Have you ever wanted to own a car that people just couldn't help but stare at? Never mind other people, have you ever owned a car that when you parked it and walked away you felt compelled to turn around and look at it just one more time... and then again? This is that car!

This is a two owner, numbers matching, '71 E Type Series 2 Convertible with only 24000 miles. It is the ultimate eye catching color combo of red with black, and comes with the ultra rare and valuable factory hard top.

I own a classic car repair shop and drive a lot of beautiful old cars but none turns heads like this car!

My shop has serviced this car for about 8 years. Our customer who has owned this car since the early '80s is leaving the country and sadly cannot take it with him. The most recent work performed was the removal of the engine and trans to replace the clutch. While the engine was out all external seals on the engine were replaced. The engine was cleaned and painted, and anything that needed to be addressed, was.

Here is a list of some of the work done in the last few years, all within very low mileage:

-Seats were completely redone - frames blasted and painted, new foams, lumbar strappings and leather covers

-All new fluids, belts, plugs, hoses, brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder,

- Body gaskets were replaced (except windshield and bonnet cowl - did not need it)

- 5 new Coker redlines, 1 brand new Dayton Wire in trunk for spare ( the four wheels on car are the original Dunlops)

- Every chrome screw, nut, bolt, latch, hook, trim piece, bezel etc has been removed, cleaned and polished

- All the instruments have been disassembled and cleaned so they're crystal clear

- Rebuilt front calipers, new brake hoses

- And much, much more!

We have thoroughly gone through this car to ensure everything is working properly so its new owner can enjoy the best of what an E Type can offer. In our opinion, the Series 2s are the best driving 6 cylinder E Types incorporating all the modifications to increase reliabilty and durability. They have much bigger brakes, bigger radiator, better fans etc.

The owner told us the car was being transported back in the '80s in a covered trailer when it came loose and shifted causing some minor damage resulting in the single repaint. As near as we can tell, the car retains all of its original panels. There are no signs of crash damage or "bondo". There are, however, some scrapes and dents under the front of the bonnet and the rear tail section most of which resulting from the owner's very steep driveway. These are obvious with the car up on the lift but as you can see in the pictures they are not at all obvious on the ground.

The paint is in good shape for a 30+ year old paint job but in some areas there's some minute bubbles in the paint. Most people wouldn't notice these until they're pointed out. Again, they're so taken by its beauty.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to set up an appointment to view the car.

Jaguar bringing all-wheel-drive F-Type to LA Auto Show [w/video]

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Jaguar's big splash at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show was showing off the slinky F-Type Coupe; perhaps one of the loveliest car shapes on the road today. This year the company won't have a show-stopping new design to offer, but the news that all-wheel drive is coming to the F-Type range is, nevertheless, pretty spectacular.
Mixed in with news about a technical partnership between Jaguar and the Bloodhound SSC World Land Speed Record program, the British brand announced this morning that it will show the first AWD F-Type Coupe at the 2014 LA show later this month.
Jaguar tells us that the sure-footed cat, in AWD F-Type R Coupe form, will run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, with a limited top speed of 186 mph.

Ian Callum, Brian Johnson and Lord March pick 10 top Jaguars

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

An automaker with as rich a heritage as Jaguar is bound to create a few experts along the way... and some divergent opinions, too. So on the eve of the debut of the new XE, Jaguar brought together three experts to whittle down the long list of classic Leaping Cats to just ten.
For this gargantuan task, it brought in Ian Callum (who, as the company's chief designer, knows a thing or two about Jaguars), Lord Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (the Earl of March and founder of the Goodwood Revival) and Brian Johnson - who may be better known as the frontman of AC/DC, but also a classic car enthusiast, collector and racer in his own right.
So what did the designer, the nobleman and the celebrity choose? The SS100, XK120 (namely number NUB 120), the C-Type that competed at the 1953 Mille Miglia, the D-Type that won at Reims, the Mk II sedan, the E-Type that served as the Geneva show car, the one and only XJ13, company founder Sir William Lyons' personal XJ6 S1, the TWR XJS touring car and the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9.

Jaguar reportedly prepping fully electric F-Pace

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Tesla might want to take a look over its shoulder because there could be a cat catching its Model X in a few years. Jaguar reportedly has a fully electric vehicle under development that is possibly based on the upcoming F-Pace crossover, and it could be on sale in Europe as soon as 2018. Autocar cites anonymous "well-placed industry sources" as the foundation for the rumor and believes that Jag's future CUV would be the most likely recipient of the new powertrain. The battery electric technology would reportedly be shared with the brand's partners at Land Rover to keep costs down, and a range of around 300 miles would be the target. The F-Pace is reportedly already being prepped with a number of drivetrain options. JLR's latest 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged 3.0-liter V6 are likely choices. However, a hybrid version is rumored, as well. JLR has been taking baby steps towards electrification for quite some time. Perhaps the biggest example was the introduction of the Range Rover Hybrid, but Land Rover has also been rumored to have an EV version of its flagship SUV under development too. The company already tested several electric Defenders, as well. From Jaguar's camp, the automaker recently trademarked the EV-Type name in the US and Europe, and its C-X75 concept had a very interesting hybrid system. The reason for all of this EV development from the Brit brands is to adhere to constricting emissions rules around the world, according to Autocar. The EU is moving to real world testing possibly as soon as 2017, and US regulators continue to work towards cleaning up the cars here, too.
