Vehicle Description
Jaguar is responsible for some of the most memorable cars ever
produced. From the 1968 E-type to the current F-type, the company
continues to define British motoring for enthusiasts across the
globe. It's no coincidence that the brand's designs tend to age
gracefully, and "graceful" is certainly one word that describes
this incredible, V12-powered 2+2. But, since the car earned 97 out
of 100 points at an official Jaguar North America-sanctioned
Concours event in 2017, you could also use "accomplished". And,
since it earned 99 out of 100 points at an official Jaguar North
America-sanctioned Concours event in 2018, you could maybe even
stretch that into "exquisite". That said, the BEST way to describe
the car would probably be "mine".
Few automotive brands can match Jaguar when it comes to consistency
in design. From the E-type forward, long wheelbase platforms with
elongated noses and short rear overhangs became the company's
signature look. This coupe stays true to that formula, with sleek
bodylines that, in addition to being heavily restored in 2003,
we're carefully freshened in 2017. As you would expect, all the
car's panels are remarkably straight and free of any notable flaws.
And naturally, bright chrome reflects well-maintained
stainless.
Hoist the forward-tilting hood and you'll find 5.3 liters of Jaguar
V12 that was professionally pulled and fully detailed in 2017.
Behind that twelve, a factory 4-speed, retrofitted in 2017,
transfers torque to a highway-friendly rear end that was fully
overhauled in 2018. That drivetrain rides a unique independent
suspension, its front-half serviced in 2018 and its rear-half
serviced in 2019. Given this is an exclusive luxury car, amenities
such as power disc brakes have always been standard equipment.
Exhaust travels through stock manifolds to an H-shaped crossover,
polished stainless mufflers and polished, quad-outlet tips. That
hardware frames solid floors that were replaced in 2003. And at the
corners of those floors, chromed wire knock-offs, professionally
trued, cleaned and balanced in 2017, twist correctly sized
205/70R15 Michelin Defender whitewalls.
Behind this Jag's sturdy doors, a luxurious interior, reupholstered
in 2002, has been remarkably preserved. Tall bucket seats are
wrapped in fine leather covering that provides welcoming comfort.
Between those seats, a French-stitched console positions a polished
gear selector behind a proper British Leyland AM/FM radio, which
bumps beats to modern speakers. Above that console, a factory-spec
dash balances an array of Smiths gauges around factory air
conditioning. And the driver spins a speed-drilled steering
wheel.
This vintage E-Type is a clean, reliable classic that features an
unmatched combination of first-class style and Old World
craftsmanship. In the market for authentic luxury motoring that's
excellent in virtually every way? This dignified Jag is your kind
of car!
