high resolution images of this E-Type are hosted via PhotoBucket. All of
the pictures can be seen by either clicking the slide show below, clicking any
of the sample images below, or copying and pasting the web address: Exterior: The rest of
the exterior is presentable as well. As
stated, the body panels are all impressively straight. They are not wavy. I am not able to find a
ding on the body. No evidence or records
of significant damage ever. The panels
were stripped to bare steel prior to the paintwork being performed. The body/VIN is numbers matching. Gaps throughout are great, with the driver
door being slightly pushed out due to new weatherstripping which should compress
over time. The passenger door jamb still
needs the vertical weatherstripping piece ($50). Lenses overall are nice with Lucas headlamps
units up front. Chrome/trim throughout
is presentable, shines, and is reflective, almost perfect looking from five or
so feet away, but with close inspection on some of it, it shows typical wear
such as pitting and scratches. Hatch
window trim is present but not installed.
Glass throughout overall is good, some minor wear, and some scratches on
the driver glass as well as other minor scratches on the upper part of the windscreen. It was not significant enough to show up in
the photos. None of the glass has any
cracks or significant stone impacts. The
chrome wire wheels look absolutely beautiful and show some typical aging/oxidation. The redline tires are new and contrast very
nicely from the dark blue. The underbody
and engine bay is not Concours clean but is impressive. Those areas have been refurbished with
cleaning, paint, and numerous part replacement throughout. Underside of the hood sheet metal also is
great. All in all, the exterior of this
E-Type collectively is very presentable and visually appealing. Interior: The interior
of this E-Type is mostly original, overall complete, and shows some
patina. The dashboard is very nice and
would not need much attention. The pad
does not have any cracking, rips, or other issues. Gauges overall look good. Some touch up here and there could be in
order like on the choke knob or enjoy as is.
Steering wheel is original wood and has received some repair. Headliner shows age, has some markings, but
is not drooping. The driver seat shows
some wear. The passenger seat shows more
wear and has some cracking/separation. Head
rests are present and fine. Seat belts
are present and are fine. Door panels
are original and have some scarring due to the window cranks hitting them. Hatch area material shows typical wear to be
expected. The interior overall is
presentable and shows expected patina for having traveled 86,000 miles. It does not distract from the beautiful exterior
of the vehicle but a future owner may wish to refurbish the interior. Excellent complete interior kits can be purchased
from many different sources like www.osji.com and
cost about $3,200. I personally would
just enjoy the E-type as it is but a future owner may opt for such interior work
being done and this has been considered in the value of this vehicle. Mechanical: This E-Type
is impressive mechanically and well sorted.
This was a nicely running and driving vehicle prior to receiving the
recent refurbishment, not some sort of barn find. It has received about $15,000 worth of mechanical
refurbishment since 2011. I have a four
page itemized receipt with totals and dates scanned and pictured. There are some mechanical details that can
still be worked out like with any 40+ year old car but the major important
aspects in many of the different systems (suspension, brakes, engine, cooling,
etc.) are taken care of resulting in this being a very fun to drive vehicle. Some of the significant recent work includes: -New clutch,
new slave cylinder, new reservoir -Rebuilt
carbs -Engine
serviced, cleaned, and painted, new choke cables, new water pump -Starter
rebuilt -Radiator
reconditioned, new fans -New ball
joints -New
battery, cables, and tray -New brake
master cylinder, front brake rotors, some brake hose replacement -New tires
and tubes -New
u-joints -Rear hubs: One
hub rebuilt, one replaced -Fluids
throughout The Jaguar
E-Type is a very special vehicle. The
fix head six cylinder two seater coupes are considered by many to be the most
attractive vehicles ever produced in the world.
In the context of when these vehicles were produced, E-Types also offered
impressive technology and performance compared to its competitors. The engine is a big, torquey, and high
horsepower for a little sports car, dual overhead cam 4.2L inline six. Fully independent suspension with disc brakes
at every corner was standard. The Jaguar
E-Type was a great value compared to other options back in the day (Aston
Martin, Maserati, Ferrari, Austin Healey, Porsche) and the Series 2 E-Type
holds true to that right now today as well.
These cars are so pleasant to drive.
The sound the engine makes is intoxicating. The view from the cockpit of the power bulge
and rounded fenders makes one feel like they are in something very
special. And of course, it is the type
of car that when parked in the garage, one can just sit and stare at. Needless to say, it receives tons of positive
attention and from all ages (ex: Yesterday while out for a cruise and ending up
behind a brand new Aston Martin, the driver stopped me to compliment the
E-Type). This numbers matching E-Type offered for your consideration is an extremely clean and presentable example that is ready to be driven and should be driven. Its finish shines beautifully and is a very uncommon, complimentary, and eye catching color. This E-Type has been well sorted mechanically and can be enjoyed as is or with some more effort be brought up to another level. With consideration for this E-type’s originality, excellent mechanical condition, and beautiful cosmetic condition, I have tried to set the asking price fairly at $48,500. Serious buyers are welcome to contact me with any questions. Preferred calls are between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM central time. Clean title. Fuel tank is full and car is clean, ready for its next caretaker. 262-391-1069 Add write up, photos, and video footage

Autocar compares new Maserati Quattroporte to Jaguar XJ
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe took the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte on a spin along snowy mountain roads to test it for a specific brief: as a limousine for the chauffeured class. It's sporting credentials are impressive: Twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8, 532 horsepower, 475 pound-feet of torque in casual circumstances that rises to 532 lb-ft in overboost, a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour sprint of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.
However, citing Maserati's desire to not just increase its sales to 50,000-per-annum by 2015, but to sell many more of its cars in China, Sutcliffe wanted to find out if the livery side of the Quattroporte could match its sport sedan side. So after taking the pilot's seat and trying out the sport settings, Sutcliffe hops in back to test out the CEO's seat.
Then he compares the Quattroporte against the long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ with its supercharged V8, a sedan that's 15,000 pounds less expensive than the Maserati. It doesn't take long for him to find that one of them is a clear winner when it comes to transporting VIPs. To find out which one, enjoy the video below.
Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
Jaguar XE spied flying over London
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We only have a few hours to wait before Jaguar finally, and fully, unveils its oft-teased XE sedan. But the Internet is no respecter of secrets, as these very last-minute spy shots make clear.
Presumably being airlifted to its spectacular debut location near Earl's Court in London, the BMW 3-Series-fighting XE was captured mid-flight, and completely undisguised.
The images are understandably a bit blurry, but they do confirm that DNA from the current Jag lineup is transitioning nicely to the new small luxury sedan. The XE shows a stance typical of the brand, with a relatively short rear overhang, and big, boldly styled wheels. The bluff front end is reminiscent of if the XF and XJ, and, as we know from earlier teasers, will wear a "growler" logo over a black grille.
