For Sale ~ Shelley Jack Labels

When P1B75802BW was being given a 100 point restoration (See Newsletter Vol. 1, No. 3), the then owner found that the Shelley jack label was ‘very tatty’ and there were no NOS or reproductions available. He contacted the Register and we were able to provide dimensions, drawings and colour photos of the original (and only slightly worn) label on the Shelley jack in P1B79909DN.

 He had a small batch of exact replica labels produced.  Each label is the original 7/8 in. wide and 1 3/16 in. high. The design, colours and type styles are correct. Placing one beside the original label clearly shows the authenticity.

After the restoration was completed he kindly donated a few of these labels to the Register.  We thank him, and will supply them to members for US$5.00 each, including postage worldwide.

The easiest and quickest way to pay is via PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account, you can still use it with any major credit card.

1966 Jaguar 3.8S Automatic (P1B77968BW) - (Posted 10/19/2015)

 

Hello,

 

I have been collecting parts to build up a 1966 Jaguar 3.8S Automatic (P1B77968BW) for a few years. Now, I am no longer able to continue with the project and am interested in getting it and the parts to a good home.

 

The car doesn’t look like much, but I was driving it until the right front spindle failed. I installed a new spindle, and was in the process of doing some other work on the car when I bought a house and moved. My plan was to do the sheet metal restoration, install a new interior and build up a 4.2L triple carb engine with 5 speed transmission.

 

I would like to sell the car and parts as a package, as I don’t have the heart to part the car out and sell off all the bits separately.

 

Included:

 

  • Most every usable part from a 1965 RHD 3.8S manual OD with manual steering that I parted out, including title. This includes the OD transmission, which was freshened, drive shaft, differential and all the components necessary to convert to the manual 4 synchro OD gearbox.

  •  

  • Other good parts from the 1965 3.8S are: Bonnet, boot lid, All four doors, front fenders, front and rear valences, vinyl front and rear seats (black). Front and rear glass. What appears to be a good condition 3.8L engine, carbs, manifolds, etc. the oil is clean and the engine turns over. Gauges, a pair of correct recessed foglamps. Steel wheel front and rear hubs.

  •  

  • New parts included: Lotsa.  The high points are: Rocker panels, rear fender lower repair panels

  • A stock Falcon brand stainless steel exhaust (there are two of one side rear resonator, so one will have to have the inlet pipe modified to fit correctly). Steering rack conversion kit with rebuilt XJ6 rack and conversion alternator. Lockheed brake servo. Brake and Clutch master cylinder.

  •  

  • In addition there is a Toyota Supra 5 speed with Dellow bell housing and shift linkage conversion. The 3.8S flywheel has been re-drilled for the Toyota clutch, which is included.

  •  

  • There is also a Mk X triple HD8 carburetor set and XJ6 4.2L engine with spare crankshaft

  • Just for fun there is a pair of UK sourced stainless steel headers. They are probably for an E-Type, but I figured I could work with them.

  •  

  • Four good wire wheels are included, along with others suitable for rolling.

  • There are spare front and rear bumpers which were re-chromed (although these are now in fairly rough condition). Also there are other re-chromed parts from the UK 3.8S including hub caps, headlight rings etc.

 

As you can see from the photos the car is pretty beat. The drivers door was hit by a trash truck when the car was parked at the curb. There is a dent in the bonnet and the windshield is broken where I dropped a computer monitor on the car during the move. There is rust in the rear fenders and a bit in the front fenders. The car lived most of its life in Colorado and was restored badly at one point. The headliner is falling down and the interior has been re-done in Ford blue vinyl. The car does roll easily, although the suspension and brakes would need to be gone through.

 

If you have managed to read this far along, there is also a mostly complete good condition tool box and also the remnants of one that could be restored. You know how much these are worth.

 

I would like to get $5,000 for the package, but would entertain offers if that is unrealistic.

Stuart Brown (P1B7790BW) produced a wonderful Jaguar Calendar, in 2005, that featured our (actually his!) beloved ‘S’-type as the centre fold car for June. The calendar was illustrated in Newsletter Vol. 5, No. 11.

Now Stuart has donated a few remaining (unsold) calendars to support the Register and they make a GREAT ‘S’-type garage wall piece. There just two (2) available for a US$10.00 donation to support the International Jaguar ‘S’-type Register.

They are first-come-first served to Register members. If you would like to have one, reply to your Editors at jagstype@gmail.com asap. 
 

‘S’-type “Barn Find” for sale (Posted Sep. 8, 2014)

 1B55927BW is a genuine “barn find” having spent the last 35 years sitting unused on a property near Sutton just north of Canberra, Australia. Canberra weather is said to be the kindest of all regions in Australia for the preservation of motor vehicles; and this ‘S’-type is a remarkable find.

1B55927BW was purchased from Bryson’s in Sydney by Michael Paul Charles Williams and first registered February 11, 1966.  In late 1967, it was sold to the owner of an auto service centre in Fyshwick. The car was driven and well cared for until the second owner died in 1978, Chassis No 1B55927BW then became the property of his daughter, was registered in 1979, but just sat for the next 35 years,

The car is remarkably complete and relatively rust free.  The chrome is still in good condition and the body free of dents and scratches although the paint work clearly shows the effects of the long period of storage in the open. 

The interior is complete, but also needs a full restoration. The tool container and most of the tools are still with the car. Documents include the wallet containing the service booklet, operating, maintenance and service handbook, maintenance chart, original registration papers and a full set of original keys.

1B55927BW was recently acquired by a Jaguar enthusiast who is currently undertaking a nut and bolt restoration of a XK140 FHC, who writes, “On reflection, the restoration of the car is a little more challenging than I initially anticipated”, and wants to find the car a good home.  Also available with the car is a manual gearbox with Laycock de Normanville overdrive serial number GB 42274 JS.

1965 Jaguar ‘S’-type For Sale in Charlotte, NC (Posted Aug. 25, 2014)

This is a 1964 (registered in NC as a 1965 – chassis number 1B52793) Jaguar 3.8 ‘S’ automatic RHD in opalescent silver grey with oxblood leather interior. We bought the car from England in 2009 and shipped her over from Southampton to Charleston. She came with just over 6,000 miles on the clock and I have put another 4,000 miles on her myself without any problems.

This is what we have been told about her history: She was bought in December 1964 from Shaw & Kilburn in St. Johns Wood, London. The car was purchased by a British Naval Commander and driven for several years before being put into storage. It was then discovered 20 years later and slowly restored by, what I would call, a passionate amateur. The car was used as a chauffeur car and wedding car in England before I purchased it and shipped her over to the states.


The car comes with a ton of records and receipts which show the amount of money, time and effort that was put into her in England, including having the engine completely rebuilt by VSE in England. When the car arrived in the states, the transmission was bad and beyond sensible repair. I had a local professional Jaguar restoration company perform a transmission conversion using a 700R transmission. This conversion makes the Jaguar ‘S’-type an excellent driving car and is a very strong 4-speed transmission; this car will drive on the freeway at 70mph doing 2,000 rpm all day long.


Complete work done under my ownership:
700R transmission conversion
Petronix high output ignition system installed
14” electric fan (this was installed with a temperature switch but I don’t trust those so I put it onto a manual switch inside the car)
Carburetor and AED completely overhauled
Rebuilt manual steering box
Alternator
Radiator overhauled and pressure tested
Both fuel tanks cleaned, pressure tested and new sending units installed (though one of the sending units recently stopped working)
Windshield wiper motor
All four wheels have been professionally tuned and balanced by Hendrix Wire Wheels, on Jaguar hubs. New inner tubes and Vredestine tires, shipped over from Holland. These are the original knock-off wire wheels!
Lots of other smaller items performed but not worth listing. Stuff like battery cable, electrics, exhaust mounts, radiator mounts etc. etc.

Here’s what I know is wrong:
A few bubbles on the paint and a scratch on the rear.
Would benefit from new door seals
The horn does not work from the steering wheel and instead works from a push button on the dash behind the wheel (probably just the wiring inside the column)
The steering column adjustment could do with breaking down as it doesn’t tighten as much as I’d like
As mentioned before, the left tank sending unit recently stopped working
Oil leaks? Very small on the engine and on the differential. About ¼ cup of oil will drip over a month or two. Anyone who knows Jags would know this is very, very small
Cigar lighter doesn’t work, probably just the cigar lighter itself as it is original.
Clock doesn’t work but most of them don’t
That’s all I can think of; a few small things.

The car has twin stainless steel exhausts from front to rear and starts first time, every time and the AED performs flawlessly. The engine is strong, quiet and smooth with no rattles or noise and is in excellent performing condition. The car runs true and straight with no wobbles or vibrations and the interior is excellent. All the electrics work, it has the original radio still in it (that’s the wires you see in the photos) and though it doesn’t work, I haven’t bothered to replace it as I like having the original one in place. All the switches work and lights work etc. etc. etc. it passed its MOT in England before it was shipped and when I had the engine scoped, each cylinder was perfect and balanced.


The car loves to drive and needs to be driven. I’m selling her because I also have a Spitfire and two cars are a lot to keep up with and they need to be driven.


This car is beautiful and only has 10,293 miles from new, according to the paperwork and MOT history. She draws a crowd wherever I go and comes complete with the Jaguar Heritage certificate. The car is located in Charlotte, NC, and any inspection is welcome.


Asking price = $17,500. Not sure if I am willing to include the badges in the price as they are quite rare and collectible.

2) glovebox light assembly and glovebox door switch in detail,

3) glovebox door Lucas switch in detail.

price for all above is $150.00 + actual shipping cost. The glovebox lamp assembly is no longer available, therefore the price is high.  Same for the glovebox door Lucas Switch.

I have many other parts for sale.  (ALL PARTS HAVE BEEN SOLD)

Jeff from Ridgecrest, CA is selling an 'S'-Type (Posted August 19, 2013)

I found this ‘S’-type in a local tow yard. I cannot do anything with it, so I hope a Register member, or a friend, can save it either to restore or use as parts in their restoration. I did start the motor and it sounded very smooth. Most of the removed parts are in the trunk. If someone could save this car that would be super. I need about $750 out of it.

Ivan from Canada is selling his 'S'-Type (posted June 11, 2013).

General description - Jaguar 3.8S 1965
The S-Type was built from 1963 to 1968 and less than 25,000 units were built.
It has the front looks of the MK2 but is more luxurious and incorporates the rear independent suspension from the E type, has more rear passenger room and a much larger boot for luggage.
This particular example carries VIN # P1B77809BW and was imported from the USA five years ago, it has only 65,000 miles. It is in good to very good condition and leaves by road. The car passed technical and safety inspection when I imported it to be able to register it in Canada. It is driven occasionally during summer and stored in my heated garage in winter. I have relocated to France for work and must sell some of my toys…
 

Body
Opalescent blue paint by previous owner is really nice but not concours. There is no rust on the floors under the carpets or seats, on the fenders, rocker panels, doors, boot compartment, engine bay, subframe that I have inspected. Chromes were entirely redone and are very nice all over the car. All glass is excellent, all windows operate properly, all locks work, doors latch properly and all body panels are correctly aligned. I have done absolutely no bodywork to this car since I bought it.
 

Engine-transmission
This car is fitted with the larger 3.8 L engine, has normal oil consumption and pressure of 40-50 lb. The cooling radiator is newly rebuilt, there is a new electric pancake fan so engine temperature stays in normal ranges even in traffic. SU carburators are completely rebuilt, correctly adjusted, polished, both fuel pumps are new and the electric choke works well, so the car starts instantly every time. There is Pertronic electronic ignition and Lucas high performance coil, new plugs and wires. The automatic 3-speed transmission works well and shifts smoothly.

Brakes-suspension-wheels
Brakes were redone to pass inspection and an upgraded larger Lockheed brake servo unit was installed. The six schock suspension rides very smooth and absorbs irregular road surfaces very well. Wire wheels are original Jaguar units, without any broken wire, tires are brand new radials with proper vintage thread design.

Interior-instrumentation
Interior is really nice. All wood is beautiful, leather seats are all new with contrasting piping and the smell… Instruments work well, including the ampmeter and yes the clock also works as it has been modernised. 12 volt system uses the standard negative ground. Dashboard lighting now uses stronger LED. The steering wheel has a beautiful wood rim and the roof headliner is recent. Carpets are in good condition.

The things to know
The car is not a concours car, it is a drivers car and there are always things that could be fixed or upgraded. The vacuum operated air vent trap opens manually but not via vacuum. There is some play in the steering linkages but it does pass safety inspection, there are minor oil leaks under the engine and transmission, the radio is the original with the tape player, and the retractable antenna does not operate. The only place I have found rust is on what is called the crow foot, a kind of reinforcement section behind the front grill near the bottom of the fenders, they cost 25 British pound from SNG Barrat. Apart from that, the car is as described above.

Final words
The car is sold as is, it is almost 50 years old, drives well and has no major flaws. I drive it in the summer to keep things running smoothly so it is registered and insured and can go by road. Between purchase price, repairs and upgrades, I have invested in excess of 30,000$. The car comes with some maintenance spares, the Jaguar parts catalog and detailed maintenance manual.
I am looking for a fair market price, unfortunately much lower than what I have invested. Just make me a reasonable offer and we can negotiate.

Long-time Register member, Clark Westneat, has a very rare ‘S’-type. It is a certified ex-Metropolitan Police car. There were only 263 ‘S’-types made in police car form – and only about 10-11 are known to exist today. Clark has been slowly researching and restoring the car and calls it a “10 year Project now 3/4 done”. It has a professional-rebuilt 3.4 litre engine (original), DG250 Transmission, 4.09 diff., new sheet metal all round, all rechromed, new SS exhaust, powder coated & re-built suspensions, new paint, all new Ambla upholstery (as originally fitted), new carpet, refinished black timber (as Original), new tires much more  

Clark regrettably, because of health and personal reasons, must find a new home for this historically significant ‘S’-type. If you can help, or know someone who may be interested, contact Clark at: clark@westneat.com

Just heard from Geoff Rogers that he has a 3.8 ‘S’ for sale:

Geoff says it is solid, engine turns, complete with a decent black leather interior from another car. And that the asking price of $1,600 is a good deal less than the value of the parts but he won't part this one out. He also has lots of good used ‘S’-type parts, though, from other, rustier, cars and other sources. He'd accept a trade of something else interesting, particularly pre-1968 Jaguar parts.
The car is in Shutesbury, Massachusetts.

Mark Goodkind of Ecology Auto Parts in Phoenix, Arizona recently listed a 1965 3.8 'S'-Type (P 1B78078 BW).  He was entertaining an offer of $2,000 for what is essentially a parts car with lots of good parts (including some very nice chrome).
