Year:1970
Mileage:0
Location:
Avon, Connecticut, United States
|
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** |

40th Jaguar E-Type ever made sells at auction for lb88k
Wed, 30 Oct 2013The 40th Jaguar E-Type ever built, a right-hand-drive 1961 model, hit the auction block and was bought by an anonymous British buyer for 88,000 pounds ($141,310), ITV reports. The Jaguar had been stored at the previous owner's estate, in dry storage, at a derelict farm in Le Mans, France since July 1974.
E-Type chassis No. 860040 was bought by the previous owner in 1969 and was originally gray. But it was driven home to France and painted it in its current aubergine in 1974, before it was put into storage. During that time it was considered missing by experts, but there it sat under a dust sheet car cover for most of its life, so the body is in good condition. The family mechanic said that the car was last started about five years ago, and the engine recently was turned over. Coys auction house describes the original interior, which is also preserved well, as a "time warp."
Chris Routledge of Coys before the auction said, "They're sort of a mythical beast for enthusiast, at the time they were all handmade on special order, so Jaguar collectors look at the first 100 cars in a different way," BBC News reports. He added, "We estimate it to be worth between 20,000 and 40,000 pounds (about $32,100 to $64,200) but our feedback from collectors and interest worldwide suggests it could sell for between 80,000 and 100,000 pounds (about $128,500 to $160,600)." Of course, his revised estimate was right on target.
Jaguar pushes F-Pace toward Frankfurt debut [w/video]
Thu, Jul 30 2015Automakers regularly subject new vehicles they're developing to extreme climactic conditions to make sure they'll hold up no matter what the customer throws at it. We rarely get to see what those conditions entail, save for the odd batch of spy shots here and there. Jaguar, however, has given us a glimpse behind the proverbial curtain as it puts the finishing touches on the upcoming new F-Pace crossover. The British automaker reports that it's put the F-Pace through its paces in temperatures ranging from as low as 40 degrees below zero (on either scale – that's where they meet) to 50 degrees Celsius above (122 Fahrenheit). Those are some punishing conditions, achieved in the dead of winter in Northern Sweden and at the height of summer in the searing deserts of Dubai, where cabin temperatures inside a vehicle left in the sun can top 158 degrees Fahrenheit. The former is where Jaguar Land Rover maintains a dedicated arctic test facility in Arjeplog, with over 37 miles of test tracks carved out of the ice, snow, and mountains. Jaguar even threw gravel mountain passes into the test regime for the first time, because while it may be geared more toward on-road use than its Land Rover counterparts, people still expect their crossover to be sure-footed in a variety of conditions. Jaguar has now confirmed that the production F-Pace will make its bit debut in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show. That's the same venue where the C-X17 concept that previewed the F-Pace's arrival was first showcased the last time the show came to town two years ago. And while the company recently signed a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr to build an undisclosed model line in Austria, JLR confirms that the F-Pace will be built in the UK at the Solihull plant that already handles production of the Land Rover Discovery/LR4, Defender, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Jaguar XE.

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
