European Collectibles is pleased to offer this fully restored and matching numbers 1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster.
This beautifully restored Jaguar XK120 was sold new to a doctor in Michigan who owned it for over forty years. After his death in 1995, it was sold to a dealer who sold it in 1996 to a gentleman who used it during the summer months for the next ten years. When, in 2006, a new clutch was necessary (which requires removal of the engine) the decision was made to do a full restoration. The work was carried out by noted Jaguar specialist, Piscazzi Auto Body of Akron, Ohio. Mr. Piscazzi is well-known among Jaguar enthusiasts for building some very high scoring JCNA concours cars. In fact, Mr. Piscazzi embarked on the restoration of this car right after finishing the restoration of his own personal 1952 Jaguar XK120. Although not originally Jaguar Bronze, a similar shade was chosen for this car. The original Suede Green interior color was chosen when this interior was replaced by Frank Konkoly of the Upholstery Shop in Akron, Ohio. The top and original side curtains are black, and the toneau cover is Suede Green. The list of mechanical work performed
includes, but is not limited to: rebuilt - cylinder head rebuilt, - new valves, -
rebuilt carburetors, - restored intake manifold, - new clutch, - “custom” heavy
duty shifting fork, - new throw out bearing, - new water pump, - new belts and
hoses (all), - thermo electric fan, - new brakes and wheel cylinders, -
completely rebuilt front end, - new oil seals, etc., etc. Electrical - complete
new wiring harness, - rebuilt generator, -rebuilt voltage regulator, - new
improved gear reduction starter, - new fuel sending unit, - new batteries, -
new coil, - new points, - new condenser, etc., etc. Miscellaneous - new wood
floorboards and trunk boards, - five new radial tires and tubes, stainless
steel exhaust, rebuilt rear shocks, - new front shocks. The chrome was plated by Custom Chrome. Since the restoration, this fine Jaguar has
been used sparingly and has always been serviced. A recent rebuilding of the brake master cylinder
has just been completed along with several test drives by the mechanic to
ensure proper sorting. Please note that although not restored to its original paint color, this
Jaguar has all of its factory numbered components in place - engine
block, cylinder head, transmission and body. Receipts and photos from the restoration are also included in the sale. We welcome bidders from anywhere in the world. We are happy to arrange shipping on your behalf, but all associated charges are the responsibility of the buyer. CA residents are required to pay sales tax, license and registration. |

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace
Mon, 24 Jun 2013YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.
Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
