Muncie Imports & Classics is proud to offer for auction this very nice 1962 Jaguar E-Type OTS 3.8L. This is a late 62 and has the drop floorpans. The current owner has owned the car since the late 80’s. This is a number matching car. It is very well detailed and most everything is done in factory correct colors but has not been over finished to the point where it can't be driven. The owner was a JCNA member and participated frequently in local Jaguar club shows.

1) The car underwent a restoration in the early 90’s. At that time several body panels were replaced including but not limited to a full door, a door skin and a brand new complete bonnet. It was then repainted red (was originally grey) and undercoated. The paint still looks good for a driver but isn’t perfect Concours show winning paint.

2) The black interior was replaced at the same time it was repainted. It’s still in good condition but does show some minor wear. No rips or tears could be found. The top was also replaced with the interior and is a high quality stayfast cloth top by Bassett Jaguar. It’s still in fine condition.

3) To our knowledge and the owner’s knowledge the engine has never been overhauled. It does leak oil from the usual spots but runs very well with no bad noises.

4) The gearbox was replaced with a synchronized 4.2L gearbox but the owner still has the number matching original non-syncro Moss gearbox.

5) In 2009 the car took a slight hit on the RH front headlamp area. We did the repair work here. The chrome headlamp ring was damaged and repaired and re-chromed. We also replaced the bonnet beading chrome strip on the RH side. The metal below and to the side of the headlamp was straightened, repainted and the paint blended.

6) The owner doesn’t recall exactly when the tires were replaced but thinks they’re around 20 years old. Plan on new tires if you buy this.

7) The radio does not work but is original for the car.

8) Included is a full tool kit and original jack.

9) The owner doesn’t remember ever replacing the clutch but it may have been before he bought the car.

10) The battery was replaced 10/2011

11) This car has been running silicone brake fluid since the mid 90’s.

12) From our inspection of the car the front suspension control arm bushings need replaced.

13) The brake master cylinder was replaced in 2007.

14) Both sides rear wheel bearings were replaced in 2005.

15) All of the coolant hoses were replaced in 2002.

16) The boot lid (trunk lid) hinge springs are worn out or broken. The boot lid won’t stay open by itself.

All in this is a very nice driving car and is ready for some summer fun right now. It has always enjoyed being stored in a heated garage and was only driven in nice weather. The owner has won several shows in the driven class. If you’re looking for a early E-Type that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg then this may be the car for you! Feel free to call either Chuck or Tom to see the car personally or test drive it. 800-462-4244

Jaguar F-Type 'Design Study' headed to Goodwood

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

With the Goodwood Festival of Speed taking place this weekend, Jaguar has announced it will be there with its new trio of R models as well as a design study version of the hot new F-Type sports car. While we've already seen the XFR-S last year at the LA Auto Show and the XJR and XKR-S GT at the New York Auto Show, the F-Type design study has our attention.
Based on our recent sighting of a fixed-roof F-Type being tested in full camouflage, this could mean that we'll finally get to see a sexy F-Type Coupe in near-production form. Of course, with all of the other R branded models on display, Jaguar could also unveil a sporty new R - or maybe even an RS - F-Type roadster. Whatever is planned, it will not be a static display - Jaguar says the design study car will be in action, making the fabled run up Goodwood Hill with chief engineer Mike Cross at the wheel. Scroll down for more information about what Jaguar has planned for Goodwood.

Jaguar testing facelifted XJ in UK

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Europe's flagship luxury sedans don't go through their lifecycles quite as quickly as other models need to, but with the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class hitting the road, Jaguar must feel it's time for a little update for its XJ sedan. And as these spy shots demonstrate, that's just what it has in store.
Falling firmly in the subtle-facelift category (as opposed to the full refresh), the placement of the camouflage on this new XJ appears to be hiding new fascias front and rear. Reshaped bumpers, trunk lid, grille and air apertures seem to be part of the impending facelift, but for better or worse, those black rear pillars seem to be staying put.
While Jaguar's at it, we can expect some updates to the cabin as well, with upgraded infotainment, ambient lighting and such. But don't go expecting anything radical at this stage. The XJ has been on the market for about four years, and it'll be another few before it demands a complete overhaul.

Jaguar XK and F-Type meet for final sibling faceoff

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

There's nothing that real, dyed-in-the-wool car geeks love so much as to say "Old Car X is actually a lot better than New Car Y." For reasons that defy both logic and science, we all (your author included) are able to, almost simultaneously, bitch about needed advancements in current vehicles and then bemoan character lost in the next crop.
Mitsubishi Evo models have been supremely prone to this bifurcation of opinion in recent years (ask an Evo IX fanboy about the Evo X sometime... ), and performance cars wearing WRX, Mustang, and M3 badges have been deeply subject to it, as well.
The Jaguar XK and F-Type are not exactly in the same one-model, generational-changeover form as those mentioned above, but that doesn't mean that there aren't defenders of both the old dog and the new joint. Autocar seeks the truth of the matter in this new video, and we're just happy to come along for the ride. May the best sib win.
