1959 Jaguar Xk150 Base 3.4l on 2040-cars
Hayward, California, United States
|
You are bidding on an exceptional 1959 Jaguar XK150 DHC, white with red leather, with only 53,957 original miles. It has the original California black license plates. My family is the second owner, having bought it from the original owner in 2000. It was not our intention to ever sell this car, but circumstances change. It is in extremely good and mostly original condition. It is a very unique vehicle in that is does not have overdrive. That is the way it was originally sold. It runs fantastic with no problems. It has a sport exhaust of the era, and sounds absolutely fantastic. I feel comfortable driving it anywhere. It is one of those rare cars that just drives like designed. Since we bought it, we have rebuilt the wire wheels, put Vredestein tires on it, rebuilt the generator, replaced the fuel pump, changed the batteries to gell cells, replaced the leather seats, replaced the top, rebuilt the carburetors, (all the usual British stuff) and probably other things, but generally not much really for owning a 56 year old car for the past 14 years. It has extremely "good bones." It has always been a California car, sold originally by E.F. Sweeney British Cars in San Rafael, CA. We bought it out of the original owner’s garage in Eureka California. All panels and paint look to be original. There is minor pitting on some chrome, but nothing real bad (see pictures). There is absolutely no rust. We had all the original selling documents but they got tossed out during one year’s spring cleaning. I still have an older California registration from the previous owner. Feel free to contact me with any questions. |

Jaguar F-Type Coupe patent images exposed, 4-cyl coming?
Fri, 03 May 2013Last year, Jaguar told us that "if you get a convertible right, it's easy to do a coupe" in reference to a coupe version of the Jaguar F-Type, and now we might be seeing our first unofficial look at a hardtop version of the convertible. The German publication Auto Motor und Sport has dug up what it is reporting to be patent images filed by Jaguar showing the lines of the new coupe.
If these are actually patent drawings, they have definitely been enhanced with color and shadowing compared to what we usually see from OEM patent filings. We wouldn't be surprised if they are just altered images of Jaguar's C-X16 Concept, but either way, it's going to be a sharp car. On top of the new coupe, the article also says that the F-Type could be getting the same 240-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is currently used in the Jaguar XF, as well as the Land Rover LR2 and Range Rover Evoque.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
