Up for auction is this very nice example of a 1952 XK120 Drop Head Coupe. It has been in Washington State most of it's life. The body on the car is outstanding, I can not find any rust on the car at all. I don't see any signs that the car has been in an accident. The car even has the original sills and shut posts. The frame is in mint condition, which is hard to find on a car this old. A paint job was given to the car about 20-30 years ago, and the paint has held up well. The chrome on the car is very respectable. The soft top is missing, but the soft top frame is intact, so it just needs a new top.. The chrome on the car is very respectable. The interior overall is in very good condition, even the seats are very useable. The gauges are all intact. There were modifications made on the car years ago. Some wood on the dash and doors was taken off and for some reason the windows were taken out as well, and of course have gone missing. The car runs and drives very nicely. It starts right up and you literally could drive this car home. The lights and the horn work correctly. The brakes are right at the top and function as they should. The Moss gearbox shifts smoothly. This XK120 Drop Head Coupe is a lot of car for the money. What a great value for a running and driving XK120, whose top goes down.

Jaguar to finish building six remaining Lightweight E-Types
Thu, 15 May 2014Back in February of 1963, Jaguar set about making a small run of lightweight E-Types. It recrafted the bodywork out of aluminum, shoehorned in a 3.8-liter straight-six with an aluminum block, stripped out the interior, removed the chrome trim and fitted lighter-weight side windows. The result was a 250-pound reduction in curb weight and a commensurate increase in performance, especially evident on the race track. The company originally set about building 18 examples, but only managed 12. The remaining six were allocated chassis numbers, but were never built. That is, until now.
Fifty years since the last of the original 12 lightweight E-Types were completed, Jaguar has announced that it is preparing to resume production and complete the final six examples. The company has assigned its top craftsmen to the job, who will build the half-dozen continuation Lightweights to the same exact specifications as the original dozen. Former sister-company and perennial arch-rival Aston Martin undertook a similar task (or at least authorized Zagato to do so) when it sanctioned four continuation examples of the original DB4 GT Zagato based on original chassis numbers in 1988, and another two based on original body shells and stock DB4 chassis in 1992.
Jaguar has not yet announced pricing and availability for the continuation Lightweights, but the first old-is-new example is set to debut this summer, whereupon Coventry will release further details. You can bet, though, that each one will be snapped up rather quick at just about any price the British automaker cares to put on them.

This classic Jaguar XJ has a 720-hp ungentlemanly secret
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Forget Tawny Kitaen. If you want to make a Jaguar XJ rock, just do what this guy did: stuff a heavily modified and turbocharged General Motors V8 under the hood, and take it to the track.
The video calls this Series 1 XJ a sleeper, but with its open exhaust and obvious turbo whistle, the once-gentlemanly sedan is anything but. The owner says that the engine is GM LQ9 V8 that has been stroked to 402 cubic inches putting out around 720 horsepower with 12 pounds of boost (in standard form, this 6.0-liter V8 was used in the second-gen Cadillac Escalade). Check out the video below to see what that kind of power does for this classic Jaguar in the eighth-mile.
