The E-Type was unveiled in March of 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, following the famous 11th hour disorder (one of
the cars was driven to the show from England with just hours to spare). The car was an immediate sensation: its
specification was state of the art, its bodywork arrestingly gorgeous, and the price surprisingly affordable. It
embodied William Lyons values beautifully and it is no surprise that the E-Type has become such a legendary part of
automotive history. The specification clearly demonstrated Jaguars racing experience and included independent
suspension all around (at a time when Ferrari was still using live rear axles), disc brakes all around (inboard at
the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and of course Jaguars legendary twin cam inline-6. The cars were continuously
developed, however, the arrival of the twelve cylinder engine changed the cars character irreversibly. The Series
II cars featured a host of changes to modernize the car, including larger lights and many changes introduced on the
Series 1.5 cars including Stromberg carburetors and safer interiors. While lacking the purity of the early cars,
they provide substantially the same experience and are dramatically less expensive, generally about half the price
of a comparable Series I.
This particular XKE it has been maintained with no expense spared by its current owner with most services
occurring at British Motor Specialist . The car has received careful service. The thoroughness of the care is
evident,
The cars striking paintwork remain in good condition and show well. The paintwork is generally free of scratches.
The car was repainted in a portion of the nose, other than that car still in original paint. The paint presents
strongly overall with a few small blemishes and the occasional chip. Overall, the chrome on the car is good. Glass
in the car is good overall and appears to be original. The overall cosmetic impression of the car is strong and
these small blemishes are only evident upon close inspection.
The cars interior is still very soft and supple and is correct in appearance. The dash top appears in like new
condition and is excellent, as are the carpets. The balance of the interior appears to be original and is correctly
presented and in very good shape. The switches and instruments are in very good condition as well. The cars wooden
wheel and shifter appear original and show some wear to the varnish.
The engine of the car is clean and shows well, showing much evidence of recent maintenance and originality. The
wiring is tidy and an aftermarket aluminum radiator has been installed to improve the everyday drivability and
usability of the car. The remainder of the engine compartment is tidy and quite clean for a driver level street
car. The hood fits well.
Behind the wheel, this E-Type is a pleasure. The engine displays good oil pressure, with fifty pounds indicated at
idle when warm. The cooling system maintains proper temperature thanks to the additional cooling capacity from the
aluminum radiator. The car is generally FANTASTICALLY smooth in operation. The transmission is in good order with
smooth synchronizers and the correct amount of clutch free-play. The engine pulls strongly and smoothly to redline
without misses. The brakes stop well and straight with no pulsation. Overall, the car drives nicely in keeping with
its status as a clean and well-maintained 34,000 mile vehicle.

Jaguar planning two bodystyles for next XJ
Wed, 17 Apr 2013As we alluded to in today's F-Type first drive, Jaguar hasn't been selling its wares in China for very long, and as a result, buyers there usually don't have the same appreciation for the brand's history. So you might reasonably think that the company's recent radical styling shift (kicked off by the 2008 XF) wouldn't be as jarring to the nation's buying populace since they really didn't have the automaker's more traditionally styled models from years past to compare them against.
Yet while Jaguar and its sister marque, Land Rover, continue to pick up steam in China's developing market, that apparently isn't necessarily the case. Local buyers there tend to have more conservative tastes when it comes to styling, preferring more upright dimensions, big back seats and larger quantities of traditional luxury materials (think: chrome and wood) than other markets currently find desirable. Thus, the very bold current-generation XJ sedan may be leaving some sales on the table.
According to Edmunds, Jag doesn't want to risk that, and as such, it is preparing two bodystyles for the next-generation XJ - one with the rakish coupe-like styling of the current model, and a more "old-school" three-box sedan designed to appeal to a wider swath of Chinese buyers.
Jaguar C-X17 gets liquid metal finish for Dubai show [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Nov 2013We thought the C-X17 concept looked pretty good when Jaguar unveiled it in Frankfurt a couple of months ago. But that shade of blue, while nice enough, made it look like it shared more than a similar name with the Mazda CX-7. No, what a Jaguar needs is a more luxurious paint job than electric blue. And that's just what the British automaker has given its crossover concept in time for the Dubai Motor Show this week.
What we have here is the same C-X17, but repainted in what Jaguar calls "a lustrous Liquid Aluminum liquid metal finish," and we have but to agree. What do you think? Scope it out in the fresh batch of high-res images above and cast your vote in the poll below.

London skyscraper caught melting cars
Tue, 03 Sep 2013A new skyscraper under construction in London is apparently to blame for some mysteriously melting car parts on the city's surrounding streets. The 37-story building at 20 Fenchurch Street, nicknamed the "Walkie Talkie" for how it looks, features a convex side of glass windows that apparently concentrates the sun's rays like a kid with a magnifying glass. Instead of smiting ants, however, the building was caught focusing its sun-sourced laser death beam on an innocent Jaguar XJ parked on Eastcheap street. The intense heat managed to melt a sideview mirror, plastic C-pillar cover and Jaguar emblem (scroll down for an image of the damage).
Fortunately, the construction company, Land Securities, had some scruples and reportedly left a note on the car for its owner reading "Your car's buckled, could you give us a call?" They've also since apologized and agreed to pay for the £946 done - about $1,500 - in damages by their blazing hot building. A joint statement with the Canary Wharf district in which the building's located was also released. In it, the developer acknowledges concerns about the reflected light and says it's looking into the matter. The city has also decided to close a few parking bays that could be in the building's line of fire, so to speak, until a solution can be engineered. Since news of the melting Jag broke, other vehicle owners have also come forward claiming the building, re-nicknamed the "Walkie Scorchie," has damaged their cars, as well.
This isn't the first shiny-new-building-attacks-cars story we've heard - architect Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles was built amidst concern that its polished ribbons of stainless steel were blinding motorists and causing accidents, along with raising the temperatures of nearby buildings with its reflected light. The building's surfaces were later given a matte polish.
