KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS presents for sale, here on Ebay, an exceptional Jaguar E-type for restoration. You are currently viewing a 40,000-mile, highly original, two-owner, perfectly rustfree and accident-free CA car. It is in need of a new enthusiastic owner to return it to it's former glory. This car is a perfect entry-level Jaguar E-type that can be secured for very sensible money in this escalating European classic car market. Because of the car's excellent overall condition and it's associated parts, I believe that labor rather than expense would be needed to restore this car to a very high standard. This car was driven a believed minimal amount of mileage when a valve keeper let go and put a stop to the car's use. The car lived in the San Francisco Bay area at that time. The highly original and untouched car sat in storage for many years and was then purchased by a restorer who set about to perform a Concours level restoration. The car was very carefully and meticulously partially disassembled, with almost all components and parts being bagged, tagged, and boxed. Because of personal reasons, the restoration was never finished. This car is 100% COMPLETE in every sense of the word. The car was only moved once during it's disassembled state, and all parts and components were contained in about 12 large boxes. I WAS STUNNED at the condition of all the parts in general. So well-preserved. The car's interior was in exceptional condition, even ready to just clean and re-use, with a replacement of just a few items like the headliner and carpets. Some interior and exterior chrome parts are in factory new condition, some other pieces would clean up very nicely. The wheels and tires could even clean up well. The 5th wheel is the factory original Dunlop spare. All the glass parts are excellent. Every original item on the car was saved and may even clean up perfectly nice to be used again. This is definitely a car that has lived indoors all of it's life... The body, doors, bonnet, are all still in the original light blue factory paintwork. Some minimal body work has been performed, but the car is not far from being repainted! There is a small area around the RH headlight area with some small repairable damage. The rest of the body is near-perfect. The car is completely rustfree. The mechanical components look very good. The original assembled low-mileage short block looks excellent with no marks on the pistons and hardly a step on the cylinder bores. The IRS unit is totally complete and together with excellent rear splined hubs. It may just need a service and a good detail. The cylinder head has been disassembled and ready for a valve job. The front suspension, brakes, radiator, carbs and intake, transmission, steering rack, A/C components, etc. all look very nice and low-mileage. The car would need an exhaust system. This car also includes a brand new, correct, Navy Blue Wilton Wool carpet kit and a new, quality, full rubber sealing kit that appears to be for the entire car. Most likely a $1000 value combined... This Jaguar presents a very economical opportunity to own one of Britain's most iconic sportscars that has spent it's entire life here in sunny California. Because of it's excellent overall condition for a restoration car, recommissioning of it's components and re-assembly should be an easy, straightforward process. This car can be viewed by appointment in Southern California and is sold with a clear CA title. $12,500. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. work, 909-920-9221. cell, 909-241-1051. |

Watch the trailer for Jaguar's short film staring the F-Type and Damian Lewis
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Jaguar continues to think well outside of the box when it comes to marketing it's new F-Type, now furthering plans for a short film which highlights the sexy roadster. Desire, featuring Damian Lewis (star of the hit series Homeland), Jordi Mollà (unforgettable in Bad Boys II) and Shannyn Sossamon (that girl you had a crush on for like a month in 2002 after you rented A Knight's Tale), Jaguar is clearly pulling out all the stops for this one. Well, nearly all the stops anyway - the "Ridley Scott Associates" billing isn't quite the same has having the man himself, if we're splitting hairs.
The short video below is still just a trailer for Desire - the full film will make its debut sometime in April, we're told. The sketched out plotlines tell us that Lewis' character Clark, "...delivers cars for a living, running into trouble after a chance encounter with a mysterious, young woman (Sossamon) in the middle of a lawless desert." The car looks good, at any rate.
Call us crazy, but the Desire trailer feels an awful lot like a spoof on the cool-but-overly-serious short films that BMW has done in this vein, already. Maybe we're just being cynical? Tell us what you think in comments after watching the clip.
2018 Jaguar F-Pace: Heated windshield option may drive you crazy
Fri, Sep 29 2017Our long-term Jaguar F-Pace is stuffed full of options. It's the top-trim S model with the most powerful engine, and we selected five of seven available option packages. The two we didn't pick were the cheapest ones. There were a handful of individual options we selected, as well, and one of them, the heated windshield, is one that you should definitely think twice about before choosing. The reason being that, in this editor's opinion, it's thoroughly irritating. I actually didn't even know our F-Pace had it the first time I signed it out for an evening. At the end of the day, I grabbed the key, walked down to the parking lot and drove it away without a second thought. A couple miles down Woodward Avenue, though, I noticed that my view out wasn't quite as clear as I expected. I figured the windshield was dusty or something, so on went the windshield washer for a few moments. After everything dried off, I had the same issue. I pulled the washer lever again and still nothing. I leaned forward and squinted my eyes, and that's when I spotted the minuscule heater wires across the entire pane of glass. And once I saw the wires, it was almost impossible to unsee them. My unobstructed view out the car suddenly turned into a CRT screen full of scan lines. They never kept me from safely driving the F-Pace (after all, they are extremely small), but I could never completely forget they were there. It's incredibly frustrating and it gets worse at night as the wires combine with oncoming headlights. I'm not the only one who dislikes them either, as Senior Editor John Snyder and Contributing Editor James Riswick voiced their displeasure with the feature. Not everyone in the office feels this way about the heated windshield, though. Associate Editor Reese Counts said that they don't bother him one bit. And in cold weather climates like Michigan, it should be handy for clearing snow, ice and condensation from the windshield. With these differing opinions, then, this is an option that you'll definitely want to experience for yourself before actually choosing it. You might find it unobtrusive or you might find it insufferable. As for me, I don't think I could deal with having those wires in my face all year 'round. I would rather spend 10 percent of the year when we have accumulating snow and ice scraping it off manually so that the other 90 percent of the year I have a crystal clear view of the road.
Jaguar Land Rover CEO: Wrong Brexit deal will cost thousands of UK jobs
Tue, Sep 11 2018BIRMINGHAM, England — The wrong Brexit deal could cost tens of thousands of jobs, the boss of Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover warned on Tuesday, saying he had no idea whether his plants would be able to operate after Britain leaves the European Union next year. Ralf Speth also said that the company would not be able to build cars if customs checks meant that the motorway to and from the southern English port of Dover, which is used to transport components, becomes a "car park" due to snarl-ups of people no longer able to move freely among EU countries. Speth made the warning at a conference in Birmingham, central England, speaking shortly before Prime Minister Theresa May, who is battling to have her so-called Chequers Brexit plan accepted by many in her Conservative Party as well as the EU ahead of Britain's departure from the bloc on March 29. "A thousand (jobs were) lost as a result of diesel policy, and those numbers will be counted in the tens of thousands if we do not get the right Brexit deal," warned Speth, referring to redundancies made earlier this year at the firm. "Currently I do not even know if any of our manufacturing facilities in the UK will be able to function on the 30th," he said. The boss of JLR, which built nearly a third of Britain's cars last year, also said long-standing issues around low productivity in Britain could be compounded by a Brexit agreement which made the country less competitive. "It is thousands of pounds cheaper to produce vehicles for instance in Eastern Europe than in Solihull, and what decisions will I be forced to make if Brexit means not merely that costs go up but that we cannot physically build cars on time and on budget in the UK?" he said.Reporting by Costas Pitas
