Clean, Well-Preserved Example. Structurally Excellent
The E-Type was unveiled in March of 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, following the famous 11th hour disorder (one of
the cars was driven to the show from England with just hours to spare). The car was an immediate sensation: its
specification was state of the art, its bodywork arrestingly gorgeous, and the price surprisingly affordable. It
embodied William Lyons values beautifully and it is no surprise that the E-Type has become such a legendary part of
automotive history. The specification clearly demonstrated Jaguars racing experience and included independent
suspension all around (at a time when Ferrari was still using live rear axles), disc brakes all around (inboard at
the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and of course Jaguars legendary twin cam inline-6. The cars were continuously
developed, however, the arrival of the twelve cylinder engine changed the cars character irreversibly. The Series
II cars featured a host of changes to modernize the car, including larger lights and many changes introduced on the
Series 1.5 cars including Stromberg carburetors and safer interiors. While lacking the purity of the early cars,
they provide substantially the same experience and are dramatically less expensive, generally about half the price
of a comparable Series I.
This particular XKE it has been maintained with no expense spared by its current owner with most services
occurring at British Motor Specialist . The car has received careful service. The thoroughness of the care is
evident,
The cars striking paintwork remain in good condition and show well. The paintwork is generally free of scratches.
The car was repainted in a portion of the nose, other than that car still in original paint. The paint presents
strongly overall with a few small blemishes and the occasional chip. Overall, the chrome on the car is good. Glass
in the car is good overall and appears to be original. The overall cosmetic impression of the car is strong and
these small blemishes are only evident upon close inspection.
The cars interior is still very soft and supple and is correct in appearance. The dash top appears in like new
condition and is excellent, as are the carpets. The balance of the interior appears to be original and is correctly
presented and in very good shape. The switches and instruments are in very good condition as well. The cars wooden
wheel and shifter appear original and show some wear to the varnish.
The engine of the car is clean and shows well, showing much evidence of recent maintenance and originality. The
wiring is tidy and an aftermarket aluminum radiator has been installed to improve the everyday drivability and
usability of the car. The remainder of the engine compartment is tidy and quite clean for a driver level street
car. The hood fits well.
Behind the wheel, this E-Type is a pleasure. The engine displays good oil pressure, with fifty pounds indicated at
idle when warm. The cooling system maintains proper temperature thanks to the additional cooling capacity from the
aluminum radiator. The car is generally FANTASTICALLY smooth in operation. The transmission is in good order with
smooth synchronizers and the correct amount of clutch free-play. The engine pulls strongly and smoothly to redline
without misses. The brakes stop well and straight with no pulsation. Overall, the car drives nicely in keeping with
its status as a clean and well-maintained 34,000 mile vehicle.

Jaguar working on lighter F-Type with C-X75's twin-charged engine?
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Every automaker has its own agenda when it comes to concept cars. Some roll them out just to showcase where it's heading. Others create them to gauge public opinion for a potential production model. Still others only showcase a concept car to preview a model that's already well underway. Jaguar is just such a company.
In the last several years, Coventry has only produced a handful of concept cars, and each of them - the C-X16 that foreshadowed the F-Type, the C-X17 that previews the upcoming crossover and Project 7 that is now entering limited production - has led straight to the introduction of a new, commercially available model. Except for one: the C-X75.
The extreme lightweight supercar was set to succeed the XJ220 with a number of advanced technologies, but unfortunately Jaguar ended up pulling the plug to watch from the sidelines as McLaren, Ferrari and Porsche got all the attention for their new hybrid hypercars. But that doesn't mean that some of the technologies initially developed for the C-X75 won't find their way into other Jaguar products.
2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR First Drive
Fri, Sep 2 2016Jaguar's F-Type SVR has a special new exhaust. I drove the car in Monterey, California, where there's this tunnel right in the middle of town. You see where I'm going with this. The pipes attached to the "normal" F-Type R's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 is a flatulent riot, one of the most flamboyant wind sections in modern exhaust-dom. And then Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations, the group of madmen responsible for the Project 7, comes along and rips it all out for the SVR. The room is needed for a rear diffuser, see. So a new system is fabbed using two fancy lightweight alloys, Inconel and titanium. A pair of mufflers sprout where one used to be. More. Better. Louder. Yes, all of that. Geez it's loud. And there's this tunnel, remember. Enter it and lift from the throttle, and it sounds as though there are some kids stowed away in the trunk tossing handfuls of M-80s out the back. "Big report" is what it'd say on the box if the F-Type SVR were a firework. It's dramatic, perhaps excessive. Scratch that – it's definitely excessive. This F-Type is only the second full-production effort from Jaguar Land Rover's SVO, the first being the Range Rover Sport SVR, and so it's also the first Jaguar SVR ever. Whereas that Range Rover combines quickness with surprising cross-country abilities, the F-Type SVR has a singular mission: Go faster. And so, with a tweak of the electronic limiter and some other fiddling, voila!, suddenly the coupe can reach a top speed of 200 mph. The convertible is not far behind at 195. Although there aren't many places in the world where you'll actually want to probe those max velocities, the engine's 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque are plenty to risk your license. The SVR adopts many of the engine improvements that hoisted the Project 7 to the same power level but bests that very special car's torque figure thanks mostly to new intercoolers. Remember, the regular F-Type R is only good for 550 hp. Only. What a world we live in. Aside from the added power, this is much more of a range-topping special trim than it is a significantly different model. Like the R, the SVR comes only with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Operating it in manual mode is more pleasant, in part because the paddle shifters behind the wheel are made out of aluminum instead of plastic like on other automatic F-Types.
Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones
Thu, Oct 19 2017While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.
