat on the prowl again.
Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
