1968 E-type Jaguar Series 1 1/2 on 2040-cars
San Clemente, California, United States
|
This is a 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 1/2. It was completely disassembled in the late ‘70’s and the body was dipped to strip all the paint etc. It was then coated in cosmoline to protect it. I purchased the car about 2 years ago with the intention of restoring it and rebuilding it to the highest standard as the car of my childhood dreams. Plans have changed and it is time to consolidate to fewer projects and this one has to go. I believe the car is about 95% complete, I’m sure there will be some minor parts missing when it comes to rebuilding. As you can see from the photographs all the parts are in boxes or stored on pallets, and I have not done an item by item inventory. I just have not been unable to find anything missing when I have gone to look for it. This is not a numbers matching car. I believe the engine is the correct engine, but not the original. Everything else is, I believe. I have had all the sheet metal work done, which included a new trunk floor, front valance, and many smaller repairs, and the body is now ready to start the process of preparation for painting the color of your choice. I have photographs of the sheet metal work to document what was done. There is no title with the car, I have receipts for my purchase, and it will be sold with a CA Bill of Sale. I believe the car was originally from Massachusetts.

Question of the Day: What's the greatest British car ever?
Fri, Jul 15 2016The British automotive industry has produced everything from high-production econo-commuters to staggeringly luxurious oligarch-wagons, along the way winning plenty of races and building plenty of beautiful machines. The original Mini led directly to the past half-century of transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive cars built everywhere, the MGB put the sporty little convertible into everyone's reach, and the Morris Oxford became the most beloved motor vehicle in India. So many to choose from, but we want you to pick one. What will it be? Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover mulling factory in Georgia?
Sat, Feb 7 2015London's Sunday Times reported last October that Jaguar-Land Rover was sniffing around The South looking for a potential manufacturing site, and was "talking to several southern states." We imagine Georgia was one of them; The Peach State has Kia Motors Manufacturing in West Point, it claims Porsche HQ as a resident, and soon the Mercedes-Benz regional office, too. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has said that Governor Nathan Deal recently took the initiative to fly to the UK to "make prospect calls" with JLR executives about a deal. We don't have any details about the calls, but we'll guess that they involved Deal making a financial case for GA over other states while sipping a cup of tea. It's said that the English luxury maker wants to build a factory here with a 200,000-unit capacity, to take advantage of the same financial efficiencies that have planted other automakers in the US and Mexico; it opened a facility in China last year to build the Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, and the Jaguar XE, and is casting eyes over Brazilian and Saudi Arabian soil for other facilities. No timetable has been given for a decision.

Jaguar could yet offer more hardcore F-Type R-S
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Jaguar pulled a fast one on us all when it unexpectedly shoehorned all 550 horsepower of the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XKR-S into the new F-Type Coupe to supersede the existing V8 S model with the F-Type R. But that's just the beginning, according to the latest intel coming from the UK.
According to Autocar, in speaking to Jaguar design director Ian Callum during the coupe's unveiling at the LA Auto Show, the British automaker could yet offer R-S and R-S GT versions of the F-Type. Just what mechanical changes those would bring when the F-Type R already packs the company's top engine remains to be seen, but given that the same engine also powers the flagship XJR performance saloon, we could envision Jaguar developing an even more powerful version for R-S versions of the little coupe and big sedan.
The GT version, meanwhile, would likely offer more extreme aero and a lighter form for the truly performance-obsessed. Considering that the new top-of-the-line F-Type is already pushing the hundred-grand mark, you can bet any R-S and R-S GT version would approach double the base F-Type's $65k sticker price.
