 This 1970 Series II e-type  FHC is currently registered in Connecticut and is driven only on clear days and to shows, slaloms and Jaguar events.

This car has been massaged by the owner with careful attention to the obvious Value that these cars are already attaining and no doubt will continue to climb at a very fast pace in the very near future.

  The original 4.2 litre motor was removed from the car, it had an exhaust valve failure so it needs some head work and a piston, but it comes with the car as it should.  What is in the car now is the best possible scenario.  (1987 sIII sedan block and large valve head) This car has been carefully built according to a plan up to the point of the paint and the bodywork.  Below is the list of the modifications, but remember, all modifications were made with the careful thought of being able to put the car back to stock without a lot of trouble.

 

-The motor is a 1987 Jaguar Series III sedan 4.2 litre original bore, it only had 40k miles on it and it was checked, cleaned assembled with

the large valve injected cylinder head and it retains the large engine oil cooler and spin on oil filter to keep it cool and to retain oil temp.

-The motor is fitted with 4.2 e-type  triple Su carburetors and original 1967 style intake and they are jetted for the current setup

-The car has a Holley Fuel pump and runs an Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator and  starts immediately, never any fuel issues.

-The ignition is a Mallory Distributor with new 7MM wires .

-The motor has a Large Bore exhaust Header and free flow mufflers, it is not excessively loud.  Just right

-The transmission is the original 4 speed and bell housing, it does grind into second gear at times, Just to make to sure to mention.

-The Clutch is a Clutchmasters disc Heavy duty and The Flywheel is a Terrys Aluminum lightweight Unit.

-The radiator is a large core, full flow Griffin aluminum radiator with a Hi volume electric fan.  The car Always runs cool.  never an issue.

-The car has a lightweight 80A  aluminum  cased modern alternator and regulator, and it has a new 800amp battery

-The car has a rebuilt Water pump and all new hoses, all new clamps and all new fittings, fluids are recent and checked.

-The differential is a 3:31 E-type unit , it is limited slip it is not rebuilt and we cannot totally guarantee this ratio  and it

  leaks at the pinion seal. The rear rotors have been replaced once already, they are not the original sandwich design

  and they are fine, look almost new.  They were not redone with this build.     

-The rear suspension is stock but for uprated mountings and Koni shocks- the rear wheel houses are all rebuilt, new bearings and detailed.

-The front suspension is stock but for the upgrade of larger Series III spindles, hubs and larger stock Jaguar Calipers.

  the brake hoses are new stock rubber lines and the car has all Ate super blue fluid in the brake and clutch systems.

  All brake pads are premium Hi temp pads and are less than a year old less than 2000 miles.

-The car comes with any extra parts that are available, the rear bumper, which is off now is included, front bumpers are available from

  many sources.

-There is no radio in the car, interior is very usable, original headliner is in the car at this time.  It has stock seats, with good tracks and hardware.

-The tires are almost new Dunlop Direzzas, Stagger size (see pictures) and the wheels are 16x8 steel road wheels. they can accept any center cap,

  either Chevrolet or jaguar or just plain.

 

-This E-type can be enjoyed the way it is? or put back to stock.  Look at the pictures carefully, it needs a lot of body work, the floors are sound but have been repaired with metal and may want to be made with new pans someday as the car keeps rising in value.  Depending on your game plan, the floors are fine to leave as they are as well as the body work.   If series II cars continue to rise as they have been following the Series I e-types, The original motor may be the way to go.  And the already set up Series III motor has plenty of value which would be an additional value.

-This car is dependable and very quick,  its stance turns heads and it drives solid and flat, not soft like a stock car.

-

There is a lot of work done to this car, There is over 40k dollars invested in the build out of this Jaguar.  Heater box is already detailed, It is mechanically sound, the suspension is sorted out...Look at it closely and don’t let it slip by.  Look at the pictures!  As for the pictures, Everyone knows what a Jaguar E-type looks like, These are not Glamor shots, we are trying to show the condition and value of this car in order to explain what is being offered here.  this car turns heads...

 Vehicle being sold AS-IS. No written or implied warranty.

Jaguar XE SV Project 8 is a 592-horsepower monster

Wed, Jun 28 2017

Move over, F-Type, Jaguar has a new performance flagship. The Special Vehicle Operations division of Jaguar Land Rover applied its expertise to the XE sports sedan to create an absolute monster of a car. Named the XE SV Project 8, it features a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 pumping out 592 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That power goes through an eight-speed automatic and an all-wheel-drive system with an electronically controlled torque-vectoring rear differential. In practice, this will rocket the super sedan to 60 mph in a claimed 3.3 seconds on the way to a 200 mph top speed. The XE SV Project 8 is not only about raw power and speed, though. Lightweight carbon fiber bumpers, front fenders, and hood have been fitted. The fenders are significantly wider, too, which cover 265-mm wide tires up front, and Hellcat Widebody-rivaling 305-mm wide tires in the back. The added grip is supplemented by stiffer springs and retuned anti-roll bars and shocks. The front splitter and rear wing are adjustable, as is the ride height. Carbon ceramic brakes are also included with six-piston front calipers and single-piston rear calipers. All of these pieces should come together to make the XE SV Project 8 just as impressive in the corners as in a straight line. View 12 Photos The interior has undergone an overhaul, too. The standard model has seating for four, featuring front buckets with magnesium frames, and more sculpted rear seats. Carbon fiber and Alcantara can be everywhere throughout the cabin. All of the typical Jaguar comforts are still present, as well, including 4G Wi-Fi, climate control, LCD displays, and a 380-watt sound system. The dial shifter in the regular XE also gives way to an F-Type-style lever allowing for manual shifting via the lever instead of paddles if you so choose. There is an additional interior configuration for the XE SV Project 8 that won't be available in the US and Canada. Called the Track Pack, it completely removes the rear seats, and the front buckets are replaced with carbon fiber units. In place of the rear seats is a roll cage with harness points for fitting the included four-point harnesses. The pack also adds a fire extinguisher system along with a black roof and stripes. The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 will make its full public debut this week at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Only 300 of the cars will be built, and all of them will be assembled at the Jaguar SVO facility.

Jaguar Land Rover partners with Nvidia for vehicle electronics and software

Wed, Feb 16 2022

DETROIT — Luxury automaker Jaguar Land Rover and Silicon Valley artificial intelligence company Nvidia said Wednesday they will collaborate to develop the computer brains and nervous systems for Jaguars and Land Rovers launching in 2025 and beyond. The companies did not disclose financial terms of their multiyear agreement. The collaboration is a high-profile win for Nvidia Corp's effort to expand its reach in the auto industry, building on its base in gaming, artificial intelligence and high-powered chips and software used in servers. For Jaguar Land Rover Automotive, the partnership with Nvidia gives it a well-funded ally as it tries to catch up with Tesla and other luxury vehicle rivals in a digital technology arms race. "We can now accelerate our in-vehicle software," Francois Dossa, JLR's executive director for strategy, said during a conference call. Working with Nvidia engineers, Jaguar Land Rover plans to develop vehicles that can drive themselves under certain conditions, park autonomously and provide more information and software-powered features to drivers, the companies said. The new Jaguars will be upgradable — as Tesla vehicles are today. The automaker said it will use Nvidia technology to power simulations used to train autonomous vehicles. Jaguar Land Rover has a previous deal with Alphabet Inc's Waymo unit to deploy autonomous driving technology. Dossa said the Waymo collaboration was limited to the Jaguar I-PACE electric SUV. The Nvidia alliance covers all Jaguar and Land Rover models to be launched from 2025. Nvidia technology will act as the brains and the nervous system of Jaguar Land Rover vehicles starting in 2025, said Nvidia's vice president of automotive, Danny Shapiro. Nvidia last month announced deals with several Chinese electric vehicle brands. The company has said it has $8 billion in automotive business booked over the next six years. Shapiro said the company will update the figure during an investor day scheduled for March 22. Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of India's Tata Motors Ltd has been struggling with rising costs and semiconductor shortages. Jaguar Land Rover reported a narrow pretax profit for the quarter ended Dec. 31, but Tata Motors reported a larger quarterly loss than expected.

Jaguar C-X75 production run canceled

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

"We feel we could make the car work, but looking at the global austerity measures in place now, it seems the wrong time to launch an 800,000-pound to 1 million-pound supercar."
Those words are from Jaguar Global Brand Director Adrian Hallmark, and as true as they may be, it still stings a little bit. After all, we've been looking forward to the Jaguar C-X75 ever since word came from Jolly Olde that it was green-lit for a short production run.
Some of the cool bits and pieces the world will now be without: a powerful but relatively miserly 1.6-liter turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine, two electric motors driving all four wheels and a carbon fiber chassis developed by Williams F1. Sigh.
