1955 Jaguar XK-140 Original Body, Chassis & Gearbox upgraded 3.8 liter 220 bhp Jaugar MII engine. Check out the video Click on arrow to go to full screen. 1955 Jaguar XK-140 First before describing this fabulous Jaguar XK-140 Roadster, MissChiTown would like to give a little of its philosophy on post war European sports car collecting. Many collectors have found that while the pre-war cars are very attractive in their styling and design, the idea of driving them on modern roads and highways is cumbersome and sometimes dangerous. Many of these collectors have turned to post-war sports cars, as they are the beginning of the standard of meeting modern road speeds, handling and stopping requirements. The XK-140 Jaguar roadster in this ad is not only visually voted
one of the ten most beautiful European post-war sports cars ever designed but
it has also been upgraded by its owner so that it is a full, reliable,
comfortable and dependable tour car with such improvements as an upgraded
larger Jaguar 3.8 liter 220 bhp Jaguar MII engine. Upgraded bucket leather seats (a Jaguar
option). A fabulous paint job in
one of the most striking colors, Ecurie Ecosse (Scottish Flag Blue) a Jaguar
LeMans racing color. Yes this is a car that has it all – design, road capabilities and charisma. While this car looks like a first place winner and the upgrades are improvements for modern and fast highway speeds in a very comfortable manner. The seller has provided the following description of the 1955 Jaguar XK-140 Roadster in detail and we suggest that you also view the video to get a flavor of just how attractive this Jaguar roadster is to the eye of the beholder. The seller has told us that the car has been upgraded with a Jaguar 3.8 liter 220 bhp Jaguar MII engine and is a strong engine with excellent oil pressure. There are 67,350 miles showing on odometer - actual unknown. The seller has told us that this is a fun driver and he enjoys winning awards with the car at the British Car Club shows. Original Body, Chassis & Gearbox. Original 4-speed transmission. IMPROVEMENTS MADE OVER THE PAST

Jaguar XF gets performance-look R-Sport trim
Wed, 26 Feb 2014If you're looking for all the style of a sports sedan but without the added expense of springing for a full-on performance model (and keeping it fed with fuel and fresh tires), most European automakers will gladly hook you up with an all-show, no-go package. BMW has its M-Sport aero kits, Audi its S-Line, and Mercedes its AMG Sport packs. And now Jaguar is getting in on the action with the launch of the new R-Sport line.
Set to be introduced on the XF at the Geneva Motor Show, the R-Sport trim at least some of the flash of the XFR or XFR-S but with a more economical engine and a relatively accessible price of entry. (This is, after all, still a Jag.) The XF R-Sport is distinguished by a sportier front bumper, side sills, rear spoiler, 17-inch wheels and unique badging to set it apart from any "ordinary" Jaguar XF. The interior is upgraded as well, and there's an optional black styling pack to take things even further.
Jaguar is offering the XF R-Sport in either sedan or wagon form with the 2.2-liter turbodiesel producing 161 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, fitted with a spot-start system to make it a far more frugal option than the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 in the real deal. Although this version won't be coming to US as you see it here, Jaguar tells Autoblog it's always possible it'll produce a similar aesthetic treatment for the North American market - just don't count on such models arriving under diesel motivation. We'll take a closer look at them in Geneva next week, but for now, you can check out the gallery and press release below for an idea of what to expect.
Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index
Sun, 06 Jul 2014A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.
Jaguar to expand Jaguar XKR-S GT production run?
Wed, 10 Apr 2013According to a report in Autocar, demand for the Jaguar XKR-S GT is such that the English company could nearly double production from 30 to 50 cars. Such inflation can often incense those have already put deposits down, worried that they've both been lied to about the potentially diminished values of their cars, but Jaguar has made the announcement barely a day after the XKR-S GT was revealed and 50 still isn't that many vehicles.
Nothing in the Autocar report indicates the additional examples will not come to America, making the 500-horsepower superfast coupe a treat we can still call all our own. Jaguar didn't add horsepower but instead honed other aspects of the car to produce a GT that can lap the 'Ring nearly as quickly as a Ferrari 458 Italia, and the world should be the beneficiary, the company's brand director saying, "The real beauty of this project has been that it has extended our understanding of the elements involved in making a car go so fast, and that will feed back into all our road car programs." Sounds good to us.
