I Excellent example of the Mark IV. The pictures tell the story. Older paint job, with a few baubles here and
there but an overall nice appearance. Runs great, fires up on first push of starter button after applying some
spark advance. Holds 40 pounds oil pressure on idle. Everything works, lights, horn and gauges. Even the side
semaphore flippers (trafficators) pop out when the turn signal is turned on. Very impressive. I believe the
headlight lenses are from a Rolls Royce, but I have the two cracked originals. The Windshield cranks out okay, but
the seal is rough. Sunroof opens and closes nicely. The interior wood is original and the upholstery has been
redone. Seat frames and hardware are original. All in excellent condition. Seats are very comfortable with back
center armrest. Front seats adjustments work. Wood on doors and dash is excellent for it's age with a few cracks.
Headliner is very nice and could be the original. Windows crank up and down easily. Floors are solid, underneath
looks good. Frame shows no problems. I did have to recondition the front shock links, but the shocks (front and
rear) are in nice operating condition. The car had been stored in a Florida garage for several years and I had to
replace the fuel tank (hard to find and pricey) and clean out the lines. Also rebuilt one of the fuel pumps and
cleaned and tuned the carbs. The motor was overhauled (as evidenced by new freeze plugs) by a previous owner, but
I have no paperwork to show what was done. She runs down the road smoothly with all gears working properly and
brakes doing a good job. I have only driven this car short distances around home, so don't know how it would
perform on a long distance run. I believe one would just have to be patient. The chrome could use some attention
as it is becoming pitted and lacks original luster, but it is all there. Tool box cover has been renewed and looks
very nice. I do not have the tools. Actual mileage is unknown.

Jaguar Land Rover won't get a bailout from the UK
Sun, Aug 16 2020Bailout talks between Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Steel with the UK government have ended, leaving both firms to rely on private financing to overcome the impact of coronavirus on business, the Financial Times reported on Friday. The report said that talks for an emergency funding fell through as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) did not qualify for taxpayer support. It is the luxury car unit of India's Tata Motors and Tata Steel, both owned by Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The bailout plan, titled "Project Birch", had been authorized by Finance Minister Rishi Sunak in May to rescue companies that are seen as strategically important, with the Treasury saying it may step in to support crucial businesses on a "last resort" basis after other options run out. The report, citing a source familiar with the matter, said that the funding scheme became infeasible for Tata as it imposed strict conditions on any lending. "Tata Steel remains in ongoing and constructive talks with the UK Government on areas of potential support," Tata Steel said in an emailed statement. The UK Treasury said it would not comment on individual companies. Tata Motors did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Ian Callum wanted to call Jaguar's crossover X-Type [w/poll]
Thu, Jan 15 2015Jaguar raised some eyebrows when it announced that it would call its upcoming crossover F-Pace. But the British automaker didn't just pick the name out of a hat. Speaking with Auto Express, Jaguar's design director Ian Callum said the company entertained several possible nameplates for its first crossover, and that he personally advocated for resurrecting the name X-Type. The nameplate was, of course, previously used on the marque's entry-level sedan – the predecessor to the upcoming XE that was based on the front-drive platform of the Ford Mondeo and which was also offered with all-wheel drive. The connection with that much-maligned model is reportedly ultimately what dissuaded the company's marketing gurus from using the nameplate again, even if it might have been more suitable. Another nameplate Coventry reportedly considered was XQ, but the latter letter's use by rival Audi for its crossovers and by former sister company Aston Martin for its personalization range ruled the prospect out for the Leaping Cat marque. Auto Express notes a connection between the name F-Pace and Jaguar's 1960s ad campaign hailing its products as offering a combination of "Grace, Space and Pace." For his part, Callum didn't dismiss the possibility the slogan could could lead to additional models wearing similar nameplates like F-Grace or F-Space.

Jaguar lets first outsiders drive new F-Type
Mon, 17 Dec 2012What do you do when you're an automaker with an all-new and brand-defining sports car, one of them with a supercharged V8 cranking out 495 horsepower? You let proven race drivers test them out on track and on the road.
And what do you do if you're Jaguar and you're in that situation? Why, naturally, you make a video of it. That's how we get footage of racers Martin Brundle, Justin Bell and Christian Danner being choppered into the UK's Snetterton track to test the V6-equipped Jaguar F-Type S prototype. Then when they're finished with kerb-lined apexes, they take the V8 S prototype out onto the roads to run it through hedge-lined apexes.
According to one of them, "very fast, very nimble, great engine" is what will soon be headed our way. Check it out in the video below.
