1967 Jaguar E-type Roadster (ots) - Gorgeous, All Numbers Matching Series I Xke on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
Offered for sale is an absolutely gorgeous, entirely numbers
matching, completely rust-free 1967 Jaguar E-Type OTS finished in factory
correct (per the original JDHT certificate) and perpetually tasteful Cream over
black leather with an original, solid and unmolested undercarriage. Often
mistaken for Old English White (which was offered on XKs between 1952-1961 and
on Series II and III E-Types from 1970-1974), Cream was Jaguar’s color
designation for white between 1962-1969, a timeless and understated hue that
perfectly offsets the E-Types lasciviously styled body. In terms of
desirability, closed headlamp Series I E-Types are at the top of the list and
final year examples are considered by many to be the most sought after, blending
the preferred early design cues with the stronger, more reliable 4.2L inline
six. If you’re looking for an excellent investment that you can drive and
enjoy, this 1967 E-Type checks all the important boxes. Delivered new to an attorney in Moline, Illinois, he would own
the car for the better part of three decades, eventually selling it to a local
business associate. The second owner kept the car in Moline until 2005, when it
was acquired by a Jaguar enthusiast from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We came across the
car late last year and found it to be in lovely condition – very strong
mechanically, cosmetically beautiful, entirely rust-free and honest – a
testament to the high level of care afforded by its three previous owners. Throughout
its life the car has been a garage queen, enjoyed in moderation, properly
maintained and garaged, with refurbishments taking place as needed. That said,
it’s worth reinforcing that at its core this is an exceptionally original, numbers matching example. Professionally refinished, the factory correct Cream paint is in fantastic shape: deep, lustrous and marred only by the most insignificant of imperfections, none of which are visible in the pictures. The body is entirely straight, free of dings or dents and retaining consistent gaps and panel fits throughout. The brightwork and all of the glass is in good original condition, as are the knock-off chrome wire wheels. The interior is equally as clean, the seats having been recently reupholstered in the correct leather and the soft top and accompanying boot cover having been replaced. Late Series I Roadsters are exalted amongst motoring enthusiasts,
thanks in no small part to the venerable 4.2L engine. Firing up without
hesitation, the engine idles consistently, pulls strongly and smoothly through
each of the gearbox’s four gears with excellent compression across all
cylinders. The cooling system works well and the exhaust note from the dual
stainless system is fantastic, the perfect accompaniment to the visceral, grin-inducing
ride quality. The car drives and brakes straight and true, the suspension is
tight and the car is a joy to drive, whether tooling through town, roaring
through the canyons or bombing down the highway. With Series I E-Types fetching outlandish prices in recent collector car auctions, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a fairly priced, honest, beautiful, very original and appreciating final year example with strong, numbers matching mechanicals and clean aesthetics. Whether it will continue service as a cherished weekend driver, as a Jaguar Club of North America touring and event participant or as a welcomed addition to a collection, this gorgeous example needs nothing to be enjoyed but a doting new owner. We want
this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and
answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557.

Reed Motorcars We’ve
always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have
created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally
be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other
acquisitions. That time has come for this Jaguar (if the price is right, of
course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the
cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and
are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please
do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to
other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before
bidding. For U.S. buyers
a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction’s end,
the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Foreign buyers must
pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end. Buyer is responsible
for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with recommendations and
arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the right to end the
auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end. Thanks for your
interest. |

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
Tata to shed 1,100 Jaguar Land Rover jobs after coronavirus hits earnings
Mon, Jun 15 2020BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors Ltd expects to shed about 1,100 temporary jobs at Jaguar Land Rover after it raised the cost-cutting target at its luxury unit by 1 billion pounds ($1.26 billion) to ride out the disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Tata Motors expects to save 5 billion pounds in costs by March 2021 at its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, the Indian automaker's Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on Monday, adding 3.5 billion pounds of the savings had already been achieved. It will also reduce capital expenditure at JLR to 2.5 billion pounds for the current fiscal year, from the more than 3 billion pounds it has spent annually in previous years. "Conserving cash and prioritizing capital expenditure, and targeting investment spending to the right areas is our focus," Balaji told reporters, after the company posted a fourth quarter loss. We anticipate that up to 1,100 agency employees will be affected, a JLR spokeswoman said in a separate statement. Tata Motors is reviewing all its businesses and would consider exiting those that do not add strategic value, as part of a broader effort to save 60 billion rupees ($789 million) in its domestic business in the fiscal year to 2021. The automaker on Monday posted a consolidated fourth quarter net loss of 98.94 billion rupees, as coronavirus lockdowns across its markets ravaged sales, including at JLR. Total revenue from operations fell 27.7% to 624.93 billion rupees in the quarter, which ended March 31. JLR, which contributes the bulk of Tata Motors' revenues, reported a pre-tax loss of 501 million pounds for the period after it took a hit of 800 million pounds because of the novel coronavirus, Balaji said. He said there were signs sales were recovering in China, one of JLR's biggest markets, as well as in the United States and in Europe, with strong orders for Land Rover's sport-utility vehicle Defender and Range Rover's Evoque. JLR's boss Ralf Speth, who has led the company since 2010, will step down from his role at the end of his contract term in September.

Jaguar Land Rover to skip 2016 Detroit Auto Show
Mon, Nov 23 2015Jaguar Land Rover won't attend the 2016 Detroit Auto Show in January because the automaker will shift its focus to other international shows instead, the company confirmed to Autoblog. "Following a review of our global consumer engagement program, the decision has been made not to exhibit at the Detroit show in 2016," said a company spokesperson told Autoblog. The story was first reported by Automotive News. JLR will continue to attend other US auto shows in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles; plus those abroad in Geneva, Frankfurt, Paris, Beijing, and Shanghai. "We recognize that the Detroit show is a world-class Tier 1 auto show, however, we have had to make this decision to sharpen our focus as indicated," the spokesperson said. Detroit Auto Show PR Manager Max Muncey told Autoblog that the organizers already knew JLR wouldn't be there. "We are in discussions with other automakers to fill that spot," he said about using the open space. The show expects 70 percent of the floor plan in 2016 to be different from last year. The automaker used the 2015 Detroit Auto Show to announce diesel versions for several models, and it revealed the name for the Jaguar F-Pace there. JLR reportedly now has a plan to cut the equivalent of $6.8 billion in costs without firing workers and increase production to a million annual deliveries by the end of the decade. Related Video:
