 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.

**Seller has the right to end Auction early as vehicle is being promoted elsewhere**

Mercedes-Benz EQC vs. Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model X: How they compare on paper

Tue, Sep 4 2018

The Mercedes-Benz EQ line is officially alive and kicking, with the reveal of the EQC electric crossover. It joins a segment that, while still in its infancy, seems ready to take off. Mercedes lists as the EQC's competitors the Jaguar I-Pace, The Audi E-Tron Quattro and the BMW iX3. While we've seen all of these, at least in concept or pre-production form, only one — the Jag — has actually been launched in production form. We've seen a concept and subsequent spy shots of the iX3, and the Audi EV will get its official specs publicized later this month. One electric SUV Mercedes didn't specifically call out was the Tesla Model X. As such, we've decided to compare on paper the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400, the Jaguar I-Pace S and the Tesla Model X 75D: All three are dual-motor EVs, though the Tesla is the longest and tallest. The EQC has the most power, but it and the Model X's 4.9-second 0-60 times fall short of the I-Pace. It also has the lowest top speed and electric driving range. (Mercedes sent us an updated range figure, but it's using the generous and largely outdated NEDC cycle; we're still waiting on an EPA rating.) We'll be interested to see how much the Mercedes weighs. Mercedes hasn't divulged the price of the EQC yet, but we imagine it'll fall pretty near to the $70,000 mark. As for Audi, we'll revisit this comparison after those details are made available on September 17. If you're interested in some other EV comparisons, we have a couple others that we published to compare the I-Pace to premium Teslas, as well as against other less-expensive EVs. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools.

Jaguar details XE for North America

Tue, Apr 28 2015

Jaguar is bringing the XE to North America next spring, and in advance of its arrival, the British automaker is giving us more details on its new compact sports sedan. The top engine choice is dubbed the XE 35t, which is a little misleading since its tried-and-tested 3.0-liter V6 is actually supercharged, not turbocharged. Regardless of the manner of forced induction, its 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque are claimed to propel the XE to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. Buyers looking for something more frugal at the pump may be more interested in the other engine option. The XE 20d adopts Jaguar's new Ingenium diesel, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four good for 180 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque. That's quoted for a 0-60 time of 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph. Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive will also be available on both versions, but come by default in rear-drive form. Buyers will also have the choice among three trim levels, staring with Premium, moving up to Prestige and on to R-Sport with satin chrome and gloss black trim, a rear spoiler and 20-inch alloys. Pricing is set to be announced closer to launch, but for now you can scope out the details in the press release below, and watch this space for our upcoming drive report to follow our earlier report.

Strong JLR sales in China boost Tata Motors' quarterly profit

Fri, Jan 29 2021

BENGALURU, India — Tata Motors Ltd on Friday posted a 67.2% surge in quarterly profit. Sales at its luxury car unit, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), improved in key market China as the country led a recovery in the global automobile industry from the pandemic. The Indian carmaker had logged losses for three straight quarters as the COVID-19 pandemic dented business in several of its key markets even as it was already dealing with uncertainties around Brexit, weak demand and rising costs. The Brexit trade deal agreed upon in December has avoided the risk of tariffs on automotive parts and finished vehicles, Tata Motors said, adding that JLR remains encouraged by the Brexit trade deal. JLR sales in China jumped 20.2% on-quarter and were 19.1% higher from the year-ago period. Retail sales at the unit, which accounts for most of the company's revenue, were up 13.1% from a quarter ago, but still 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels. The company said it had saved 400 million pounds ($548.96 million) during the December quarter at JLR under Project Charge, taking the total savings to 2.2 billion pounds so far. Tata Motors has set a full-year target of saving 2.5 billion pounds. Consolidated net profit came in at 29.06 billion rupees ($398.52 million) for the third quarter, compared with a profit of 17.38 billion rupees a year earlier. It had reported a loss of 3.14 billion rupees in the previous quarter. The festive season in mid-November, during which Indians typically make big-ticket purchases, also helped overall sales. "Due to a strong festive season and a clear preference for personal mobility, the PV business posted its highest sales in last 33 quarters," Tata Motors Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Guenter Butschek said. Total revenue from operations rose 5.5% to 756.54 billion rupees.
