1969 Jaguar E type 2+2
This car started as a very low mile (7266 actual miles!) , solid driver that the previous owner drove for awhile
and then decided to go all out and have a frame off restoration done without regard to expense. It was born silver
with dark blue interior. Automatic with air conditioning. He had the car built for his wife and wanted it to be
more comfortable, ride and handle better, and be more reliable than factory. He also wanted to show it as well.
The restoration bills alone totaled over 100k! Every piece was touched!
The engine was swapped with a new ford crate 302 (the original matching numbers 6 come with). A new TCI ford
automatic with overdrive trans was installed (the original Matching numbers Jaguar automatic is included). The
rear end is the original but it was completely gone thru. Every area of the car was touched! It has an upgraded
aluminum radiator. Ice cold Vintage air system. Power steering and brakes. All that was done in the engine
compartment can be reversed to stock if you choose so. As it is right now, it fires up right away and cruises down
the road straight, you can run 80 with ease. No rattles whatsoever. As I said, the previous owner built it for his
wife so he wanted it to drive easy and be reliable. The car is very well sorted out.
The paint work was done by a high quality builder with a long standing reputation of building quality cars. It
is a very straight, but does have a couple chips around the edges of the rear boot. There has been a little over
5k miles put on the car since completion. It is a dark grayish- green color. I have paint for touch ups if the
new buyer needs The undercarriage is just as clean as the top. There was no undercoating applied. All the
chrome, glass, weather striping, etc was all redone. He chose to remove the front bumper corners but they are
included with the car as well.
The interior was completely reworked as well. The seats were recovered in leather over top the original frames.
The seats and headliner and absolutely beautiful. The console was reworked with built in speakers and a secret
audio unit. All gauges work. New Ron Francis wiring. They did replace the Jaguar speedometer and tachometer with
new, but the originals are included. The title states 7266 actual miles (see pic) and original speedometer
matches, however I am selling 7266 NON ACTUAL miles due to the fact that the speedometer was changed. The
aftermarket speedometer in it now shows the miles accumulated since the frame off which is just over 5000. This is
a common practice when classic cars are completely restored, I just like to keep things straight. One of the pics
is of the car prior to restoration. In hindsight, they would have been wise to not touch the car, keep as a very
low mileage survivor and save the over 100k they spent on the restoration, but this is where it is now. He just
wanted to start with the best car he could find to have his car built upon. The guy was extremely picky and
precise.
This is an stunning car. Upon inspection the high build cost is evident. I like to try to disclose all issues I
know of, so when the new owner comes to pick the car up there are no surprises. The few things I see are, the
couple chips in the paint as previously mentioned. These are not at all excessive, just what you would expect from
the limited usage the car has had since completion 5000 miles and 7 years ago. The passenger exterior door handle
sticks. I have not had it looked at yet. I feel a little hesitation going into overdrive. It does go, it just
seems to me it takes a sec longer than it should. This may be indicative of these transmissions when adding
overdrive, but I'm not sure, this is the first Ive owned with this kind of set up. I am a purist and all the cars
in my collection are bone stock. I thought of swapping the original engine and trans back, reinstalling the
original front bumper corners and speedometer and tachometer, but this car is way too nice to touch. I will be
more than happy to show the car to serious buyers and send any additional pics needed. I will also be happy to
discuss the car 317.667.6240.

Jay Leno drives the Jaguar F-Type Project 7

Tue, Sep 22 2015

Even for Jay Leno, Monterey Car Week is a special experience. After all, his collection is absolutely massive, but vehicles show up for this exclusive event on the California peninsula that even Jay doesn't know about. He's giving us a just a tiny taste of this year's event in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. The majority of this clip is dedicated to an in-depth look at the Jaguar F-Type Project 7, and Jay gets the details direct from designer Ian Callum. The two of them are old friends after doing the 2014 Mille Miglia together in a Jaguar XK120. After getting a mountain of info about the inspiration behind this special F-Type, they go for a ride on some beautiful California roads to listen to the wonderful, crackling exhaust. Following the drive, Jay finds a racecar from the teens that he is completely unfamiliar with. Thankfully, the mechanic is nearby to shed some light on this rarity. We hope there're more videos to come about Leno's visit to Monterey Car Week, but hopefully his team can fix some of the sound issues in this clip.

Jaguars and Land Rovers to feature in 007's Spectre

Mon, Feb 9 2015

James Bond may be more closely associated with Aston Martin, but Jaguars and Land Rovers have featured in 007 movies new and old. Skyfall, the most recent installment in the series, opened with Bond and Moneypenny ripping through the streets of Istanbul in a Defender and saw M being chauffeured around London in an XJ. And the upcoming feature Spectre is set to feature some of JLR's finest as well. While Bond himself will be piloting the new Aston Martin DB10, the movie will also feature a Jag and a couple of Landies. The Jaguar C-X75 concept, as we know, will be part of a chase scene against the DB10, now revealed to be set in Rome. But the movie will also include the new Range Rover Sport SVR (with what looks like some auxiliary lighting) and at least two Defenders modified by JLR Special Operations to "Big Foot" specifications with 37-inch off-road tires, upgraded suspensions and added bodywork protection. As you may recall, a couple of months ago a fleet of nine vehicles used in the film were stolen from a garage in Dusseldorf, including five Range Rover Sports. This is the first confirmation we're seeing of any of them being SVR models, or of the Big Foot Defenders being part of the mix as well. The scenes including the Land Rovers have already been filmed in Austria, and we're looking forward to seeing them all on the silver screen come November.
