1954 Jaguar Xk120 Ots Roadster -- Garage Find on 2040-cars
Brunswick, Georgia, United States
You
are bidding on a 1954 Jaguar XK120 OTS roadster.
HISTORY -- This car was purchased by a young man in the early
‘60s. In 1964 he was drafted into the US
Army, so he stored this car in his parents garage with the plan to get it back
out when he returned from his stint in the army. He was sent to
MECHANICAL – When I bought the car 2 years ago, the oil was
changed and we were able to get it running fairly easily by using an external
fuel source. The engine sounded good and
there was no smoke, although we didn’t run it for longer than a minute or so
because there was no coolant added. It
has not been started since that time.
BODY
– This is one of the most rust-free old cars I’ve ever seen. There is no rust in the frame, body, fenders,
fender wells, sills, bottoms of the doors, trunk, spare tire area, etc. The only rust I could find anywhere were a
couple very small holes behind the rocker panels in an obscure area. It doesn’t appear that the car has ever been
in an accident. When sighting along the
slab sides of the car, there are no ripples anywhere. It is as straight as an arrow. Everything fits up nicely too. The original color of the car was black with
red interior. There has never been any
attempt at a restoration on this car in the past. The current green paint was added in the
early ‘60s.
I
have the Heritage Certificate for the car which verifies that it is a complete,
numbers-matching car throughout, including the original engine, cylinder head, and
transmission.
I
purchased a complete set of interior for the car in the correct red color from
Heritage Jaguar interiors in
I
expect payment within 5 days of the end of the auction. The car can be picked up after your check has
cleared my bank. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I can give
the name of a good, reliable shipper if you wish. NOTE: Buyer
will be given a Bill of Sale and a DelawareTitle for this car

Jaguar planning all-electric E-Pace crossover
Mon, Oct 26 2015Jaguar hasn't quite finished rolling out the new F-Pace (pictured above), and already reports are circulating of another crossover model to join it in the near future. According to Automobile, it'll be called the E-Pace. Here's the kicker: it'll be all-electric. The E-Pace would take advantage of ultra-efficient aerodynamics in order to drop its drag coefficient to just 0.28 g, thereby increasing efficiency. It'd also be the first fully electric model from Jaguar, and would likely be even smaller than the sporty new F-Pace. Through-the-road all-wheel drive would give it poor weather traction, and the electric motors would provide plenty of low-end punch. The model would go up against the Tesla Model X and a potential production version of the Audi E-Tron Quattro concept revealed in Frankfurt. Rather than handle production in-house, the E-Pace could emerge as the mysterious upcoming model which Jaguar Land Rover is planning to have Magna Steyr build on its behalf. The factory in Graz, Austria has long built the G-Class for Mercedes-Benz, continues to assemble the Mini Countryman, and has also handled models like the Aston Martin Rapide and BMW X3. Automobile figures that Jaguar would need to make at least 20,000 units each year to make the model profitable. For comparison's sake, Tesla is projected to move about 33,000 Model S units in 2015. Even if the E-Pace falls short of this target, the project could be worthwhile for JLR purely for publicity purposes and to help cut its average fleet emissions. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover backs Arc startup that sells $100,000 electric motorcycles
Wed, Nov 7 2018Before it even put its first motorcycle on the road, new startup Arc reeled in a major player to back its ambitious product plan. In conjunction with the reveal of the fully electric Vector superbike at the Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori ( EICMA) show in Milan, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced it is placing capital in Arc, using JLR's investment company InMotion Ventures. Arc claims the Vector is the first all-electric motorcycle with integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI) to come to market. Arc, not to be confused with Keanu Reeve's Arch motorcycle company, has a pretty typical mission statement: "To use progressive design and technology to transform people's relationship with an automative experience. For us, for you, for our planet." At the core, Arc wants to make connected, clean, exclusive superbikes, and the Vector is its first try. Although Arc didn't get into the nitty gritty details about the make-up of the bike, it did give some surface specs and information. The bike's structure is built using a carbon composite to create a "unique Arc battery monocoque." Weight is also kept low using carbon fiber swing arms. There is no mention of the size or type of electric powertrain, but Arc claims it will have a highway range of about 120 miles or a city range of 170 miles on a single charge. Arc says it will be able to sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 124 mph. Stopping power comes from a Brembo brake system, while ride and handling relies on Ohlins dampers. The launch does not stop at the motorcycle, but includes gear, as well. The Vector links up with a jacket and a helmet for a fully connected experience. Partnering with U.K.-based impact protection design company Knox, Arc created the Arc Pilot System. Using audio, the armored Origin riding jacket provides haptic feedback based on numerous riding inputs to help keep the driver safe and aware. Furthermore, Arc linked up with luxury helmet maker Hedon to build the WiFi-connected Zenith helmet that houses an integrated projection heads-up display. In addition to showing things such as speed or battery life of the bike, the helmet uses a built-in rear camera to display other vehicles in the rider's blind spots. The rider can command the system using controls on the bike or via voice commands.
