Offered for sale is a spectacular Series II E-Type Roadster - one of the finest examples available. "The Blending of Art & Machine". Full documentation includes; original title, original VIN plate & British Heritage Motor Trust  Production Record Trace Certificate and as far as I can tell everything appears to be numbers matching.

By the time Jaguar got to the Series II they had sorted out the E-Type a bit more.  More comfortable  seating, better electrics, better cooling, and the 4.2 liter engine.  Also, the Series II is more masculine & aggressive looking than the earlier cars

This car underwent a 9 year full ground up, rotisserie, nut & bolt restoration.  Every part of the vehicle was disassembled, cleaned, sand blasted/glass beaded, painted, and all parts were restored, rebuilt or replaced.

Every part on this car received excruciating attention to detail.  For example: the regulator flap inside the heater box was rusted and had a hole in it.  I disassembled the heater box, had the heater core re-cored, welded up the hole in the heater flap, ground down the welds, applied epoxy primer, block sanded the flap & painted it to a mirror finish with Glasuit urethane enamel paint.  All for a part no one can see!

My plan when restoring this car was to make everything as true to original as possible, but to utilize the better quality materials that are available today.  I used as many NOS parts as possible unless there was a better option available.

The restoration features:
  • Glasuit two-part urethane enamel primers, base coats & clear coats
  • Supercool Oversize Radiator Core
  • Stainless Steel Exhaust
  • Stainless Steel Brake Lines
  • Stainless & Grade 8 hardware
  • Petronics Electronic Ignition & Coil
  • Gear Reduction Starter
  • Series III Cooling Fan Relay & Wiring
  • CoolMat High Tech Heat Protection/Sound Deadening Material
  • 5 Dayton 72 Spoke Chrome & Stainless Wire Wheels
  • 5 Avon 205 70R 95V Radial Tires
  • Adjustable Torsion Bar Reaction Plate
  • Racing Bearings & Bushings

This award wining E-Type has received to date:

  • Best of Show Rolex Vintage Festival @ Lime Rock Park scoring 999 points out of 1000 by professional judges
  • Best of Show Jaguar Club of CT 3 years in a row
  • Best English Sports Car Greenwich Concours de Elegance
  • Best of Class 3 years in a row Lime Rock Vintage Festival
  • Best in Class 3 years in a row  Jaguar Club of CT

  • Two Illustrated Parts Catalogs
  • E-Type Wiring Manual
  • Misc. Restoration Guides
  • Misc. Engine Manuals
  • Misc. Jaguar E-Type History Books

The final result is a Jaguar Series II E-Type that is much better than the sum of its parts.  

Jaguar E-Type pricing is through the roof and is continuing to grow.

Recently one sold for a record breaking $467,500.00 & another Series I 3.8 previously sold for $375,173.00

New Audi design chief Massimo Frascella shaped cars for Jaguar Land Rover

Sat, Feb 17 2024

At the Audi brand, style and design have long been a high priority; think the super sleek and sexy A7 sedan, the Bauhaus-inspired TT coupe, the single-frame grille that instantly identified the marque with its down-the-road graphics. So when the Bavarians install a new head of design, that’s also worth a look. Massimo Frascella is that person, a 52-year-old Italian designer who this summer will succeed Marc Lichte. Lichte ran Audi design since 2014 and will take up a new role within the Volkswagen Group. Frascella, a student at the Istituto d`Arte Applicata & Design in Turin, ignited his career at Stile Bertone, and his resume after that evolves impressively. He subsequently held positions at Ford Motor Company and Kia, and since 2011, Frascella has held senior positions at Jaguar Land Rover. He was responsible for the creation of several models: Discovery Vision Concept (2014), Discovery Sport (2014), Discovery (2016), Velar (2017), Evoque (2019) and Defender. In 2019 he became creative director of Land Rover and in 2020 design director. He was also instrumental in the development of the range of new electric Jaguars that are in the works. “Joining Audi is a very special moment for me,” Frascella said. “I am deeply honored to assume the role of chief creative officer and to guide such a talented team in shaping the future of the brand to new heights of innovation and distinction. I believe in the emotional power of design to inspire, connect, and drive change, and I am here to nurture and promote creativity as the beating heart of our brand.” Looking back a couple of decades, it was one of FrascellaÂ’s predecessors who helped to cement AudiÂ’s reputation in automobile design: Walter de Silva. De Silva was appointed head of Audi design in 2002. From 2007 to 2015, he supervised the design strategy for the entire Volkswagen group, including the TT, the Scirocco, the Passat and the Golf. Not a bad list of achievements, but in a interview several years ago, de Silva said that he considered the 2007 Audi A5 coupe the pinnacle of his automotive design art, citing its “sex appeal, the shape of the lights, the architecture.” Design/Style Audi Jaguar Land Rover Volkswagen Automotive History

BMW and Jaguar Land Rover to jointly develop electric car tech

Wed, Jun 5 2019

FRANKFURT – BMW and Jaguar Land Rover on Wednesday said they will jointly develop electric motors, transmissions and power electronics, unveiling yet another industry alliance designed to lower the costs of developing electric cars. Both carmakers are under pressure to roll out zero-emission vehicles to meet stringent anti-pollution rules, but have struggled to maintain profit margins faced with the rising costs of making electric, connected and autonomous cars. "Together, we have the opportunity to cater more effectively for customer needs by shortening development time and bringing vehicles and state-of-the-art technologies more rapidly to market," said BMW board member Klaus Froehlich. BMW and Jaguar Land Rover said they will save costs through shared development, production planning and joint purchasing of electric car components. Both companies will produce electric drivetrains in their own manufacturing facilities, BMW said. The BMW Jaguar Land Rover pact comes as rivals FiatChrysler and Renault explore a $35 billion tie-up of the Italian-American and French carmaking groups. Nick Rogers, Jaguar Land Rover's engineering director said, "We've proven we can build world beating electric cars but now we need to scale the technology to support the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover products." BMW was in talks with rival Daimler about developing electric car components but was also in discussions with Jaguar Land Rover, a company it once owned, to explore an alliance on engines. BMW already has a deal to supply an 8 cylinder engine to Jaguar Land Rover. Carmakers are increasingly open to sharing electric car parts because the technology is expensive and because customers no longer buy a car based on what engine a vehicle has. "Carmakers are much less precious about sharing electric car technology because it is much harder to create product differentiation with electric car tech. They all accelerate fast, and everybody can do quality and ride and handling," according to Carl-Peter Forster a former chief executive of Tata Motors and a former BMW executive. Jaguar Land Rover is still run by former BMW managers, including Ralf Speth the company's chief executive who spent 20 years at BMW prior to joining JLR, and Wolfgang Ziebart, the engineer who oversaw Jaguar's I-Pace electric car program, who is a former head of research and development at BMW.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
