1968 E-type Roadster With Custom-built Ford Racing V8 & Tall Tremec 5 Speed on 2040-cars
Redwood City, California, United States
The best of both worlds. British class, lays rubber in third gear. A very careful, documented conversion, no cutting or welding, no expense spared ($32,153). The original 4.2L engine and 4 sp transmission come with the car should you ever want to return to original. The original engine was completely rebuilt and run for 15k miles before storing it. The second owner (a cable CEO) purchased the car at 40k miles and converted it. I’m the third owner. 76,378 total California miles on the car. Repainted
once with great care, body and chrome an 8.5-9.0 overall. Body has never been hit. Zero rust, hasn’t been driven on a wet road since
I bought it. New interior. Modern Dunlop wheels; tires very good (no visible wear, some light checking). What’s wrong with the car: Wipers don’t work. Speedometer needle wavers, should be rebuilt. A small (1/2”) ding in the bonnet. A short (1/2”) tear in the top repaired from the inside -- top is otherwise excellent, with a clear and unscratched backlight. School
tuitions force sale. An immaculate,
reliable and immensely enjoyable car.
Unbelievable acceleration. You will not be disappointed. |

Jay Leno hits the road in a 1951 Jaguar XK 120 Hot Rod
Thu, Feb 12 2015The 1951 Jaguar XK120 featured in this episode of Jay Leno's Garage might look vaguely like a classic Jag roadster at first, but underneath this cat is something completely different. It was built by Leno's buddy Jason Len of XK's Unlimited when he grew tired of keeping these convertibles stock, and this aluminum-bodied beast was the result. Practically the only major Jaguar part left is the engine. It's a tuned 3.8-liter inline six from an E-Type with Weber carbs that makes an estimated 300 horsepower out of some gorgeous side-exit exhausts. The mill is backed up to a BorgWarner five-speed manual. However, the big surprise is the chassis. In place of Jag's original solution, Len has a custom tubular space frame that he claims sheds some 1,000 pounds over the stock example. There are still some classic Jaguar touches left, though, such as the fin over the driver's head that is reminiscent of the D-Type, and both the wheels and gauges are replicas based on that classic racer. Of course the best part is watching Jay drive this Jag hot rod. This big cat really knows how to purr.
Are you the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R-S?
Fri, 23 Aug 2013It's no secret that Jaguar is working on a fixed-roof version of the F-Type roadster, but now it looks like it's also developing a high-performance model for said coupe. Captured sharpening its claws at the Nürburgring, this F-Type Coupe prototype could very well be an R-S or even a more track-ready R-S GT variant.
Our biggest clue suggesting the latter are its massive brake rotors with bright-yellow calipers - similar pieces are also found on the recently introduced XKR-S GT. This would make sense, since a report in May said that Jaguar is looking to create a full line of R-S GT models in a similar fashion as the Mercedes-Benz AMG Black Series. Missing from this prototype, though, are the telltale aero add-ons we seen on the XKR-S GT - go-faster bits like the latter's front fascia winglets and rear wing, though this model is obviously still being developed. Regardless of what this new grippier, quicker kitty is called, we say "Yes, please."
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
