Pedigree: This 1966 Series 1.5, all numbers matching, 2 original Signal Red exterior color and Black leather interior, fixed head coupe was purchased, and remained in the same family since 1976 or thereabouts. After the car was purchased in 1976, the car sat for decades in dry storage, (until 1995 in fact), when restoration finally began in ernest. It has remained in the same family since.

The Restoration Process:

The body and paint work was originally performed in Oregon. Then the vehicle was towed to Palo Alto, California, and ultimately to Los Gatos, CA where the running gear was rebuilt by Jaguars Unlimited.

All receipts for the rebuild are uncured in the sale as well as photos of the vehicle during the rebuild, and over since 1976 or thereabouts.

The Mechanial Work: The engine, transmission work was perform by Bernard Juchli--who became, and currently is, Jay Leno's chief Mechanic at Jay Leno's Garage. In fact, this was one of the very last Jaguars Bernard build prior to being convinced to sell out his shop to Jay and come to work for him.

Bernard did an incredible job on the this car: it always starts, and runs beautifully. It is no wonder that the man has been so successful with Jay Leno's Garage. The transmission clicks into each gear just like it should.

The only modification Bernard did to the engine outside original specifications (as far as I know) during the build time was to balance the engine. And for that reason the engine runs as smooth as a turbine jet engine and sounds like one too as it winds through the gears.

Mileage: This car had 56,000 on the speedometer at the time it went into storage wen it was ten years old, and it is believed, but unknown to be the true and accurate mileage.

The vehicle was involved in a fender bender in the read and at the same time any and all rust that results around the spare tire area in this model was repaired at the same time so all areas under the spare tire area are very nice including the tank, and most of the interior.

The speedometer and tachometer were calibrated at Palo Alto Speedometer and read accurately. The speedometer was calibrated to make sure the engine was not being over revved, and the speedometer was calibrated so make sure the speed was accurate after the higher speed read end gears were installed in the rear end.

Al breaks have since been regulate from master cylinder to each caliper, all break lines, etc. It stops very well.

While it is not a perfect concourse car anymore, and while the 411 gears were changed out to a much more reasonable high speed rear end, this is a fine example of a 1966 1.5 series, all numbers matching two (2) seat coupe.

Jaguar XE bares its claws in 74 images [w/video]

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

The XE may prove to be the most vital new model to Jaguar's expansion. But to date we've only really seen it in top-spec, supercharged XE S form. That ends right here and now, however, as Jaguar releases details, photos and even a brief video clip showing the entire range - including those most customers are bound to buy.
Globally speaking - or at least in its home market - Jaguar will offer the XE with five different engines and in four different trim levels. The new Ingenium engine family includes two diesels and two turbocharged gasoline options along with the top-of-the-line supercharged V6 that will serve as the XE's performance flagship model, at least until a new SVR version comes along. Both six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions are on offer, and overseas buyers will also be able to choose between base SE, mid-range Prestige, opulent Portfolio, dynamic R-Sport and range-topping S trim levels.
Of course not every engine is available in each trim level and with either transmission, so instead of 40 combinations we're looking at 22. Once the XE reaches American showrooms, we'll likely be looking at even fewer, as we're not expecting the manual and diesel versions to be offered Stateside. Stay tuned as well for our live impressions from the floor of the Paris Motor Show. But in the meantime you can scope out all the details and UK specifications in the press release below, along with the short video and the gallery of 74 high-resolution images above.

Jaguar F-Type Project 7 arrives Stateside for $135k*

Thu, 14 Aug 2014

There are a great many things we love about the Jaguar F-Type, but one of them is that, whatever price point you're looking at, there's an F-Type for you. (Well, not any price point... this is a Jag we're talking about, but pricing varies greatly.) Got $65k to spend? That'll get you into a base F-Type V6 coupe, and you'll likely be happy for it. Eighty grand will get you into an F-Type V6 S, $90k into a V8 S roadster, and a cool hundred grand will get you the top-of-the-line F-Type R coupe. But what if you want to spend more than that? What if you've got more like $165,000 in your pocket and it's burning a hole when it should be burning rubber?
Well we've got good news for you, friend, because that's exactly how much the exclusive F-Type Project 7 will set you back. Making its US debut during Monterey car week, Jaguar has announced that the most exclusive version of its two-seat sports car - revealed in production spec just recently at the Goodwood Festival of Speed - will cost $165k in the US (plus the standard $925 delivery charge). That's roughly the price of an F-Type R and a base F-Type V6.
For all that scratch, you get an open-top roadster with 575 horsepower on tap - more than any production road car Jaguar has ever made before, and that includes the XJ220 and ultra-rare XJR-15 supercars. The most potent version yet of Jaguar's ubiquitous and long-serving 5.0-liter supercharged V8 is enough to send Project 7 to 60 in 3.8 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour.
