You are bidding on a one owner 1952 Jaguar XK 120.  I am listing this for a friend who's father just passed away at age 98.  I am sorry that the photos of the car are not better.  It is in a storage shed and the lighting was poor.  We believe that ever part is there to due a full restoration.  As you can see in the photos each box is labeled.  He saved the leather so new pieces could be cut.  The windshield is there but it is cracked. You can use it as a pattern.  Below is the description that the son in law wrote up.

This XK 120 was bought new 8/15/1952 by its current owner and is original with all matching numbers and the original title.  The car was driven regularly until the early 1970's when it was placed in covered storage awaiting restoration.  In the mid-1980's the owner, a retired engineer at Fairchild Aircraft Manufactures, began restoration.  The goal of the restoration was to return the car to driving condition and resume regular use.

The car was disassembled and the work on the mechanicals was undertaken.  The engine and transmission were overhauled and returned to full working condition.  The brake and  suspension were overhauled.  All body rust was repaired and the door sills on both sides were replaced.  The drivetrain was reinstalled in the body.  At that point, in the early 1990's, work was halted due to various personal reasons and the car was returned to covered storage where it has remained until now.  The owner has recently died at age 98 and the car is being offered for sale by his estate.

The car is believed to be 100% complete, and except for the replaced sills, is completely original.  The body is in excellent condition with most of the original paint mostly intact.  While still being driven, the car suffered a minor fender bender and there is damage to the left front fender and front valance.  The convertible roof framing is complete, but the canvas has rotted away.  The car has the original steel wire wheels but the tires are rotted.  The original wooden floor boards are available, along with a new replacement made from epoxy coated marine plywood.  A number of reference materials are also available, including shop manuals.

There is also a manual that the owner made up that has drawings of many of the parts on the car and how they are installed.  From my observation the floor of the trunk was replaced.  I do not know if the car will roll. I would suggest bring wheels with tires and maybe it will roll without much problem.

This car is sold as is, where is. We will help get it out of the storage shed and across the lawn to the transport truck. A good neighbor and friend has had this in their shed for a quarter century.  And we want to make sure their lawn is not damaged when the car is removed.
The car is located in Hagerstown Md.  If you are very serious and want to make a offer before the auction ends and need to see the car we can arrange that. Otherwise the car is not available for viewing.
 $500 through PayPal within 24 hours of end of auction. Balance due within 5 days of end of auction. PayPal, Bank check or cash. We would like the car picked up within 7 days after auction ends.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

Has the Jaguar XKR-S Sportbrake leaked out early?

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Want to haul ass down the Autobahn with the whole family and all their gear in tow? Forget that Porsche Cayenne or Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 - what you'll want is a power wagon: something like an Audi RS6 Avant or Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate. Unfortunately there are precious few of these performance station wagons on the market anywhere, especially with American offerings like the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon on its way out and the Dodge Magnum SRT8 long gone. But there's a new challenger emerging.
That'd be the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, a hi-po estate from Coventry that's been a long time in the making. And now it's apparently almost here. (Only by "here," we mean "there," as it's not likely ever to come to the United States.)
Apparently set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show is a Frankenstein-style cross between a Jaguar XF Sportbrake and XFR-S performance sedan, taking the best elements from both. From the former, that means the extended roofline that gives it the cargo capacity of a small crossover. From the former, that means a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 producing 542 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque, driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Jaguar XE bares its claws in 74 images [w/video]

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

The 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.

Jaguar has something special planned for Goodwood

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

It's been barely a week since JLR announced its new Special Operations division, dedicated to creating limited-run halo cars and custom creations for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Now the British automaker has confirmed the debut of the division's first project.
We don't know what it is, exactly, that Jaguar will be bringing to the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week, but we bet it'll be exciting. If we were the betting kind, we'd put our money on some kind of hot-rod F-Type, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Alongside whatever JLR Special Operations has got cooking, Coventry will also be bringing the new F-Type R Coupe and XFR-S Sportbrake to run up the hill alongside a whole slew of classic and racing Jaguars, including a pair of D-Types, a Group 44 E-Type, a Group A XJS and the reunion of XJR-9 and Andy Wallace that last saw each other on the top step of the podium at Le Mans in 1988.
