This meticulously maintained 1971 Jaguar E-type Series II Roadster is one of the last Series II roadsters imported prior to the introduction of the larger Series III version. The Series II retained the sleek and nimble size and styling of the original 1961 E-Type design, famously named by Enzo Ferrari as “the most beautiful automobile ever made,” while integrating 10 years of refinement in drivability, reliability, comfort and safety: The engine is fueled by the factory installed dual Zenith–Stromberg carburetors which offer improved drivability over the earlier SU carbureted engines. A larger front air intake as well as the upgraded cooling system with dual electric fans eliminated the cooling issues of the early E-types. The factory upgraded disc brake system includes the improved Girling calipers to replace the less effective Dunlop units. Shoulder belts added to lap restraints 1971 was the last year the famous racing-designed “XK” 6 cylinder engines were used in the car; only 35 were built that year with that motor, 19 of which were roadsters. The beautiful wooden steering wheels left with the XK engine, as the much heavier 12 cylinder motor introduced that year necessitated power steering and a metal steering wheel, further changing the driving experience. In 1998, the owner of this car decided to freshen this rust-free, undamaged, and unmodified E-Type to the high level of finish reflected in the photos. The cost of this project exceeded $30,000 in this “no expense spared” restoration. The exterior color was changed from sable to black, otherwise the restoration renewed the car to original condition. The body was expertly prepared and the color conversion was extended to include all surfaces. The quality of the coachwork and paintwork is outstanding. All body panels are arrow straight and properly aligned. Automotive Restorations of Stratford,Connecticut http://www.automotiverestorations.com/ was selected to perform the restoration, given their extensive experience with the Jaguar mark, as well as their commitment to craftsmanship since 1978. A partial list of work includes: New paint, leather seats, door panels, carpet set, canvas top Complete engine detail Complete tune-up with carburetor rebuild, new ignition coil, water pump New clutch and clutch system hydraulics Brakes, wheel bearings, fuel sender, blower motor BASF Glasurit color code 1250 finished with clearcoat was selected to ensure a permanent show quality finish. The interior was restored with Connolly Biscuit leather #A3243. The chrome trim is in excellent condition including the chrome wire wheels and wire spare with “redline” Michelins. The “knock-off” hubs reflect its Jaguar racing heritage.The leather is supple, cool in the sun, and in excellent condition. All gauges are functional including the clock. The black canvas convertible top is in excellent condition and the eisenglass window is clear and crease free. Throughout my ownership of this beautiful vehicle, I have kept it garaged and drive it 2-3 times a week, both enjoying it and keeping it in excellent running condition. I have fueled it with only ethanol-free high test gas. I am privileged to own this elegant piece of automotive art and history and look forward to inquiries.

Jaguar XKSS tipped to be next continuation model
Mon, Feb 9 2015After the Jaguar F-Type Project Seven, Range Rover Sport SVR, and run of six continuation Lightweight E-Types, the Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations (SVO) division is plotting its next historic resurrection, and there's a chance it could be the Jaguar XKSS. That's the word from SVO head John Edwards to Dutch outlet Autovisie, but we need to emphasize the word "could," because the XKSS is one of about four finalists - a "major contender" - among a long list of 65 ideas for the Special Operations to devote itself to. Edwards said that SVO projects need to have some kind of story behind them, a qualification the XKSS doesn't lack. In the 1950s Jaguar raced the D-Type to three Le Mans wins among its list of victories, but retired as a factory team at the end of 1955. When Jaguar decided to turn 25 unused D-Type chassis' into road-going cars, the XKSS was created. The company built the 25, but a fire at the Browns Lane factory destroyed nine of them. It is those nine that will be in the continuation run, should the XKSS get the nod. Jaguar has already sold the six E-Type Lightweight models, each one for more a million pounds ($1.52M US). The XKSS could undoubtedly command even more, with its legendary roots; the 1956 model that Steve McQueen bought for $5,000 (and Jay Leno recently drove) is said to be worth thirty million. We have to think that even if the XKSS isn't chosen right now, it will certainly get the green light at some point.

Jaguar wants to make real-life driving just like a video game
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover is on a bit of a tech bent today. It's announced its new family of four-cylinder engines and a "self-learning" vehicle Range Rover prototype, and now it's announced what it calls the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen.
The technology is similar to other head-up displays and telematics recorders already on the market, the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen concept takes things to the next level to turn real-life driving into a video game-like experience. It's being demonstrated with data like lap times, grid positions, virtual racing line and brake guidance... even "ghost" cars from previous laps and virtual cones for simulated autocrossing. Just like you'd find in the latest version of Forza or Gran Turismo, but you know... in an actual car - in this case a Jaguar F-Type. It's similar to the Transparent Bonnet system Land Rover revealed a couple of months ago, but instead of rock-crawling, it's for the race track.
The system also incorporates gesture controls and could be configured to display instrument data, a video feed from a rear-view camera to replace the mirror. Check out the details and the video below for a closer look at what JLR has got in store for the near future.
Jaguar F-Type SVR set to go topless
Wed, Aug 19 2015Jaguar's sultry F-Type convertible will soon be getting sharper claws. We've captured the high-powered SVR variant during track testing, and these spy shots show huge air intakes and a prominent splitter up front. They're balanced at the rear with a massive spoiler and a central diffuser that breaks up the angled, jutting exhaust pipes. The cloth top is also evident, and it's presence has been expected. Previously, we spied the hardtop variant. This prototype looks ready for production, with the bodywork screwed down and the head- and taillights peering out. Even the black wheels with thin spokes wouldn't look out of place on the street. We also see the cross-drilled carbon-ceramic brakes. These massive stoppers will be required to slow down the 5.0-liter supercharged V8, which could make 600 horsepower. That blows by the 550-hp F-Type R and the limited production F-Type Project 7 (575 hp). The Project 7 can hit 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds, and we'd expect the SVR model to eclipse that figure. The F-Type SVR and its convertible sibling are part of Jaguar's strategy to remain to true to its sporting heritage – the company counts seven Le Mans victories – while adding vehicles like the F-Pace crossover and XE sedan to adapt to modern consumer preferences.
