Having longed to own one of these beautiful and powerful Jaguars since they were introduced in 1961 to a stunned motoring world, I finally was able to purchase one requiring extensive work around five years ago. Of course, the selling line was "it only requires a little bodywork and the engine freeing up". Wrong! It actually required extensive bodywork and a full engine overhaul. Plus brakes, suspension, interior, clutch, driveline and so on and so forth. No problem I told myself. The price was okay and I am capable of undertaking this project as I have done with other vehicles over many years. Plus I have done mechanical work since I left high school in 1958. I did not consider that I would need facilities and specialist equipment to perform this rebuild.
However, I owned an E-type and that was all that really mattered, so "let work commence" At present, my circumstances have changed and cannot see me completing this project. So reluctantly, it is for sale. There is little work left to do to bring it back to roadworthy condition and it is frustrating for me to see all the hard work that I put into it and then unable to complete as planned. The following work has been done: New floor panels apart from a small section. New inner and outer sills (rockers). New boot (trunk) floor panel. Lower rear quarter valances (below rear fenders). Front and rear sill end plates. Left and right hand bulk head sections repaired. Rear fenders repaired. Bonnet forward bottom hinge panel replaced with new (whole section). Engine removed and overhauled. New standard pistons and rings installed. All bearings replaced. A fully refurbished cylinder head installed (old unit supplied with car in case required to keep car numbers matching). New vitrous enamel exhaust manifolds installed. Carburetters overhauled. New expensive Stebro exhaust system installed. Complete new clutch assembly and related hydraulic cylinders. New shock absorbers and coil springs installed front and rear. Steering components replaced or rebuilt. Rear differential checked over after draining out old oil and cleaning. Rebuilt using new seals and gaskets. Drive axles rebuilt. Gearbox removed, internals cleaned and examined.Input and output bearings replaced along with seals and gaskets. New brake discs (rotors) front and rear. Brake calipers fully rebuilt care of Terry's Jaguar. New brake lines. New fuel lines. Fuel pump replaced with an electronic unit from Burlen (SU). New cooling hoses installed. New heater stainless steel pipes linstalled (behind the bulkhead). Heater assembly removed and checked. No issues found. Cooling fans rebuilt. Radiator removed and flushed. Most gauges and switches replaced with new or new old stock including speedometer which is showing zero miles. The odometer reading is off the old gauge and miles shown cannot be verified. New dash top. New light units. Bright work and chrome parts presentable (front and rear bumper over riders and "clamshells"). Interior is decent and new door panels and carpets come with the car.These are a lighter color than the Cinnamon but should look good. Glass is good apart from the windshield which need replacing. The doors and chrome glass apertures require final adjustment. I have receipts for purchases in the region of $15,000.00 excluding paint and other consumable materials. Hundreds of hours of hard work put in. The engine does not always fire up immediately but once running does not show any issues.Smoke free.It requires some fine tuning.I have driven the car out of the driveway several times. Clutch smooth and all gears working good.The car has not been road tested.Although the steering linkage and suspension have been overhauled some of the rubber boots show cracks.Probably due to inferior parts from less know supplier. Not a big or expensive repair.I have many pictures that were taken at various stages of the restoration.Any interested parties with questions can contact me and I will reply. Please do not bid unless you have excellent feedback, you are 100% committed to buy and you have the necessary funds.A deposit of $500.00 is required within 48 hours of winning bid through PayPal.

Leno and Ian Callum pilot Jaguar XK120 at 2014 Mille Miglia
Mon, 02 Jun 2014Jay Leno has been in a British mood recently with his videos highlighting the McLaren P1, 1962 Norton 650SS and Steve McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS. He's keeping the streak alive this week with a look at driving a Jaguar XK120 in the 2014 Mille Miglia historic rally with Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum.
The video show off Jay Leno's Garage in top form. It's way more than just Jay driving the 1,000-mile route from Brescia, Italy, to Rome and back. He also includes interviews with Stirling Moss about winning the race back in 1955, and racer Martin Brundle about what it's like to drive a long-nose Jaguar D-Type this year.
Today, the Mille Miglia is only for historic cars, and it has a much more relaxed pace than the original all-out event. However, this isn't entirely a cruise. Leno seems scared at times talking about it because the drivers are free to ignore the speed limits and open the cars up as much as they are willing to. The roads aren't shut down for regular traffic, either, and things can be dangerous.

Stirling Moss' Jaguar C-Type could bring $7.5M in Monaco
Mon, Nov 23 2015With little over 50 examples made and a decorated racing history, the Jaguar C-Type is one of the most sought-after models ever made by the famous British marque. Bonhams has a very special one coming up for auction – one that Sir Stiling Moss drove at Le Mans in 1952. Jaguar built chassis number XKC 011 for its works racing team in 1952. It made its debut at Silverstone at the hands of pre-war racing legend Peter Walker. Then the factory outfitted with specially elongated bodywork for Le Mans, where Moss teamed up with Walker to split driving duties. Sadly it didn't make it to the finish line thanks to an engine failure, marking the second of eight DNFs that Moss would suffer in ten campaigns at the French endurance race. Moss drove this C-Type in several more races after it was converted back to its standard bodywork. It was then raced by Ecurie Francorchamps before being sold to run in British club racing. The current owner acquired it in 1963, and has held onto it until now. XKC 011 is scheduled to highlight the upcoming Bonhams event at the Fairmont Monte Carlo during the Monaco Grand Prix Historique next May. Bonhams has not published a pre-sale estimate for how much it expects this example to sell for. However in correspondence with Autoblog, the company's auction specialist James Knight revealed: "We certainly feel the car will exceed GBP5m and has the potential to achieve much more." That base estimate works out to over $7.5 million at current exchange rates. We'll be watching to see whether the final sale price comes closer to the $3.7 million for which - according to the Sports Car Market database - Gooding sold one C-Type in 2012, or to the $13.2 million which RM Sotheby's raised for another this past August.
