Offered for sale is a gorgeous, rust-free, well sorted, all numbers matching 1952 Jaguar XK120 Open Two Seater (OTS), finished in stunning Carmine Red over black leather with a black canvas soft top. Just out of the William Young collection in Seattle following nearly 30 years of ownership, the car has been fully gone through mechanically and is ready to enjoy, whether as a hobbyist’s weekend driver or as a Jaguar Club of North America (JCNA) event participant. Originally sold to a Southern California buyer through distributor Charles Hornburg in Los Angeles, by the mid 1980s the car had found its way to the Pacific Northwest, which is where Mr. Young found the car. Impressed with its honesty, lack of rust and complete originality (with numbers matching chassis, body, engine block, head and gearbox), he decided it was the perfect candidate for a thorough restoration and commissioned the work with some of the areas best tradesmen. William Young has been a significant collector for the last 40 years and while his collection has included cars as notable as multiple Jaguar SS examples, the ex-Constance Bennett 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Special Town Car by Brewster (now valued at $3M+) and a bevy of other significant pre and post-war Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, Jaguars were always his true passion and we were fortunate enough to have acquired three of his XK120 Roadsters and his Mark V Drophead Coupe. A JCNA regional president for many years, Mr. Young always purchased only the most solid examples and kept them exceptionally well maintained, as evidenced by this car’s beautiful condition. Following completion of restoration, Mr. Young used the car frequently over the ensuing quarter decade as a weekend cruiser and JCNA event and tour participant. Accordingly, the Carmine Red finish is not without its blemishes, but as the pictures exhibit, they are negligible in terms of taking away from the car’s substantial overall appeal. The body is entirely straight, without any evidence of accident repairs, the brightwork shows only the patina of a well-loved and cared for classic and the chrome knock-off wire wheels are wrapped in brand new wide white wall tires. The black leather interior is in equally clean condition, the seats showing only the most negligible amount of wear and the carpets and interior paneling clean and correct. The canvas soft top is in excellent condition and the car has never been subjected to the elements, evidenced by the untainted, rust-free, completely original undercarriage. This is an entirely pure, correct and honest car, one that needs only a new owner’s garage and the same gentle use and care that it received under Mr. Young’s stewardship. Mechanically the car is fantastic, its factory 3.4L engine firing up effortlessly, idling consistently and pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the original Moss gearbox’s gears. Performance accompanies with excellent, even compression, fantastic ride quality and no proclivity for overheating. The car brakes straight and true, the suspension is sound and it is a joy from behind the wheel, whether tooling through town, roaring through the canyons or bombing down the highway. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an appreciating XK120 OTS that ticks all of the important boxes: completely original, solid and correct undercarriage, strong and sound mechanicals, beautiful and charmingly patinated cosmetics, excellent provenance and ALL matching numbers, confirmed by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate (which we have and will be included in the sale) and the car’s original stamps and data plate. We considered consigning the car to the auctions during Pebble Beach week, but opted instead to sell it privately at what would be a significant discount compared to what examples routinely bring when crossing the auction block. Please bid accordingly. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Jaguar (if the price is right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. For U.S. buyers a 10%
non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction’s end, the
balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Foreign buyers must pay
in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for
shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with recommendations and
arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the right to end the
auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end. Thanks for your
interest. |

Newest Spectre trailer shows DB10, car chases, awesomeness
Wed, Jul 22 2015It's not due in theaters until November and it's not like we've detected any weaknesses yet, but here we are with another trailer for the upcoming James Bond film, Spectre. That is not a complaint, because it looks like it's going to be, as one YouTuber said, "Spectretacular!" We digress. This time we get a little more of the Aston Martin DB10, including the top line for the spec sheet: Q says it will do 0-60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds. Putting on the hat that lets us sincerely debate totally fictitious facts in a totally fictitious universe, we don't think that's fast enough to stay away from the villain's Jaguar C-X75, but it's not like Bond needs to when he's got flamethrowers. So there. You 'll find the latest bout of awesome in the clip above, and look for all the throwback cues. Christoph Waltz dresses like one Ernst Stavro Blofeld and uses the same interior decorator. Bad guy Dave Bautista in a three-piece suit is remarkably reminiscent of Oddjob, and there are various nods to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Enjoy.

Jaguar's EV plans now include a large, lavish sedan that won't be called XJ
Tue, Sep 5 2023Autocar reports Jaguar has resuscitated plans for an electric XJ after canceling the previous attempt, albeit under a different name. There are supposedly two Jaguar-branded EVs arriving in 2025. We know one will be a four-door GT the automaker teased in April of this year. The scant intel we received on it claimed more power than any previous retail Jaguar, besting the 590-horsepower XE SV Project 8, and a starting price around GBP100,000 (around $125,000). We'll guess the output claim represents a top-shelf trim, the starting price represents an entry-trim. The most expensive hardtop the company sells in the U.K. now is the F-Type R 75, asking GBP103,075. A Porsche Taycan, the obvious comparison to a sporty, four-door, six-figure, battery-electric GT, starts at GBP79,200 and runs to GBP148,300 for the Taycan Turbo S. Autocar said company sources outed the Jag as a lavish electric sedan that is effectively, in the magazine's words, a "de-facto XJ replacement but larger and much more luxurious." The Coventry automaker's been dealing with even more turmoil than usual in the past several years, so it's difficult to pin down how many times plans have changed and when. It's thought the original plan had the GT launching ahead of two SUVs. The larger of the two SUVs would be flagship of a three-model electric lineup, specced and priced to challenge the Bentley Bentayga, the English maker joining a cadre of mass-market luxury brands going superluxe and repeatedly naming Bentley as the target. In July of last year, Autocar reported the new plan was "a trio of... electric crossovers," a near-production concept not due until the end of 2024. Now, Autocar's sources maintain the model count remains at three, all of which will sit on the dedicated, long-wheelbase Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA). If this plan holds, there will be that four-door GT against the Taycan, the SUV against the Bentley, and the swanky sedan as something like a BMW i7 competitor. It is expected to be about the length of the 219-inch Bentley Mulsanne, offer all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, a range spread of about 385 to 475 miles on the European cycle, and the ability to recharge its battery from 10% to 80% in 13 minutes. The report also said the output floor would be at around 450 hp.
Hey wait, not everyone hates the diesel engine in our 2017 Jaguar XE
Fri, Aug 18 2017My friend Joel doesn't seem to care for the turbocharged 2.0-liter diesel engine in our long-term 2017 Jaguar XE 20d. That's fine. He's entitled to his opinion. But he does not speak for the entire Autoblog staff. I, for one, am a big fan of this oil burner. I said so months ago after I returned from a 2,000-mile road trip. The intervening months have done nothing to sway my opinion. It's smooth, efficient, and all the engine you need in a non-performance application. It may not have the raw power or full range torque of the XE's gasoline engines, but it's a fine fit in this car. Not everyone who buys a sports sedan like the XE or BMW 3 Series does so because they want a sharp canyon carver. Some just want a handsome car that will get them from point A to B in relative comfort. The Jaguar XE diesel does just that, and it does so while achieving some pretty astounding fuel economy numbers. We met the 30 mpg city rating and eclipsed the 40 mpg highway rating with ease. It's not like the XE diesel is slow. Sure, a 0-60 mph time of 7.5 seconds isn't blistering, but it's far from what anyone should consider slow or lethargic. That time is right on par with the BMW 328d. Sure, it runs out of breath at peak revs, but so does every other diesel. If you care about wringing it out, buy a gas version. By Joel's own admission, the engine's 180 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque are available when needed for highway passing or city driving. That's all most people really need. So what if it falls on its face at high revs. I will concede that this isn't the most refined diesel on the market. At idle, it shimmies like an unbalanced washing machine. Jaguar has tuned a lot of that out, but it isn't nearly as calm as the competition (though it's miles better than diesels of old). It revs quickly for a diesel, but the exhaust note is one to forget. The engine sounds like a muffled foghorn mixed with a jar of nails. Not good. Once you get moving, it settles down. Highway cruising is a breeze. You forget you have a compression ignition engine under the hood. Even around town, turn the radio on and you'll be fine. Joel is right about the ride and handling totally outclassing the diesel engine. The car is comfortable on highways and city streets but sharpens up on a curvy backroad. The steering and suspension communicate to the driver what the car is doing at all times. The brakes inspire confidence with a firm pedal and sharp bite.
