Jaguar 1951 Xk120 Open Two Seater on 2040-cars
Hanover, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a true upper state New York fully matching number XK120 barn find. It was sitting in a barn on jack stands for 35 years. It is a two owner vehicle, the most recent owner passed away and the family sold the car. The engine turns freely and you can see in the photos it is an early edition car with the smooth cam covers, the chrome side lights on the top of the fenders and there are quite a few more small details indicating the early edition features. The body on the car is in excellent shape, the frame is super dry. When we received the car in the body was stripped of all paint, so a brown primer is on the car to protect the open metal. This XK120 originally was Sherwood Green, with a green interior. There are very few parts missing. What we can see missing is the rear skirts, the cigarette lighter, the jack, the tools, the spare wheel, the emblem that sits on the dash in front of the passenger seat and the side curtains. If you don't see something in the photos it is missing. In the photos you will notice two boxes of miscellaneous pieces that come with the car. Two of the tires are the original Dunlops. This could be an original 10,000 mile car as indicated on the odometer. The buyer of this car will be very impressed with everything on this XK120. Obviously the car will need to be restored. It rolls, steers and goes into gear so it can be transported easily. We ship worldwide. Transport to the port in New Jersey is $400.00. We can assist a buyer with locating a shipper. Additional photos available. If you have any questions please email or call Ray at 001-617-838-3728 or Dan at 001-781-630-0185.

Jay Leno's Garage features funnyman's 1963 Jaguar E-Type
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Jay Leno looks inward on this episode of his eponymous garage, checking out a 1963 Jaguar XKE that he bought earlier this year. It is an example of his favorite kind of car, that being original and unrestored. He bought the E-Type from its first owner, a woman who purchased it new, held on to it for 50 years and took excellent care of it. Having never been in an accident, Leno says even the paint is 85- to 90-percent original.
In the video, the XKE sits in front of two heavily modded XK120s and another '63 XKE, but Leno said all he's done - and all he plans to do - is clean it up and put on a modern set of wire wheels for safety.
He's not on any junket and there are no guests, it's just a guy talking about an object dear to his heart. If you need a refresher on the excellent genes of the new F-Type, check out the video below.
Jaguar envisions future without V8 engines
Wed, 21 Aug 2013With tighter emissions and fuel economy regulations looming, Jaguar may have to do more than make a small, fuel-efficient hatchback to lower its model range's consumption figures - it also might give up its venerable V8 power, Drive reports. But not anytime soon, says Steven de Ploey, Jaguar's product and marketing director, who recognizes that the V8 can be replaced only by something that offers the same, or better, performance. But he has a word of caution: "We are not wedded to V8s."
In the meantime, de Ploey says there are other ways to reduce emissions. One of the first steps Jaguar could take is to shift away from the use of superchargers, which aren't as good as turbochargers at maintaining efficiency and making power. But he adds that supercharging still is "at the heart of Jaguar's performance proposition," and that the company has addressed the current downsizing trend by "replacing our naturally aspirated V8 with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6."
Consider one of de Ploey's comments on the cancelled C-X75 supercar (pictured) for some clue about Jaguar's future: "Some of the stuff we have already exploited to the extreme in the C-X75 is the kind of thinking for us and is an essential test bed to see how we could evolve from today to something that is sustainable in the future."
Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
