1954 Jaguar Xk140mc Roadster With Overdrive on 2040-cars
Hanover, Massachusetts, United States
Unrestored XK140 roadsters are getting very hard to find these days. This car came from California and has the MC engine with the bigger valve and a 4 speed manual gearbox with overdrive. You couldn't get it any better that this. The original head has gone missing, the one on the block now is from an XK120SE (special equipment). The frame on the car is in very good condition and there is not rust. The car is 90-95% complete. The radiator, the whole windshield, the spare tire and tools are all missing. There are probably some small bits missing as well. The previous owner started a restoration on the car and put in new floors, new inner sills, new tonneau cover over the gearbox and there is additional other new sheet metal that comes with the car and is in the boot. I also have a box with some misc. pieces and parts. For instance the pedal assembly, the linkage for the throttle, some brake parts and what ever else. That was the list of the good things. The body needs to be completely done. The doors, the boot lid and the bonnet are all in good shape. The rest of the body will really need to be gone through. I'll ship worldwide and can assist with obtaining a shipping company if needed. Transport to the New Jersey docks is $400. The car rolls and steers and I have a clear California title in hand. If you have any questions email or call Ray at 001-617-838-3728.

Petrolicious profiles one of the final Jaguar E-Types
Wed, 10 Apr 2013There's no question that David Paddison has got a very lovely 1974 Jaguar E-Type convertible. The rubber bumpers of this late E-Type may distract ever so slightly from the purity of the lines, but that doesn't mean we're still not completely jealous of the latest Petrolicious subject car.
As usual, the team of vintage car videographers has done a fine job capturing a small moment of gear-headness with this latest installment - The Last of the Breed. We do wonder why we don't get to hear a little bit more of that famed Jaguar V12 rumble, however. There's just a whiff of engine and exhaust sound in the middle of the video, while the rest of the piece sounds like it was scored by Amy Grant's rhythm guitarist. See for yourself, below.
Jaguar takes bite out of Mercedes' Magic Body Control chicken ad
Tue, 17 Dec 2013We were quite impressed by Mercedes-Benz when it aired its Magic Body Control commercial, starring a group suitably funky chickens demonstrating their ability to jive to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Now, Jaguar has taken the opportunity to poke some fun at its German rival, releasing its own take on the Magic Body Control spot, and um, there's a big cat involved.
You'll really want to take a look at this video, which is just another sign that in terms of clever ads, Jaguar is doing quite well. We aren't sure if "Jaguar vs. Chicken" will make it onto TV any time soon, but it's still fun to see the British brand take the mickey out of Mercedes - it's rare to see automakers go after each other so bluntly in their marketing efforts. Scroll down to watch the video (we've also included a bonus video, Jag's recent "Cat In A Box" spot).
Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index
Sun, 06 Jul 2014A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.
