1965 Jaguar S-type / Mark Ii Style Saloon on 2040-cars
Delhi, New York, United States
|
Offered for your bidding is a solid & eye catching vintage 1965 Jaguar S type saloon, which was lovingly restored & customized in 2008 by a Jaguar enthusiast rom whom I purchased this car. The elegant lines and detail of this automobile are enhanced by the classic color combination - the epitome of British automobile styling. Imagine yourself behind the wheel of this beauty on a sunny summer afternoon, or winding down a country lane on a colorful autumn morning ? When this car rolls down the street, expect heads to turn, and jaws to drop - its that good looking ! Please review all of my photos to appreciate the elegant detail of this very special automobile, and read my detailed descripton below: All the specifics about the mechanical aspects are information taken from the man who restored the car, and are related as such. This car was taken down to the bare metal and completely restored with several upscale customizations. The body is painted a classic British racing green (I have some extra paint for future touch-ups, if needed), with all original chrome trim. Wire wheels with chrome 'knock-off' hubs. Original chrome grille, leaper, and Jaguar grille medallion. The interior ceiling fabric, carpet, and vinyl door panels were all replaced in the restoration. Interior wood trim was also beautifully restored retaining original chrome details, and the restorer put in a nicely customized console around the stick shift. The car is equipped with buff color leather seats from a circa 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas. The front seats have electric power operation, and the rear seats have laquered burl wood fold-out cocktail tables, and center arm-rest. The dash retains all original switches and Smiths gages, set into a rich burl wood dashboard with a pull-out cocktail tray in the center. All gages work, except for speedometer (which is not connected). There are no seat belts (car pre-dates the regulation) but these can be added by the new owner, should they choose to. The engine was replaced with a powerful custom built engine comprised of the following: GM 350 8-cylinder block, new pistons with Corvette connecting rods, rings, and oil pump. Aluminum heads, approximately 10 to 1 compression, with high lift rockers on 3/8 studs, andHolley 650 cfm carburator. It features an Edelbrock intake, camshaft, and lifters with an upgraded 4 row core radiator with electirc temperature controlled cooling fan. Transmission is Tremec t-5 overdrive 5 speed, with cast iron bellhousing, heavy duty clutch, 11" pull type clutch slave cylinder. Rear gears 3.54 Professionally made and balanced driveshaft - with drive train bolted to original mounts with specially fabricated conversion mounts - so this car could easily be returned to a stock engine and transmission. Front brakes were upgraded to Volvo 240 4 pot calipers (per suggestion from jaglovers.com). The twin fuel pumps (remember, these cars have twin gas tanks - one on each side) are also new as of the 2008 restoration. The original odometer reads 69, 111 miles - based on the original Jag engine which was removed. As a car that was only occassionally driven in summer months since restoration, I can only estimate that the new engine has fewer than 5,000 miles on it. This vehicle just passed its annual New York State inspection the end of July. The ride in this car is smooth, due to the independent front & rear suspension which Jaguar pioneered and was famous for. The engine starts & runs extremely well, and it is a dependable car (thanks in part to the GM engine replacement, which accounts for reliablity and easy repairs). There is a very basic AM/FM stereo radio with casstte player in the dash. There is no A/C, and no power steering - however these can be added if you wish. There is ample room in the engine well and a space to mount the power steering pump, etc. if you wish to do this. As mentioned previously, the spedometer is not connected, nor is the parking brake (since its standard transmission, you leave it in gear when you park and its not going anywhere), nor are the fog lights mounted to the bumper - which for the moment are ornamental. The paint if in very good condition, glossy, with only a minor scratch or two. Chrome trim is all original and good condition, however the front & rear bumpers are quite spotted - but overall display well (they can easily be removed and re-chromed by the new owner, if you're particulary fastidious). The only body /cosmetic issue I should make you aware of is a small, approx 8 to10" area beginning to show deterioration on the underside rear side area (near back bumper) on drivers' side. Dealing with this now at your local body shop should be relatively inexpensive, and save it from advancing. I have described this car and provided photos to convey description to the best of my ability. This car is being sold "as-is" and as such, there are no warranties impiled or extended with this vehicle. Buyer is responsible for pre-bid inspection, and must make their own transport arrangements. I will assist in coordinating this as best I can. Buyer agrees to pay $1,000 deposit via PayPal at end of auction, with the balance due within 48 hours in the form of cash or certified funds,and will take possession and remove the vehicle within 7 days. Your bid is a binding contact, so please make sure you have read the description, terms, and agree to them before bidding as this is a final sale. |

Jaguar sculpture by RCA design students is a minimal beauty
Fri, 24 May 2013With its well-deserved reputation for high design, it is not particularly surprising to see Jaguar reaching outside of the automotive realm for future inspiration. To that end, the British automaker recently enlisted the talents of students at the Royal College of Art to create a piece of forward-looking, automotive-inspired sculpture.
The result of this project can be seen above; a sculpture created by RCA students Claire Miller and Ewan Gallimore, and unveiled to a small audience to kick off London's Clerkenwell Design Week. The spare and rather elegant form created by the talented pair absolutely harkens back to coupes from Jaguar's past as well as its present (read: F-Type) without aping any one model particularly.
In a press release, the artists had this to say about the work: "Our form relates to the Jaguar brand through its sculptural volumes, bespoke materials and visual lightness. These elements helped us to create a sculpture that aimed to display a seamless transition between interior and exterior space." Get a better look at the Jaguar artwork in the gallery above, or read through the press release, which follows.
Jaguar Land Rover hands Tata the biggest loss in Indian corporate history
Fri, Feb 8 2019BENGALURU/NEW DELHI — Jaguar Land Rover's owner Tata Motors Ltd stunned markets by posting the biggest-ever quarterly loss in Indian corporate history of about $4 billion on slumping China sales, sending its shares crashing as much as 30 percent. Tata Motors also warned that the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, which brings in most of its revenue, would swing to an operating loss for the year versus an earlier projection it would break even, given weak sales at the luxury British carmaker. JLR's China retail sales were cut almost in half in the December quarter as overall demand in the world's biggest auto market contracted last year for the first time since the 1990s. The firm has also been buffeted by Brexit woes and weaker business for diesel cars that account for bulk of its sales in Europe. Tata Motors turned in a third-quarter loss of 269.93 billion rupees ($3.8 billion) on Thursday, more than half its current market capitalization of $6.1 billion, mostly due to a massive impairment at JLR. Analysts were expecting a profit. "We are now taking clear and decisive actions in JLR to step up its competitiveness, reduce costs and improve cash flows and make the business fit for the future," Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji told reporters on a conference call on Thursday. JLR has taken steps to address the slide in China sales by changing its strategy to focus on profits for dealers instead of sales and incentivising retail sales over wholesale, he said. "We are encouraged by continued demand for the refreshed Range Rover and Range Rover Sport," JLR Chief Commercial Officer Felix Brautigam said in a statement. "With deliveries of the new Evoque due to start later this quarter, we look forward to building momentum." But analysts expect JLR to struggle to generate profit with China's economy projected to slow further this year after growth eased to its weakest pace in almost three decades in 2018. JLR's overall retail sales in January plunged 11 percent. The dour numbers prompted Tata investors to make a beeline for the exits as markets opened on Friday, with shares of the company skidding to their lowest in nine years at one point. The stock was down about 20 percent by 0720 GMT near 150 rupees, on track for its sharpest drop since 2003. At least four brokerages cut their price target for Tata Motors shares after its quarterly loss. Analysts at Jefferies pegged the stock at 250 rupees, versus an earlier target of 300 rupees, citing weak performance at JLR.
Jaguar Land Rover cutting production in face of falling demand
Sat, Feb 8 2020LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover will reduce or stop production on certain days at two of its British factories over the next few weeks as Britain's biggest carmaker pursues cost-cutting measures in response to falling demand. JLR posted a 2.3% drop in retail sales in the three months to the end of December and has targeted billions of pounds worth of savings to tackle falling diesel demand in Europe and a tough sales environment in China. The firm will halt production on selected days over a four-week period from late February at its Castle Bromwich factory in central England and stop production on some half or full days at its nearby Solihull facility until the end of March. "The external environment remains challenging for our industry and the company is taking decisive actions to achieve the necessary operational efficiencies to safeguard long-term success," the company said in a statement. "We have confirmed that Solihull and Castle Bromwich will make some minor changes to their production schedules to reflect fluctuating demand globally, whilst still meeting customer needs." The move is not connected to coronavirus, a spokeswoman said, which prompted Fiat Chrysler to warn on Thursday that a European plant could shut down within two to four weeks if Chinese parts suppliers cannot get back to work.
