1969 E TYPE JAGUAR 4.2 2+2 (LHD)


For Sale due to a change in work direction .  This is a 1969 series 2, 2+2 4.2litre in sable with beautiful tan leather. I found the car in America and could not resist it,  it was taken off the road by the previous owner in late 1977 (the 78 tax disc is still in the window).  It is a genuine rust free car from an American Dry State and doesn't appear to have any welding done. The guy who owned the car spent  20+ years buying new genuine parts and refurbished the whole car (comprehensive receipts to prove). He spent over $20k on new parts.  The car when parked up had done less that 30k miles,  after getting the car back to this country I thought the paintwork was looking dull so it was fully repainted and is now mot'd and taxed and drives well, The interior is unused and so in mint condition as you can see in the photographs. I think you would be looking for a very long time to find such a rust free low mileage 4.2. 

Please see my other auction as I am also selling the other E Type in the picture (Which will come under item number  130909489893)  After many years of searching I managed to find the car I had been looking for, it is a series 3 5.3 V12 convertible a genuine rhd, British, 39,000 miles with manual gearbox in red with black leather it is fitted as standard with power steering and drives beautifully! It drives as well as a modern car, it has just had a new clutch fitted. The paint is near perfect as is the hood etc, it is quite rare as Jaguar made less than 2000 rhd cars and a lot of these were auto or sent to Australia.  Therefore finding a genuine rhd British car and not one that has been re-imported and converted from lhd or auto was a challange.  It took me along time to find and to be truthful I don't want to sell it but needs must! The number plate 110 OFM is not included in the price but is negotiable at a later date.  This car does not appear to have ever had any welding done on it.  It is an original un-restored vehicle with just a re-spray.  

This/these cars can be delivered anywhere in the UK including any dock of your choice for shipping and export at a moderate cost.

Both cars are for sale seperately, but I would entertain a buy it now for both cars, to purchase both vehicles.

Please remember everyone's opinion of a vehicle is different.  If you bid you bid to buy not to view.  If you wish to view the vehicle please email or phone Dave on 07836250149.  Selling with low start price. Happy Bidding!

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

2016 Jaguar F-Type debuts available manual transmission, AWD

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

If you're like us, you fell in the deepest, darkest sort of love with Jaguar's F-Type the moment its voluptuous form first surfaced. The car's full-bodied engine specs only furthered our ardor, and the droptop Jag sealed the deal before we even turned a wheel - all it took was hearing its engine bark to life.
And yet, even after driving the original convertible and the subsequent coupe, we've never quite shaken the notion that Jaguar erred a bit too heavily on the Grand Touring side of the equation for a proper sports car. That's partially because even the base model comes with a boatload of weight-adding luxury features. But perhaps more importantly, it's because the F-Type has only been available with an automatic transmission. Admittedly, the gearbox in question is a damned good paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF unit, but it's always chafed a bit that Jaguar wasn't committed to offering purists a manual - even if such a model would never be a high-volume proposition.
Apparently we weren't the only ones bothered by three-pedal omission. According to Russ Varney, F-Type Vehicle Program Director,

Jaguar returns to open-wheel racing with Formula E team [w/video]

Tue, Dec 15 2015

One of the most legendary names in motor racing – Jaguar – is returning to the open-wheel racing, but not with an internal-combustion engine. The British company has confirmed its plans to enter the FIA Formula E Championship. Though the British automaker has revealed little in the way of concrete details, the team is set to join the electric grid for the third season starting next fall. Jaguar will team up with Williams as its technical partner, drawing on the relationship they established in developing the C-X75 hybrid hypercar concept and on Williams' considerable racing expertise. The F1 team founded by Frank Williams developed the battery system for the SRT_01E that all the teams are using currently. "Electric vehicles will absolutely play a role in Jaguar Land Rover's future product portfolio and Formula E will give us a unique opportunity to further our development of electrification technologies," said JLR's chief engineer Nick Rogers. "The Championship will enable us to engineer and test our advanced technologies under extreme performance conditions." The company recently showcased new battery propulsion technology and is said to be developing an electric crossover to be dubbed the Jaguar E-Pace. Jaguar won Le Mans five times in the 1950s and twice again in 1988 and '90, and racked up victories in touring cars in the early 80s. Most recently Jaguar Racing represented the company in Formula One until then-parent Ford sold the team to Red Bull in 2004 before divesting itself from the company altogether in 2007. Aside from the XKR GT3/GT2 that it furnished to privateer teams, Jaguar has not competed in any major racing series since. Jaguar joins Audi, Renault, and PSA Peugeot Citroen on the Formula E grid. The announcement coincides with the withdrawal from the series of the Trulli team. Former F1 driver Jarno Trulli took over the outfit from Drayson and is now relinquishing the slot back to the series organizers effective immediately, dropping the grid down to 9 teams and 18 cars until Jaguar takes its place next season.
