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

Jaguar Land Rover opens new $1.6 billion factory in Slovakia

Thu, Oct 25 2018

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Jaguar Land Rover is opening a new, $1.6 billion plant in Slovakia, the luxury car maker's first in continental Europe. The U.K.-based company, owned by India's Tata Motors, built the plant near Nitra, about 65 miles east of Bratislava, to initially produce 150,000 cars a year. The Slovak government is giving the carmaker investment subsidies of up to 130 million euros ($148 million). Slovakia is a regional car-making powerhouse. Germany's Volkswagen AG, France's PSA Peugeot Citroen and South Korea's Kia Motors all have a major plant in this Central European country of 5.4 million people. The company said it will shift all production of its Discovery model from Birmingham, England, to Slovakia amid falling diesel sales, vehicle taxes and uncertainty about Britain's Brexit departure from the European Union.Related Video:

Jaguar to finish building six remaining Lightweight E-Types

Thu, 15 May 2014

Back in February of 1963, Jaguar set about making a small run of lightweight E-Types. It recrafted the bodywork out of aluminum, shoehorned in a 3.8-liter straight-six with an aluminum block, stripped out the interior, removed the chrome trim and fitted lighter-weight side windows. The result was a 250-pound reduction in curb weight and a commensurate increase in performance, especially evident on the race track. The company originally set about building 18 examples, but only managed 12. The remaining six were allocated chassis numbers, but were never built. That is, until now.
Fifty years since the last of the original 12 lightweight E-Types were completed, Jaguar has announced that it is preparing to resume production and complete the final six examples. The company has assigned its top craftsmen to the job, who will build the half-dozen continuation Lightweights to the same exact specifications as the original dozen. Former sister-company and perennial arch-rival Aston Martin undertook a similar task (or at least authorized Zagato to do so) when it sanctioned four continuation examples of the original DB4 GT Zagato based on original chassis numbers in 1988, and another two based on original body shells and stock DB4 chassis in 1992.
Jaguar has not yet announced pricing and availability for the continuation Lightweights, but the first old-is-new example is set to debut this summer, whereupon Coventry will release further details. You can bet, though, that each one will be snapped up rather quick at just about any price the British automaker cares to put on them.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.
