Age and failing health forces me to part with my beautiful 1956 Jaguar XK 140 Drop Head Coupe Convertible.  I hate to see her go but the time has come.  I have owned her since 1985 and did much of the restoration myself as well as other craftsmen for specialized work that I could not do.  I do not claim this to be a 100 point car as there are some issues that could be given attention but it is an awesome car that people love and it turns heads everywhere we go.  I have won several trophies and awards from various car shows.  When I brought her home she was missing the engine and transmission. Being on a budget and being mostly interested in the aesthetic  beauty of the car I chose to install a Chevy engine and TH 350 automatic transmission. There are no modifications to the frame other than a few extra holes where the motor mounts are bolted.  Also, a stainless steel steering shaft and U joints were coupled to the original rack and pinion steering.  There were cooling problems with the V8, even with the new heavy duty 4 row radiator and electric fan, so after several years I removed it and installed a rebuilt 1992 GM 4.3 liter V6 engine.  The 4 barrel carbureted V6 has proven to be the most fantastic engine for both torque and power I have seen!  It actually out performs the old V8.  I am certain it would out perform a stock inline 6 Jaguar engine up to a point.  We’re not talking running LeMans here folks! And it runs COOL at or below normal operating temperature on the hottest Colorado day!  Fuel is supplied from the new aluminum alloy gas tank to the engine by a new gerotor electric fuel pump. The new custom exhaust system is equipped with dual turbo mufflers which sounds remarkably like a stock Jaguar inline 6.  After I made her run I needed to make her stop.  The original Jaguar drum brakes just didn’t cut it.  So I bought and converted to a rebuilt Dunlop 4 wheel disc brake set up from a Jaguar MK IX Saloon car.  No more want for braking power here!  This car STOPS!  The interior is all done in oxblood Naugahyde upholstery with color matching carpet including the jump seat space behind the main seats. Behind the boot (trunk) access door I have installed a concealed  GM Delco AM FM push button radio with dual Jensen speakers.  Every piece of interior wood was hand made from top grade solid black walnut except for the original burly walnut dash panel which is in beautiful condition.  All of the instrumentation is original Smiths except for the temp gage which I had custom made for the V8 engine, and the tach is a Sun electric unit fitted nicely in the proper location.  100% of the wiring has been replaced and power is supplied by an Optima dry type 12 volt negative ground battery.  All of the chrome was re-plated and the tan cloth drop top was installed by Auto Weave of Denver which is a top of the line shop. This top has never been WET! This car has the rare and unusual disc wheels with small hubcaps fitted with Coker wide whitewall tires.  I think the disc wheels are much more beautiful than spoke wheels and present a ‘50's era fashion statement! They also set this car apart from the usual spoke wheeled Jaguars.  There are only two issues that I can think of that could use some attention, and then only if you want to but are really not needed.  The paint has a few fish-eye flaws and the left hand door doesn’t fit as nicely as the right hand door. Otherwise I can’t think of anything else to mention.  This car is not for the Jaguar purest, but is a great car to drive, show, and have fun with at about half the price of a pure original Jag. It would be very easy to install an original engine and transmission if someone wanted to do that.  If you have questions please ask.  Inspections welcome by appointment. No test drives but I’ll take you for a demo drive. No ‘lookie-loos’ or dreamers. No scammers, I know them all.  Only serious buyers PLEASE!

Jaguar may kill supercharged V6 to make way for inline-six

Mon, Apr 23 2018

This could be the last year to score a Jaguar with the carmaker's 3.0-liter supercharged V6. Autocar reports that Jaguar deep-sixed the the XE S and XF S in the UK due to poor sales and difficulty coping with European emissions regulation changes taking place this year. The mag expects the XJ and F-Pace to lose the V6, too, but suspects the F-Type might retain the engine. It's possible, however, the bent-six with up to 380 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque might finally be retiring for a reason reported on for at least three years: To make way for a 3.0-liter inline-six from the Ingenium line of motors. In 2015, Motor Trend noted the supercharged V6 would die at the end of 2016, succeeded by a "more powerful Ingenium inline-six," likely to be turbocharged. One year later, Car laid out a new family of Ingenium inline-sixes in gasoline and diesel versions. There would be three gas options with 300, 400, and 500 horsepower, plus three diesels with 275, 335, and 400 hp and herds of torque. In Car's report, the engines were meant to be here in 2017. This could be the year it finally happens. A Jaguar spokesman in the UK told Autocar that an uptake of less than 2 percent on the S models, "Coupled with impending emissions regulation changes, it makes sense to remove these variants from sale in the UK." When Jalopnik asked Jaguar U.S. about availability here — we aren't a party to the imminent European emissions changes — the carmaker would only say that the engine remains available in the current XE, XF, XJ, F-Type and F-Pace. No matter the timeline, Jaguar would want a six-cylinder to fill the gap from the 296-hp Ingenium 2.0-liter four-cylinder to the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that starts at 470 hp. Jaguar expanded an area of its Wolverhampton, UK, engine factory to build the scalable Ingenium line. An inline-six would not only reconnect with Jaguar's past — and the firm's long-hooded cars remain ready to swallow them — the straight-six is lighter, has fewer moving parts, and emits less pollution than the supercharged V6. It is also compatible with front-, rear- and all-wheel drive, longitudinal and transverse mounting, and hybrid applications, so expect to see the motor migrate to the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Land Rover Discovery.

Jaguar XF gets performance-look R-Sport trim

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

If you're looking for all the style of a sports sedan but without the added expense of springing for a full-on performance model (and keeping it fed with fuel and fresh tires), most European automakers will gladly hook you up with an all-show, no-go package. BMW has its M-Sport aero kits, Audi its S-Line, and Mercedes its AMG Sport packs. And now Jaguar is getting in on the action with the launch of the new R-Sport line.
Set to be introduced on the XF at the Geneva Motor Show, the R-Sport trim at least some of the flash of the XFR or XFR-S but with a more economical engine and a relatively accessible price of entry. (This is, after all, still a Jag.) The XF R-Sport is distinguished by a sportier front bumper, side sills, rear spoiler, 17-inch wheels and unique badging to set it apart from any "ordinary" Jaguar XF. The interior is upgraded as well, and there's an optional black styling pack to take things even further.
Jaguar is offering the XF R-Sport in either sedan or wagon form with the 2.2-liter turbodiesel producing 161 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, fitted with a spot-start system to make it a far more frugal option than the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 in the real deal. Although this version won't be coming to US as you see it here, Jaguar tells Autoblog it's always possible it'll produce a similar aesthetic treatment for the North American market - just don't count on such models arriving under diesel motivation. We'll take a closer look at them in Geneva next week, but for now, you can check out the gallery and press release below for an idea of what to expect.

Jaguar's XFR-S Sportbrake looks to be one hot kinschlepper

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, which is too cool for North American sale (the Sportbrake, not the XFR-S sedan, which we're getting soon). Like the XFR-S four-door, it has a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 pumping out around 550 horsepower.
Our spy photographer's x-ray vision is saying that a ZF eight-speed automatic will be the gearbox of choice for the XFR-S wagon, which fits with the sedan, as well. The Sportbrake also has the usual high-performance touches, with huge air intakes in the front fascia, big wheels wrapped in low-profile tires, a dropped suspension and a rear end that's wearing a diffuser and a pair of meaty, quad exhausts. We're happy to see that the XFR-S Sedan's rear spoiler - or some iteration thereof - isn't here to mangle the Sportbrake's beautiful shape.
Where the this super-fast hauler will debut remains a question. There's virtually zero chance of it arriving at an American auto show (although we do endorse that, and any other decision that brings this wagon to our shores), which likely means it'll be in Europe. The Frankfurt Motor Show and Geneva Motor Show seem like the leading contenders, but we'll just have to wait and see.
