Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : yajairahinze@juno.com .2nd owner, bought car in 1993 with about 59,300 miles on it. I am only person to drive the car after purchase.
Have driven the car on weekends. This is the 3rd Series 3 that I have owned. Replaced many parts on the car, not
because they were broken, but because working on it was a hobby. As much as possible, all original equip has been
used on car since purchase. Decided to do some restoration in 2004, so car was not driven for several years. Car
has been driven less than 300 miles since down to the metal prep and painted original regency red. Doors
disassembled & inside painted, new glass guides/rubber, window & latch hardware reworked, If an item was removed
to access something else, then the removed item was often replaced during reassembly. Ron Davis alum radiator with
fans, car cools, even in 95 degrees - factory radiator/fans come with car. Stainless exhaust (has 73 style tips,
sorry). Engine was refreshed, new bearings, valve job, new timing chain components. The rear main engine seal was
leaking slightly, so just rebuilt the motor when replacing the seal including new engine seals and gaskets. New
wiring harness forward of firewall. Rebuilt starter. Gas tank removed and cleaned, replaced gauge/gaskets.
Replaced fuel pump with factory type. New shocks front and rear with new springs on rear. New master cylinder. New
heater box & controls. New parking brake cable, new accelerator cable, new brake and accelerator pedals, New
reservoir bottles for clutch and brake fluid. New clutch, pressure plate & clutch controls. Rebuilt transmission
when motor was out, new syncs, new jack shaft etc. New brake pads, including parking brake. New front wheel
bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, amplifier is after market that works when hot, Working ORIGINAL radio. All
gauges work. Leather on seats is not perfect, but not worn. Remainder of cabin is in excellent condition. New
carpet, even in the rear area of cabin. All chrome on exterior is new or has been re-chromed in past 3 years -
even the chrome on top of windshield posts. Wire Dayton wheels are new but match factory (spare wheel and tire are
original) New windshield with rubber. New canvas soft top with all rubber. Newly painted hard top with car, good
rubber & chrome, headliner needs attention, but not loose. Converted to full synthetic engine oil, transmission
grease and Dot 5 brake fluid.
The items listed above are not all that has been done to the auto, just some of them. Known issues, the AC was not
recharged after the paint job The frame and some of under carriage was not repainted, but was cleaned as
mechanical work completed. Bit of work would turn this car into a show car or it is great driver - though its
excellent condition might make someone afraid to take it into traffic

Buy a Jaguar E-Type continuation, get a matching wristwatch

Tue, Feb 28 2017

From time to time, automakers release special branded watches. Jaguar and Land Rover are no different. The latest from Land Rover isn't particularly remarkable, but one new Jaguar piece is pretty special. Jaguar partnered with British watchmaker Bremont for a line of watches, the most impressive being a 43mm watch that commemorates Jaguar's continuation series of Lightweight E-Types. Like the cars, only six of the watches will be produced, and they will be offered to the owners of those $1.5 million cars. Each watch features a serial number that matches a corresponding car, and the faces have been designed to look like the instruments aboard the E-Types. The same goes for the hands, which look like the gauge needles. The winding crown also has a tire tread pattern that wraps around the sides, with Jaguar's heritage logo on the top. And these timepieces are built with aluminum left over from the continuation E-Types. On the back is the most impressive part, though. Here is where the watch's automatic winding weight is visible. It's shaped like a vintage steering wheel, and the outer rim is made from real wood. The weight keeps the watch and its exclusive Bremont movement wound. If you can't afford this ultra-limited watch, Bremont has a line of other Jaguar watches with many of the same design cues, at prices ranging from less than $5,000 to more than $11,000. The Land Rover watch is a bit disappointing, since it bears little apparent connection to the vehicles. Zenith, the Swiss company that partnered with Land Rover for the piece, claims the design is inspired by the Range Rover. And Land Rover claims a connection in that a British explorer wore the same series watch while completing an expedition with a pair of Range Rovers. There's also the fact that the watch and the SUV are both made of aluminum, but otherwise, the Zenith watch doesn't look particularly automotive. The box sounds pretty cool, though, since it's fashioned from Land Rover wood and upholstery. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
