My father's 1958 Jaguar XK 150 S Roadster is up for sale. If you are reading this, you are likely aware of the limited nature this car was produced in. Less than 100 are estimated to be left on the planet. It was originally sold in Palm Springs, California and has lived its entire life in the South West. For the record, this is a matching numbers car. See the photo of the verification from Jaguar Cars Limited. We started by disassembling it completely. Everything was organized and inventory was taken. Parts lists were made for what needed refinish, what needed replacement and what was missing. The frame went to Redi Strip in Orange County. The body and the panels were walnut shell blasted for paint removal and lightly frosted with glass beads for mechanical paint bonding. The car had absolutely no rust. Very minor front panel damage was found and was corrected (see photo). The frame was treated to a 3-stage protection and paint process: first a zinc dipping, then a zinc-based powder coating and finally a gloss black powder coating. The body was treated to a zinc-based, metal etching primer and plenty of single-stage PPG paint. The engine was completely disassembled and was treated to a full inspection and rebuild. HydroHead did the work and standard size 3.8 liter pistons were installed. As a 1958 model year car, this is a 3.4 liter engine originally, but since the bores needed cleaning up, we opted to size it to the 3.8 liter bore. The carburetors were ultrasound cleaned and completely rebuilt, including full polishing. The exhaust manifolds were sandblasted and treated to black enamel. The exhaust system is all stainless steel. The original gas tank showed its age, so a fabricator produced an identical unit to the original in stainless steel. You won't find any of these around.. The transmission and the electric overdrive had seals and bearings replaced, but were otherwise intact. A new clutch was installed along with the throwout bearing and the slave cylinder. Pages and pages of fresh rubber, bushings, bearings, gators, interior trim and bits & pieces were hunted down from around the globe. Whenever we were abroad, new contacts were sought out for sourcing of parts. The wire wheels' hubs and rims were re-chromed and stainless steel spokes were used to re-lace them. Once the axle and suspension was assembled so the frame could roll again, the drivetrain was placed in the frame for fitment and functionality. A 'firewall' was built as well as a 'bench seat' and the car took its first drive. This was an exiting moment in the process. Once the drivetrain was proven, the finished body was placed on the frame. Now came the interior: An upholsterer was commissioned to fabricate an exact replica of the original interior in taupe leather. This interior is gorgeous. He also fabricated the soft top for the car. Clearly a skilled human. The instruments were all restored to new condition, while maintaining the original settings for the odometer. The steering wheel was restored to original condition as well. Once the interior was completed, the remaining chrome trim pieces were fitted both to interior as well as exterior. Many hours were spent tuning, adjusting, aligning and finishing the car as a whole. To date, we have taken it to a few shows and driven it a bit, but my estimate is that the car has not seen more than 2000 miles since the complete restoration. In closing, I can state that one final task remains regarding the car: we have never color sanded and polished the car after it was painted. It was our intent to do this when the car was complete, but in truth we find the paint job completely satisfying as it stands. For the time, we have decided to let the next owner fulfill this task to his liking. Better to leave all the material on the car at this point. We have all documentation from the restoration and also the documentation certifying the originality of the car. The restoration was completed around 2000 and the car has been covered and stored in my father's garage whenever we weren't showing it or driving it. It has never seen a rainy day! His black 1963 E-type has been caught in the wet once or twice though. The second to last photo is from when we bought the car. The last photo is the documentation paper from Jaguar Cars Limited. Any further information/details/etc, please contact me through eBay messaging. I will be happy to assist.

Here's today's round of auto plant closures in response to coronavirus
Fri, Mar 20 2020More automakers have shuttered factories, as businesses everywhere work to slow the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus — and as the pandemic slows sales and disrupts parts supply chains. On Friday, the following closures were announced: • Volvo will close its factories in Sweden and the United States from March 26 to April 14. Volvo's U.S. facility, in Charleston, South Carolina, makes the S60 sedan. Its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden, turns out the XC90, SC60, and V90. Other Swedish facilities make engines and component parts. A Volvo factory in Ghent, Belgium, that builds the XC40 and V60 closed earlier this week and is expected to remain offline until April 6. Volvo's four factories in China have been reopened after a shutdown earlier this year. • Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will suspend production at its assembly plants in the UK over the coming week. The shutdown is expected to last until April 20. Elsewhere, production continues at the company's factories in India and Brazil, and JLR's joint-venture plant in China reopened at the end of February. • Bentley is closing its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks, effective today. • Bugatti has put its atelier in Molsheim, France, on hiatus. No date was given for when assembly of its supercars might resume. • Mercedes-Benz on Monday will shut down its SUV factory in Alabama and its van assembly plant in South Carolina. Both will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks. Tesla yesterday revealed that it will suspend operations at its Fremont, California, vehicle assembly plant next week, on order from local officials there. Yesterday's factory closure announcements also included the U.S. assembly plants for Toyota (until April 6), Volkswagen (through March 29), Subaru (through March 29), and Hyundai (no time period specified). They join GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Harley-Davidson, which earlier this week announced the suspension of production at their facilities.

2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake is one hot hauler
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Oh look, another super-hot wagon that won't be making its way to the US. Awesome.
Actually, in all honesty, it really is awesome. Meet the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, a red-hot (or blue-hot?) version of the rakish XF wagon that originally bowed at the Geneva Motor Show back in 2012. The formula here is pretty much plug-and-play: take the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XFR-S and shove it in the wagon body, and add all of the necessary visual flair fitting of a properly powerful Jag. The end result is an estate that packs 542 horsepower, 502 pound-feet of torque, and the ability to sprint to 60 miles per hour in a scant 4.6 seconds. Meow.
This Jaguar joins a growing segment of ultra-hot wagons in Europe, rounded out by offerings like the Audi RS6 Avant and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG longroof - the latter of which you can actually buy in North America. Sounds like the sort of comparison test we'd love to facilitate. Guess we'll have to leave that to our friends at Autocar, though.
