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

This classic Jaguar XJ has a 720-hp ungentlemanly secret

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Forget Tawny Kitaen. If you want to make a Jaguar XJ rock, just do what this guy did: stuff a heavily modified and turbocharged General Motors V8 under the hood, and take it to the track.
The video calls this Series 1 XJ a sleeper, but with its open exhaust and obvious turbo whistle, the once-gentlemanly sedan is anything but. The owner says that the engine is GM LQ9 V8 that has been stroked to 402 cubic inches putting out around 720 horsepower with 12 pounds of boost (in standard form, this 6.0-liter V8 was used in the second-gen Cadillac Escalade). Check out the video below to see what that kind of power does for this classic Jaguar in the eighth-mile.

Watch the trailer for Jaguar's short film staring the F-Type and Damian Lewis

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Jaguar continues to think well outside of the box when it comes to marketing it's new F-Type, now furthering plans for a short film which highlights the sexy roadster. Desire, featuring Damian Lewis (star of the hit series Homeland), Jordi Mollà (unforgettable in Bad Boys II) and Shannyn Sossamon (that girl you had a crush on for like a month in 2002 after you rented A Knight's Tale), Jaguar is clearly pulling out all the stops for this one. Well, nearly all the stops anyway - the "Ridley Scott Associates" billing isn't quite the same has having the man himself, if we're splitting hairs.
The short video below is still just a trailer for Desire - the full film will make its debut sometime in April, we're told. The sketched out plotlines tell us that Lewis' character Clark, "...delivers cars for a living, running into trouble after a chance encounter with a mysterious, young woman (Sossamon) in the middle of a lawless desert." The car looks good, at any rate.
Call us crazy, but the Desire trailer feels an awful lot like a spoof on the cool-but-overly-serious short films that BMW has done in this vein, already. Maybe we're just being cynical? Tell us what you think in comments after watching the clip.

Wacky Jaguar crossover mule is a mind-blowing mashup

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

As Jaguar prepares to introduce its first-ever utility vehicle, our spy shooters have captured this jacked-up XF mule out testing. While a production Jaguar crossover will surely resemble something closer to the recent C-X17 Concept, we can't help but think that the automaker could sell at least a few of these lifted, four-wheel-drive sedans.
Other than proving that Jaguar is hard at work developing this new model using a cobbled-together body, there are some details we can put together about this luxury CUV. For one it's about the same length as an XF, while the ride height is obviously taller and the tire track wider. We're not sure what the rig on top of this mule is for, but the whole car has us reminiscing about the old sedan versions of the Subaru Outback and the AMC Eagle (with a luxury spin, of course).
