1962 JAGUAR E-TYPE/ XKE 3.8 LITER FIXED HEAD COUPE. SERIES ONE. ALLOY DASH. 4-SPEED. WIRE WHEELS. ORIGINAL COLORS CARMEN RED/ BLACK TRIM. Here for sale on Ebay a very nice Jaguar for restoration. This Jaguar E-type is a 1962 model, only the second year produced. It appears to have originally left the factory in the desirable Carmen Red with Black interior trim, a color scheme that suits the character of these early Coupes particularly well. This car was recently purchased from the Pacific Northwest where it spent a lot of it's life. However, there is an insurance sticker on the inside of the windshield that indicates it could have resided in Mexico during the 1960's/ 1970's... The body/monocoque on this car is very decent and solid overall. The original factory floors appear very solid with no rust-through, although there are some dents from underneath. There is some bubbling under the battery tray area on the LH side as well as in front of the LH wheelarch (photo). The boot (trunk) floor is solid but a little scaly, with some very minor rust-through on the RH side under a spare tire stiffener and behind the RH wheel (photo). The rest of the car appears excellent and factory correct, with great floors and jacking points. This car has never been restored, and no welding has ever altered it. The doors, hood, and trunk hatch all appear very nice and solid. They all fit the car extremely well, although the hood could use the typical alignment. At one point the subframes had some alterations, but a very nice extra pair and a bonnet subframe are included with the sale (photo). The car currently has a non-matching 3.8 liter engine with a correct straight-port E-type 3.8 cylinder head (R-2391-9). The gearbox is a correct 3.8 liter unit. These cars are getting harder and harder to find so here is your chance!!! |

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
Chris Harris finds the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe rather drifty
Wed, 26 Mar 2014Our own Matt Davis may have called the new Jaguar F-Type R Coupe "one heady rascal," but our review was disappointingly short on drifting, tire smoke and general, English shenanigans. You know, the sort of things that Chris Harris from Drive excels at.
Actually, relative to Harris' other reviews, this one is rather serious. There's a good recap of the F-Type on the road, with Harris referencing the car's "great bottom" and "amazing ass," quite frequently. Surprisingly, Harris says the more powerful F-Type R is just "incrementally" faster than the 495-horsepower F-Type V8 S Convertible. Following the on-road portion, it's off to the track. You can probably predict what goes on there. Overall, aside from some quibbles, Harris has nothing but praise for the newest cat.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
