I purchased this cars years ago from my brother. He in turn had purchased it from an elderly man that had kept the
car garaged in San Diego. There is no significant rust on the car. The paint was stripped early in the life of the
car. The body was lead filled and repainted the original factory color. There is one small thumb side indention in
the side of the right front fender. You cannot pick it up in the pictures. The original engine was rebuilt about 8
years ago by Walt's Jaguars in Idaho. It was built back to stock specs with the addition of some nice Iskaderian
cams. The car idles nicely and you do notice the cams in the higher rpm ranges. A standard upgrade to the car is
the addition of the T5 5 speed manual transmission. You run about 2700 rpm at 70 to 75 mph in fifth gear. Very
relaxed. There is about 3500 miles on this set up. I upgraded the clutch to a center force unit and it has a good
feel. I have a stack of receipts that go with the car. Maintenance has been kept up on the car. The work has ben
professionally done by Auto House of Clovis. They maintain my other British Cars and they do quality work. The
pictures should speak for them selves. There are small items to attend to as is there is with any older British
car. The choke knob needs to be reattached and the oil pressure gauges needs to be upgraded to a mechanical unit. I
have had mechanical oil pressure gauges fitted and the pressure is good. I drive the car once a month on a 150 mile
round trip to visit my mother in Merced, Ca. The pictures were taken after my return last Sunday.Car runs great and
has never overheated on me. The aluminum radiator was fitted when the engine was rebuilt. The fans were rebuilt at
the same time. The interior is original and is worn in spots. There are no rips or tears. It is just a well
maintained old car. I hate to see it sit. Somebody else should be enjoying it. I have too many other cars and I
just do not drive this one enough.

Jay Leno checks out a replica 1937 Jaguar SS100
Tue, Nov 3 2015This 1937 Jaguar SS100 might be fantastic, but it's not an original. It's a replica, but one built to exacting standards and the original design. And it stopped by Jay Leno's Garage for a quick spin. The original was built by SS Cars Ltd, the precursor of the company we know today as Jaguar – and which changed its name and logo after WWII for reasons that shouldn't require explanation. There were only a few hundred of them made between 1936 and 1940, but they remain a popular choice among recreation manufacturers. Many of those replica constructors are based out of the UK, but this particular example is the work of one Jason Len, head of XKs Unlimited out of San Luis Obispo, CA. Len and company will produce a turnkey replica of the pre-war Jag convertible starting at $170,000. Which may seem like an awful lot for a replica, but that price may seem entirely reasonable when you see all the attention that goes in to building one. Watch the video above to see for yourself.

Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
Watch four hours of fantastic machinery at Le Mans Classic 2016
Tue, Jul 12 2016The 24 Hours of Le Mans came and went, but it wasn't the end of the automotive activities at Circuit de la Sarthe. This past weekend, the venerable racetrack was host to the 2016 Le Mans Classic, in which seven decades of vintage racecars once again competed for glory. The event started with qualifying on Friday, July 8, and racing on the following Saturday and Sunday. Six "grids" of cars each included a different historic racing era, including the early days from 1923 to 1939, as well as that famous period from 1966 to 1971 that featured the all-conquering Ford GT40. The wide range of eligibility also permitted some unusual machines to show up, such as a 1950 Cadillac Series 61 and a 1974 Dodge Charger. This year also marked the debut of the Group C class for more recent Le Mans racers from 1982 to 1993. The 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B was not present, but one of the Peugeot 905 race cars that gave the marque a remarkable 1-2-3 finish at the 1993 Le Mans came back for the event. The Le Mans Classic also featured the Jaguar Classic Challenge just for cars made by the feline automaker, and the race attracted a bit of human star power. Chris Harris of Top Gear participated in the marque-specific race while behind the wheel of a new continuation Lightweight E-Type. And although the event happened over the weekend, you can catch most of the action via the recorded live stream above. It features a full four hours of vintage racing with commentary in both French and English. It's a great chance to see one of the best combinations of classic cars and historic venues out there.
