Offered for sale is an absolutely beautiful, rust-free, numbers matching and fantastically original 1967 Jaguar E-Type Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) finished in Carmen Red over black leather. The recipient of a single, decade old repaint in its factory correct color, the car is otherwise original, a solid and mechanically strong example that is ready to be enjoyed as is, or as an exceptional platform for a concours level restoration. This is not a fully restored example – something that’s actually becoming somewhat scarce in Series I cars – and accordingly the car has its share of imperfections (soft dings, a scratch here and there – all minor), but as the pictures exhibit, the car remains exceptionally attractive. The paint is still deep and lustrous, polishing up nicely and cloaking an entirely original body that’s free of bondo or any evidence of accident repairs. The panel fits and gaps are all consistent and correct and rust has clearly never been allowed to invade either the car’s body or its undercarriage, which is entirely original and solid. The brightwork is in excellent original condition, as is all the original glass and rubber, and the original chrome knock off wheels are wrapped in radial tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s interior is equally as clean. Despite the car’s age the black leather seats, interior panels and dark carpets are all in excellent original condition, showing merely the patina one would expect of a well-cared-for, original example. The headliner is immaculate, as is the center console and dash, housing all of the original toggle switches and the original radio. Mechanically the car is a joy to drive, the venerable, 4.2L inline 6 cylinder engine firing up easily, idling consistently and pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the gearbox’s four gears. Compression is excellent and the dual exhaust emits the requisite “big cat” howl, ensuring that every driver’s experience is thrilling from behind the wheel. Ride quality is exceptionally good, with straight and true braking and entirely solid handling, yielding a car that’s a joy to drive, especially on wide-open back roads. This represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a rapidly appreciating classic that has all the right things going for it: numbers matching, rust-free, extremely original and mechanically sound, finished in a desirable, factory correct livery. As the market on Series I cars continues to rise at dizzying rates, acquiring what is arguably the most desirable model year of the run (the final year of the 4.2L engine, closed headlamps, enlarged cockpit, etc.) is sure to be a wise and grin-inducing decision, regardless of whether you intend on enjoying it as a gorgeous weekend driver or as a truly fantastic platform for a concours level restoration. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further
discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us
at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the
years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d
personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room
for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Jaguar (if the price is
right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate
descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and
we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional
inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our
ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper
due diligence before bidding. For
U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the
auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end.
Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end.
Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with
recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the
right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end.
Thanks for your interest. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla store reboot, Jaguar "EV-Type" an electric F-Pace?
Thu, Aug 27 2015The Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate (CHEAPR) program is creating demand for EVs. $1 million has been set aside for rebates ranging from $750 to $3,000 per car, depending on battery size (in addition to federal incentives). Dealers also get an incentive of $150 to $300 per vehicle to help motivate them to promote EVs. "This is the type of program that can be a win-win-win for the state, auto manufacturers, dealers and consumers," says Chevrolet dealer Leo Karl, who has seen a jump in demand for the Volt under the CHEAPR program. Karl expects the funds to run out as early as this fall. Read more at Automotive News. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is scheduled to go on sale in the US in May 2016. As Mitsubishi makes some changes, including plans to ditch its Normal, IL assembly plant, the company's future in the US is being called into question. The new date for the plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander comes after multiple delays. Mitsubishi also plans to offer a 2016 model of the i-MiEV despite slowing sales. Read more at Automotive News. Tesla is overhauling its stores in advance of the Model X going on sale. The revamp includes informative interactive displays and a heavier emphasis on Tesla merchandise sales. The displays provide information about safety, Autopilot technology, the charging network, electric motors and other information to help familiarize customers with Tesla. The Tesla Design Collection - which includes luggage, apparel and other gear - also helps position Tesla as a luxury lifestyle brand, rather than just a mere automaker. Expect the stores to be continually updated over time. "Tesla is able to pivot in their stores the way they release new software," says Cadent Consulting Group's Ken Harris. "This is important to an emerging brand." Learn more from Bloomberg. Could Jaguar be planning an electric F-Pace called the EV-Type to compete with the Tesla Model X? Autocar is reporting that the upcoming SUV from Jaguar could spawn a whole family of vehicles, including an all-electric version. Jaguar has registered the trademark for the EV-Type name, and that vehicle would likely be built at the Magna Steyr factory in Graz, Austria. That would free up capacity to build the traditionally powered F-Pace in the UK. Read more at Green Car Reports, or at Autocar.
First Ride: 2014 Jaguar F-Type [w/video]
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Shotgun In Coventry's First Sports Car In Decades
For every car, there is a passionate group of fans who love it, and the F-Type already has a few million rabid followers. These are fabulous things, sports cars, and we're very happy that Jaguar is making one again. Finally. (Before you start relishing the prospect of correcting us, the XK is really a grand tourer, not a sports car.)
The main question, however, will be whether someone in a position to buy a lifestyle-enhancing yet impractical F-Type will do so in the face of more established competitors from Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW. The last time Jaguar built a true two-seater sports car (1974 E-Type; the last of the XJ220 limited run in 1994 doesn't count in this league), most of today's new buyers were too young or may not yet have been born. At any rate, the F-Type has a lot of work to do for the brand beyond just selling itself.
Jaguar Land Rover names new manufacturing chief for EV transformation
Thu, May 3 2018LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is replacing its director for manufacturing as it prepares its plants for an electrified future, the firm said on Thursday. JLR operates three factories in its home market but is building its first electric car, the I-PACE, in Austria. The Indian-owned automaker's Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters earlier this year he is waiting for more information on trading conditions after Brexit before he decides whether to make electric cars in Britain. On Thursday, he said Executive Director for Manufacturing Wolfgang Stadler is retiring from the business, to be replaced by Director of Quality and Automotive Safety Grant McPherson starting July 1. "He will oversee the ongoing investment into our UK and global manufacturing, transforming our plants to enable Jaguar Land Rover's exciting electrified future," Speth said.
