This car is in impeccable conditions and was acquired from the original owner by the 2nd owner in 2013. The car was always stored in a heated storage garage in Salt Lake City, Utah. The original owner put approximately 80,000 miles on the car before having a ground up restoration done to the car by two well known restoration shops. The mechanicals were done by Jaguar Expert Walt Osborn of Vintage Jag Works presently in Blackfoot, Idaho and formerly of Salt Lake City. The cinnamon tan interior is perfect, but what was done to it is unknown, however the leather seats are original but in perfect condition, body & paint work was done by Troy Lundquist of Troy Lundquist Restorations, Sandy, Utah who has done work for many prominent people in Utah including John Huntsman.

Per The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate included, it was originally Sable Brown and was changed to British Racing Green when it was restored. It was then driven approximately 4,000 miles before acquired by the 2nd owner who has driven it approximately 500 miles.

As the car hadn't been driven for approximately 6 months the 2nd owner had the following work done in 2013: Radiator re-cored, new hoses installed, water pump replaced, speedometer rebuilt by Nisonger Instruments of NY, Carbs needles and seats installed to stop gas leaks, new battery terminals and hold down frame was installed. Original radio was repaired to accommodate an iPod with connector as parts were not able to be located for a full radio repair. The 4.2 Liter six cylinder engine was rebuilt and the pollution equipment removed and Triple SU side draft carburetors installed but it is unknown if they were on the car originally. It has a 4 speed synchromesh transmission that operates perfectly and was likely rebuilt during restoration. Included with the car are, a California interior car cover, 2 new clamp on side mirrors, the original owner’s manual, the original jack and case in perfect condition, lead hammer & knock off ring.

All numbers were confirmed as matching per the JDHT Certificate & by a Jaguar expert as confirmed by his pictures that are available. The car drives perfectly even at high speeds. The tires although appear to be almost new and probably only have less than 5,000 miles on them are 10+ years old which is approximately when the restorations were completed. The five tires are mounted on 5 new stainless and chrome wire wheels and the spare has never been on the ground. The car was appraised by Pinnacle Car Appraisers in 2013 for over $70,000.

It Won a Jaguar class award in August 2014 (3rd Place) at the Classic Sports Card Show in Park City, UT against stiff competition of many classic Jaguars from the Wasatch Mountain Jaguar Register, the Utah Chapter of the JCNA. 1st Place went to an off frame restored 1957 XK 140 DHC and 2nd Place went to an XKE OTS.

Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ

Fri, 23 May 2014

Roadkill hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger have broken up - kinda - to spin off a new show, Hot Rod Garage, that mostly gives up the driveway and parking lot wrench work for the confines of a garage. We say kinda because while Finnegan is the primary host for Hot Rod Garage, Freiburger plays guest host and the new show starts off by wrenching on the Roadkill Draguar project car.
What's the Draguar? It's a 1974 Jaguar XJ12 that's about to be force-fed a 383-cubic-inch Chevrolet long-block engine with tidbits like Holley carbs, a Weiand 6-71 roots blower and a "custom WillBlow transmission," all good for about 700 horsepower. After that Finnegan gets into swapping parts on his wife's El Camino and some TIG welding lessons.
You can check out the first episode below. And in case you're worried, no, Roadkill isn't going away.

This Jaguar XK120 costs $20,000, but there's a catch

Fri, Feb 26 2016

You read that correctly. This Jaguar XK120 costs $20,000. Sounds like a steal, right? There's a catch. It's 1:5 scale. But if you're looking for perhaps the most bespoke riff on a Power Wheels ever, this could be your new toy. Offered by gift-specialist Hammacher Schlemmer, this diminutive Jag is faithful to the original with its swoopy appearance fronted by a narrow, vertical grille. There's a bit of a power drop, as this XK comes with a 110-cc four-stroke engine that can top out at 38 miles per hour. The 1949 model came with a 3,442-cc six-cylinder that made as much as 180 hp from the factory. This toy car has an aluminum hull, steel box chassis, wishbone suspension, and gas shocks, according to the listing. It rolls on 10-inch aluminum wheels and has hydraulic brakes with Brembo, yes Brembo, discs. The inside has padded leather and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The car shown is silver – but Hammacher Schlemmer notes that it's available in British Racing Green Â– or any color you like. Obviously you're not hurting for cash if you have 20 grand to drop on a toy, but it is economical compared to real-life 1949 XK120. The car collecting and insurance gurus at Hagerty say an original is worth $475,000 in concours condition. Hagerty notes this Jag is significant for its design that channels the prewar BMW 328. The starting price was $3,940 in the United States when it was new. Related Video:

Newest Spectre trailer shows DB10, car chases, awesomeness

Wed, Jul 22 2015

It's not due in theaters until November and it's not like we've detected any weaknesses yet, but here we are with another trailer for the upcoming James Bond film, Spectre. That is not a complaint, because it looks like it's going to be, as one YouTuber said, "Spectretacular!" We digress. This time we get a little more of the Aston Martin DB10, including the top line for the spec sheet: Q says it will do 0-60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds. Putting on the hat that lets us sincerely debate totally fictitious facts in a totally fictitious universe, we don't think that's fast enough to stay away from the villain's Jaguar C-X75, but it's not like Bond needs to when he's got flamethrowers. So there. You 'll find the latest bout of awesome in the clip above, and look for all the throwback cues. Christoph Waltz dresses like one Ernst Stavro Blofeld and uses the same interior decorator. Bad guy Dave Bautista in a three-piece suit is remarkably reminiscent of Oddjob, and there are various nods to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Enjoy.
