You are bidding on a one owner 1952 Jaguar XK 120.  I am listing this for a friend who's father just passed away at age 98.  I am sorry that the photos of the car are not better.  It is in a storage shed and the lighting was poor.  We believe that ever part is there to due a full restoration.  As you can see in the photos each box is labeled.  He saved the leather so new pieces could be cut.  The windshield is there but it is cracked. You can use it as a pattern.  Below is the description that the son in law wrote up.

This XK 120 was bought new 8/15/1952 by its current owner and is original with all matching numbers and the original title.  The car was driven regularly until the early 1970's when it was placed in covered storage awaiting restoration.  In the mid-1980's the owner, a retired engineer at Fairchild Aircraft Manufactures, began restoration.  The goal of the restoration was to return the car to driving condition and resume regular use.

The car was disassembled and the work on the mechanicals was undertaken.  The engine and transmission were overhauled and returned to full working condition.  The brake and  suspension were overhauled.  All body rust was repaired and the door sills on both sides were replaced.  The drivetrain was reinstalled in the body.  At that point, in the early 1990's, work was halted due to various personal reasons and the car was returned to covered storage where it has remained until now.  The owner has recently died at age 98 and the car is being offered for sale by his estate.

The car is believed to be 100% complete, and except for the replaced sills, is completely original.  The body is in excellent condition with most of the original paint mostly intact.  While still being driven, the car suffered a minor fender bender and there is damage to the left front fender and front valance.  The convertible roof framing is complete, but the canvas has rotted away.  The car has the original steel wire wheels but the tires are rotted.  The original wooden floor boards are available, along with a new replacement made from epoxy coated marine plywood.  A number of reference materials are also available, including shop manuals.

There is also a manual that the owner made up that has drawings of many of the parts on the car and how they are installed.  From my observation the floor of the trunk was replaced.  I do not know if the car will roll. I would suggest bring wheels with tires and maybe it will roll without much problem.

This car is sold as is, where is. We will help get it out of the storage shed and across the lawn to the transport truck. A good neighbor and friend has had this in their shed for a quarter century.  And we want to make sure their lawn is not damaged when the car is removed.
The car is located in Hagerstown Md.  If you are very serious and want to make a offer before the auction ends and need to see the car we can arrange that. Otherwise the car is not available for viewing.
 $500 through PayPal within 24 hours of end of auction. Balance due within 5 days of end of auction. PayPal, Bank check or cash. We would like the car picked up within 7 days after auction ends.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

Are you the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R-S?

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

It's no secret that Jaguar is working on a fixed-roof version of the F-Type roadster, but now it looks like it's also developing a high-performance model for said coupe. Captured sharpening its claws at the Nürburgring, this F-Type Coupe prototype could very well be an R-S or even a more track-ready R-S GT variant.
Our biggest clue suggesting the latter are its massive brake rotors with bright-yellow calipers - similar pieces are also found on the recently introduced XKR-S GT. This would make sense, since a report in May said that Jaguar is looking to create a full line of R-S GT models in a similar fashion as the Mercedes-Benz AMG Black Series. Missing from this prototype, though, are the telltale aero add-ons we seen on the XKR-S GT - go-faster bits like the latter's front fascia winglets and rear wing, though this model is obviously still being developed. Regardless of what this new grippier, quicker kitty is called, we say "Yes, please."

Jaguar F-Type SVR and Range Rover Evoque Convertibles go rainbow for Pride

Sat, Jun 29 2019

BMW isn't the only automobile company getting involved in Pride Week, as Jaguar Land Rover announced it also has cars that will participate. And yes, they're convertibles with rainbow stripes. On Sunday, June 30, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will participate in the NYC Pride March with several themed vehicles and employees walking next to them. JLR chose two of its most intriguing vehicles in the Jaguar F-Type SVR convertible and the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. Jaguar unveiled two different F-Type SVRs, one in a gorgeous blue and the other in white. Both cars have the same detailing, though, including rainbow stripes on the the sides, rear bumpers, and hoods. The F-Types also have rainbow stripes across the tops of their windshields, and "JAG YOU ARE" decals across the windshields and rear bumpers. The silver Evoque is only slightly different. It, too, has rainbow stripes across its doors, rear bumper, and windshield. Rather than a "JAG YOU ARE" decal, however, "EVOQUE" is spread across the front bumper in rainbow lettering. You can check out these unique models at the Pride parade in NYC.
