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 Viet Nam and you can probably guess what happened there.  The car sat in his parents’ garage from 1964 until both parents died about 2 years ago, at which time it was sold to settle their estate.

 

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 Washington.  They apparently do more concours Jaguar interiors than any other company in the USA.  The interior includes every soft item in the cockpit and trunk area, as well as a new top with correct small glass window, new tonneau cover, new side curtains and chrome side cortain frames, upholstery, new foam cushions, paneling, carpets, dash paneling, battery area covers, and any other soft trim pieces.  This all cost me $7,500 and will NOT be included with the car unless you click the “Buy It Now” button.  However, I will be willing to sell it all to the winning bidder for an additional $5,000 if he is interested.  It is all in perfect, new, concours condition, and is about a year old now, still in the boxes it was shipped to me in.  Everything that was originally leather is leather, and all other materials are as original as well.

 

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

 

If you have any questions, you can use the “Ask Seller A Question” box, or call me at (912) 638-7954 or (912) 222-5771 between 9 AM and 9 PM, Eastern time.

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.

Jaguar Land Rover to skip 2016 Detroit Auto Show

Mon, Nov 23 2015

Jaguar Land Rover won't attend the 2016 Detroit Auto Show in January because the automaker will shift its focus to other international shows instead, the company confirmed to Autoblog. "Following a review of our global consumer engagement program, the decision has been made not to exhibit at the Detroit show in 2016," said a company spokesperson told Autoblog. The story was first reported by Automotive News. JLR will continue to attend other US auto shows in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles; plus those abroad in Geneva, Frankfurt, Paris, Beijing, and Shanghai. "We recognize that the Detroit show is a world-class Tier 1 auto show, however, we have had to make this decision to sharpen our focus as indicated," the spokesperson said. Detroit Auto Show PR Manager Max Muncey told Autoblog that the organizers already knew JLR wouldn't be there. "We are in discussions with other automakers to fill that spot," he said about using the open space. The show expects 70 percent of the floor plan in 2016 to be different from last year. The automaker used the 2015 Detroit Auto Show to announce diesel versions for several models, and it revealed the name for the Jaguar F-Pace there. JLR reportedly now has a plan to cut the equivalent of $6.8 billion in costs without firing workers and increase production to a million annual deliveries by the end of the decade. Related Video:
