Up for auction is my 1974 Jaguar XJ12L that I have owned for about 25 years. It was a Florida car. It has the V12 with 4 carburetors. The car has been repainted in the original sable brown and has a newer biscuit interior with cinnamon original type wool carpet. The bumpers were replaced with NOS ones that I purchased not long after I bought the car. It has the very rare right side door mirror. The dash has been replaced with a dark burled wood and is in perfect condition. All gauges and switches work. The radio in the pictures has been replaced with a CD player. I had not driven the car in several years, so last year I replaced all of the calipers, pads, rotors, and emergency brake cable. A new exhaust was installed at that time. At that time a noticed a slight, intermittent ticking sound coming from under the car. The noise would come and go and went away completely when warmed up. Since my last listing on ebay, and after much searching, I finally found the cause; the flex plate (flywheel) has two small cracks in it. This, of course has caused me to re-evaluate my reserve price, since repairs will be needed. The engine runs beautifully, and the car drives very well, with no side effects from the flex plate problem. I have no idea of how long it has been like this, but I don't remember the ticking being there when the car was stored.

As you can see from the pictures, everything else is in great condition. It's not a 100 pt show car, but extremely presentable in its present state. These are getting quite rare in their original state; many gave up their engines for XKE replacements and many became V8 conversions because the drivers didn't realize that it takes a little time to warm up 12 quarts of oil before punching the engine hard. I'm selling to fund other restoration projects. Please feel free to ask any questions, I will do my best to give you an honest answer. No warranty, buyer must deposit $500 within 48 hours of auction close. Pick up only near Fond du Lac, WI. I can help with loading. Thanks for looking.

Stunning Jaguar E-Type Lightweight tribute featured by Petrolicious

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

This is a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type Coupe. Enzo Ferrari, Il Commendatore himself, called it "the most beautiful car ever made." It can count among its owners Steve McQueen, Brigitte Bardot and a number of other celebrities from the 1960s. It remains one of the prettiest and coolest cars ever.
While we don't normally prescribe to modifying classics like the E-Type, cars that are used for vintage racing, like this particular example, are certainly the exception. It's owned by Jason Len and is the subject of the latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
Len's 1964 E-Type has been fashioned to look like one of the rare Lightweight E-Types from 1963 and 1964. The aluminum-bodied E-Types, of which only a dozen were built, were all intended exclusively for racing, much like Len's heavily modified example. While it retains the 3.8-liter straight-six, its engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and body have been extensively tweaked and fettled to allow this classic Jag to compete with a field of V8s.

Jaguar models could rev with inline-six engines again

Tue, Apr 19 2016

Rumors are swirling once again that Jaguar might return an inline-six engine to its lineup. Autocar claims Jaguar Land Rover will use the modular Ingenium engine family to create a 3.0-liter straight-six. The new motor will replace the automaker's current V6. As with the Ingenium 2.0-liter four-cylinder, JLR will likely offer the powerplant in gasoline- and diesel-fueled versions. A rumor in May 2015 also suggested JLR would create an Ingenium-based turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit. According to Autocar, the engine bay in the XE, XF, and F-Pace can already fit the longer engine. The automaker isn't talking, though. "We can't comment on future product one way or another," company spokesperson Nathan Hoyt told Autoblog. Jaguar built much of its performance legacy with straight-six-powered vehicles. While the C-Type and D-Type were winning races with the engine layout, practically every Jaguar production model used them as well. Today, straight-sixes are less common. BMW continues to use them, and Mercedes-Benz reportedly also plans to offer one soon. While Autocar's report is still just a rumor, the move to an inline-six could be advantageous for JLR. For example, using an Ingenium-derived design could simplify manufacturing by allowing the company to build the powerplant in one factory alongside the 2.0-liter version. Returning to a design with such an important heritage for Jaguar would also make life easy for the brand's marketing team because it could link the new engine to past racing glory. Related Video:
