For sale is my Series 1 Jaguar XJ12 that I have owned for just over two years.  It was purchased out of California in January 2011 with very low mileage of 17,601.  It was sold to me as a one owner car (and was sold from the owner's car collection).  Always garage kept, and current mileage is only 18,723 (as of March 2013).  Engine is strong and the car drives straight.  There is no known accident history (and no signs of any accident repairs).  It is in it's original paint (British Racing Green) which is in pretty good shape (as evidenced from the pictures I am supplying).  However, upon very close inspection, some very light hairline cracks can be seen in the paint on the roof if the light is just right.  The paint also has some pebble related chips behind the rear wheels.  In the past two years, all belts and coolant hoses have been replaced, and the carbs have been rebuilt, and the battery was replaced.  The A/C compressor has also been replaced, and the A/C system works good except that it is somewhat low on R12.  The radiator has also been rebuilt, and the thermostats replaced.  Valve cover gaskets have been replaced.  The pollution control air rails have been removed.  The power steering rack was recently rebuilt due to a leak.  I have also replaced one of the two fuel pumps.  I've also had the headliner redone.  The circuit board in the electronic ignition has been replaced with the REOPUS board (and it works great).  Spark plugs have also been replaced.  The tachometer sometimes sticks, and a light tapping will free it up.  The clock works intermittantly.  Tiares are in great shape.  I believe that this is probably one of the best examples of a Series 1 XJ12 in the country.  The car is currently garaged in Richmond, TX.

Jaguar-based Eagle E-Type Low Drag GT makes its bid for most beautiful car ever with EVO

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

The Jaguar E-Type is one of the icons of automotive design, and British company Eagle has made a business out of restoring, upgrading and building their bespoke versions for the last 30 years. It does for the E-Type what Singer does for the Porsche 911 - takes an already great classic car and updates its mechanicals for the modern age.
The firm's latest creation, the Low Drag GT, might be its greatest ever, at least according to editor Henry Catchpole in Evo magazine's latest video. The car takes its inspiration from a trio of low-drag E-Type coupes built in the 1960s, but thoroughly modernizes the concept. The engine is based on Jag's inline-six, but made from aluminum and bored out to 4.7 liters to produce 346 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Catchpole says it's enough to propel it to 60 miles per hour in about 4.5 seconds. The body, transmission and differential are all also made from aluminum to cut the weight to 2,288 pounds, and modern upgrades include Ohlins dampers, AP Racing brakes and even extras like concealed GPS navigation and an Alcantara headliner. There's more head- and legroom than the originals, too.
Each car is built bespoke for each buyer, so prices vary, but Catchpole says the one he is in would run about half the cost of a LaFerrari - around $700,000.
