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

Jaguar XE spied flying over London

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We only have a few hours to wait before Jaguar finally, and fully, unveils its oft-teased XE sedan. But the Internet is no respecter of secrets, as these very last-minute spy shots make clear.
Presumably being airlifted to its spectacular debut location near Earl's Court in London, the BMW 3-Series-fighting XE was captured mid-flight, and completely undisguised.
The images are understandably a bit blurry, but they do confirm that DNA from the current Jag lineup is transitioning nicely to the new small luxury sedan. The XE shows a stance typical of the brand, with a relatively short rear overhang, and big, boldly styled wheels. The bluff front end is reminiscent of if the XF and XJ, and, as we know from earlier teasers, will wear a "growler" logo over a black grille.

2014 Jaguar F-Type, Project 7 Concept snarl in Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of nice cars, and the Jaguar F-Type V8 S he pilots in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is no exception. Eric Johnson, vice president of Jaguar Western Region brought the car to Leno's garage, which impresses the comedian with its 5.0-liter V8 that makes 495 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a muscle car-like roar.
But there's a surprise this episode: Leno secured a drive in the Project 7 Concept at Pebble Beach this year, and the experience was caught on video. Based on the F-Type, the Project 7 is a functional concept car that nods to Jaguar's seven wins at Le Mans and features bespoke styling cues, a special exhaust system and, perhaps most importantly, 50 more horsepower from the supercharged V8.
Watch the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage in the video below. You'll need a little over 23 minutes to see the whole thing.
