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

Latest Jaguar XJ snaps show old versus new

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

It is a rare day when automakers line up their current models and test cars right next to each other and allow us to compare them directly. However, Jaguar ending up doing just that during cold weather testing of the face lifted XJ, providing the perfect chance to see just what the company is changing.
We spotted the refreshed XJ testing last year, and it hasn't evolved much since then. The updated model sports clear turn signals and a slightly revised front air dam. The modifications are similarly minor at the rear. The bumper appears to dip down slightly further on the new sedan. Thankfully, those gorgeous taillights are still draped over the back of the car. The exhaust outlets have switched to oval shapes rather than the current parallelograms. This alteration could just be chalked up to it being a test car, but the previous tester we saw had a similar design. It's possible that the camouflage could be hiding other revisions, but don't expect anything radical from the facelift.
Our previous report indicated that Jaguar is also planning some interior upgrades with new infotainment and ambient lighting. The company seems to feel that there isn't a point in messing with the XJ's design just yet, since all of the changes we see here are very subtle. No problems, here - to our eyes, the big Jag is still one of the prettier sedans on the road today.

Jaguar Land Rover considering Mexican plant

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been expanding its production out of the UK and into overseas markets, and according to the latest word from Bloomberg, the British automaker is considering spending more than half a billion dollars to build a new assembly plant somewhere in Mexico. Since the Range Rover Sport and Evoque are two of the company's top sellers in the US, those would reportedly be the most likely to be manufactured at the Mexican plant, although Jaguars could follow as well. The automaker was previously said to be leaning towards a location in the Southern US, and while it could conceivably proceed with plans for both, it would be more likely to go with one or the other. State and local authorities below the Mason-Dixon line have been soliciting the business with various incentives, but lower labor costs South of the Border could prove more attractive to JLR and its parent company Tata. It wouldn't be the first, after all. Over the past month alone, General Motors committed to building the next Chevy Cruze in Mexico, Toyota did the same with the Corolla, Hyundai was reported to be considering a similar step, and Ford announced two new plants in the country amounting to a $2.5-billion investment. Luxury automakers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes have also been delving into Mexican production as well, blazing a path that JLR could potentially follow. The British automaker recently opened a plant in China and another in Brazil, while investing in additional facilities in the UK as well.
