1963 JAGUAR E-TYPE XKE 3.8 LITER SERIES ONE FIXED HEAD COUPE
KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS offers for sale a very decent Jaguar E-type for restoration. This car has lived most or all of its life in the Western part of the United States. It appears to have left the factory in the very desirable color scheme of Golden Sand or Bronze with a beige or light tan interior color - very attractive and elegant for an early coupe. The car is a great restoration project having a very solid monocoque bodyshell with only minimal rust. The main floors are very solid and rustfree and with the original sheetmetal, as seen by the photos. There is some rust-through on the trunk floor underneath, just under the spare tire supports (photo), and very little around the rear wheel well edge where it ties in to the trunk. The rockers appears very solid, with only some bubbling starting on the lower RH rear (photo). There is some localized rust-through on the RH wheel arch. The battery area needs a minor repair. The rest of the monocoque looks excellent, solid, and original with no welding ever been carried out on it. There appears to be a some body repair in the past, just ahead of the LH door. Overall, this bodyshell should require only minimal work in repairs before it is sent to the bodyshop. The car is currently fitted with a correct 3.8 E-type transmission mated to a later 4.2 liter engine (#7E5335-8). The car is missing some parts that are available new or used. The car was partially disassembled in the past and those parts were carefully boxed. There are several boxes of lots of components that are original to the car. Everything I have for the car is pictured and now carefully boxed up to include with the car. Please look at those photos in detail, as everything will be included with the sale of the car. Large items that are missing are the complete bonnet assembly with supporting subframe, triple carburetor setup with manifold and air cleaner, radiator, front and rear windshield with chrome trim, rear taillights and bumpers, RH sheetmetal door skin (the rest of the door is there), radio console, and maybe some small engine bay and chrome trim items. Please look at the photos in detail to see what is included. The car still retains it's original data plate and is sold with a clear and current CA title. Overall, this car presents a good opportunity to secure a hugely desirable Jaguar E-type 3.8 Liter Fixed Head Coupe, for sensible entry-level money. Over time, one can source the missing items for the restoration. The final result will prove to be a very rewarding and worthwhile endeavor, as these cars continue to escalate in price and become great investments. This car can be viewed in Southern California. Please note that I reserve the right to end this offering at any time, as it is also being advertised elsewhere. $21,500. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. 909-920-9221, work. 909-241-1051, cell. |

Jaguar Land Rover tech tracks brainwaves, heart, lungs
Wed, Jun 17 2015Jaguar Land Rover has been on a bit of a tech kick lately, and its latest is called Mind Sense, which uses biometric sensors to monitor and enhance the driver's level of alertness. Jaguar is installing brainwave sensors adapted from NASA into the steering wheel of an XJ sedan, along with medical-grade heart and respiratory sensors in the seat. Together, the sensors would determine if the driver is focused on the road, dozing off, merely thinking about something else, or if the driver's stress level suddenly peaks. The system would enable the vehicle to better prepare for an emergency, or for a future autonomous vehicle to hand off control to a better-prepared driver where needed. At the same time, JLR is also working on an enhanced infotainment system designed to reduce the amount of time the driver's hands are off the wheel and their eyes are off the road. The system determines which control they're reaching for on the display and engages it while their finger is still in mid-air, deploying an ultrasonic pulse to provide artificial haptic feedback without actually having to touch anything. Finally, a new haptic accelerator pedal is under development that could alert the driver to respond to an impending situation without overloading the senses with chimes and beeps. These latest developments follow the demonstration of a remote-control system installed on a Range Rover Sport, and follow in a long line of new technologies under development by the British automaker. JAGUAR LAND ROVER ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH INCLUDES BRAIN WAVE MONITORING TO IMPROVE DRIVER CONCENTRATION AND REDUCE ACCIDENTS - Jaguar Land Rover's pioneering Mind Sense project is researching measuring brainwaves to monitor driver concentration in the car - Researchers are developing a Wellness Seat in a Jaguar XJ which analyses the driver's heart rate and breathing to monitor driver health and stress - Touchscreens that predict which button you want to press as the user's fingers are in mid-air - to minimise time spent with eyes off the road - Jaguar Land Rover researchers use new haptic accelerator pedal to communicate hazards to the driver Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a range of new road safety technology research projects that are being developed to reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who are stressed, distracted and not concentrating on the road ahead.
Jaguar envisions future without V8 engines
Wed, 21 Aug 2013With tighter emissions and fuel economy regulations looming, Jaguar may have to do more than make a small, fuel-efficient hatchback to lower its model range's consumption figures - it also might give up its venerable V8 power, Drive reports. But not anytime soon, says Steven de Ploey, Jaguar's product and marketing director, who recognizes that the V8 can be replaced only by something that offers the same, or better, performance. But he has a word of caution: "We are not wedded to V8s."
In the meantime, de Ploey says there are other ways to reduce emissions. One of the first steps Jaguar could take is to shift away from the use of superchargers, which aren't as good as turbochargers at maintaining efficiency and making power. But he adds that supercharging still is "at the heart of Jaguar's performance proposition," and that the company has addressed the current downsizing trend by "replacing our naturally aspirated V8 with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6."
Consider one of de Ploey's comments on the cancelled C-X75 supercar (pictured) for some clue about Jaguar's future: "Some of the stuff we have already exploited to the extreme in the C-X75 is the kind of thinking for us and is an essential test bed to see how we could evolve from today to something that is sustainable in the future."
Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
