1966  Covered Headlight Roadster...If your are anyway familiar with these cars you will know that this is the most desirable Etype made....Covered Headlights...Tri carb...Toggle Switches...Better seats...better Gearbox.....
This car has just seen the light of day since the mid 70s..last registered in 1974....it has been in barn in Weymouth ..Mass . for the last 35 or so years....This car is an excellent restoration project...The previous owner bought the car in 1970 and drove it as his daily driver until 1975...it was then put in his Barn and not touched until the mid 80s when he decided to start restoring the car....with the help of a local mechanic they started to take the front of the car apart....the restoration soon lost momentum and the car just sat for years.....I have know of this car for at least 10 years ,,,,every now and again I would enquire if he was ready to sell....he always said no......recently he said he was ready to sell....
Here is what we have in relation to numbers etc.....
Car Number is 1E12176
Body Number is AE3612
Engine Number   7E71111  9
Gearbox Number EJ 62154
Car numbers are correct...front frame rail matches correctly as does the tag behind the rear licence plate./...
Engine Number on the car shows 7E53918 9
The Head shows no number in the usual spot....I am told that this means that Jaguar supplied a new head to the car at some stage.....to be honest who knows but the car is an honest original car...gearbox number is correct...

The Body     The car was originally British Racing Green with black interior......still BRG in the boot/trunk  also front frame rails.....the body is very solid and the rust that you see in the pictures is the worst of it....boot floor is perfect....only slight scaling....original floors are also very good....scaling only....both floors were jacked incorrectly years ago and have been pushed up a little .....original drain holes still evident.....front frame rails all perfect..........Rust is confined to the rockers........inner rockers are fine.....I have had a local British car specialist look at the car,,, he tells me it is a very straightforward repair......The rust that is pictured on the doors is confined to the door skin and the bottom of the doors are perfect..

The Interior    The interior is actually in very good condition     original dash and gauges are excellent.....window pillars are excellent ..center console and radio section are also very nice.....seats are original and the stitching has split in  few spots.....easily fixable and a new interior is not needed.....restored original is so much nicer...carpet was completely shot so I took them out

Mechanics....the car will need to be gone through.....the previous owner told me that he drove the car into the garage 35 years ago.......the engine is not seized....I put the car into gear and when pushed the engine turns fine.   exhaust is missing

Convertible Top is probably original and with the exception of yellowing of the rear window it is excellent.....no rips or tears...

Chrome....Hard to say....the chrome is very dirty     might clean up to a driver level       it is dent and rust free 

Glass....complete and very nice
As I mentioned at the start....when I got the car it was somewhat apart       front suspension was taken apart,,,,radiator was out,,,bonnet was apart...carbs were off exhaust manifolds off,,    peddle box out....steering rack  ...heater box assemble      etc...

I have bolted all this stuff back on the car ......the bonnet is now together but not correctly aligned....I have not bolted it to the subframe yet.....I can tell you that all the parts are there.....the only thing I cant see is the center motife bar......

You are welcome to come and have the car inspected at my home at any time with proper notice....you can contact me through ebay or call me directly at 603 997 9586

The best cars we drove this year

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Six hundred and fifty. That's roughly how many cars pass through the hands of Autoblog editors every year, from the vehicles we test here at home, to the cars we drive on new product launches, testing roundups, long-term cars, and so on. Of course, our individual numbers vary due to several reasons, but at the end of the day, our team's repertoire of automotive experience is indeed vast. But let's be honest, some cars certainly stand out more than others. So as the year's about to turn, and as we're readying brand-new daily cat calendars for our cubicles, our editors are all taking time to reflect on the machinery that made this year so special, with one simple, open-ended question as the guide – a question that we're asked quite frequently, from friends, family, colleagues, and more. "What's the best car you drove this year?" Lamborghini Huracan When I review the list of everything I drove in 2014, picking an absolute favorite becomes almost impossible. I mean, how does one delineate between the joy offered by cars as different as the Alfa Romeo 4C, Volkswagen Golf R, Mercedes-AMG GT S and even the humble-yet-wonderful Chevy Colorado? Okay fine, I'll just pick the Lamborghini. I drove the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 on a racetrack, in the mountains, and along southern coast of Spain. It felt like the king of the car jungle in all of those places, sucking the eyeballs of observers nearly out of their heads as it drove by, and almost melting my brain with its cocktail of speed and grip and intense communication. It feels a little easy to say that the one new supercar I drove this year was also my favorite, but the fact is that the Huracan is one of the finest cars I've driven during my career, let alone 2014. Judge me if you must. – Seyth Miersma Senior Editor Rolls-Royce Wraith There are a couple of ways to look at the question, "What's the best car you drove this year?" In terms of what was so good I'd go out and buy one tomorrow, that'd be my all-time sweetheart, the Volkswagen GTI. Or if I'm just talking about sheer cool-factor, maybe something like the Galpin GTR1, BMW i8, or Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. But instead, I'm going to write about the sheer opulence of being the best of the best. The hand-crafted, holier-than-thou, shut-your-mouth-when-I'm-talking-to-you supremacy. I'm picking the Rolls-Royce Wraith. I drove the Wraith for a week in April, and was really, really impressed. This car does everything, perfectly.

Jaguar axes supercar plans, focuses on luxury EVs

Tue, Jul 26 2016

Jaguar is abandoning plans to replace the XK coupe and convertible and won't build a production variant of the C-X75 supercar, according to Automobile Magazine. Previous reports indicated that Jaguar could revive the XK line as a grand tourer, but the automaker has turned toward building two electric vehicles (EV). One would be a replacement for the XJ sedan and the other a premium SUV. The large luxury EV, codenamed X590, is reported to be a four-door coupe with a rear hatch that signifies a drastic shift in strategy by Jaguar. The vehicle is said to be a compromise between Jaguar Land Rover CEO Ralf Speth and Jaguar design chief Ian Callum. According to the report, the X590 will utilize a new electronic architecture that can be adapted to accommodate the software for autonomous driving capability that was developed under former BMW engineer Wolfgang Ziebart. Jaguar looks to take on the Tesla Model S and the slew of electric vehicles from Germany with the X590. While Jaguar hopes the EV will allow the automaker to expand to a new segment, it will continue to sell the current XJ alongside the X590. Meanwhile, an unnamed source claims Jaguar will put an electric SUV on the road shortly after the X590 in 2019. Originally planned as a Range Rover, the ute is reported to have a modern look with a focus on aerodynamics. The SUV will be offered as a rear-wheel-drive model with one motor or an all-wheel-drive version with two motors. Both variants will have a choice of three battery packs based on range, performance, and charge time. Jaguar expects to put 20,000 to 30,000 units of the X590 on the road every year, while the SUV, which should be more affordable, will have a production rate between 30,000 and 50,000 units. With the electric and SUV segment continuing to grow, Jaguar is looking to capitalize with two new vehicles that could set the tone for its future. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover moves closer to building Slovakia plant

Tue, Aug 11 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has announced its intention to build a new assembly plant in Slovakia. Though it has yet to make the final decision, the British automaker has signed a Letter of Intent with the Slovakian government. Its next step is to launch a feasibility study before committing. If the company does go ahead with plans, it wouldn't be the first automaker – or even the first European luxury automaker for that matter – to start producing in Slovakia. Nor would it be the first Jaguar Land Rover plant outside the UK, either. The Volkswagen Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen, and Kia all manufacture in the Central European country. VW's Bratislava plant in particular handles production of the Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. In the past few years, JLR has expanded its production capacity to new locations outside of the UK. It has a new factory in China, one under construction in Brazil, and has been manufacturing in India – home country of its parent company Tata – since 2011. It recently announced a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr in Austria, and is investing in its facilities back home as well. Though yet to be finalized, the prospect of manufacturing in Slovakia has proven more favorable to JLR than other locations in Europe or in the United States or Mexico – all possibilities that the company says it looked into. It has yet to reveal just what it would produce there, saying only that "the plant would manufacture a range of aluminium Jaguar Land Rover vehicles," that the plant would be earmarked to come online in 2018 and eventually ramp up production to 300,000 vehicles. The prevailing wisdom would seem to indicate, however, that the site is being considered for the next-generation Land Rover Defender.

With its established premium automotive industry, Slovakia is an attractive possible development opportunity.
