MotorCarTrader.com is thrilled to offer another great Jaguar E-type and Classic Sports Car. This is a truly special two owner Jaguar E-type Roadster. This car was built on May 6 of 1970 and was dispatched on July 14 of 1970. The original colors of this great car are British Racing Green with Beige interior. The first owner was Mr. Wentz of Freedom, PA who purchased the car in August of 1970. The car was then sold to the second owner who bought this car on 10/18 of 1976 and owned until we purchased the car in May of 2013. The second owner purchased the car with 31,170 miles from the original owner and this great Jaguar has only 45,941 original miles on the car. He drove the car less than 15,000 miles in almost 40 years!
We did the restoration to make it better than new, while maintaining its original integrity, as it is a great and one of a kind original car. The car was a nice reliable driver when we purchased it, but we wanted to bring it back mostly cosmetically. All numbers match on this car and it does have a Heritage Certificate. It also has the original owner’s manual, original books, original service book stamped with original owners name, as well as original owner plate. Also, has the original jack, hammer, knock off adapter and jack tools. The car runs and drives great with excellent compression (160psi to 170psi) and oil pressure. The work we did to the car includes the following:
Complete strip of the body to bare metal and repainted the original British Racing Green. The existing paint was mostly original and not bad for original, but the body is so straight we decided to do a complete paint job. All new rubber seals were installed throughout the car.
All chrome was taken off the car and replated.
Like New Chrome wire wheels were installed with brand new radial tires.
A brand new leather interior kit (in correct original color) was purchased from SNG Barratt and installed. The original interior and dash were old and tired. We used the original interior to get an exact match for the color.
A brand new Cloth Tan top and Boot cover also from SNG Barratt was installed. The top frame was stripped and redone as well.
A gear reduction starter was installed for easier starting. The original starter is available with the car.
The carburetors were completely rebuilt.
The engine compartment professionally detailed and transformed while keeping originality (not just cleaned). The carburetors were cleaned and polished. The exhaust manifolds were ceramic coated on both the inside and outside for longevity and durability (will not crack and look great). The intake manifold was taken off and polished. The valve covers were stripped and repainted gloss black and the fins polished. All other engine components were stripped down and repainted or polished. The heater box was taken off, repainted and rebuilt as well.
New exhaust resonators were installed and newer exhaust was installed.
New front shocks have been installed.
Front calipers are rebuilt.
The original wooden steering wheel was polished and the wood was professionally refinished.
The original radio was repaired and does work great.
The original radiator was re-cored and tested. This Jaguar does not get hot and runs cool.
The underside (completely rust free) was extensively pressure washed (de-greased) and thoroughly detailed. This is one of the nicer original undersides and floors you will find on any Jaguar E-type.
Overall, this is certainly one of the nicer Jaguar E-type Series II Roadsters you will find on the market today. In addition, it has great ownership history with only two owners before we purchased this great car. This is truly a very special car, which is a great investment and can be driven anywhere as well.

Mike Hawthorne and Ivor Bueb won The 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955 driving a Jaguar D-Type. The following year, a few days before the race, a British broadcaster put cameras on Hawthorne's car, hung a mic from a plate on his race suit and had him narrate a lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe.
It is compelling viewing. A new pit complex was built after the massive accident on the front straight in 1955, but this was still a time when crews prepped for the race on roads that were open to the public. Hawthorne's lap includes maneuvers to avoid bicyclists and cars, and gems like letting us know that doing 185 miles per hour down the Mulsanne Straight was where you could "relax a little, recover your energy." Watch him work it like the men of old in the video below.

Jaguar Land Rover has announced its intention to build a new assembly plant in Slovakia. Though it has yet to make the final decision, the British automaker has signed a Letter of Intent with the Slovakian government. Its next step is to launch a feasibility study before committing. If the company does go ahead with plans, it wouldn't be the first automaker – or even the first European luxury automaker for that matter – to start producing in Slovakia. Nor would it be the first Jaguar Land Rover plant outside the UK, either. The Volkswagen Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen, and Kia all manufacture in the Central European country. VW's Bratislava plant in particular handles production of the Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. In the past few years, JLR has expanded its production capacity to new locations outside of the UK. It has a new factory in China, one under construction in Brazil, and has been manufacturing in India – home country of its parent company Tata – since 2011. It recently announced a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr in Austria, and is investing in its facilities back home as well. Though yet to be finalized, the prospect of manufacturing in Slovakia has proven more favorable to JLR than other locations in Europe or in the United States or Mexico – all possibilities that the company says it looked into. It has yet to reveal just what it would produce there, saying only that "the plant would manufacture a range of aluminium Jaguar Land Rover vehicles," that the plant would be earmarked to come online in 2018 and eventually ramp up production to 300,000 vehicles. The prevailing wisdom would seem to indicate, however, that the site is being considered for the next-generation Land Rover Defender.

With its established premium automotive industry, Slovakia is an attractive possible development opportunity.

This is it. This is the nasty cat we've been hankering for most. Whereas the Jaguar F-Type convertible remains the company's purest expression of lifestyle fun and expendable income, it's this coupe version that originally stole our eyeballs and never gave them back when it debuted as the C-X16 Concept way back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. And now we've had an early turn at driving the most potent variant, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
This F-Type Coupe design is so utterly visually stunning that, even if something dynamically or functionally was not really to our liking, we would still want to have the wherewithal to buy one and garage it, if only to stare at it - not unlike our reaction to the 2007-2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupe, then. Whether such beauty needs to be in the form of this $99,000 mondo 542-horsepower R version or the more attainable six-cylinder trim is an open question.
In case you need reminding, that's 542 horses maxing out at 6,500 rpm, along with 502 pound-feet of torque on tap between 2,500 and 5,500 revs. There is no indicator yet as to whether Jaguar will eventually come out with an R version beyond the 488-hp V8 S for the convertible, either, so this may well be our only shot at such hair-brained antics in this small Jag. Small and not quite light, we should add - despite its all-aluminum goodness - the F Coupe rings in at 3,638 pounds. That sort of heft is one thing on the street, but it's quite another on a twisty roadcourse, and we aimed to figure out if the coupe's 80-percent greater stiffness versus the open F-Type (along with its higher attendant spring rates) were enough to make a big difference.
