 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 Land Rover won't get a bailout from the UK

Sun, Aug 16 2020

Bailout talks between Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Steel with the UK government have ended, leaving both firms to rely on private financing to overcome the impact of coronavirus on business, the Financial Times reported on Friday. The report said that talks for an emergency funding fell through as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) did not qualify for taxpayer support. It is the luxury car unit of India's Tata Motors and Tata Steel, both owned by Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The bailout plan, titled "Project Birch", had been authorized by Finance Minister Rishi Sunak in May to rescue companies that are seen as strategically important, with the Treasury saying it may step in to support crucial businesses on a "last resort" basis after other options run out. The report, citing a source familiar with the matter, said that the funding scheme became infeasible for Tata as it imposed strict conditions on any lending. "Tata Steel remains in ongoing and constructive talks with the UK Government on areas of potential support," Tata Steel said in an emailed statement. The UK Treasury said it would not comment on individual companies. Tata Motors did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Jaguar sends off the F-Type with commemorative 75 model

Tue, Oct 11 2022

Jaguar is preparing to send the F-Type to the pantheon of automotive history. It unveiled a commemorative model named F-Type 75 that announces the end of a roughly decade-long production run with a small handful of specific design accents inside and out. Offered as a coupe and as a convertible, the 75 stands out from other members of the range with subtle emblems depicting the F-Type's silhouette positioned behind the front wheel arches. The F-Type 75 ships with 20-inch five-spoke wheels finished in gloss black, while the more powerful F-Type R 75 wears 20-inch, 10-spoke wheels with a gloss black and diamond-turned finish.  Inside, the F-Type's silhouette appears on the piece of trim positioned above the infotainment system's display and on the door sills. Every 75 regardless of body style or output comes with the Interior Black Pack and what Jaguar calls "Performance-design" front seats. While a 75-horsepower bump would have been fitting, Jaguar made no mention of mechanical changes. The four- and six-cylinder engines were dropped for the 2022 model year, so the F-Type will end its career with a V8-only range. Power for the base model comes from a 5.0-liter V8 that's supercharged to 444 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, while the R benefits from an evolution of this engine rated at 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The base F-Type is rear- or all-wheel-drive, while the R is rear-wheel-drive-only. Jaguar will begin delivering the F-Type 75 to customers in England in early 2023 — about 75 years after the XK120 made its debut, hence the name. Pricing and availability haven't been announced yet, and Jaguar confirmed to Autoblog that details about the F-Type 75 that will be sold in the United States will be published in December 2022. The company added that 2024 will be the F-Type's last model year. As for what's next, your guess is as good as ours, but it doesn't sound like a direct successor to the F-Type is around the corner.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
