 European Collectibles is pleased to offer this fully restored and matching numbers 1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster.

This beautifully restored Jaguar XK120 was sold new to a doctor in Michigan who owned it for over forty years.  After his death in 1995, it was sold to a dealer who sold it in 1996 to a gentleman who used it during the summer months for the next ten years.  When, in 2006, a new clutch was necessary (which requires removal of the engine) the decision was made to do a full restoration.  The work was carried out by noted Jaguar specialist, Piscazzi Auto Body of Akron, Ohio.  Mr. Piscazzi is well-known among Jaguar enthusiasts for building some very high scoring JCNA concours cars.  In fact, Mr. Piscazzi embarked on the restoration of this car right after finishing the restoration of his own personal 1952 Jaguar XK120.  Although not originally Jaguar Bronze, a similar shade was chosen for this car.  The original Suede Green interior color was chosen when this interior was replaced by Frank Konkoly of the Upholstery Shop in Akron, Ohio. The top and original side curtains are black, and the toneau cover is Suede Green.

The list of mechanical work performed includes, but is not limited to: rebuilt  - cylinder head rebuilt, - new valves, - rebuilt carburetors, - restored intake manifold, - new clutch, - “custom” heavy duty shifting fork, - new throw out bearing, - new water pump, - new belts and hoses (all), - thermo electric fan, - new brakes and wheel cylinders, - completely rebuilt front end, - new oil seals, etc., etc. Electrical - complete new wiring harness, - rebuilt generator, -rebuilt voltage regulator, - new improved gear reduction starter, - new fuel sending unit, - new batteries, - new coil, - new points, - new condenser, etc., etc. Miscellaneous - new wood floorboards and trunk boards, - five new radial tires and tubes, stainless steel exhaust, rebuilt rear shocks, - new front shocks.  The chrome was plated by Custom Chrome.  Since the restoration, this fine Jaguar has been used sparingly and has always been serviced.  A recent rebuilding of the brake master cylinder has just been completed along with several test drives by the mechanic to ensure proper sorting. 

Please note that although not restored to its original paint color, this Jaguar has all of its factory numbered components in place - engine block, cylinder head, transmission and body.  Receipts and photos from the restoration are also included in the sale.

We welcome bidders from anywhere in the world.  We are happy to arrange shipping on your behalf, but all associated charges are the responsibility of the buyer.  CA residents are required to pay sales tax, license and registration.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
Scroll down to see how it all plays out on video.

Jaguar reportedly prepping fully electric F-Pace

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Tesla might want to take a look over its shoulder because there could be a cat catching its Model X in a few years. Jaguar reportedly has a fully electric vehicle under development that is possibly based on the upcoming F-Pace crossover, and it could be on sale in Europe as soon as 2018. Autocar cites anonymous "well-placed industry sources" as the foundation for the rumor and believes that Jag's future CUV would be the most likely recipient of the new powertrain. The battery electric technology would reportedly be shared with the brand's partners at Land Rover to keep costs down, and a range of around 300 miles would be the target. The F-Pace is reportedly already being prepped with a number of drivetrain options. JLR's latest 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged 3.0-liter V6 are likely choices. However, a hybrid version is rumored, as well. JLR has been taking baby steps towards electrification for quite some time. Perhaps the biggest example was the introduction of the Range Rover Hybrid, but Land Rover has also been rumored to have an EV version of its flagship SUV under development too. The company already tested several electric Defenders, as well. From Jaguar's camp, the automaker recently trademarked the EV-Type name in the US and Europe, and its C-X75 concept had a very interesting hybrid system. The reason for all of this EV development from the Brit brands is to adhere to constricting emissions rules around the world, according to Autocar. The EU is moving to real world testing possibly as soon as 2017, and US regulators continue to work towards cleaning up the cars here, too.

Ian Callum makes the Jaguar C-X75 concept street-legal

Thu, Feb 29 2024

Unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the Jaguar C-X75 could have been one of the British brand's wildest and coolest models. It received the green light for production, got canned, and resurfaced in the 2015 James Bond movie Spectre before disappearing for good. However, not everyone has forgotten it: Callum, the design firm founded by former Jaguar design boss Ian Callum, has made a C-X75 street-legal. Precisely how Callum's customer ended up with a C-X75 remains a mystery. The example modified is one of the four surviving stunt cars built by Williams Advanced Engineering for Spectre, so it might be the one that auction house RM Sotheby's offered at its Abu Dhabi sale in November 2019. The car was estimated to sell for anywhere between $800,000 and $1.2 million; it ended up not selling during the auction. Regardless, Callum was the right person to take on the Herculean task of making an obscure, experimental supercar street-legal, as he led the team that designed the model. His company made hundreds of small but significant changes including replacing the glass, adding a quieter exhaust with catalytic converters, making tuning changes to the supercharged, 5.0-liter V8, and fitting additional switches inside. Interestingly, the stunt cars were built with foam door mirrors. These had to be replaced with real mirrors fitted with turn signal repeaters. The team also took advantage of the tear-down to make visual improvements, such as reducing and aligning the panel gaps. The C-X75 received a new coat of paint, and engineers made changes to the suspension system — they notably adjusted the ride height. It helps that this version of the C-X75 uses an engine already approved for road use; the V8 has powered the Range Rover, among other cars. Callum's street-legal Jaguar C-X75 will make its public debut at the Bicester Heritage Scramble event held in England on April 21, 2024.
