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.

Here's what a front-row seat looked like in 2014 Mille Miglia
Tue, 26 Aug 2014From 1927 to 1957, the Mille Miglia was one of the great, romantic European road races of the golden era of motorsports. The cars were fast, beautiful and loud but also extremely dangerous and regularly claimed drivers' lives. After two fatal accidents in '57, the event finally had to reform and came back in 1977 as a historic rally held over the course of several days. That didn't make things boring, though, and Xcar found that out firsthand with a front-row seat to this year's race in a 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
Xcar was actually following the Jaguar team this year that included Ian Callum and Jay Leno in an XK120, which we previously got a glimpse of when it was covered on Jay Leno's Garage. Where Leno focuses on a more personal story of competing, this one takes a more macro view. You really get an idea of how crazy the Mille Miglia still is, and while the F-Type is way too new to actually compete in the rally, it can still wear an event sticker and drive with the vintage racers.
One amazing fact about today's Mille Miglia is that if you're competing in the event, there are basically no rules. The roads are technically still open to traffic, but the police shut down intersections and provide a rolling roadblock. Xcar's F-Type alternated between following on the course with the classics and snipping off chunks of the route to watch the participants arrive at each stop. Check out the video to experience fantastic historic rally.
Jaguar F-Type SVR and Range Rover Evoque Convertibles go rainbow for Pride
Sat, Jun 29 2019BMW isn't the only automobile company getting involved in Pride Week, as Jaguar Land Rover announced it also has cars that will participate. And yes, they're convertibles with rainbow stripes. On Sunday, June 30, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will participate in the NYC Pride March with several themed vehicles and employees walking next to them. JLR chose two of its most intriguing vehicles in the Jaguar F-Type SVR convertible and the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. Jaguar unveiled two different F-Type SVRs, one in a gorgeous blue and the other in white. Both cars have the same detailing, though, including rainbow stripes on the the sides, rear bumpers, and hoods. The F-Types also have rainbow stripes across the tops of their windshields, and "JAG YOU ARE" decals across the windshields and rear bumpers. The silver Evoque is only slightly different. It, too, has rainbow stripes across its doors, rear bumper, and windshield. Rather than a "JAG YOU ARE" decal, however, "EVOQUE" is spread across the front bumper in rainbow lettering. You can check out these unique models at the Pride parade in NYC.
Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones
Thu, Oct 19 2017While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.
