I will let the pictures speak for themselves as far as the looks & cosmetics are concerned. If you still have any questons, please ask before bidding.
This is not a restored vehicle as many do claim. It has had a little face lift & interior re-done. The car was painted in BRG a couple of years back &
the paint is almost perfect, except for a very small scratch on the right rear wheel well & the right head light cone (I have an appointment to get that
fixed before the end of this auction). The interior has been done in Nogahide for practicality & comfort, without sacrificing the look of leather. The only
blemish I see are on the spokes of the wheels. Some of them tend to show rust if not kept clean at all times. This car, like all others I own, has been very
well cared for & maintained by me with no expense spared. Reliability & safety are always my top priorities, as I do have a lead foot. I drive all my cars the
way sports cars should be driven.
The original A/C has been updated & blows cold (I have the old compressor etc. which will come with the car). The old Lucas electrical gremlins have been
sorted out so you can drive without the constant worry about an electrical failure. The mechanicals such as suspension, brakes & drive line have been gone
through & all the bushings etc. have been replaced. The engine & transmission were re-sealed some time back & holding up very well. There is very little
trace of an oil leak, considering it is a Jaguar!! Too much has been done over the years to list here, but there is a file folder with all the receipts that will
also come with the car. The car has 4 new tires & a new battery. Good care & regular workouts on the open roads has done wonders for this Old
Jag. With all this being said, it still is a 44 year old car & does not come with any warranty. Personally, I would drive it anywhere without any hesitation.
A note here: Even if you do not bid on this vehicle, you might add me to your favorite seller list as there will be other mostly European & British cars
( Intercepror / MGC / MGB / BMW / M/B / JAG etc. ) that I will be listing on Ebay as I am in the process of reducing my collection to a managable size.
Good Luck & Happy Bidding!!!

Jaguar Land Rover to cut $6.8 billion in costs
Tue, Nov 10 2015Jaguar Land Rover reduce costs by $6.8 billion and will push annual production volume to 1 million vehicles under a secret project called Leap 4.5, according to Reuters. The British automaker wants to achieve these ambitious goals by the end of the decade to compensate for the changing market in China and to counteract the price of meeting stricter emissions standards around the world. Leap 4.5 won't mean firing workers or cutting the automaker's $4.5 billion annual research budget. JLR will instead find savings by underpinning more models with modular platforms and by adjusting its supply chain. Future factories like the one in Brazil and the proposed plant in Slovakia also won't be affected by the new strategy. Globally, JLR continues to grow, and deliveries are up two percent through October 2015 to 390,965 vehicles. Business just last month was up 24 percent year-over-year to 41,553 units. However, the auto market's downturn in China has taken a bite out the automaker's success because volume dropped there 32 percent in the third quarter, Reuters reported. A global volume of 1 million vehicles will mean more than doubling 2014's 462,678 deliveries, but JLR has made significant investments to boost production recently. In addition to the future factories, it opened its first plant in China last year and an engine assembly site in the UK. The company also signed a deal with Magna Steyr in 2015 to build an upcoming model in Austria. Related Video:
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe spotted testing
Thu, 09 May 2013The automotive world has been hot on fire with the Jaguar F-Type of late. We're still recovering from the excitement of driving Jaguar's new sports car for the first time, and recently we had a predictive look at a coupe version. As it turns out, those 'patent sketches' were just a warm up for the real deal F-Type Coupe, as this brand new set of spy images proves out.
Word from our shooter is that security around the F coupe was and is really tight. The photographer had to hide in the cargo area of his clandestine SUV, just to catch these few, not-perfectly-clear images (that odd color your see is window tint). Still, the photos are good enough to see that the rakish silhouette of the hardtop is going to do justice to the convertible. In fact, the new top seems to flow quite perfectly into the car's rear haunches.
Expect that the F-Type Coupe will share an engine lineup with the roadster, meaning both a naturally aspirated and a supercharged V6, as well as a V8 option. Hot R and R-S versions of the Jaguar coupe are a virtual lock, too, though how far down the product pipeline they are is unclear.
