Here we have offered a beautiful 1954 Jaguar XK 120 SE ready for show or just to drive. It has been in our collection for the past 20 years and has been restored for the past 12 years. The car still shows as nice as the day it rolled out of our shop. The car is a very classy driver and will turn heads at every show you go to. It recently did an add in two magazines which you can see in the pictures section. It is a very rare Southern California car ready for a new home.
I will break the car down to its parts to make it easier and to show all the work that has been done to this stunning Jaguar. Paint and Body: When we started to restore this car it came to use from dry storage out of Palmdale, CA. It was complete but needed alot of attention. We have a picture book of when it arrived all the way through paint to show the metal work and paint process we went through. The book will be included with the sale. The car was completely striped down the bare metal. The only damage that needed repair was the drivers side front fender which was pounded out and metal finished before primer was applied. The whole car was sprayed a gloss coat of black and block sanded down to make sure it was smooth as silk. The two stage Urethane red metallic was then applied and cut and buffed to a glossy shine. Over the years it was gotten a few bumps and nicks on edges but nothing even minor or that hasnt been brush touched. At the time of restoration all the chrome was replated. and original hardware was restored and replaced. Interior: The interior in this car is a thing of beauty! It received a full english tan leather interior that one concours judge quoted as just flawless. The bently wool carpet to match was run over the floor and continues into the trunk area. The dash was wrapped in the same leather with all the gauges being restored and fully functional. The car also had a complete new wiring harness installed along with new cables as well. The steering wheel was repainted a gloss black and new turn signal assembly. There is a fully restored top that does come with the car but we have never had it installed. It was fitted and trimmed before the car was painted. I do not have the side curtins but they are available from Jag parts people. The lights all Work as do the turn signals. The horn does not work but everything is there and the same goes for the windshield wipers. Engine and drivetrain: The Engine is a later XKE 3.8 Litter inline 6 engine that was completely rebuilt and installed with the 3.4 correct intake, carbs and exhaust manifold. It is better motor for the car but is it not correct. We do have the numbers matching motor but it would need a full overhaul and that is something I can work out with the new owner. The motor runs perfectly and idles like a dream. It curently has 86 miles on it since being restored . The car does have Stainless dual exhaust that sings down the road. The Original numbers matching Moss 4 speed transmission and rear end were both left in the car and had their fluids changed. Wheels and Tires: Being a SE (special edition) car it was a factory item to have wire wheels. We opted to have the chrome wire wheels with chrome knock offs to set this car apart. They are wrapped up in new Bias ply tires that actually hold this car to the road very well. The brakes were also completely gone through and because of that it now stops on a dime! Any extras: The car does have some small flaws but in no way detracts from the over all beauty of it. When your behind the wheel of this Jaguar all your problems will disappear and you will have a huge smile on your face. I always tell people when you are on the freeway and hit 4th gear and hear the note of the exhaust and the wind blowing over the wind screen.... it takes you to another place. Im very impressed with this car. It shows well. It drives even better. I truely hate to part with it but the time has come where you have to let a new owner enjoy it as much as you have. If you have any questions feel free to email me. I can also send you my contact number. I welcome anyone to come inspect the car also before auctions end. I do have it listed locally so the auction could come to an end before. |

Jaguar Land Rover said to favor Europe rather than US for new plant
Sat, Feb 21 2015With its plants running at full tilt, Jaguar Land Rover is in desperate need of additional manufacturing capacity. That's led to reports that the Indian-owned British company was looking to join European, Japanese and Korean automakers in America's southern states, all while it opened new plants in the UK and China. The company even announced it would be building the Land Rover Discovery Sport in Brazil. Now, though, reports are suggesting that JLR is looking at Europe for a new facility, rather than the US, with Automotive News claiming the company's execs are eyeing the lower costs afforded by Austria and Turkey. The report cites the Birmingham Post (UK), the broadsheet that's closest to the company's headquarters. According to the original report, labor costs and wage disputes with unions are ruling out another factory in the UK, while those same disputes with labor outfits may also be souring the automaker on a US facility. "At this stage Europe seems more likely than America. The union pay dispute had a big effect," an unnamed source told the Post. "There is a feeling of alienation that has been left over from the way the pay talks were handled." JLR, meanwhile, offered a solid no comment to the Post, with a spokesperson saying, "No decision has been taken on future manufacturing locations. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to increase our manufacturing footprint in the future." Related Video:
Cat Scratch Fever: Jaguar's turnaround looks toward the US
Fri, Oct 9 2015It is ironic that a British car company, steeped in the European sports-car tradition and now owned by an Indian industrial conglomerate, will ambitiously be seeking to attract customers in the United States with, of all things, a truck. But there it is: Jaguar's beefy F-Pace crossover, the first SUV in the company's 80-year history, hit the ground last month at the Frankfurt motor show. The F-Pace – along with the new XE sedan designed to take on the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 both in Europe and on these shores – is spearheading the brand's hoped-for turnaround on this side of the Pond. In the States, Jaguar is still a big player for Tata Motors of India, which bought Jaguar Land Rover from Ford for $2.3 billion after months of back-and-forth negotiations in 2008. It seemed like an incredibly brassy move at the time, when the economy worldwide was reeling and Britain's automotive industry was on its heels. And while the Jaguar brand name has a grand historical resonance, in the first nine months of 2015 it moved just over 11,000 cars in the US, down five percent for the same period the previous year. But if Porsche can capitalize on SUV sales, so can Jaguar. The tea leaves are promising come next spring, when both new premium luxury models arrive in the US. The F-Pace will have a starting price of about $43,000; the sedan range starts at a competitive $35,000. View 25 Photos Architecturally, both models are similar, with a modular aluminum chassis, and, for the F-Pace, a range of gasoline and diesel engines for Europe as well as rear- or all-wheel drive. For the American market, the model-year 2017 crossover will launch with a 380-horsepower gasoline V6 mated to an eight-speed transmission and all-wheel drive. Later in 2016, a 180-hp four-cylinder Ingenium diesel is expected to be added to the lineup. Both models are currently built in the UK, although if demand increases, Jaguar is likely to shift some production to Brazil, China, or Eastern Europe. I wanted a Jaguar that was designed as a crossover, not the other way round. For Jaguar design director Ian Callum, who showed up at the SUV's formal debut in Frankfurt, skepticism – did we mention that Jaguar was a sports-car company? – turned to enthusiasm as his team worked to develop some "drama" in the SUV's shape. "I wanted a Jaguar that was designed as a crossover, not the other way round," he said.
