1952 Jaguar Xk 120 One Owner on 2040-cars
Willis Wharf, Virginia, United States
|
You are bidding on a one owner 1952 Jaguar XK 120. I am listing this for a friend who's father just passed away at age 98. I am sorry that the photos of the car are not better. It is in a storage shed and the lighting was poor. We believe that ever part is there to due a full restoration. As you can see in the photos each box is labeled. He saved the leather so new pieces could be cut. The windshield is there but it is cracked. You can use it as a pattern. Below is the description that the son in law wrote up.
This XK 120 was bought new 8/15/1952 by its current owner and is original with all matching numbers and the original title. The car was driven regularly until the early 1970's when it was placed in covered storage awaiting restoration. In the mid-1980's the owner, a retired engineer at Fairchild Aircraft Manufactures, began restoration. The goal of the restoration was to return the car to driving condition and resume regular use. The car was disassembled and the work on the mechanicals was undertaken. The engine and transmission were overhauled and returned to full working condition. The brake and suspension were overhauled. All body rust was repaired and the door sills on both sides were replaced. The drivetrain was reinstalled in the body. At that point, in the early 1990's, work was halted due to various personal reasons and the car was returned to covered storage where it has remained until now. The owner has recently died at age 98 and the car is being offered for sale by his estate. The car is believed to be 100% complete, and except for the replaced sills, is completely original. The body is in excellent condition with most of the original paint mostly intact. While still being driven, the car suffered a minor fender bender and there is damage to the left front fender and front valance. The convertible roof framing is complete, but the canvas has rotted away. The car has the original steel wire wheels but the tires are rotted. The original wooden floor boards are available, along with a new replacement made from epoxy coated marine plywood. A number of reference materials are also available, including shop manuals. There is also a manual that the owner made up that has drawings of many of the parts on the car and how they are installed. From my observation the floor of the trunk was replaced. I do not know if the car will roll. I would suggest bring wheels with tires and maybe it will roll without much problem. This car is sold as is, where is. We will help get it out of the storage shed and across the lawn to the transport truck. A good neighbor and friend has had this in their shed for a quarter century. And we want to make sure their lawn is not damaged when the car is removed. The car is located in Hagerstown Md. If you are very serious and want to make a offer before the auction ends and need to see the car we can arrange that. Otherwise the car is not available for viewing. $500 through PayPal within 24 hours of end of auction. Balance due within 5 days of end of auction. PayPal, Bank check or cash. We would like the car picked up within 7 days after auction ends. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. |

2014 Jaguar XJR unleashed just ahead of New York show [w/video]
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Just a week after teasing us with the first image of the car, and mere hours before revealing it to the public at the New York Auto Show, Jaguar has pulled the wraps off of its 2014 XJR super sedan.
The British automaker has confirmed that the XJR will be kicking out a full 550-horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8, affording the sedan a 0-60 mile per hour sprint of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 174 miles per hour. A ZF eight-speed automatic transmission will still allow for respectable fuel economy, as Jag estimates ratings of 15 miles per gallon city and 23 highway.
Newly tuned dampers and stiffer spring rates, along with an electronically controlled differential should ensure that the massive power of the engine isn't wasted in transition to the road. Jaguar has also tweaked steering software and hydraulics, with the goal of increased road feel, response and overall feedback. 20-inch signature wheels carry wide Pirelli rubber (265-section up front, 295 in back) to keep the XJR planted.
Stunning Jaguar E-Type Lightweight tribute featured by Petrolicious
Tue, 17 Dec 2013This is a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type Coupe. Enzo Ferrari, Il Commendatore himself, called it "the most beautiful car ever made." It can count among its owners Steve McQueen, Brigitte Bardot and a number of other celebrities from the 1960s. It remains one of the prettiest and coolest cars ever.
While we don't normally prescribe to modifying classics like the E-Type, cars that are used for vintage racing, like this particular example, are certainly the exception. It's owned by Jason Len and is the subject of the latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
Len's 1964 E-Type has been fashioned to look like one of the rare Lightweight E-Types from 1963 and 1964. The aluminum-bodied E-Types, of which only a dozen were built, were all intended exclusively for racing, much like Len's heavily modified example. While it retains the 3.8-liter straight-six, its engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and body have been extensively tweaked and fettled to allow this classic Jag to compete with a field of V8s.
2014 Jaguar XJL AWD 3.0
Wed, 25 Jun 2014A bit of British nobility floods the senses when piloting the 2014 Jaguar XJ. It's an emotional rush, a perception based on physical surroundings that influence the mind in much the same manner that a stein of pilsner tastes best when consumed in a German beer garden and no sand is softer than that found on a warm Caribbean beach. Jaguar has been assembling cars for nearly 100 years, and few automakers are as equally adept at capturing aristocracy and timelessness within the rich cabins of their luxury offerings.
Jaguar would have no concern if it were the only game in town, but that's far from the truth. The premium full-size luxury segment, which includes vehicles hovering just under or at the six-figure mark, is a contentious grouping that includes the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Porsche Panamera. Each of those brings its own game to the battle, and none are easy to dismiss.
To better understand the British perspective and evaluate its latest offering on a land without royalty, I recently spent a week with a long-wheelbase, all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ in Southern California.
