Offered for sale is an entirely solid, incredibly original, numbers matching, 57,000 original mile 1964 Jaguar Series I 3.8L E-Type Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) finished in its rare, factory correct Black over Biscuit. Garaged and well loved from new and having never been restored, this three owner car is the proverbial “survivor”, used as a weekend driver throughout the nearly 50 years since Max Hoffman imported the car. Based on this history, ownership, and the condition of the car’s telltale points, it’s believed that the 57k miles registering on the odometer are entirely original. According to the most recent owner, the original owner kept the car immaculate until the late 1970s, at which point it was purchased by a professional photographer and architectural preservationist from the historic town of New Castle, Delaware. His tenure of ownership would continue for the ensuing +/-25 years, before finding the third local buyer in 2002, a buyer whom he found through the local Jaguar Owner's club and one that he could be sure would provide the E-Type the same kind of care and preservation to which it had grown accustomed. As offered today, the car is not without its minor aesthetic blemishes, but as the pictures exhibit, it is still abundantly presentable. The deep black finish, while showing its age, polishes up nicely, the glass is in excellent condition and the brightwork shows only minimal wear, with no dings or flaking chrome. The original chrome knock-off wheels are wrapped in Michelin radial tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s body displays absolutely no evidence of rust or bondo and is extremely straight, with excellent panel fits and gaps all around. The wonderfully offsetting Biscuit interior is equally clean, showing only minimal wear to the Connelly leather, interior panels, carpets and headliner. The car also retains its period Blaupunkt radio, full wire wheel spare and changing tools. Always maintained and consistently taken out to stretch its legs, the car is in fantastic shape mechanically, its original 3.8L inline six with triple SU carburetors starting right up without any smoke or hesitation. Pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the original Moss gearbox’s gears, it propels the car down the highway with grin-inducing force. The car drives and brakes straight, handles crisply and thoroughly provides the early E-Type’s trademark visceral feel. The car’s undercarriage is solid and free of corrosion and the engine bay is entirely sanitary, further testament to the amount of miles the car has traveled. This is an excellent opportunity at acquiring an extremely desirable, solid and mechanically strong example, finished in it’s rare, factory correct color. Whether continuing its tenure as a wonderfully original weekend driver or as the ideal platform for an uncomplicated concours quality restoration, this 1964 E-Type FHC is sure to provide strong investment upside while bringing its next owner the same joy imparted upon its previous caretakers. Please bid accordingly. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557.

Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump
Fri, Apr 13 2018LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Jaguar's F-Sleigh replaces reindeer with jet power
Fri, Dec 18 2015'Tis the season for automakers to demonstrate how they would design Santa's famous (if fictitious) sleigh. The F-Sleigh concept is based on the F-Type convertible, but this one has skids instead of wheels, a pair of jet engines in place of the supercharged V8, the requisite red nose (embossed with the Growler emblem), and of course plenty of room for gifts. This is the second time we've seen a modern Jaguar design incorporating small turbines, and takes the idea of a 550-horse open sleigh to new heights. Jaguar rendered the design in an ice sculpture and is displaying it this holiday season at the London Edition hotel in the British capital. Joining the F-Sleigh on display are some of the more tempting items from the latest Jaguar and Land Rover merchandise collections, including a 1:8 scale model of a 1957 XKSS and a Defender pedal car. But it's the centerpiece that caught our attention, looking at least as cool as some of the designs we've seen from the likes of Ford, Honda, Lexus, Bentley, or even Jaguar Land Rover's previous concepts. Now if you'll excuse us, we have to rush down to the fireplace to replace the milk and cookies with a tanker full of jet fuel.

A special ice-sculpture of a Christmas-inspired Jaguar design was exclusively revealed at the London Edition hotel to celebrate the merchandise and luxury goods launch. Codenamed 'F-SLEIGH', the Jaguar Christmas sleigh takes inspiration from the Jaguar F-TYPE convertible, but with skates in place of wheels, a generous open luggage compartment for gifts and jet power to generate Jaguar's renowned supercharged performance through the night sky. A Growler-embossed red nose completes the F-SLEIGH's Christmas theme.
