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.

Jaguar gives us our best look yet at the XF Sportbrake wagon

Wed, May 17 2017

Not quite a month after the first official teaser, Jaguar has provided a much clearer look at the new XF Sportbrake. Instead of the overhead shot, we get to see front and sides almost completely unobscured. Almost. The official reveal isn't until June 14, so the car is still covered in camouflage. Since Jaguar will be the vehicle supplier for Wimbledon, and Andy Murray will reveal the car, Jaguar fitted a tennis-ball vinyl wrap. Despite the vinyl wrap, we can still get a pretty clear look at the car. Unsurprisingly, from the B-pillar forward, the XF Sportbrake is identical to its sedan counterpart. From the rear-door back, the roof is obviously extended, and the rear window's rounded corners lead us to believe the previous model's blacked-out D-Pillar has been ditched. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Jaguar also released a video about driving the XF to a remote Scottish tennis court. We don't particularly care about that, but the video does provide some brief glimpses of the Sportbrake's backside. From the looks of it, the taillights are the same between the sedan and the wagon. The rear bumper and exhaust treatment look very similar, too. As previously mentioned, the Sportbrake will be completely revealed on June 14, and the car will be available later this year – and in the US, as a Jaguar representative confirmed to Autoblog. So if you've been eying an F-Pace, maybe wait just a little longer to try out an XF wagon. Related Video:

Jaguar Classic's 3.8-liter engine block costs nearly as much as a new Jetta

Wed, Jun 24 2020

Jaguar is helping collectors restore its vintage models by resuming production of the 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine block it built between 1958 and 1968. Called XK, the straight-six originally powered half a dozen models (including the famous E-Type), and its modern recreation costs nearly as much as a new compact sedan. Wearing part number C22250, the cast-iron block is built to the original's specifications by Jaguar's Classic division, and it comes with a 12-month warranty. Sourcing a used block would likely be markedly cheaper than ordering a new one from the factory, but enthusiasts who value originality above all will appreciate the fact that it comes certificate of authenticity. Customers who send the company proof of vehicle ownership can even retain the serial number from the engine they're pulling out, though an asterisk will identify it as a replacement. Jaguar built the XK engine for several decades, but the 3.8-liter variant only remained in production for 10 years. It powered cars like the surprisingly quick XK 150 roadster, the stately Mark IX and early examples of the E-Type, though its displacement grew to 4.2 liters in 1964. As of this writing, only the 3.8-liter XK is available new. If the E-Type you're painstakingly restoring deserves nothing less than the best, or if you think a 3.8-liter block makes an awesome coffee table, you'll need to send Jaguar a check for GBP14,340 including taxes, a sum that represents approximately $17,800 at the current conversion rate. Enthusiasts will also need to source pistons, connecting rods, a crankshaft and a complete cylinder head, among many other parts, so the cost of a full rebuild will lie well beyond the $20,000 threshold. For context, Volkswagen charges $18,895 for an entry-level Jetta. Related Video:

50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.
