Clean, Well-Preserved Example. Structurally Excellent
The E-Type was unveiled in March of 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, following the famous 11th hour disorder (one of
the cars was driven to the show from England with just hours to spare). The car was an immediate sensation: its
specification was state of the art, its bodywork arrestingly gorgeous, and the price surprisingly affordable. It
embodied William Lyons values beautifully and it is no surprise that the E-Type has become such a legendary part of
automotive history. The specification clearly demonstrated Jaguars racing experience and included independent
suspension all around (at a time when Ferrari was still using live rear axles), disc brakes all around (inboard at
the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and of course Jaguars legendary twin cam inline-6. The cars were continuously
developed, however, the arrival of the twelve cylinder engine changed the cars character irreversibly. The Series
II cars featured a host of changes to modernize the car, including larger lights and many changes introduced on the
Series 1.5 cars including Stromberg carburetors and safer interiors. While lacking the purity of the early cars,
they provide substantially the same experience and are dramatically less expensive, generally about half the price
of a comparable Series I.
This particular XKE it has been maintained with no expense spared by its current owner with most services
occurring at British Motor Specialist . The car has received careful service. The thoroughness of the care is
evident,
The cars striking paintwork remain in good condition and show well. The paintwork is generally free of scratches.
The car was repainted in a portion of the nose, other than that car still in original paint. The paint presents
strongly overall with a few small blemishes and the occasional chip. Overall, the chrome on the car is good. Glass
in the car is good overall and appears to be original. The overall cosmetic impression of the car is strong and
these small blemishes are only evident upon close inspection.
The cars interior is still very soft and supple and is correct in appearance. The dash top appears in like new
condition and is excellent, as are the carpets. The balance of the interior appears to be original and is correctly
presented and in very good shape. The switches and instruments are in very good condition as well. The cars wooden
wheel and shifter appear original and show some wear to the varnish.
The engine of the car is clean and shows well, showing much evidence of recent maintenance and originality. The
wiring is tidy and an aftermarket aluminum radiator has been installed to improve the everyday drivability and
usability of the car. The remainder of the engine compartment is tidy and quite clean for a driver level street
car. The hood fits well.
Behind the wheel, this E-Type is a pleasure. The engine displays good oil pressure, with fifty pounds indicated at
idle when warm. The cooling system maintains proper temperature thanks to the additional cooling capacity from the
aluminum radiator. The car is generally FANTASTICALLY smooth in operation. The transmission is in good order with
smooth synchronizers and the correct amount of clutch free-play. The engine pulls strongly and smoothly to redline
without misses. The brakes stop well and straight with no pulsation. Overall, the car drives nicely in keeping with
its status as a clean and well-maintained 34,000 mile vehicle.

Jaguar Project 7 Concept

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.

Jaguar Land Rover invests $1.5B to build factory in Slovakia

Fri, Dec 11 2015

Jaguar Land Rover will invest 1 billion pounds ($1.5 billion at current rates) to build a new factory in Nitra, Slovakia. Construction will commence in 2016, and the site will have an initial capacity of 150,000 vehicles a year when the first of them roll out in late 2018. JLR expects to employ 2,800 people there. JLR won't yet say what vehicle it will build in Slovakia, other than it will be an all-new aluminum model. The 2018 timing for the plant's start of production seems to coincide with the launch of the radically different next-gen Land Rover Defender, though. Earlier reports suggested that JLR also considered locations in North America, particularly Georgia, and Europe for the new factory. However, the company signaled the Slovakia choice earlier this year when it signed a letter of intent with the government there in August. The automaker then did a final feasibility study before committing to the site. The new factory continues JLR's recent manufacturing expansion. The company opened an engine plant in the UK last year and a factory in China. There will also be one soon in Brazil, and it will reportedly bid to buy the Silverstone Circuit as a new headquarters. JAGUAR LAND ROVER CONFIRMS NEW FACTORY IN SLOVAKIA • New world-class premium manufacturing facility confirmed in Nitra • The next stage of the Company's plans for sustainable global growth • Today's announcement also supports long-term investment in the UK Bratislava, Slovakia – Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed that it will be the first British carmaker to open a manufacturing facility in Slovakia. The announcement follows an agreement between the company and the Government of the Slovak Republic to build a new plant in the city of Nitra, western Slovakia. The new world-class GBP1 billion premium manufacturing facility will eventually employ around 2,800 people. Today's announcement follows Jaguar Land Rover's recent confirmation to double its investment in its engine plant in the UK to almost GBP1 billion – the largest injection into a new British manufacturing plant in decades creating several hundred new jobs. Dr Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover commented, "Jaguar Land Rover is delighted today to welcome Slovakia into our family. The new factory will complement our existing facilities in the UK, China, India and Brazil and marks the next step in the company's strategy to become a truly global business.

Jaguar XE to start at $35,895, XF at $52,895

Thu, Sep 3 2015

Jaguar has announced pricing for two of its most anticipated models, the new, entry-level XE sedan and the second-generation XF. The British marque also released price changes across its range and unveiled a new customer service pack called EliteCare. As you can see from the headline, the new XE starts at $35,895. That'll score you the base model, the so-called 25t, and its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That puts the baby Jag right in the meat of a very competitive segment. It'll be undercut by the Cadillac ATS, BMW 320i, and Acura TLX, but it's a good bit more affordable than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Infiniti Q50, or Lexus IS. If you like your fuel extra smelly and your torque to be offered by the bucket-full, be prepared to shell out $37,395. The 340-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged-V6-powered XE 35t will require at least $42,695. The XE's big brother, meanwhile, is subject to a significant price drop. The new base model, the 340-horsepower 35t, rings up at just $52,895, or over $5,200 less than the entry level V6-powered 2015 XF. Once again, Jag has parked itself in the middle of a popular segment, although unlike the XE, the vehicles that undercut the XF – the Infiniti Q70 and Acura RLX – are old or not particularly popular among consumers. That's good news for JLR, since the new sedan easily undercuts the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6, while sneaking in just below the likes of the Mercedes E-Class or Cadillac CTS. And if you're in mourning for the 2.0-liter, turbocharged XF, don't be – the new 35t is only $2,000 more expensive, is lighter, and has 100 more horsepower. Finally, we have Jaguar's new EliteCare program. Essentially, should you purchase anything from model year 2016 and beyond, your car will be subject to a limited warranty, free scheduled service, and 24/7 roadside assistance for five years or the first 60,000 miles of ownership. Owners will also have access to Jaguar's InControl Remote and Protect services for the first 60 months. According to the Brits, the warranty is the best in the class, while the free maintenance lasts longer than the competition. Read on for the full press release from Jaguar, which includes details and other small pricing tweaks for the company's range.
