This is a very nice 1970 series 2 e-type roadster with its matching number 4.2 liter 6 cylinder engine, 4-speed manual fully synchronized manual gearbox, wire wheels and air conditioner. The very attractive color combination of regency red with beige leather interior is original to the car.

A quick inspection and you can tell this car has been loved all its life. Everything matches the Heritage Certificate, engine number and exterior/interior colors. Looking at the engine compartment you can see many of the original Cheney hose clamps and black plastic wiring harness ties, these are indications of a car that never has needed a restoration.

The car was repainted in its original regency red color perhaps 10 years ago. It is a high end paint job that looks very nice. The body panels are straight and with very good gaps. The best part of this car is the body structure as it is rust free and I cannot detect any metal work ever being done on the car. It is rare to find an e-type with an untouched body that is still in excellent condition. Just look at the photos of the interior and trunk floors to appreciate what I mean. Mechanically the engine is very strong with great oil pressure. The full synchronized gearbox shifts smoothly.  All the gauges are working with the exception of the clock. The car has the optional factory air conditioner. The AC turns on but will most likely need a freon charge, it has been too cold to test. The front suspension was just serviced and new motor mounts installed. The exhaust is stainless steel.

The interior was restored in its original beige color using correct patterns and materials.
The convertible top is black canvas and is in very good condition. The car even has its original Philips AM/FM/SW radio, which works.    

Includes the jack in the bag, knock off hammer and tool, boot cover, owner's manual, Heritage Certificate, lubrication chart and service manual.

I purchased the car in Greenville, South Carolina from its third owner. It appears the car was sold new in Greenville. This car is one of those rare cars that has been in the hands of a few caring owners for 43 years and never abused.

Jaguar XFR-S pitted against Mercedes E63 AMG

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

It was Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar who got the tough job of comparing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S on the track and sheep-strewn British B-roads. In UK spec both Mephistophelean sedans wrangle the same 542 horsepower, but step out of the corral and things look to weigh heavily in the Mercedes' favor: it has more torque, it's lighter, it's quicker from 0-to-60 and it's less expensive.
But that's on paper. Sutcliffe was given the job to see what effect all those letters and numbers had on the real-world driving experience. One of them is "an absolute hoot at the track" with great steering and weight management, one is "magnificent." To find out which is which, watch the video below.

Jaguar sets a lap record at a near-forgotten French race track

Tue, Sep 25 2018

If asked to name any race track in France, most racing and car enthusiasts would probably answer the Circuit de la Sarthe, known for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Then there's the famous Magny-Cours or Circuit Paul Ricard, but not everyone remembers the Circuit de Charade near Clermont-Ferrand. This challenging track has been called a "twistier and faster" version of the Nurburgring, and in its original five-mile form, it barely had any straights. Formula 1 races were held there in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but safety concerns saw the French Grand Prix moved to Paul Ricard for most of the 1970s and 1980s, alternating with Dijon-Prenois. Later on, the track was essentially halved during modernization work, and it's now largely used for track days. The full length circuit was last used in 1988. This history lesson about a seemingly forgotten French race track is due to one good reason: Jaguar has returned to the venue to set a lap time with a new, all-wheel drive XE. The flying lap of the full five-mile track was the first one in 30 years, and the 4-minute, 9-second lap time set by Belgian racing driver Vincent Radermecker now stands as a record. Due to changes and the fact that the track originally utilized parts of public roads, the lap now included two gateways and a roundabout. Unshockingly, those weren't around in its racing days. The comparisons with the Nurburgring are apt, as Radermecker's comment confirms. "I set the production (sedan) record at the Nurburgring in the XE SV Project 8 last year and this lap was every bit as demanding. The longest straight is barely 600 metres, so I can see why drivers used to call this the French Nurburgring." The Jaguar used for the record lap is an XE 300 Sport, which is powered by Jaguar's 300-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine. It hits 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, and the average speed on the Charade lap was 72 mph. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR First Drive

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Jaguar's F-Type SVR has a special new exhaust. I drove the car in Monterey, California, where there's this tunnel right in the middle of town. You see where I'm going with this. The pipes attached to the "normal" F-Type R's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 is a flatulent riot, one of the most flamboyant wind sections in modern exhaust-dom. And then Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations, the group of madmen responsible for the Project 7, comes along and rips it all out for the SVR. The room is needed for a rear diffuser, see. So a new system is fabbed using two fancy lightweight alloys, Inconel and titanium. A pair of mufflers sprout where one used to be. More. Better. Louder. Yes, all of that. Geez it's loud. And there's this tunnel, remember. Enter it and lift from the throttle, and it sounds as though there are some kids stowed away in the trunk tossing handfuls of M-80s out the back. "Big report" is what it'd say on the box if the F-Type SVR were a firework. It's dramatic, perhaps excessive. Scratch that – it's definitely excessive. This F-Type is only the second full-production effort from Jaguar Land Rover's SVO, the first being the Range Rover Sport SVR, and so it's also the first Jaguar SVR ever. Whereas that Range Rover combines quickness with surprising cross-country abilities, the F-Type SVR has a singular mission: Go faster. And so, with a tweak of the electronic limiter and some other fiddling, voila!, suddenly the coupe can reach a top speed of 200 mph. The convertible is not far behind at 195. Although there aren't many places in the world where you'll actually want to probe those max velocities, the engine's 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque are plenty to risk your license. The SVR adopts many of the engine improvements that hoisted the Project 7 to the same power level but bests that very special car's torque figure thanks mostly to new intercoolers. Remember, the regular F-Type R is only good for 550 hp. Only. What a world we live in. Aside from the added power, this is much more of a range-topping special trim than it is a significantly different model. Like the R, the SVR comes only with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Operating it in manual mode is more pleasant, in part because the paddle shifters behind the wheel are made out of aluminum instead of plastic like on other automatic F-Types.
