Extremely rare manual gearbox in a Series 3 coupe is not only impossible to find but is an amazing car to drive
with a 12 cylinder engine. Almost all series 3 coupes are automatic transmissions! This maybe why we don't hear
how great the manual coupe is to drive; because you can't find any manual coupes ( particularly in good condition
). Driving this powerful V12 coupe with manual shift reminds me of a vintage Ferrari GT, or a great gran touring
car the past.
Coming out of a private collection, this car is "piece of history" well preserved in original
condition, never restored, never had rust issues but painted once for cosmetics, never wreaked or taken apart,
always garaged and maintained. The previous two owners left car show plaques dating back as far as 1984 , both
owners were enthusiast showing the car in shows. I think am 3rd owner ? For a brief period.
30,955 original miles, well maintained condition speaks for itself, engine is
excellent,'sycros'/trans./clutch shifts excellent;the car runs and drives as it should. Interior is excellent
original condition, leather is soft with nice color and just a little patina on driver's seat to give the leather
some tasteful character. Original radio,original carpeting, and head liner all excellent.
This car is honest with nothing hidden under the paint ,nor has it been detailed by professionals to
look better on the pictures. It has a great body and the undercarriage super clean almost like it came from the
factory. Because the car is an older repaint it is very honest but there is some paint checking under the rear
bumper on both sides and in a few other spots, but even so the paint was a great show quality paint job when done
years ago. Now the paint needs touched up in these spots, I didn't have it done for fear a buyer may think recent
paint work is to hide problems. I have included a can of the original touch up lacquer that will match perfectly (
lacquer blends easily ) I was quoted $300. by a painter to do the job, but I know will cost more. I almost forgot
the tires have 1600 miles on them,no dry rot. a/c will need serviced, but will be nothing to worry about..
"Cars are only original once....after people take them apart they,re just not the same."

Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.
Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
Jaguar F-Type Project 7 leaks in production trim ahead of Goodwood debut
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Just yesterday we brought you word that Jaguar was planning to bring something special to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year - the first product of its Special Operations division - and now we have it right here.
Previewed in concept form last year, Jaguar's big reveal appears to be the production version of the Project 7 show car - an extreme speedster version of the F-Type. Though we still don't have official details, these images leaked courtesy of 4WheelsNews show that the roadster seems to have lost little in the transition from concept to reality.
The bright blue paint job has been replaced by a more British shade of green, but the white trim - including the racing stripes running across (not up) the hood, the grille surround and the number circle on the door - appear to have carried over. As has the D-Type-inspired, fin-like, single raised cowling on the rear deck, though now positioned behind the left-hand driver's seat instead of the right. The wheels are fresh and the front lip spoiler looks even bigger, and the rear wing appears to have been reshaped.
