1952 Jaguar Xk 120 on 2040-cars
Mission Viejo, California, United States
1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster / convertible replica. It was built in 2007 by a company called
Antique and Collectibles Autos Inc. Since being built it has had a lot of custom work done including suspension,
exhaust,engine, transmission, interior, stereo, wheels and under hood chrome. There were only 6,400 real XK120's
built between 1948-1954. One in this condition would of course be worth over $200,000. By the way this has been a
dry weather California car since new.
There were only a few companies that offered these kits in the 80's and 90's. Antiques and collectibles of New York
made the highest quality and closest resemblance of the real deal. They stopped offering the XK120 kit in 2007 but
still offer many other kit cars to this day(this happens to be the last 1952 XK120 they ever made). The Antique and
Collectibles kits are the most sought after, have the highest resale and are becoming very hard to find. This is
the only one I have actually ever seen that is what you would call a resto mod.
The cars body is made of hand laid fiberglass coated with British racing green gel coat which is much more durable
than automotive paint(you use boat wax to polish it). These were made to use a Mustang 11 as a donor for the
engine, drive train, electrical and suspension. That wasn't the case with this one. The suspension, rear brakes,
steering, wiring harness and rear end are all Ford. The engine, transmission, front brakes and custom modified
drive shaft are all Chevy.
The suspension/drive train didn't come from a used donor car like you will find with most of these kit cars. This
kit was built using all new parts. The car has only 8.500 kilometers(a little over 5,000 original miles) since
built in 2007. The engine, transmission, suspension, wheels/tires, performance upgrades, chrome accessories and
exhaust have less than 2,000 miles on them. This car is California smog exempt(titled as a specialty car) and has a
B.A.R. identification tag on the fire wall to prove it

Jaguar Land Rover develops 'transparent' A-pillar and ghost car [w/video]
Mon, Dec 15 2014Jaguar and Land Rover are known for making highly covetable luxury, performance and off-road vehicles, but the British automakers are on a bit of a technology bent lately. Keen to show that it can not only keep up but lead the way when it comes to safety and convenience features, JLR has come out with two more systems to show the way forward. JLR's new 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen system, showcased on an XJ sedan, adopts two novel approaches to getting around town. First up is the Transparent Pillar system, which uses a combination of cameras and display screens embedded in the A, B and C-pillars to make them virtually disappear. Instead of acting as blind spots limiting the driver's visibility, the system uses the roof pillars to display what's going on around the car. If there's an obstacle hidden by the A-pillars, the system shows you the potential hazard as if the pillars weren't there, and brings the obstacle to the driver's attention. If the driver turns his or her head to see a vehicle passing alongside, it projects the vehicle on the inside of the B- or C-pillar. The second technology integrated in the next-generation head-up display is the Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation system, which takes a page out of the video-game playbook by projecting a "ghost car" on the windscreen that the driver can then "follow" instead of listening to turn-by-turn directions or looking at a map in the dashboard display. The system is similar to what Jaguar recently showcased on an F-Type for track use, but applied for more practical use on city streets and highways. The release of these systems also follows the integrated smart navigation and infotainment system displayed on the Range Rover Sport and the Transparent Bonnet showcased on the Discovery Vision concept. Though these new technologies might not be quite ready for production applications, their impressive sum total goes to show that Jaguar Land Rover is ahead of the curve when it comes to reducing driver distraction and increasing the driver's visibility. Scope out the latest systems in the press release and video below for a closer look of what the future holds for British-style luxury motoring. This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar XE bares its claws in 74 images [w/video]
Wed, 01 Oct 2014The XE may prove to be the most vital new model to Jaguar's expansion. But to date we've only really seen it in top-spec, supercharged XE S form. That ends right here and now, however, as Jaguar releases details, photos and even a brief video clip showing the entire range - including those most customers are bound to buy.
Globally speaking - or at least in its home market - Jaguar will offer the XE with five different engines and in four different trim levels. The new Ingenium engine family includes two diesels and two turbocharged gasoline options along with the top-of-the-line supercharged V6 that will serve as the XE's performance flagship model, at least until a new SVR version comes along. Both six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions are on offer, and overseas buyers will also be able to choose between base SE, mid-range Prestige, opulent Portfolio, dynamic R-Sport and range-topping S trim levels.
Of course not every engine is available in each trim level and with either transmission, so instead of 40 combinations we're looking at 22. Once the XE reaches American showrooms, we'll likely be looking at even fewer, as we're not expecting the manual and diesel versions to be offered Stateside. Stay tuned as well for our live impressions from the floor of the Paris Motor Show. But in the meantime you can scope out all the details and UK specifications in the press release below, along with the short video and the gallery of 74 high-resolution images above.
Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.
