Offered for sale is a spectacular Series II E-Type Roadster - one of the finest examples available. "The Blending of Art & Machine". Full documentation includes; original title, original VIN plate & British Heritage Motor Trust  Production Record Trace Certificate and as far as I can tell everything appears to be numbers matching.

By the time Jaguar got to the Series II they had sorted out the E-Type a bit more.  More comfortable  seating, better electrics, better cooling, and the 4.2 liter engine.  Also, the Series II is more masculine & aggressive looking than the earlier cars

This car underwent a 9 year full ground up, rotisserie, nut & bolt restoration.  Every part of the vehicle was disassembled, cleaned, sand blasted/glass beaded, painted, and all parts were restored, rebuilt or replaced.

Every part on this car received excruciating attention to detail.  For example: the regulator flap inside the heater box was rusted and had a hole in it.  I disassembled the heater box, had the heater core re-cored, welded up the hole in the heater flap, ground down the welds, applied epoxy primer, block sanded the flap & painted it to a mirror finish with Glasuit urethane enamel paint.  All for a part no one can see!

My plan when restoring this car was to make everything as true to original as possible, but to utilize the better quality materials that are available today.  I used as many NOS parts as possible unless there was a better option available.

The restoration features:
  • Glasuit two-part urethane enamel primers, base coats & clear coats
  • Supercool Oversize Radiator Core
  • Stainless Steel Exhaust
  • Stainless Steel Brake Lines
  • Stainless & Grade 8 hardware
  • Petronics Electronic Ignition & Coil
  • Gear Reduction Starter
  • Series III Cooling Fan Relay & Wiring
  • CoolMat High Tech Heat Protection/Sound Deadening Material
  • 5 Dayton 72 Spoke Chrome & Stainless Wire Wheels
  • 5 Avon 205 70R 95V Radial Tires
  • Adjustable Torsion Bar Reaction Plate
  • Racing Bearings & Bushings

This award wining E-Type has received to date:

  • Best of Show Rolex Vintage Festival @ Lime Rock Park scoring 999 points out of 1000 by professional judges
  • Best of Show Jaguar Club of CT 3 years in a row
  • Best English Sports Car Greenwich Concours de Elegance
  • Best of Class 3 years in a row Lime Rock Vintage Festival
  • Best in Class 3 years in a row  Jaguar Club of CT
  • Misc. Best in Class Awards
  • National 3rd Place Award North American MG Register

  • Original Title
  • Original VIN ID Plate
  • British Heritage Motor Trust  Production Record Trace Certificate
  • Rolex Best of Show Score Sheet
  • Receipts for over $75K in Parts
  • Two Workshop Manuals
  • Two Illustrated Parts Catalogs
  • E-Type Wiring Manual
  • Misc. Restoration Guides
  • Misc. Engine Manuals
  • Misc. Jaguar E-Type History Books

The final result is a Jaguar Series II E-Type that is much better than the sum of its parts.  

Jaguar E-Type pricing is through the roof and is continuing to grow.

Recently one sold for a record breaking $467,500.00 & another Series I 3.8 previously sold for $375,173.00

As I this is one of the finest examples of a Series II E-Type, I am accepting offers starting at $200,000.00

Jaguar Land Rover recalls Takata airbag-equipped cars

Fri, Aug 5 2016

In the latest chapter of what feels like the never-ending recall, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it's calling back 2009-2011 Jaguar XFs and 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rovers for defective Takata airbags on the front passenger side. These Takata airbags have propellant that may have degraded and, if activated, could release metal shrapnel. The company is breaking up the recall into four phases, since currently there are not enough parts to do a full recall. Since the airbags can be more seriously affected by high heat and humidity, the first phase will cover vehicles that were sold and/or registered in regions with high temperatures and humidity. The regions included are as follows: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Other phases will begin as parts become available, and priority will be given to regions at greater risk of having defective equipment. Jaguar Land Rover encourages owners of affected vehicles to go to www.SaferCar.gov to check if their vehicle is included in the current recall. The first phase includes 54,000 of 108,000 affected vehicles. The company is also notifying owners of the issue, who will eventually get a second notification when parts are available so they can schedule a time to have the airbags replaced. Related Video:

Jaguar teaches Mena Suvari and Sebastian Stan how to drive the F-Type

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Automakers conduct driver training programs on racing circuits around the world for a variety of participants: journalists, customers, even celebrities. And at a recent session of the Jaguar Performance Driving Academy at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, the Leaping Cat marque had a couple of the Hollywood types in the paddock.
In addition to the various (evidently well-heeled) members of the public, learning how to pilot the new F-Type Coupe R on the track this time around were actors Sebastian Stan and Mena Suvari. You might recognize Stan from his roll as Bucky Barnes in the Captain America movies and Suvari from such red, white and blue favorites as American Beauty and the American Pie franchise, but both got a first-hand taste of one of Britain's finest courtesy of Jaguar.
So how did it go? Well, as one of the less-famous participants put it, it was #awesomesauce." We couldn't possibly reproduce in words her enthusiasm in person and on camera, so you'll just have to watch the video below to see for yourself.

Stunning Jaguar collection with O.G. E-Type is a museum exhibit all on its own

Mon, Mar 4 2019

At what point does a personal automotive collection become a museum exhibit that's just not in a museum? Dr. Christian Jenny blurs the line between the two with his unreal lot of classic Jaguars that includes not only the first E-Type ever seen in public, but also the "Lost C-Type" and what is considered to be Jaguar's first sports car, the 1935 S.S. 90 Prototype. Switzerland-based collector Jenny is selling 12 cars individually through classic car broker Pendine Historic Cars Limited. The collection includes some of the most important Jaguars ever built, nearly all of which have open-air tops. It's so special, in fact, that Pendine has created an entirely separate tab on its website dedicated to the set. The 12-pack includes the 1935 S.S. 90 Prototype, a 1952 C-Type, the E-Type Series I fixed-head coupe (aka "The Geneva Launch Car"), a 1935 S.S. 90 "Captain Black," a 1937 S.S. 100 2.5 liter, a 1938 S.S. 100 3.5 liter, a 1949 alloy XK120 Roadster, a 1950 XK120 Roadster, a 1955 XK140 SE Roadster, a 1960 XK150 3.8 S Roadster, an E-Type Series I Roadster, and a 1972 E-Type Series III V12 Roadster. All of the cars have been beautifully photographed and recorded by Michel Zumbrunn, author of British Auto Legends: Classics of Style and Design. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Though every one of these cars holds heavy significance, the 90 Prototype, the C-Type, and the Geneva E-Type stand to be some of the most noteworthy in British history. The S.S. 90 Prototype is considered Jaguar's first sports car before the company was even called Jaguar. It has a sidevalve 2.6-liter straight-six engine that makes an estimated 90 bhp and has won numerous Pebble Beach Concours awards. For years, this C-Type was floating in the ether and earned the nickname "The Lost C-Type" when it was the only car of the 53 C-Types that was not located. It was raced for numerous years and has since been restored. Any E-Type is highly valuable, as it's largely considered one of the most beautiful cars ever built, but this specific car has extra history. The coupe shape was reportedly hand-built from an open-top model and became the first E-Type ever seen in public. The experimental prototype, chassis No. 885005, was on display at the 1961 Geneva show. Read more detailed accounts for each car and ogle the gorgeous photography, of which each car has plenty, at Pendine. As of now, only the 90 Prototype has an offer.
