1964 Jaguar E-type 3.8 Liter Sunroof Coupe. Series One Xke. For Restoration. on 2040-cars
Claremont, California, United States
1964 JAGUAR E-TYPE 3.8 LITER FIXED HEAD COUPE, WITH FACTORY WEBASTO SUNROOF. ORIG OPALESCENT SILVER BLUE WITH NAVY BLUE TRIM.
Up for sale, here on Ebay by KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS, is a 1964 Jaguar E-type 3.8 Liter Coupe with a rare and desirable Webasto Continental Sunroof. Jaguar had these sunroofs fitted to their cars by special order by their buyers. The cars were produced as standard coupes by the Company, then sent out to a Webasto fitter at one of their locations. After fitment of the roof, to a very high level of quality, the car was then delivered to a Jaguar dealer for the customer to take delivery of the new car. This was more common on European-delivered cars, as it was fairly rare to see a sunroof car in the States. I'm sure that the JDHT Certificate would have mention of this option. This 3.8 Liter coupe was originally produced in Opalescent Silver Blue with a Navy Blue trim. A very nice light, cool color for a closed car... It has it's correct and original data plate. It had an engine change at some point in it's life with earlier E-type engine R8898-9. Both the cylinder head and block match to that number. The engine is currently stuck and needs rebuilding. It has a correct 3.8 transmission and triple carb induction system. The body overall is decent. The original front dipped floor sections need to be replaced. The bonnet is actually very good with no rust-through, and has excellent shape and form to it. It appears to have come from a primrose-colored car. The trunk area looks decent from the inside, but there is some repairable rust-through areas on the underside. There is an extra hatch lid included with the car that is complete with all the needed parts. There is some minor damage to the LH rocker panel around the battery area. The rocker panels overall appear very solid. Apart from the front floors, the main floors in the car look exceptionally nice and very solid. The doors and hatch lid fit well. This car is mostly complete but is missing a few easy items. Parts needed include a radiator and bonnet front subframe, headlight glass covers and rims, motif bar, air cleaner can, driveshaft, and windshield chrome trim (the lower is present). These items are all available new or used, and are shared with other models. The sunroof still retains all the correct and special items needed for restoration, including the fitter's badge plates. Overall, this is a very good, decent 3.8 Liter Coupe for full restoration. It has the extremely rare and special feature of a factory "authorized" Webasto Continental Sunroof, which would clearly set this car apart from other Coupes on the Concours field when restored. In my opinion it offers the best of both worlds: the visually stunning lines of the Series One Fixed Head Coupe coupled with the open air motoring sensation of a sunshine roof, all original and factory correct to this car... This car is located and can be viewed in Southern California. It is sold with a clear and current California title. $34,900. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. 909-920-9221, work. 909-241-1051, cell. |

Jaguar teaches Mena Suvari and Sebastian Stan how to drive the F-Type
Sun, 27 Jul 2014Automakers conduct driver training programs on racing circuits around the world for a variety of participants: journalists, customers, even celebrities. And at a recent session of the Jaguar Performance Driving Academy at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, the Leaping Cat marque had a couple of the Hollywood types in the paddock.
In addition to the various (evidently well-heeled) members of the public, learning how to pilot the new F-Type Coupe R on the track this time around were actors Sebastian Stan and Mena Suvari. You might recognize Stan from his roll as Bucky Barnes in the Captain America movies and Suvari from such red, white and blue favorites as American Beauty and the American Pie franchise, but both got a first-hand taste of one of Britain's finest courtesy of Jaguar.
So how did it go? Well, as one of the less-famous participants put it, it was #awesomesauce." We couldn't possibly reproduce in words her enthusiasm in person and on camera, so you'll just have to watch the video below to see for yourself.
Jaguar models could rev with inline-six engines again
Tue, Apr 19 2016Rumors are swirling once again that Jaguar might return an inline-six engine to its lineup. Autocar claims Jaguar Land Rover will use the modular Ingenium engine family to create a 3.0-liter straight-six. The new motor will replace the automaker's current V6. As with the Ingenium 2.0-liter four-cylinder, JLR will likely offer the powerplant in gasoline- and diesel-fueled versions. A rumor in May 2015 also suggested JLR would create an Ingenium-based turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit. According to Autocar, the engine bay in the XE, XF, and F-Pace can already fit the longer engine. The automaker isn't talking, though. "We can't comment on future product one way or another," company spokesperson Nathan Hoyt told Autoblog. Jaguar built much of its performance legacy with straight-six-powered vehicles. While the C-Type and D-Type were winning races with the engine layout, practically every Jaguar production model used them as well. Today, straight-sixes are less common. BMW continues to use them, and Mercedes-Benz reportedly also plans to offer one soon. While Autocar's report is still just a rumor, the move to an inline-six could be advantageous for JLR. For example, using an Ingenium-derived design could simplify manufacturing by allowing the company to build the powerplant in one factory alongside the 2.0-liter version. Returning to a design with such an important heritage for Jaguar would also make life easy for the brand's marketing team because it could link the new engine to past racing glory. Related Video:
