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 planning all-electric E-Pace crossover

Mon, Oct 26 2015

Jaguar 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 2018

Before 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.
