1952 Jaguar Xk120 Roadster - Beautiful, All Numbers Matching And Entirely Solid on 2040-cars
Year:1952
Mileage:25919
Location:
Santa Barbara, California, United States
|
Offered for sale is a gorgeous, rust-free, well sorted, all numbers matching 1952 Jaguar XK120 Open Two Seater (OTS), finished in stunning Carmine Red over black leather with a black canvas soft top. Just out of the William Young collection in Seattle following nearly 30 years of ownership, the car has been fully gone through mechanically and is ready to enjoy, whether as a hobbyist’s weekend driver or as a Jaguar Club of North America (JCNA) event participant. Originally sold to a Southern California buyer through distributor Charles Hornburg in Los Angeles, by the mid 1980s the car had found its way to the Pacific Northwest, which is where Mr. Young found the car. Impressed with its honesty, lack of rust and complete originality (with numbers matching chassis, body, engine block, head and gearbox), he decided it was the perfect candidate for a thorough restoration and commissioned the work with some of the areas best tradesmen. William Young has been a significant collector for the last 40 years and while his collection has included cars as notable as multiple Jaguar SS examples, the ex-Constance Bennett 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Special Town Car by Brewster (now valued at $3M+) and a bevy of other significant pre and post-war Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, Jaguars were always his true passion and we were fortunate enough to have acquired three of his XK120 Roadsters and his Mark V Drophead Coupe. A JCNA regional president for many years, Mr. Young always purchased only the most solid examples and kept them exceptionally well maintained, as evidenced by this car’s beautiful condition. Following completion of restoration, Mr. Young used the car frequently over the ensuing quarter decade as a weekend cruiser and JCNA event and tour participant. Accordingly, the Carmine Red finish is not without its blemishes, but as the pictures exhibit, they are negligible in terms of taking away from the car’s substantial overall appeal. The body is entirely straight, without any evidence of accident repairs, the brightwork shows only the patina of a well-loved and cared for classic and the chrome knock-off wire wheels are wrapped in brand new wide white wall tires. The black leather interior is in equally clean condition, the seats showing only the most negligible amount of wear and the carpets and interior paneling clean and correct. The canvas soft top is in excellent condition and the car has never been subjected to the elements, evidenced by the untainted, rust-free, completely original undercarriage. This is an entirely pure, correct and honest car, one that needs only a new owner’s garage and the same gentle use and care that it received under Mr. Young’s stewardship. Mechanically the car is fantastic, its factory 3.4L engine firing up effortlessly, idling consistently and pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the original Moss gearbox’s gears. Performance accompanies with excellent, even compression, fantastic ride quality and no proclivity for overheating. The car brakes straight and true, the suspension is sound and it is a joy from behind the wheel, whether tooling through town, roaring through the canyons or bombing down the highway. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an appreciating XK120 OTS that ticks all of the important boxes: completely original, solid and correct undercarriage, strong and sound mechanicals, beautiful and charmingly patinated cosmetics, excellent provenance and ALL matching numbers, confirmed by both the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate (which we have) and the car’s original stamps and data plate. We considered consigning the entire collection to the Gooding and Co. auction at Amelia Island, FL this spring, but opted to sell the cars (or the entire collection) privately at what would be a significant discount compared to what examples routinely bring when crossing the auction block. Please bid accordingly. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Jaguar (if the price is right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. For U.S. buyers a 10%
non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction’s end, the
balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Foreign buyers must pay
in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for
shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with recommendations and
arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the right to end the
auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end. Thanks for your
interest. |

Jaguar Land Rover to recall 44,000 vehicles over excessive diesel emissions
Thu, Mar 14 2019Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 44,000 vehicles in the U.K. due to some of its vehicles emitting higher CO2 emissions than were officially stated. The recall is said to affect vehicles equipped with JLR's 2.0-liter diesel engine in cars built between 2014 and 2018. Quite a few models are affected, including the Jaguar XE, XF, E-Pace, F-Pace, along with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Sport. The excessive CO2 emissions were discovered by the British vehicle certification agency, who then reported it to JLR. The company is reportedly working on a fix that will satisfy the agency and bring the cars back in line with their stated CO2 emissions. As of now, JLR is not saying what the fix will entail. A statement from JLR reads: "The modifications will be made free of charge, and every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience to the customer." The U.K. magazine Which? said JLR told them owners might experience minor changes to the "overall vehicle experience." Reading between the lines there, that sounds like there could be some pretty serious tampering with the engine software, but we'll leave the speculation to a minimum for now. CO2 emissions numbers are used in the U.K. to set tax levels for vehicles, which means JLR could have gotten out of some taxation with its artificially low CO2 numbers. At this point we don't know how badly the numbers are off, so it's impossible to know how egregious the mislabeling is. There also isn't any explanation for why the CO2 numbers are off, but this is all information that could be forthcoming. The 44,000 number could rise, too, because the UK vehicle standards agency says that some gasoline models could also be involved. That would open a whole new can of worms for JLR. Some Jaguar vehicles (XE, XF and F-Pace) offer a 2.0-liter diesel option for the U.S., but Land Rover's only diesel it sells here now is the 3.0-liter V6. For the time being there's no recall out on the diesel or gas engines from JLR in the U.S. There's no chatter surrounding emissions cheat devices like those involved with Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal. Nor does the scale of whatever the problem is come anywhere near the amount of Volkswagen diesels that needed to be recalled or taken off the roads. We'll be keeping tabs on the situation to see if this expands any further than the U.K. Green Recalls Jaguar Land Rover SUV Diesel Vehicles Luxury Sedan
Aston Martin DBX and the craziest car redesigns | Autoblog Podcast #716
Fri, Feb 11 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. They chat about slumming it in the Aston Martin DBX, the brand's first SUV, which they didn't have terribly high expectations for yet utterly blew them away. Riswick in particular notes it's one of the best cars he's ever driven, describing it as a family GT car. They then switch to a very different family vehicle: the 2022 Kia Carnival, and the unique second-row seating arrangement we've dubbed the "Captain Kirk chair." Greg has also been driving the Chevrolet Tahoe Premier. They also chat about two of Riswick's recent features: the 20 craziest car redesigns of the past 20 years and the best cars for snow. Autoblog Podcast #716 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown Cars we're driving Aston Martin DBX 2022 Kia Carnival 2022 Chevy Tahoe Features 20 craziest car redesigns of the last 20 years Best cars for snow Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.
