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 F-Type meets America in first TV spots

Wed, 15 May 2013

With its new "Your Turn" global ad campaign, Jaguar has introduced its 2014 F-Type to the world of broadcast media. The effort takes aim at the monied 25-54 demographic, which makes sense of Jaguar recently shacking up with the 2013 Playboy Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun and San Francisco NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. You'll also be seeing the new roadster on ESPN's SportsCenter, late night ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the USA Network show Covert Affairs, the Sundance Channel and theaters, magazines and everywhere digital. On top of all that, a social media campaign includes a contest called #MyTurnToJag that will reward four winners with a custom drive in the new convertible.
You'll find the first two spots below, along with a press release on the roaring red marketing onslaught headed your way.

Prince Harry drove Meghan Markle to their Royal Wedding reception in this electric Jaguar

Sat, May 19 2018

Well over a billion people all over the world tuned in to watch the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this morning, but now that it's all said and done, it's time to direct our attention to the car that the newly crowned Duke and Duchess of Sussex drove to their reception. The Jaguar E-Type Zero first debuted in September of 2017, but it's getting a whole heck of a lot more press today than it did then. Welcome to the Royal Family, Jag. Jaguar left as much of the original 1968 Series 1.5 E-Type in tact as possible while replacing the original inline-six engine with an electric motor and battery pack. Enough power is sent to the rear wheels to push this feline from 0-62 in just 5.5 seconds. That means it's quicker now than it was when new and chugging on gasoline. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The E-Type Zero's range of 170 miles is way more than enough to whisk the happy couple away from Windsor Castle to Frogmore House on the Windsor Estate, where Harry's father, the Prince of Wales, is hosting their wedding reception. But if it were to run out of juice, its 40kWh battery can be recharged in under 7 hours. Want one of your own? The Daily Mail says it'll cost GBP350,000 (that's over $470,000 here in the States). Just don't expect a customized license plate to match the date of your wedding. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

London skyscraper caught melting cars

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

A new skyscraper under construction in London is apparently to blame for some mysteriously melting car parts on the city's surrounding streets. The 37-story building at 20 Fenchurch Street, nicknamed the "Walkie Talkie" for how it looks, features a convex side of glass windows that apparently concentrates the sun's rays like a kid with a magnifying glass. Instead of smiting ants, however, the building was caught focusing its sun-sourced laser death beam on an innocent Jaguar XJ parked on Eastcheap street. The intense heat managed to melt a sideview mirror, plastic C-pillar cover and Jaguar emblem (scroll down for an image of the damage).
Fortunately, the construction company, Land Securities, had some scruples and reportedly left a note on the car for its owner reading "Your car's buckled, could you give us a call?" They've also since apologized and agreed to pay for the £946 done - about $1,500 - in damages by their blazing hot building. A joint statement with the Canary Wharf district in which the building's located was also released. In it, the developer acknowledges concerns about the reflected light and says it's looking into the matter. The city has also decided to close a few parking bays that could be in the building's line of fire, so to speak, until a solution can be engineered. Since news of the melting Jag broke, other vehicle owners have also come forward claiming the building, re-nicknamed the "Walkie Scorchie," has damaged their cars, as well.
This isn't the first shiny-new-building-attacks-cars story we've heard - architect Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles was built amidst concern that its polished ribbons of stainless steel were blinding motorists and causing accidents, along with raising the temperatures of nearby buildings with its reflected light. The building's surfaces were later given a matte polish.
