ARIZONA 2022
AUTO WEEK PREVIEW

With Winter now upon us, Arizona Auto Week seems far away, but January will be here before you know it, so make your travel plans early! With so many vehicles and other sights to see it will take you a good amount of time to go through all of the different events taking place during Auto Week, but the planning out can be a great and useful way for collectors to get ready for what many feel is essentially the start of the 2022 classic collector car year.

1971 Jaguar XKE
Series 3 2+2 

This 1971 Jaguar Series 3 E-Type 2+2 is a 2 owner from new original California Blue-Plate car, and a nice daily driver level example that is ready to be enjoyed now. The E-Type features an attractive exterior color of Silver, complimented by a sleek and tidy Black interior. The 1971 XKE V12 is one of the most sought-after of the Series 3 XKEs with the later-produced 1971 models producing the most horsepower available in the series. The 2+2 was purchased when new by an airline pilot, who routinely maintained and serviced his pride and joy; pilots are known to be meticulous and dedicated to the maintenance of their vehicles like no other. He enjoyed the car for many decades before passing it on to his grandson, who judiciously kept up maintenance by having the same team of technicians at Carlsbad British Motorcars of Carlsbad, CA perform regular service to the Jaguar. Classic Showcase recently acquired the E-Type from the family, and has performed numerous services, and aesthetic improvements to many facets of the XKE. We started by inspecting the overall condition of the vehicle, then mapped out what we intended to do to take the car to a higher level.

1988 Porsche
928 S4

The Porsche 928 S4 is one of the great sports touring cars manufactured in Germany by Porsche. This factory fully loaded example is a highly desirable California car, and a great looking example that has benefited from limited ownership. The 928 S4 features an attractive color combination of Black over Black, and is ready to provide a driving experience that only a Porsche can deliver! Under the hood, the Porsche features a 5.0-liter V8 with a 5-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential and has recently received many new part additions and various services performed to the car. This example looks, runs, and drives wonderfully, and is ready for its next adventure! It is fully loaded with numerous sought-after options, including power-adjustable leather sport seats, an electric sunroof and an upgraded stereo system; the 928 S4 also includes an original tool kit, manuals, service and repair records, along with a clean CARFAX report. This Porsche is ready to grab each twist and turn on your favorite road with ease and turn heads wherever it is driven!

1973 Jaguar XKE
Series 3 Roadster

This British Racing Green 1973 Series 3 E-Type Roadster has resided in a collection for many years, where it was driven, enjoyed, and maintained by its long-term owner. After his passing, he left the XKE to his daughter, who shared many great memories of riding in the car with him during her childhood. While cherishing those moments, she didn’t share the type of passion and dedication that went into the car under her father’s ownership. So, in the best interests of her father’s pride and joy, she set out to find a great source to not only restore the car, but to ensure that it went to an E-Type collector that would be just as passionate about the car as her father was. After exploring many options, she was comfortable in having the team at Classic Showcase restore, and then find the Roadster’s next home. After acquiring the car, we evaluated it from top to bottom, and set out to perform a cosmetic & mechanical restoration, along with a full service by the team at Classic Showcase.

1961 Jaguar E-Type
Series 1 O.B.L. Roadster

This spectacular numbers-matching BRG over Tan 1961 XKE outside bonnet latch roadster was fully restored by Classic Showcase in 2007. These first generation E-Types offer some of the most sought-after features like flat floors and welded louvers. This example has traveled only 1,550 miles since it’s restoration, and has recently been serviced. It is car #180 in early E-Type production history, is a California car, and presents simply wonderful today. The rotisserie restoration included: a complete, documented disassembly, with the body fully worked, metal finished, fitted, and leaded, with all body parts & chrome fitted to the car; it was primed, sealed, and had a base & clear coat applied, finally color sanding & buffing to a beautiful finish. All systems were gone through and restored/replaced as necessary. The engine, transmission, clutch, and hydraulic systems were fully restored, and the car received new rubber, grommets and seals. The upholstery was restored by our master trimmers, with other parts & components restored in proper colors & finishes, using many NOS parts.

1962 Jaguar MK II
Sports Saloon

Classic Showcase is pleased to offer this striking numbers-matching 1962 Jaguar Mark II right hand drive example, that has been restored to a Show-Driver level by professional Jaguar restorers. It presents wonderfully on the outside and inside, as it has been completely repainted in a magnificent color of Opalescent Silver Blue using Glasurit paint, enhancing the classic curves and lines that Mark IIs are known for. In addition, the chrome has been completely re-plated, with the car resting upon a set of larger-sized chrome wire wheels & tires. A pair of driving lights for touring & nighttime driving were added to complete the look. On the inside, the Mark II stands just as beautifully as its exterior, featuring a beautifully trimmed leather interior with a painstakingly restored Wood trimmed dash, a beautiful 4 spoke wood-rimmed Motolita steering wheel, plush Wilton wool carpeting, and a Sony stereo system. Mechanically, the Mark II is a formidable performer, featuring a fully rebuilt fuel-injected 3.8-liter Engine, Headers, dual-stainless steel Exhaust, Alloy Radiator, along with an upgraded, and very dependable 5-speed transmission to provide a great driving experience. The Sedan has also had an improved and upgraded Steering Rack installed, as well as all-new suspension rubber.

1963 Jaguar E-Type
Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe

This stunning E-Type is fresh from an extensive mechanical restoration carried out by Classic Showcase in 2020, and also performed numerous aesthetic improvements to the interior & exterior of the Coupe. The XKE’s mechanicals were disassembled and prepared for refurbishment, while on the exterior, the bonnet as well as other parts of the body were also removed, disassembled, and stripped. The XKE was then painted with base coat, clear coat, and finally wet sanded and buffed to a striking finish. All the bright work presents wonderful and is finely polished, complementing the paint beautifully. The original, matching numbers engine is in great condition and recently received servicing, ensuring the car is ready to be driven. Recently performed services included: engine service, cylinder head adjustments, suspension and steering rack refurbishment, new aluminum radiator, rebuilt carbs, hydraulic & brake system, as well as tidying up & detailing. The undercarriage and engine bay have been gone through, giving this sports car up to date service, and performance and handling. Accompanying this fine E-Type Coupe is an  original owner's manual as well as the JDHT Certificate.

1958 Jaguar XK-150
Fixed Head Coupe

This 1958 Jaguar XK-150 is a numbers-matching Fixed Head Coupe that has been restored by Jaguar Professionals. This Jaguar has been driven very sparingly since its restoration and has always been properly maintained and stored. The car features a spectacular color combination of Maroon over a Biscuit leather interior, producing a great timeless look. The Coupe’s transmission has been upgraded to a 4-speed to enhance your driving experience. In addition, this classic Jaguar model is also an excellent choice for drivers that are larger in stature, with plenty of legroom in the front, as well as a back “jump” seat that can accommodate 2 additional passengers. The FHC also includes a spacious and complimenting boot for traveling. The XK-150 also features dual mirrors, fog lights, and is appointed with attractive brite work. Classic Showcase has recently serviced and prepared this XK-150 for the road, and is ready to be entered in your favorite Concours event, or simply added to your collection as a great investment.
