Extremely rare manual gearbox in a Series 3 coupe is not only impossible to find but is an amazing car to drive
with a 12 cylinder engine. Almost all series 3 coupes are automatic transmissions! This maybe why we don't hear
how great the manual coupe is to drive; because you can't find any manual coupes ( particularly in good condition
). Driving this powerful V12 coupe with manual shift reminds me of a vintage Ferrari GT, or a great gran touring
car the past.
Coming out of a private collection, this car is "piece of history" well preserved in original
condition, never restored, never had rust issues but painted once for cosmetics, never wreaked or taken apart,
always garaged and maintained. The previous two owners left car show plaques dating back as far as 1984 , both
owners were enthusiast showing the car in shows. I think am 3rd owner ? For a brief period.
30,955 original miles, well maintained condition speaks for itself, engine is
excellent,'sycros'/trans./clutch shifts excellent;the car runs and drives as it should. Interior is excellent
original condition, leather is soft with nice color and just a little patina on driver's seat to give the leather
some tasteful character. Original radio,original carpeting, and head liner all excellent.
This car is honest with nothing hidden under the paint ,nor has it been detailed by professionals to
look better on the pictures. It has a great body and the undercarriage super clean almost like it came from the
factory. Because the car is an older repaint it is very honest but there is some paint checking under the rear
bumper on both sides and in a few other spots, but even so the paint was a great show quality paint job when done
years ago. Now the paint needs touched up in these spots, I didn't have it done for fear a buyer may think recent
paint work is to hide problems. I have included a can of the original touch up lacquer that will match perfectly (
lacquer blends easily ) I was quoted $300. by a painter to do the job, but I know will cost more. I almost forgot
the tires have 1600 miles on them,no dry rot. a/c will need serviced, but will be nothing to worry about..
"Cars are only original once....after people take them apart they,re just not the same."

Jaguar brings the new XKSS to Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, Nov 21 2016

Jay Leno is no stranger to the Jaguar XKSS, having driven Steve McQueen's no less. But that doesn't mean he would turn down a chance at another one, and certainly not the continuation model seen in this week's Jay Leno's Garage. This particular XKSS is the first of nine cars built to complete the car's original 1957 production run, which was cut short in a factory fire. The video covers many of the fascinating details that went into recreating the XKSS. Among them are Jaguar's acquisition of an original D-Type engine block to make new castings, and even replicating the type of type of steering wheel used back in the day. Most of the vehicle is made to be identical to the originals, with only a few changes made for usability. This includes better quality materials for the brake lines, and ethanol-resistant materials for the fuel tank. Because this particular XKSS was on its way to the LA Auto Show (where we saw it debut at the Petersen Museum), Leno didn't get a chance to take it for a spin. However, snippets of his drive in McQueen's car were added, since it's the same car for all intents and purposes. What Leno emphasizes is how modern the car feels, also noting that it feels lighter than many other classic Jaguars. To see all the details and impressions, check out the video above. Related Video:

Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:
