1955 JAGUAR XK140 FHC. 70,343 Miles, Matching Numbers, Running engine, Complete and ready for restoration. Clear North Carolina in my name in hand. For your consideration is my 1955 Jaguar XK140 Fixed Head Coupe. I purchased the car 18 years ago and have kept it in inside storage. The individual I purchased it from, drove it into his garage and parked it ten years before I bought it. After making my living in the repair and restoration of Jaguar's, my life's course has changed and I will not be able to restore it. Engine # G 2230-8 The engine runs well, and has good oil pressure. (I am running it on an auxiliary fuel tank and pump. The fuel tank and lines need cleaning). Services just completed: Cooling system flushed, New Water Pump, Thermostat, Fan belt and Coolant. Points, condenser, rotor replaced. Carburetors rebuilt, new carb insulators. Oil changed (Castrol 20W-50), new oil filter. Gearbox # JL27193 The gearbox shifts and pulls in all gears. Shift knob missing. The Clutch works. Body # J4133 The body is in overall good condition with some rust on the door lower edges. The right door has had some minor body repair and the filler has fallen off. The rear fender front doglegs and sills were replaced by an amateur and shows! The inner sills and left battery supports need replacing. The car was originally White, and was painted Navy Blue. All the glass is good. The rear window chrome trim is in the trunk, but broken in the curve. The right window regulator needs replacing. The wheels are in good condition, and the tires hold air. The Interior is complete and all original. The seat slides operate. All wood and trim is intact. The headliner has a small rip. The sun visors are intact. Most of the Lucas electrical systems work! The car starts with the ignition switch and starter button. The warning lights and gauges work, instrument lighting works, most exterior lights work. Wipers work. The trunk has the Spare Wheel with hold down, Tire tool, Complete tool set, Jack and Grease gun. The tool for opening the spare wheel compartment and package shelf is in place. The chassis is solid, with only surface rust in some places. The Brake Hydraulics need replacing. The exhaust system needs replacing. Overall this is an excellent car for restoration. It is hard to find a Jaguar XK140 this original, so complete, and running. The washer bottle, original air filter assembly, reverse and right park light lens, and gear knob are the only items missing! I have done my best to accurately describe the car. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will assist in whatever way necessary. A $500.00 Paypal deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end. Final payment must be made in Cash at time of pick up, or Bank Wire Transfer or Certified funds.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
Jaguar F-Type 'Design Study' headed to Goodwood
Mon, 08 Jul 2013With the Goodwood Festival of Speed taking place this weekend, Jaguar has announced it will be there with its new trio of R models as well as a design study version of the hot new F-Type sports car. While we've already seen the XFR-S last year at the LA Auto Show and the XJR and XKR-S GT at the New York Auto Show, the F-Type design study has our attention.
Based on our recent sighting of a fixed-roof F-Type being tested in full camouflage, this could mean that we'll finally get to see a sexy F-Type Coupe in near-production form. Of course, with all of the other R branded models on display, Jaguar could also unveil a sporty new R - or maybe even an RS - F-Type roadster. Whatever is planned, it will not be a static display - Jaguar says the design study car will be in action, making the fabled run up Goodwood Hill with chief engineer Mike Cross at the wheel. Scroll down for more information about what Jaguar has planned for Goodwood.
Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
