Jaguar E Type S3 V12 2+2 Auto on 2040-cars
Newbury Park, California, United States
|
Listed for auction is a totally original unmolested Jaguar E-type V12, 2+2 Auto, LHD. Finished in Old English White with Light Tan Interior. Both trim and paint are factory original. Recently bought this E-type had not run for ten years. The car is now running and the following items have been replaced in order to present the car in running condition. Reconditioned Water Pump, all coolant hoses & Clips, Fan Switch, new complete Stainless Steele Exhaust System including Fantail, New Spark Plugs, Oil Filter, Oil change, Air Filters and reconditioned Radiator. Following all these new items the car fired up immediately with no tapping noises or rattles and the oil pressure is excellent. The car will require a good tune, the suspension all looks good but I would strongly recommend a full check over before going back on the road. The brakes appear to work but again I would recommend a flush through of the clean Brake fluid, new pads and check complete system. Everything appears to work, even the A/C pump clicks in and there was gas in the system until the radiator was removed. The transmission changes through the gears although I have only driven the car a two or three hundred yards. The body is exceptionally Straight with superb panel fit as would be expected with an original car such as this, however there is some slight damage on the front edge of the bonnet which is shown in the pictures. The paintwork is original but is faded and thin in places where it has worn though to primer or bare metal. I was intending to repaint the car but thought it would be nice for the new owner to take a view on this. The interior is completely original including the carpet although the drivers side footwell mat is missing. The Seats are intact with no tears or holes, these with come up well with a good quality cleaner and hide food. This car is exceptionally original car showing only 46,000 miles which from the wear on the steering Wheel and trim I would think is genuine. The car will require a full check over and inevitably some work as a result, however this is an ideal car to be enjoyed whilst it can be improved. It makes much more sense to buy a original genuine car in good solid condition rather than a poorly restored car with shinny paint. The car is currently Located in Southern California. I do regularly export cars to the UK and Australia so shipping can be arranged at extra cost. Please feel free to call should you have any questions or would like to arrange a viewing on 001 805 267 6795. The winning bidder will be required to pay a ten percent deposit within two days and the balance within five days of the auction ending. Good luck and happy bidding. Harry |

Jaguar XE hits the 'Ring wearing swirly camo
Wed, 21 May 2014Jaguar is happy to show off its new XE sedan on its social media sites, but when testing at the Nürburgring, it's a very different story. These spy shots show the new model in camouflage to make it much harder to discern, but there are still some intriguing details to pick out.
These photos give us a really good look at the XE's quirky rear end. The sedan has a super short trunk that almost fools you into thinking its a notchback, but the top edge of the trunk is clearly visible. It's a somewhat odd-looking design with the rear glass running underneath the roof's overhang to create an integrated spoiler. Despite the camo, the front end is the same as ever with a blunt edge and sharp headlights. Jag certainly isn't afraid to try something a little different compared to the XE's competitors, notably the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
Some technical details about the XE are already established. This 3 Series-fighter is slated to go on sale in foreign markets in 2015 and in the US in 2016. We know that it ride's on Jag's new aluminum platform that also underpins the C-X17 crossover concept, and power comes from a pair of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, available in petrol- or diesel-fueled configurations.
2014 Jaguar XJR unleashed just ahead of New York show [w/video]
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Just a week after teasing us with the first image of the car, and mere hours before revealing it to the public at the New York Auto Show, Jaguar has pulled the wraps off of its 2014 XJR super sedan.
The British automaker has confirmed that the XJR will be kicking out a full 550-horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8, affording the sedan a 0-60 mile per hour sprint of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 174 miles per hour. A ZF eight-speed automatic transmission will still allow for respectable fuel economy, as Jag estimates ratings of 15 miles per gallon city and 23 highway.
Newly tuned dampers and stiffer spring rates, along with an electronically controlled differential should ensure that the massive power of the engine isn't wasted in transition to the road. Jaguar has also tweaked steering software and hydraulics, with the goal of increased road feel, response and overall feedback. 20-inch signature wheels carry wide Pirelli rubber (265-section up front, 295 in back) to keep the XJR planted.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
