This car is in impeccable conditions and was acquired from the original owner by the 2nd owner in 2013.  The car was always stored in a heated storage garage in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The original owner put approximately 80,000 miles on the car before having a ground up restoration done to the car by two well known restoration shops.  The mechanicals were done by Jaguar Expert Walt Osborn of Vintage Jag Works presently in Blackfoot, Idaho and formerly of Salt Lake City.  The cinnamon tan interior is perfect, but what was done to it is unknown, however the leather seats are original but in perfect condition, body & paint work was done by Troy Lundquist of Troy Lundquist Restorations, Sandy, Utah who has done work for many prominent people in Utah including John Huntsman.

Per The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate included, it was originally Sable Brown and was changed to British Racing Green when it was restored. It was then driven approximately 4,000 miles before acquired by the 2nd owner who has driven it approximately 500 miles.

As the car hadn't been driven for approximately 6 months the 2nd owner had the following work done in 2013: Radiator re-cored, new hoses installed, water pump replaced, speedometer rebuilt by Nisonger Instruments of NY, Carbs needles and seats installed to stop gas leaks, new battery terminals and hold down frame was installed.  Original radio was repaired to accommodate an iPod with connector as parts were not able to be located for a full radio repair. The 4.2 Liter six cylinder engine was rebuilt and the pollution equipment removed and Triple SU side draft carburetors installed but it is unknown if they were on the car originally. It has a 4 speed synchromesh transmission that operates perfectly and was likely rebuilt during restoration.  Included with the car are, a California interior car cover, 2 new clamp on side mirrors, the original owner’s manual, the original jack and case in perfect condition, lead hammer & knock off ring.  

All numbers were confirmed as matching per the JDHT Certificate & by a Jaguar expert as confirmed by his pictures that are available.  The car drives perfectly even at high speeds.  The tires although appear to be almost new and probably only have less than 5,000 miles on them are 10+ years old which is approximately when the restorations were completed. The five tires are mounted on 5 new stainless and chrome wire wheels and the spare has never been on the ground. The car was appraised by Pinnacle Car Appraisers in 2013 for over $70,000. 

It Won a Jaguar class award in August 2014 (3rd Place) at the Classic Sports Card Show in Park City, UT against stiff competition of many classic Jaguars from the Wasatch Mountain Jaguar Register, the Utah Chapter of the JCNA.  1st Place went to an off frame restored 1957 XK 140 DHC and 2nd Place went to an XKE OTS.

2016 Jaguar F-Type ups warranty, adds standard equipment

Mon, Mar 23 2015

The 2016 Jaguar F-Type is getting all-wheel-drive and an optional six-speed manual gearbox. That, of course, has been the big news surrounding the British brand's stylish two-seat coupe and cabrio since it was announced back in November. For 2016, though, Jag has done a lot more than just update the F-Type's powertrain – it's made life easier for the car's future owners. Jaguar has generously upped the complimentary service period for the 2016 F-Type, going from covering the first service only, to handing out five years or 60,000 miles of free maintenance to owners of the 2016 F-Type. That is, frankly, stupendous. That new plan is paired with an extended warranty, which has been expanded from five years or 50,000 miles to match the new complimentary service period. Coventry has also significantly added to the list of standard equipment for 2016, offering a 770-watt Meridian stereo, SiriusXM satellite radio, a SmartKey, 14-way power seats and on the hardtop models, a glass roof. Again, that's all standard equipment now. S models now get the standard dynamic mode, flat-bottomed wheel and active exhaust system. R models, as we said back in November, get all-wheel drive as standard. Most remarkable about all of this, though, is how little the new standard equipment has impacted the F-Type's price. The manual-trans Coupe matches last year's $65,000 starting price, while adding an eight-speed automatic kicks the price up $1,300. The S Coupe is slightly pricier than last year's $77,000 mid-grade model, starting at $77,300 for the manual and $78,800 for the automatic. The all-wheel-drive S Coupe starts at $84,800. The R, which as we said, enjoys standard all-wheel-drive, is getting the biggest price bump, with the Coupe model going from $99,000 to $103,600. The all-new Jaguar F-Type R Convertible starts at $106,450. Beyond that, if you want an F-Type with a canvas roof, add $3,100 to the prices shown above. So there we have it – a longer warranty, five years of free maintenance more standard equipment and a negligible increase in price. Um, why can't all model year updates be so nice? Check out the press release for more on the updated F-Types from Jag. Related Video: JAGUAR HITS THE GAS PEDAL ON U.S. 2016 F-TYPE LINEUP TO RAISE PRESSURE ON THE COMPETITION ?

Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump

Fri, Apr 13 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

BMW and Jaguar Land Rover to jointly develop electric car tech

Wed, Jun 5 2019

FRANKFURT – BMW and Jaguar Land Rover on Wednesday said they will jointly develop electric motors, transmissions and power electronics, unveiling yet another industry alliance designed to lower the costs of developing electric cars. Both carmakers are under pressure to roll out zero-emission vehicles to meet stringent anti-pollution rules, but have struggled to maintain profit margins faced with the rising costs of making electric, connected and autonomous cars. "Together, we have the opportunity to cater more effectively for customer needs by shortening development time and bringing vehicles and state-of-the-art technologies more rapidly to market," said BMW board member Klaus Froehlich. BMW and Jaguar Land Rover said they will save costs through shared development, production planning and joint purchasing of electric car components. Both companies will produce electric drivetrains in their own manufacturing facilities, BMW said. The BMW Jaguar Land Rover pact comes as rivals FiatChrysler and Renault explore a $35 billion tie-up of the Italian-American and French carmaking groups. Nick Rogers, Jaguar Land Rover's engineering director said, "We've proven we can build world beating electric cars but now we need to scale the technology to support the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover products." BMW was in talks with rival Daimler about developing electric car components but was also in discussions with Jaguar Land Rover, a company it once owned, to explore an alliance on engines. BMW already has a deal to supply an 8 cylinder engine to Jaguar Land Rover. Carmakers are increasingly open to sharing electric car parts because the technology is expensive and because customers no longer buy a car based on what engine a vehicle has. "Carmakers are much less precious about sharing electric car technology because it is much harder to create product differentiation with electric car tech. They all accelerate fast, and everybody can do quality and ride and handling," according to Carl-Peter Forster a former chief executive of Tata Motors and a former BMW executive. Jaguar Land Rover is still run by former BMW managers, including Ralf Speth the company's chief executive who spent 20 years at BMW prior to joining JLR, and Wolfgang Ziebart, the engineer who oversaw Jaguar's I-Pace electric car program, who is a former head of research and development at BMW.
