Up for bid is a 1973 Jaguar XJ12 Saloon. NO TITLE....The short wheelbase XJ series was the LAST CAR that Sir William Lyon's designed. These car's would set at his Manor sometimes for close to a year as he added touch's. It would only go into production upon his approval. This is a Short Wheelbase car and was the last year manufactured (168 car's produced for the whole world in '73). If you are a collector of Jag's this is the one you want. When sold new they were touted by Jaguar as "The World's only Mass Produced 12 Cylinder Sedan" and with a top speed "Around a 140 MPH" the "Fastest Full Four-Seater Availible". Built in 1972 and '73 only, it's the last year of the V12 in it's short wheelbase form. A reminder of the V12's performance in America came from Bob Tullius's Group 44 Quaker State 5.3 Litre XKE & XJS that owned SCCA class's in the '70's. The long wheelbase "L" series started in 1974. This car needs a total restoration, the number's matching V12 turns over and it has a totally rebuilt Borg Warner model 12 transmission that has never turned a tire. Car has 76000 original miles. Here's the story on this California car. It's original women owner was having transmission problem's with her V12 Jaguar, she took it to the local California transmission shop that specialized in european car's to have it inspected. The shop concluded that it had a internal transmission problem that would need it's transmission disassembled to further diagnose & repair. She agreed and left her car. It took almost 7 month's to get it fixed. She wasn't happy when she arrived to take the car home. After paying for a very expensive transmission repair she got in her car to go home and it wouldn't start. The transmission shop was unable to start the car also. Needless to say she was not happy. They agreed to pay to tow the car to her house. After spending alot of money on the transmission and unable to have anyone driveway fix it, the car just set and set for year's. The good...the bad...and the ugly. It's a 100 percent complete (good), it has a large percentage of it's original paint remaining (good), it DOESN'T HAVE A TITLE (bad), the interior need's redone (ugly) however leather seat kit's are dirt cheap. There is only one spot of rust on the body (LH rear door bottom corner-smaller than a deck of card's). Here's one of Automobile magazine's 10 most beautiful car's of all time's in it's beyond rare V12 form. Buy the best XJ long wheelbase car and use the part's to restore this car, long wheelbase car's are inexpensive and plentiful (6's or 12's). Canyon County doesn't like my car's so I have to sell them all, here's my rarest car 1st. Remember ...NO TITLE!!!!...Has not ran for a long time.....For Part's or Rebuild only......Car is in Idaho (208)463-6364

Watch four hours of fantastic machinery at Le Mans Classic 2016
Tue, Jul 12 2016The 24 Hours of Le Mans came and went, but it wasn't the end of the automotive activities at Circuit de la Sarthe. This past weekend, the venerable racetrack was host to the 2016 Le Mans Classic, in which seven decades of vintage racecars once again competed for glory. The event started with qualifying on Friday, July 8, and racing on the following Saturday and Sunday. Six "grids" of cars each included a different historic racing era, including the early days from 1923 to 1939, as well as that famous period from 1966 to 1971 that featured the all-conquering Ford GT40. The wide range of eligibility also permitted some unusual machines to show up, such as a 1950 Cadillac Series 61 and a 1974 Dodge Charger. This year also marked the debut of the Group C class for more recent Le Mans racers from 1982 to 1993. The 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B was not present, but one of the Peugeot 905 race cars that gave the marque a remarkable 1-2-3 finish at the 1993 Le Mans came back for the event. The Le Mans Classic also featured the Jaguar Classic Challenge just for cars made by the feline automaker, and the race attracted a bit of human star power. Chris Harris of Top Gear participated in the marque-specific race while behind the wheel of a new continuation Lightweight E-Type. And although the event happened over the weekend, you can catch most of the action via the recorded live stream above. It features a full four hours of vintage racing with commentary in both French and English. It's a great chance to see one of the best combinations of classic cars and historic venues out there.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla store reboot, Jaguar "EV-Type" an electric F-Pace?
Thu, Aug 27 2015The Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate (CHEAPR) program is creating demand for EVs. $1 million has been set aside for rebates ranging from $750 to $3,000 per car, depending on battery size (in addition to federal incentives). Dealers also get an incentive of $150 to $300 per vehicle to help motivate them to promote EVs. "This is the type of program that can be a win-win-win for the state, auto manufacturers, dealers and consumers," says Chevrolet dealer Leo Karl, who has seen a jump in demand for the Volt under the CHEAPR program. Karl expects the funds to run out as early as this fall. Read more at Automotive News. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is scheduled to go on sale in the US in May 2016. As Mitsubishi makes some changes, including plans to ditch its Normal, IL assembly plant, the company's future in the US is being called into question. The new date for the plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander comes after multiple delays. Mitsubishi also plans to offer a 2016 model of the i-MiEV despite slowing sales.

The revamp includes informative interactive displays and a heavier emphasis on Tesla merchandise sales. The displays provide information about safety, Autopilot technology, the charging network, electric motors and other information to help familiarize customers with Tesla. The Tesla Design Collection - which includes luggage, apparel and other gear - also helps position Tesla as a luxury lifestyle brand, rather than just a mere automaker. Expect the stores to be continually updated over time. "Tesla is able to pivot in their stores the way they release new software," says Cadent Consulting Group's Ken Harris. "This is important to an emerging brand." Learn more from Bloomberg. Could Jaguar be planning an electric F-Pace called the EV-Type to compete with the Tesla Model X? Autocar is reporting that the upcoming SUV from Jaguar could spawn a whole family of vehicles, including an all-electric version. Jaguar has registered the trademark for the EV-Type name, and that vehicle would likely be built at the Magna Steyr factory in Graz, Austria. That would free up capacity to build the traditionally powered F-Pace in the UK. Read more at Green Car Reports, or at Autocar.
Jaguar details XE for North America
Tue, Apr 28 2015Jaguar is bringing the XE to North America next spring, and in advance of its arrival, the British automaker is giving us more details on its new compact sports sedan. The top engine choice is dubbed the XE 35t, which is a little misleading since its tried-and-tested 3.0-liter V6 is actually supercharged, not turbocharged. Regardless of the manner of forced induction, its 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque are claimed to propel the XE to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. Buyers looking for something more frugal at the pump may be more interested in the other engine option. The XE 20d adopts Jaguar's new Ingenium diesel, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four good for 180 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque. That's quoted for a 0-60 time of 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph. Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive will also be available on both versions, but come by default in rear-drive form. Buyers will also have the choice among three trim levels, staring with Premium, moving up to Prestige and on to R-Sport with satin chrome and gloss black trim, a rear spoiler and 20-inch alloys. Pricing is set to be announced closer to launch, but for now you can scope out the details in the press release below, and watch this space for our upcoming drive report to follow our earlier report.
