This meticulously maintained 1971 Jaguar E-type Series II Roadster is one of the last Series II roadsters imported prior to the introduction of the larger Series III version. The Series II retained the sleek and nimble size and styling of the original 1961 E-Type design, famously named by Enzo Ferrari as “the most beautiful automobile ever made,” while integrating 10 years of refinement in drivability, reliability, comfort and safety: The engine is fueled by the factory installed dual Zenith–Stromberg carburetors which offer improved drivability over the earlier SU carbureted engines. A larger front air intake as well as the upgraded cooling system with dual electric fans eliminated the cooling issues of the early E-types. The factory upgraded disc brake system includes the improved Girling calipers to replace the less effective Dunlop units. Shoulder belts added to lap restraints 1971 was the last year the famous racing-designed “XK” 6 cylinder engines were used in the car; only 35 were built that year with that motor, 19 of which were roadsters. The beautiful wooden steering wheels left with the XK engine, as the much heavier 12 cylinder motor introduced that year necessitated power steering and a metal steering wheel, further changing the driving experience. In 1998, the owner of this car decided to freshen this rust-free, undamaged, and unmodified E-Type to the high level of finish reflected in the photos. The cost of this project exceeded $30,000 in this “no expense spared” restoration. The exterior color was changed from sable to black, otherwise the restoration renewed the car to original condition. The body was expertly prepared and the color conversion was extended to include all surfaces. The quality of the coachwork and paintwork is outstanding. All body panels are arrow straight and properly aligned. Automotive Restorations of Stratford,Connecticut http://www.automotiverestorations.com/ was selected to perform the restoration, given their extensive experience with the Jaguar mark, as well as their commitment to craftsmanship since 1978. A partial list of work includes: New paint, leather seats, door panels, carpet set, canvas top Complete engine detail Complete tune-up with carburetor rebuild, new ignition coil, water pump New clutch and clutch system hydraulics Brakes, wheel bearings, fuel sender, blower motor BASF Glasurit color code 1250 finished with clearcoat was selected to ensure a permanent show quality finish. The interior was restored with Connolly Biscuit leather #A3243. The chrome trim is in excellent condition including the chrome wire wheels and wire spare with “redline” Michelins. The “knock-off” hubs reflect its Jaguar racing heritage.The leather is supple, cool in the sun, and in excellent condition. All gauges are functional including the clock. The black canvas convertible top is in excellent condition and the eisenglass window is clear and crease free. Throughout my ownership of this beautiful vehicle, I have kept it garaged and drive it 2-3 times a week, both enjoying it and keeping it in excellent running condition. I have fueled it with only ethanol-free high test gas. I am privileged to own this elegant piece of automotive art and history and look forward to inquiries.

Jaguar XF gets performance-look R-Sport trim
Wed, 26 Feb 2014If you're looking for all the style of a sports sedan but without the added expense of springing for a full-on performance model (and keeping it fed with fuel and fresh tires), most European automakers will gladly hook you up with an all-show, no-go package. BMW has its M-Sport aero kits, Audi its S-Line, and Mercedes its AMG Sport packs. And now Jaguar is getting in on the action with the launch of the new R-Sport line.
Set to be introduced on the XF at the Geneva Motor Show, the R-Sport trim at least some of the flash of the XFR or XFR-S but with a more economical engine and a relatively accessible price of entry. (This is, after all, still a Jag.) The XF R-Sport is distinguished by a sportier front bumper, side sills, rear spoiler, 17-inch wheels and unique badging to set it apart from any "ordinary" Jaguar XF. The interior is upgraded as well, and there's an optional black styling pack to take things even further.
Jaguar is offering the XF R-Sport in either sedan or wagon form with the 2.2-liter turbodiesel producing 161 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, fitted with a spot-start system to make it a far more frugal option than the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 in the real deal. Although this version won't be coming to US as you see it here, Jaguar tells Autoblog it's always possible it'll produce a similar aesthetic treatment for the North American market - just don't count on such models arriving under diesel motivation. We'll take a closer look at them in Geneva next week, but for now, you can check out the gallery and press release below for an idea of what to expect.
Jaguar and Land Rover now offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Tue, Oct 23 2018The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace will come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, and the connectivity feature comes as a roughly $300 option on select and appropriately equipped 2019 Jaguar and Land Rover models, the joint automaker said. It comes via Jaguar Land Rover's Smartphone Pack, which is available on all 2019 and future models, but with conditions. The car in question must have the 10-inch InControl Touch Pro touchscreen or split-touchscreen Touch Pro Duo infotainment systems, plus navigation, InControl Apps and Wi-Fi connectivity. Those are included on some upper trim levels and available as separate options on others. So basically, depending on trim level, you could be looking at a simple $300 add or a long-line of other extra charges just to get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are other new features coming for the InControl Touch Pro system as well, including voice command for navigation, major graphic refreshes for certain screens, new shortcut buttons on the home screen for key navigation, media and phone functions, and changes to the user experience in the media screen. Jaguar and Land Rover first introduced the InControl Touch Pro for 2016, enabling users to learn whether they have enough fuel or battery range to get to a searched-for destination and share their destination, current location and ETA with others via email or text message when using the on-board nav system. The Touch Pro Duo first debuted on the 2018 Range Rover Velar and will be standard on the 2019 I-Pace electric crossover, plus the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. It features interlinked dual upper and lower touchscreens. In terms of the trim level availability mentioned earlier, a JLR spokesperson tells us that Smartphone Pack is available on all 2019 Jaguar F-Pace trim levels. It is available separately starting with the F-Pace Prestige trim level, but on the base F-Pace and Premium versions, you have to also get the optional Connect Pro Pack, Navigation Pro Pack, and traffic sign recognition and adaptive speed-limiter pack. Yes, it is a bit complicated. JLR recently released a touchscreen infotainment system designed to blend in with vintage models that retails for $1,796 before taxes.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
