1966 Xke Coupe Series I on 2040-cars
Clayton, New York, United States
|
I purchased this car last summer from my 82 year old neighbor, who bought it new in 1966. While the speedometer says it has 25k miles, he states that the original mileage is around 45k, as the speedo was broken for some time. Initially, this was his only car. It sat outside as he lived in a condo in Montreal. It has seen its share of winters. At some point, he stopped driving the car, and stored it in his barn. When he sold the farm, the car sat in the garage under his house. The car is completely original, including engine, chassis, and gearbox. (matching numbers) The car was repainted (original BRG color) about 10 or 15 years ago. While the paint is in good shape, the prep work left a bit to be desired, as if you look closely sanding marks can be seen in some areas. Additionally, the rockers have been fiberglassed, I’m assuming because of rust. The work looks wonderful though, and unless you looked underneath and saw some mat overlapping, you’d never know. The floors are solid as is the spare wheel well. As the pictures show, the body is straight as an arrow. The only visible rust is on the inner panel under the air cleaner. I got it running when I got it home. It has great oil pressure (approx 40lbs hot idle). The carbs need to be rebuilt. It spits and carries on, then comes to life. I installed a Pertronix ignition. A new fuel tank was installed about 5 years ago. Additionally I purchased a new water pump (installed), a 3 row Aluminum radiator, and 8 blade electric fan, and all new hoses as a precaution. (they have yet to be installed) The heater assembly is rusted on the bottom and was removed, but is included as is the original radiator and fan. Brakes and clutch work, though the brakes take an extra pump to bring the pedal to the top. Transmission shifts fine. The interior is completely original and is in rough condition. Included in the sale is a brand new OSJI complete biscuit interior kit, (Major Kit) including new seat cushions, dash cover and headliner. It is the most complete kit they offer. To the best of my knowledge the car is complete with the exception of the chrome that goes on either side of the windshield. Currently the car is as shown with the bonnet off and the radiator out, which is how it is being sold. I have not titled the car in my name. My neighbor is Canadian, and that’s where the car was stored. I imported the car to the US and have the proper documents in hand. Theoretically, you could be the second owner. I have many original documents for the car, including the service coupon book! This car is a good candidate for a fun driver, or has great bones for restoration. I thought I had the time to do this car, but found that I do not. |

Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl ad to feature F-Type Coupe
Sun, 10 Nov 2013Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe patent images exposed, 4-cyl coming?
Fri, 03 May 2013Last year, Jaguar told us that "if you get a convertible right, it's easy to do a coupe" in reference to a coupe version of the Jaguar F-Type, and now we might be seeing our first unofficial look at a hardtop version of the convertible. The German publication Auto Motor und Sport has dug up what it is reporting to be patent images filed by Jaguar showing the lines of the new coupe.
If these are actually patent drawings, they have definitely been enhanced with color and shadowing compared to what we usually see from OEM patent filings. We wouldn't be surprised if they are just altered images of Jaguar's C-X16 Concept, but either way, it's going to be a sharp car. On top of the new coupe, the article also says that the F-Type could be getting the same 240-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is currently used in the Jaguar XF, as well as the Land Rover LR2 and Range Rover Evoque.
Tata Motors posts quarterly loss and warns of inflationary costs
Mon, Jan 31 2022BENGALURU — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) owner Tata Motors reported a quarterly loss on Monday that was bigger than expected and warned of rising inflationary costs. Automakers worldwide have been roiled by chip shortages, supply chain disruptions, COVID-19 restrictions and rising raw material prices after a short-lived recovery towards the end of 2020. "Demand remains strong despite near term concerns ... the semiconductor supply situation is improving gradually whilst inflation worries persist," Tata Motors said in an exchange filing. The company expects chip shortages at JLR to continue through 2022 as suppliers gradually ramp up production, and is also engaging directly with chip manufacturers to secure supply longer-term supplies for the Range Rover maker, it said. Tata Motors' consolidated net loss came in at 15.16 billion rupees ($203.23 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared to a profit of 29.06 billion rupees a year earlier, when an easing of pandemic-related restrictions led to a pick-up in sales. However, the recovery was short-lived as acute semiconductor shortages and supply chain disruptions delayed production, and Tata Motors slipped back to losses. For the reported quarter, analysts had expected the Mumbai-based company to report a loss of 3.30 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv IBES data. Tata Motors' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin, a key measure of profitability, was 10.2% for the quarter, above estimates of 9.3%. Total revenue from operations for the quarter fell 4.5% to 722.29 billion rupees, below estimates of 775.93 billion rupees. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
