I am pleased to offer a wonderful and unique opportunity to own a rare and exceptional Jaguar XK120 OTS roadster. In mint and spectacular condition with numerous engine and performance mods making it by far one of the finest running and driving 120s available. The car was sold new in September 1953 by Charles Hornburg of Beverly Hills California to Mr. Karl Steil of Los Angeles where it has been almost it's entire life. The most recent owner was celebrity actor/ professional race driver and Star of ER television show.  During his ownership the car was simpathetically restored with complete mechanical rebuild and new PPG paint over the original stripped down in the original color Battleship Grey.  The red and creme Connolly Leather remains in excellent condition. The engine and mechanical upgrades where completed by Winning Makes in Santa Barbara Cailfornia. The engine which is the original and has received a complete overhaul to high performance specs with improved and uprated crankshaft, special cam shafts, pistons, rods etc. The carbs where also upgraded to the larger 2 inch SUs. Aluminum radiatior and Spal electric fan maintain the running temp. The car is smooth, fast, and reliable. Truly a joy to drive. It retains the original Moss gearbox and it works well and adds the whine typical of these 4 speed gearboxes.  Jaguar front disc brakes from a MK 10 increase the stopping ability over the original drums . Suspension and all mechanical components have beed redone to very high standards. The car is perfect for a fast vintage rally as this Jaguar will hang with the best and it drives and handles superbly. Recent expenditures of over $120,000 ( have receipts) were spent to assure this quality and drivability.  All Numbers Match and the History can't get better. Jaguar Heritage Document. All tools and equipt. such and tire pump grease gun jack etc.  Original 16 Dunlop wires are show condition as are the newer Verdenstein tires.  Period correct leather hood strap , Motolita 4 spoke steering wheel and front badge bar are examples of some of the wonderful details. A new stainless exhaust system sounds better than it looks along with Big Bore stainless steel headers. Original Owners manual and booklets from the originating dealer. I can be reached for serious questions at 805.895.1226 Martin. Jaguar purists please refrain from commenting on correctness of the car as we are aware of the changes made. This is not a restored car but a pristine immaculately maintained original.  photo IMG_3838_zps8f7823b9.jpg  photo IMG_3833_zps9dc9f8ed.jpg  photo IMG_3831_zpsf89341c8.jpg  photo IMG_3829_zps85b35648.jpg  photo IMG_3828_zps3db18d68.jpg  photo IMG_3827_zps39d20015.jpg  photo IMG_3826_zps4242801b.jpg  photo IMG_3824_zps3bb8a357.jpg  photo IMG_3823_zpsb65f14e5.jpg  photo IMG_3822_zps9fdf2055.jpg  photo IMG_3820_zps1aa0fb2d.jpg  photo IMG_3840_zps2b5ad3ea.jpg  photo IMG_3844_zpsf1612085.jpg  photo IMG_3851_zps5dbc2c28.jpg  photo IMG_2856_zps5d8ae5b3.jpg  photo IMG_3026_zps2a1ad85b.jpg  photo IMG_3025_zpsa613bb6c.jpg  photo IMG_3024_zpsc873fd0a.jpg photo IMG_3023_zps0860f9de.jpg  photo IMG_3034_zps6f1cf34d.jpg  photo IMG_3035_zps45335439.jpg  photo IMG_3037_zps3b6ed91b.jpg  photo IMG_3042_zps7cd27a94.jpg  photo IMG_3043_zpse6c8381f.jpg  photo IMG_3044_zps1042f522.jpg  photo IMG_3045_zpsf5b5c787.jpg  photo IMG_3046_zpsb5b67699.jpg  photo IMG_3049_zps63e30a90.jpg  photo IMG_2855_zps103cc15a.jpg  photo IMG_3870_zpsfc714856.jpg  photo 6a00e54fb7301c88340105361868ea970b-800wi_zps91c1cc03.jpg  photo IMG_3816_zps664edd90.jpg  photo PDempsey062908_18_X17_zpsfc9a4353.jpg  photo IMG_0001_zps1c72b99f.jpg

Watch the trailer for Jaguar's short film staring the F-Type and Damian Lewis

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Jaguar continues to think well outside of the box when it comes to marketing it's new F-Type, now furthering plans for a short film which highlights the sexy roadster. Desire, featuring Damian Lewis (star of the hit series Homeland), Jordi Mollà (unforgettable in Bad Boys II) and Shannyn Sossamon (that girl you had a crush on for like a month in 2002 after you rented A Knight's Tale), Jaguar is clearly pulling out all the stops for this one. Well, nearly all the stops anyway ­- the "Ridley Scott Associates" billing isn't quite the same has having the man himself, if we're splitting hairs.
The short video below is still just a trailer for Desire - the full film will make its debut sometime in April, we're told. The sketched out plotlines tell us that Lewis' character Clark, "...delivers cars for a living, running into trouble after a chance encounter with a mysterious, young woman (Sossamon) in the middle of a lawless desert." The car looks good, at any rate.
Call us crazy, but the Desire trailer feels an awful lot like a spoof on the cool-but-overly-serious short films that BMW has done in this vein, already. Maybe we're just being cynical? Tell us what you think in comments after watching the clip.

Jaguar Land Rover considering Mexican plant

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been expanding its production out of the UK and into overseas markets, and according to the latest word from Bloomberg, the British automaker is considering spending more than half a billion dollars to build a new assembly plant somewhere in Mexico. Since the Range Rover Sport and Evoque are two of the company's top sellers in the US, those would reportedly be the most likely to be manufactured at the Mexican plant, although Jaguars could follow as well. The automaker was previously said to be leaning towards a location in the Southern US, and while it could conceivably proceed with plans for both, it would be more likely to go with one or the other. State and local authorities below the Mason-Dixon line have been soliciting the business with various incentives, but lower labor costs South of the Border could prove more attractive to JLR and its parent company Tata. It wouldn't be the first, after all. Over the past month alone, General Motors committed to building the next Chevy Cruze in Mexico, Toyota did the same with the Corolla, Hyundai was reported to be considering a similar step, and Ford announced two new plants in the country amounting to a $2.5-billion investment. Luxury automakers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes have also been delving into Mexican production as well, blazing a path that JLR could potentially follow. The British automaker recently opened a plant in China and another in Brazil, while investing in additional facilities in the UK as well.
