For your consideration is my 1956 Jaguar XK140 fhc MC, Matching Numbers with Overdrive  This is a very special, black plate, California car when considering the rarity and the amount of money already spend on mechanics and restoration.  I have over 11,000 USD in receipts documenting the work that has been done on this car over the years.  Original Black plates included.  NO ROT or "knee-high" drama with this cat.  This has always been a west coast car until I acquired this Jaguar and the body is simply exquisite as a restoration candidate.  No metal replacement, no new body panels, SOLID rockers, pillar posts, etc.  This is, in my opinion, the biggest selling point of this cat, and the fact that the engine has been completely rebuilt and purrs as it should.  Complete car, including original radio, all removable panels, and many new parts as well.

As the Jaguar Trust Certificate shows, this is a very rare, Red on Red/Biscuit two-tone color combination Jaguar.  I'll spare everyone the history of this car..if you are reading this, you are well aware of its rarity and blue-chip potential. The car is comprehensively original, minus some restoration that started a last summer.  This Jaguar purrs like a Jaguar should and has been driven during the summer months.  Yes, car runs and drives and I have enjoyed it on nice days as some restoration took place.  

Here is what has been accomplished on this Jaguar thus far: (over 11K of receipts)

1-  Rebuilt engine
2-  All brake components including re-sleeving wheel cylinders, etc. had been rebuilt and/or new parts.
3-  All removable panels, including mud guards front and rear, battery boxes, spare tire boot, panels on right/left of engine compartment, transmission tunnel, driveshaft tunnel have been media blasted and powder coated black!
4-  Transmission Tunnel and driveshaft tunnel are now fully removable to accommodate removal of transmission without pulling motor and transmission per Jaguar spec.
5-  FULL stainless steel exhaust
6-  Trunk compartment is completely media blasted, epoxy primed, restored, and painted using Diamont single stage Enamel.  Paint will go with car.  I decided to go with the 56' CARMINE Red instead of the Carmen red on the exterior of the car currently.  My intention was to fit the Jaguar with the Red interior with Biscuit centers on the seats per original specs and the Carmine Red deep hue seemed such a better combination than the orangey-red on the car now.  
7-  All new wood floors and spare tyre lid.  
8-  AlUMINUM gas tank fitted to increase the look of this MC model
9-  New Mallory dual point mechanical distributor- huge improvement on performance of engine.
9-  Front windshield chrome is accounted for, rear window chrome is accounted for, rear tail light assemblies, etc.  Everything that was removed to begin trunk restoration is accounted for and will go with car.  

I have many new parts that go with the Jaguar as well, including Rear chrome strip on boot lid of jaguar, front floor jack covers, body rubbers, bolts, marker light assemblies, etc.  Everything will go with car.  Original steel gas tank and distributor are accounted for as well.  

Note:  only damage that I have seen in the the body is the passenger side rear fender.  It has a skim coat of alumilead on the rear section of the fender.  The rear must have been bumped at one time.  The metal is all good and strong on the back side.  I began to strip both rear quarters to make sure there were no surprises.  

I believe this Jaguar will make someone very very enthusiastic about owning and hopefully restoring her as she is enjoyed.  You will be getting a solid, matching numbers, running and driving semi-restored Jaguar.  I hope the pictures speak for themselves and please feel free to request any further pics.  I will be happy to prepare car for international shipping- all shipping is responsibility of buyer.  Jaguar is for sale locally and I reserve right to end auction at any time.  Any questions please call 315 313-8300.  


*** Winning bidder will have first rights to a spare matching numbers MC engine (matching C type head and block numbers) and Manual transmission with O/D***

Jaguar reveals upcoming XE's InControl infotainment system [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Jaguar has been keeping busy lately, rolling out both the new Lightweight E-Type and F-Type Project 7 at Pebble Beach this past weekend. But the more important project for the British automaker is the upcoming new XE.
Coventry has been releasing a steady stream of information and teasers on its new 3 Series challenger, and has now revealed details of the new infotainment system that will debut in the XE. Called InControl, the system centers around an eight-inch touchscreen and integrates with smartphones (running both iOS and Android) through the InControl Remote and InControl Apps. The system will allow drivers to pre-set the climate control for each day of the week, lock and unlock the doors and start the engine remotely.
It'll also include an on-board wifi hotspot to connect multiple devices and a laser-based head-up display that you can scope out in the graphic above as well as the video and press release below in advance of the XE's upcoming debut in London on September 8.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe proves sexy can't be disguised

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

Jaguar's new F-Type is a pretty potent little pouncer. And while we do love a good roadster, many of us at Autoblog are perhaps more excited about the upcoming hardtop version of Jag's stylish new entry-level sports car. Why? Because even here in heavily camouflaged prototype form, the thing looks really, really good - the sleek roofline blending rather nicely into the F-Type's shapely rump, allowing for better distinction of its pronounced hips over the rear wheel wells.
Mechanically speaking, the F-Type Coupe should be identical to its droptop sibling. That means the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engine lineup should carry over unchanged, though we've heard rumors about a four-cylinder application as well. There's also talk of hotter R, R-S or R-S GT models coming down the pipeline, and based on what we've experienced in things like the XKR-S, we certainly can't deny the allure of such a model.
It's unclear exactly when Jaguar will show the production F-Type Coupe (at the Frankfurt Motor Show, perhaps?), but the car is expected to go on sale sometime in 2014. Check it out in our latest spy gallery, above.

Jaguar Land Rover opens new $1.6 billion factory in Slovakia

Thu, Oct 25 2018

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Jaguar Land Rover is opening a new, $1.6 billion plant in Slovakia, the luxury car maker's first in continental Europe. The U.K.-based company, owned by India's Tata Motors, built the plant near Nitra, about 65 miles east of Bratislava, to initially produce 150,000 cars a year. The Slovak government is giving the carmaker investment subsidies of up to 130 million euros ($148 million). Slovakia is a regional car-making powerhouse. Germany's Volkswagen AG, France's PSA Peugeot Citroen and South Korea's Kia Motors all have a major plant in this Central European country of 5.4 million people. The company said it will shift all production of its Discovery model from Birmingham, England, to Slovakia amid falling diesel sales, vehicle taxes and uncertainty about Britain's Brexit departure from the European Union.Related Video:
