1971 JAGUAR E TYPE 2+2 ORIGINAL SURVIVOR There only original once! This Jaguar E Type has mostly been in storage for the past few decades. The car runs and drives and amazingly still has ice cold blowing air conditioning. The car still sports and original factory paint and it shows pretty well. I think a polish and wax job and you’re done. Personally, I would NOT repaint this car. How many survive with original paint? This car is also a matching numbers car. The motor matches and body. The V12 starts right up and runs smooth and sounds distinctive. The past owner a few years ago put new tires on the car and an aluminum five core radiator with electric fans to keep the car running cool. He said the carbs were balanced too. The car will come with the original radiator. This car not only sports original paint, but there is no rust through found anywhere. The original sheet metal is fabulous. The car was originally a California car, then New Mexico and only recently, Texas. The body is extremely nice. There was a small bump in the nose atop the grill and some minor body work was done at some point to fix it. The drivers side bonnet has two small dents up front. The Jag is leaking what I believe is power steering fluid. I also believe the valve covers are seeping oil onto the manifolds. At engine shut down, there is sometimes oil burn off coming from the bonnet louvers for a few minutes. The transmission is an automatic and seems to shift as it should. The car shows 58,xxx miles. The speedometer cable seems bad and I don’t know how long its been off line. By the looks of the brake pedal pad, I would guess the car has less the 100k on it. Some of the gauges work, some seem not actuate. The wipers work, and original radio works and sounds pretty good. The horn works and turn signals. The brakes are good and the emergency brake grabs tight. Inside the front leather bucket seats are dry and cracked up. I would re-upholster them. The dash has no cracks forward but one towards the glass. The car comes with some extra parts and four never used carburetor kits. It will also come with several books and manuals etc. One is a large original hard cover book from the 70’s. Likely worth a lot alone. Please call or write before bidding if you have any questions. Houston Wills at 210-548-1310 between 9am-7pm CST. The car is located in San Antonio Texas and comes with a clear New Mexico title. PAYMENT AND STORAGE

An E-Type in the garden: rotting '63 Jaguar heads for auction
Wed, Mar 2 2016There's something about formerly gorgeous cars in dilapidated states from which the eye cannot turn away. The devastatingly cruel fate of this Jaguar E-Type is an illustration. Next week, it likely begins a new life. Still voluptuous after decades rotting in a garden, this 1963 Series 1 fixed head coupe will be offered for sale at the Coys auction Tuesday in London. The car has 44,870 miles on the odometer and has passed through several owners, including one with a tangential connection to the Beatles and another man who used the Jag to pull his MG to Brands Hatch. He would race them both, according to Coys' listing, wringing the most out of the E-Type's 265-horsepower inline six. Ivor Arbiter was owner No. 1. His link to history is that he designed the Beatles drop-T logo in the early '60s and was reportedly paid five British pounds for it. He bought the E-Type new in 1963, used it, and then sold it to in 1965. The E-Type passed through a couple of owners until motorsports enthusiast Frank Riches bought it in '67. He tracked the Jag at some of Britain's iconic circuits and drove it until he fried the clutch. Coys cites a story from Riches' brother recounting when the E-Type hit 150 miles per hour on a public road, its listed top speed. It was in storage until the 1980s, and then Riches relocated it to his garden, where it has sat for years. Considering its long dormancy, the Jag appears to be in reasonable shape. It's never been restored, obviously, and Riches still has many of the original parts he replaced, including the center console and radiator bar. Coys notes that the seats have a "lovely patina" and are worth saving, too. The buyer also gets a brown logbook, the sales invoice to Riches, two service books (it is a '63 Jag) and a spare parts catalogue. A Coys auctioneer told ITV.com that the car could net about $140,000. Related Video: Jaguar Auctions Coupe Luxury Performance jaguar e-type

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee season 2 opens with Sarah Silverman and Jag E-Type
Sat, 15 Jun 2013Season Two of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee kicked this week in style. How much more style is there to be had than in a 1969 Jaguar XKE, after all? This time around, Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman spend some time driving around in the "slinky, sexy" Jag, talking comedy and then grabbing breakfast.
In addition to the kickoff of the show's second season, this episode also represents the start of a 24-episode sponsorship with Acura. The original deal promised short ads at the beginning and end of each episode, but this time around, Seinfeld "stumbles upon" a 2014 Acura RLX, which is obviously - and admittedly - the work of product integration. Scroll down to watch Seinfeld and Silverman exchange banter with the Jag's beauty as a happy backdrop.
