1955 Jaguar XK140 MC Roadster OTS

Thanks for viewing this stunning 1955 Jaguar XK140MC Roadster. This is a unique opportunity to own a very unusual example of what many consider to be one of the finest British Sports Cars. This numbers-matching beauty underwent a complete restoration approximately 3 years ago. 

First impressions, The first things you'll notice are the brightness of the paint, the wonderful finish on the chrome and perfect condition of the interior. Then once you get past the looks, you start her up and shift into first. The shifting is precise, as a an XK should be. The motor obtains a proper idle speed quickly, then you're ready to drive. This car has excellent shifting, acceleration and brakes. There is no problem with engine temperature and no strange or problematic noises.

Exterior, The car is EXCEPTIONAL all the way around. The body lines and panel-fit are all very straight. The paint, glass, metalwork, rubber and top are all EXCEPTIONAL. This car is finished to a very high quality. The only blemishes that I could find upon thorough inspection of the car are several very small marks that were made in the paint, where the top must have rested on the body of the car for the years that the car was stored indoors. They look like a couple of small fingerprints, one on each side of the car and a very small line on the top of the boot area. I believe that these can be removed with a wet-sander, but didn't want to disturb the integrity of how the car was found.

Interior, Also EXCEPTIONAL. The interior was refitted at the time of restoration and shows very little to no wear.  The seats, carpet, dash and area behind the seats are all very very nice. The only blemish that I've found in the interior is a hairline crack on one of the spokes of the steering wheel.

Mechanics, EXCELLENT. This car was also mechanically restored to a very high standard, but then parked in a collection for a long time. It hadn't been driven much since restoration. I brought the car straight from it's storage location to my very well-qualified English mechanic, who gently eased it back to life. After it was started, he tested and tested until he discovered and repaired all faults, to make it a really PERFECT showcar and ready to be driven anywhere. Work included new front and rear brake cylinders, new master cylinder, new head gasket, rebuilt original radiator, new hoses, new gaskets, resurfaced head and much more.

This car has a clean and clear title, which I have in-house.Please send any questions you have before you hit the buy it now and I'll try to get back with you quickly. I don't want to hear any excuses after (I leave negative on you if so). If you hit buy it now I'll be out of town till the July 26th so if you buy it before you will have to wait till Aug 5th to pick it up.

Watch thieves dressed like ninjas hit dealership, steal $583,000 worth of Land Rovers

Fri, Feb 23 2024

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A group of teenagers believed to be from the Chicago area broke into a luxury car dealership in Wisconsin and drove off with nine vehicles worth more than a half-million dollars, police said. Sunday's heist at a Jaguar-Land Rover dealership in Waukesha was captured on surveillance camera footage showing nine masked suspects filing into the dealership before each drives off in a car in the city about 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) west of Milwaukee. The video also shows one car being backed up and smashed through an overhead service door. Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann said the suspects broke into the dealership about 6 a.m. Sunday, found where its car keys were stored and then activated those key fobs to find the cars they stole. “Nine subjects went out and throughout there looking for keys. One person finds where the keys were hidden and then starts to disseminate those to his friends,” Baumann told WISN-TV. The nine vehicles are valued at more than $583,000, he said. One suspect, a 17-year-old Chicago boy, was arrested Sunday in the southern Wisconsin community of Pleasant Prairie after the stolen vehicle he was driving crashed along Interstate 94 during a police pursuit. He was being held at the Waukesha County Jail on a $50,000 bond and faces burglary, theft and criminal damage to property charges, Baumann said. Police said Sunday that the suspects are believed to be “an organized crime group of teenagers from the Chicago area.” Baumann said Friday that all or most of the teen suspects are known to members of a police task force in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and police in that two-state region were still searching Friday for the eight other suspects. Six of the nine stolen vehicles have been recovered — four in Chicago, one in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, and one in Wisconsin after the highway crash that led to the 17-year-old's arrest, he said.

Not just 'our logo on a sail': Automakers gain technology from America's Cup

Wed, Jun 28 2017

HAMILTON, Bermuda - From water taxis that "fly" on hydrofoils to aircraft wings and cutting-edge car steering wheels, the America's Cup has produced technology with potential far beyond its "foiling" catamarans. With their focus on carbon fiber and aerodynamics, the teams that fought for the America's Cup attracted partners including planemaker Airbus and automotive groups BMW and Land Rover, who were keen to learn from them. One area where this is likely to have an impact is in harnessing "foiling" technology, where the America's Cup boats "fly" above the water on foils, cutting water resistance. "Foiling in small electric boats will most likely appear on rivers in major cities. We are just at the beginning of the foiling adventure," Pierre Marie Belleau, head of Airbus Business Development, who managed its partnership with Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA, told Reuters. The space-age catamarans used in the 35th America's Cup, which ended in victory for Emirates Team New Zealand this week, can sail at maximum speeds of 50 knots (57 mph) and have more in common with flying than sailing."CARBON FIBER RELATIONSHIP" For Jaguar Land Rover, which sponsored British sailor Ben Ainslie's attempt to win the cup, the relationship is a strategic one with a focus on technology and innovation. "We don't just get our logo onto a sail," Mark Cameron, JLR's Experiential Marketing Director, said by telephone, adding that the carmaker would be providing more designers to help Land Rover BAR with technology for their next campaign. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly. It's all changing," Land Rover produced a special steering wheel for Ainslie to use in the America's Cup, with in-built gear shift paddles that allowed him to adjust the catamaran's "flight" levels. The relationship is similar between BMW and Oracle Team USA, with the German automaker focused on areas including the electronics in the wheel used by skipper Jimmy Spithill, the development of carbon fiber used to make the boat and its components, and the aerodynamic testing. "We like to think of ourselves more as a partner than a sponsor. We have a very strong carbon fiber relationship," Ian Robertson, who is the BMW management board member responsible for sales and brand, told Reuters between races. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly.

On Location in Montenegro with Jaguar

Fri, May 6 2016

I didn't know much about Montenegro until just a few weeks ago, when Jaguar invited Autoblog to the country to test out the 2017 F-Pace. In case you missed our write-up, the vehicle is excellent. So, it turns out, is Montenegro. According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, "It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the southwest and is bordered by Croatia to the west, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the northwest, Serbia to the northeast, and Albania to the southeast." That's a dry way of saying that Montenegro is situated in a beautiful part of Europe, with mountains galore, glorious coastlines, and spectacular rocky cliffs that plummet into the Adriatic Sea. Getting to Montenegro is a bit difficult. There are two airports in the country, neither of which is particularly large or easily accessible. Driving can be a challenge, too; since most of the country is mountainous, there are exactly zero highways within its boundaries. There are, however, lots of winding two-lane roads with picturesque views and a ferry system to shuttle vehicles across some of the larger bodies of water. Montenegro is a great place to experience a vehicle like the Jaguar F-Pace, which offers great driving dynamics across a wide variety of road surfaces. And as you'll see in the video above, surfaces vary widely in Montenegro. If you want learn more about the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, stick around for the second video in the playlist.
