VIN: 1R41068 Engine No.: 7R33725-9 Please see photo documentation that supports numbers authenticity. 265 HP, 4,235 cc DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine, dual SU carburetors, 4-speed manual transmission, wishbone independent front suspension with torsion bars and anti-roll bar, independent coil-spring rear suspension with lower wishbones, trailing lower radius arms and anti-roll bar, and 4-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 105” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pFnKnL-hvg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tL3jUYroDg&feature=youtu.be THE MODEL...When the new Jaguar E-type was first shown at the Geneva Auto Show in 1961, it was all the rage. With styling and performance taken directly from the legendary D-type, it set the mark for what a sports car should be. In its initial offering two body styles were marketed, a smart little roadster, or drop-head coupe, and a fixed head coupe, perfect for a happy couple or for a driver and navigator on a road-rally course. On a program of constant improvements, Jaguar introduced a number of upgrades to the E-type, such as the introduction of the 4.2 Liter engine as well as vast improvements for creature comforts. One complaint was that neither the roadster nor the fixed head coupe had much room for carrying anything extra like a suitcase, and if a third person wanted to join the party, there just wasn’t room. That was resolved in 1966 when the 2+2 coupe was unveiled. Featuring a body shell that was nine inches longer than the originals, there was now room for two more passengers, although a bit cramped, and more room for luggage or parcels accessible by a side-hinged rear door. This Particular CAR… This exquisite example of the 2+2 coupe captures all the beauty and speed of the original E-type concept, but with a bit of comfort and practicality added in. And face it, who else ever produced a “practical” sports car? I acquired this 2+2 from the previous owner who had the car in his possession for nearly 30 years, but due to physical limitations could only admire its beauty. Today its odometer is showing just under 90,500 miles, believed to be from new. This is the type of Jaguar collectors line-up and wait for. Treated to a re-spray in its original Regency Red, there were no issues with the body in ways of damage or rust, and it remains unmolested with modifications or alterations. When the gas tank trim was removed to extract the original fuel tank, the paint under the tank and surrounding areas was still show room fresh. NO RUST! With soft black leather on the bucket seats, which appears to be original, all of the stitching is in order, the dashboard is fitted with all the original instruments and best of all, this is an air-conditioned 2+2. One upgrade is the addition of a JVC stereo system which appears to have been professionally installed. Mechanically, this car is just simply beautiful. Recently treated to nearly $30,000 worth of maintenance work making it ready for the road, all of the brake parts were sent out and brass lined, both of the SU carburetors were completely gone through plated and had ethanol friendly gaskets installed, and the engine was highly detailed making this gem ready for the show field or to hit the road. The exhaust is stainless steel front to back. The fuel tank is new. There are receipts for all of the work. Since that work was completed, about 400 test miles have been put on the car during which no concerns about its performance or issues were reported. The transmission is tight and goes through the gears with ease. During the maintenance work, all engine numbers were inspected and found to be 100% matching. All of the glass appears to be original to the car and is clear. Chrome and bright work, including the wire wheels, look fresh and sparkle in the daylight. This 2+2 is as close to original as one could hope for and fitted out just as you would want to order one today. You can search and search and to find one as original and unmolested as this will be very difficult. About the Owner .... I have owned many cars over the years (and still do). As I continue to change my taste I have changed the cars in the collection. I own my own restoration shop, anything that I have done to the car or had done is top notch. My business is not sell cars for a living, I build cars to order for discriminating clientele. The car is in my name. The reason that I state this information is that I don't need to sell the car, nor was the car just thrown together to sell. This is not meant to be negative, I just don't want to waste anyone's time with low ball offers or the like. If you want to discuss the car, or send someone to look at the car, that is perfectly fine. I can be reached at 832 428 4281. Please ask for Jeff.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services
Mon, Oct 1 2018They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.
2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT claws at the driving enthusiast in us
Wed, 27 Mar 2013If you still find yourself coming up a few seconds short per lap in your Jaguar XKR-S, the British automaker has introduced the XKR-S GT - a cat specifically tuned for the racing circuit - at the New York Auto Show.
While Jaguar has left the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 unchanged (550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque), it has tuned and tweaked all the items that really make cars go quicker on the track (e.g. suspension, aerodynamics, contact patches, brakes). A once-over reveals upgraded go-fast goodies including a new ventilated hood, extended wheel arch spats, reworked front end with a bespoke front splitter and canards, a massive rear wing, height-adjustable adaptive dampers, active exhaust, carbon-ceramic brakes and sticky Pirelli Corsa tires. Try as we might, the driver in us can't find anything we not to like about this enthusiast-tuned coupe.
Of course all of the upgraded XK goodness doesn't come easy, or cheap. Jaguar will limit North American sales to just 30 units and price each at $174,000. Learn all the juicy details in the official press release below.
Jaguar may enter Formula E to advance electric portfolio
Mon, Dec 14 2015The FIA Formula E Championship looks poised to gain another major automaker. According to reports from the UK, Jaguar Land Rover is preparing to announce a new electric vehicle strategy this week. And that is tipped to include participation in the all-electric racing series. According to Sky News, Jaguar's electric racing program would give the British carmaker the opportunity to showcase its prowess in electric propulsion. Quoting an unnamed insider, the UK news service reported that Formula E "offers live testing for electrification technologies in areas such as batteries and drivetrains; that's why it looks valuable to them." The program would likely be launched in conjunction with Williams, the F1 team with which it partnered on development of the aborted C-X75 hybrid supercar project recently unearthed for a starring role in the latest James Bond film Spectre. Williams helped develop the battery system that powers the electric spec racer used in Formula E. The partnership could take over from the Trulli team that is expected to soon drop out of the series. JLR wouldn't be the first automaker to participate in electric racing. Audi supports the Abt team, Renault the e.Dams outfit, and PSA Peugeot Citroen's DS brand the Virgin Racing squad. Mercedes and Volvo have also been reported to be looking carefully at participation, while BMW provides support vehicles for the series. Jaguar participates in vintage racing and Land Rover runs the Bowler off-road racing series. However, the last time the company supported a top-level works racing program was between 2000 and 2004 when Jaguar Racing (the precursor to today's Red Bull team) competed in Formula One. It has since offered the XKR GT2 racer and has been rumored to be considering a return to sports car racing, but the trend towards electrification now appears to be driving the Formula E initiative instead. We're waiting to hear back on requests for comment from Jaguar. But Sky reports that an official announcement will be made on Tuesday, so watch this space. Related Video:
