Up for bid is a 1973 Jaguar XJ12 Saloon. NO TITLE....The short wheelbase XJ series was the LAST CAR that Sir William Lyon's designed. These car's would set at his Manor sometimes for close to a year as he added touch's. It would only go into production upon his approval. This is a Short Wheelbase car and was the last year manufactured (168 car's produced for the whole world in '73). If you are a collector of Jag's this is the one you want. When sold new they were touted by Jaguar as "The World's only Mass Produced 12 Cylinder Sedan" and with a top speed "Around a 140 MPH" the "Fastest Full Four-Seater Availible". Built in 1972 and '73 only, it's the last year of the V12 in it's short wheelbase form. A reminder of the V12's performance in America came from Bob Tullius's Group 44 Quaker State 5.3 Litre XKE & XJS that owned SCCA class's in the '70's. The long wheelbase "L" series started in 1974. This car needs a total restoration, the number's matching V12 turns over and it has a totally rebuilt Borg Warner model 12 transmission that has never turned a tire. Car has 76000 original miles. Here's the story on this California car. It's original women owner was having transmission problem's with her V12 Jaguar, she took it to the local California transmission shop that specialized in european car's to have it inspected. The shop concluded that it had a internal transmission problem that would need it's transmission disassembled to further diagnose & repair. She agreed and left her car. It took almost 7 month's to get it fixed. She wasn't happy when she arrived to take the car home. After paying for a very expensive transmission repair she got in her car to go home and it wouldn't start. The transmission shop was unable to start the car also. Needless to say she was not happy. They agreed to pay to tow the car to her house. After spending alot of money on the transmission and unable to have anyone driveway fix it, the car just set and set for year's. The good...the bad...and the ugly. It's a 100 percent complete (good), it has a large percentage of it's original paint remaining (good), it DOESN'T HAVE A TITLE (bad), the interior need's redone (ugly) however leather seat kit's are dirt cheap. There is only one spot of rust on the body (LH rear door bottom corner-smaller than a deck of card's). Here's one of Automobile magazine's 10 most beautiful car's of all time's in it's beyond rare V12 form. Buy the best XJ long wheelbase car and use the part's to restore this car, long wheelbase car's are inexpensive and plentiful (6's or 12's). Canyon County doesn't like my car's so I have to sell them all, here's my rarest car 1st. Remember ...NO TITLE!!!!...Has not ran for a long time.....For Part's or Rebuild only......Car is in Idaho (208)463-6364

Jaguar models could rev with inline-six engines again
Tue, Apr 19 2016Rumors are swirling once again that Jaguar might return an inline-six engine to its lineup. Autocar claims Jaguar Land Rover will use the modular Ingenium engine family to create a 3.0-liter straight-six. The new motor will replace the automaker's current V6. As with the Ingenium 2.0-liter four-cylinder, JLR will likely offer the powerplant in gasoline- and diesel-fueled versions. A rumor in May 2015 also suggested JLR would create an Ingenium-based turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit. According to Autocar, the engine bay in the XE, XF, and F-Pace can already fit the longer engine. The automaker isn't talking, though. "We can't comment on future product one way or another," company spokesperson Nathan Hoyt told Autoblog. Jaguar built much of its performance legacy with straight-six-powered vehicles. While the C-Type and D-Type were winning races with the engine layout, practically every Jaguar production model used them as well. Today, straight-sixes are less common. BMW continues to use them, and Mercedes-Benz reportedly also plans to offer one soon. While Autocar's report is still just a rumor, the move to an inline-six could be advantageous for JLR. For example, using an Ingenium-derived design could simplify manufacturing by allowing the company to build the powerplant in one factory alongside the 2.0-liter version. Returning to a design with such an important heritage for Jaguar would also make life easy for the brand's marketing team because it could link the new engine to past racing glory. Related Video:
2021 Jaguar XF First Drive Review | The final saloon to wear a Leaper?
Thu, May 27 2021The 2021 Jaguar XF has arrived. After a series of pandemic-related delays, Jaguar Land Rover’s latest models have finally started appearing stateside, ready to find their way into the waiting hands of buyers thirsting for options after a year of economic uncertainty. Like just about everything else in the Jaguar lineup, however, the XF was also subjected to a dramatic tidying-up for the 2021 model year that leaves it cheaper, simpler and, sadly, quite a bit less exciting. While JaguarÂ’s crossovers get new powertrain options as part of a simultaneous future-proofing effort, the big upgrade for the 2021 XF is an overhauled cabin. Just about every visible component in the XFÂ’s interior is new for 2021. The 11.4-inch Pivi Pro infotainment system gets a swanky new magnesium frame to go with its complete software overhaul. The new system plays nicely with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and is capable of over-the-air updates. Jaguar has also added a number of standard features including proximity entry, wireless phone charging, active noise cancellation, a surround-view camera system and a 12-speaker Meridian sound system, all for $45,145.00 – about 10 grand cheaper than a base Audi A6, Volvo S90, Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series. ThereÂ’s bad with the good, however. In case you missed it, the XF is now JaguarÂ’s only sedan, and the downsides donÂ’t end there for four-door fans. Jaguar not only got rid of its other sedans, it also pared down the XF to just a handful of variants. Wagon? Nope. Bigger engines? Nuh-uh. In 2020, Jaguar offered 10 different versions of the XF; this year, that number is three: P250 S RWD, P250 SE RWD and P300 R-Dynamic SE AWD. Helpfully, Jaguar names its models for their engine output figures (in PS, not HP, mind you). The P250 variants make 246 American horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque and are offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive; the P300 R-Dynamic SE picks up another 50 horses and 27 lb-ft, along with an extra pair of driven wheels. Both utilize an eight-speed ZF automatic; both get the same size front and rear brakes. And thatÂ’s it. No six- or eight-cylinder variants. If you want more fun, look into an F-Pace. Welcome to 2021. If you were hoping for a redeeming description of a slimmed-down, lightweight XFÂ’s sporty driving dynamics right about now, sorry, youÂ’re not getting that either.
Ecurie Ecosse collection brings in millions
Wed, 04 Dec 2013It's rare to see an entire racing team's collection go up for auction at once, but that's just what happened this past weekend at Bonhams' new headquarters in London, where there Ecurrie Ecosse collection brought in top dollar (or pound, anyway).
The collection, whose consignment we first reported on back in September, included a smattering of Jaguars, other classic racers and an iconic transporter truck, all decked out in the same blue and white livery of the Scottish flag. After reportedly feverish bidding on Sunday, the 1952 Jaguar C-Type sold for £2,900,000 ($4.75m), the '56 short-nose D-Type for another £2,600,000 ($4.26m), and the transporter for a shocking £1,800,000 (nearly $3 million) - all to the same unnamed American collector. A 1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster went to another buyer for a record £707,000 ($1.16m).
With Ringo Star's Facel Vega selling for £337,500 ($550k) and Michael Schumacher's Benetton B194 fetching another £617,500 (just over a million), the auction total skyrocketed to £16,861,630 ($2.75m), which Bonhams described as "a roaring success". Scope out the press release below for more info.
