I Excellent example of the Mark IV. The pictures tell the story. Older paint job, with a few baubles here and
there but an overall nice appearance. Runs great, fires up on first push of starter button after applying some
spark advance. Holds 40 pounds oil pressure on idle. Everything works, lights, horn and gauges. Even the side
semaphore flippers (trafficators) pop out when the turn signal is turned on. Very impressive. I believe the
headlight lenses are from a Rolls Royce, but I have the two cracked originals. The Windshield cranks out okay, but
the seal is rough. Sunroof opens and closes nicely. The interior wood is original and the upholstery has been
redone. Seat frames and hardware are original. All in excellent condition. Seats are very comfortable with back
center armrest. Front seats adjustments work. Wood on doors and dash is excellent for it's age with a few cracks.
Headliner is very nice and could be the original. Windows crank up and down easily. Floors are solid, underneath
looks good. Frame shows no problems. I did have to recondition the front shock links, but the shocks (front and
rear) are in nice operating condition. The car had been stored in a Florida garage for several years and I had to
replace the fuel tank (hard to find and pricey) and clean out the lines. Also rebuilt one of the fuel pumps and
cleaned and tuned the carbs. The motor was overhauled (as evidenced by new freeze plugs) by a previous owner, but
I have no paperwork to show what was done. She runs down the road smoothly with all gears working properly and
brakes doing a good job. I have only driven this car short distances around home, so don't know how it would
perform on a long distance run. I believe one would just have to be patient. The chrome could use some attention
as it is becoming pitted and lacks original luster, but it is all there. Tool box cover has been renewed and looks
very nice. I do not have the tools. Actual mileage is unknown.

Jaguar XFR-S pitted against Mercedes E63 AMG
Wed, 21 Aug 2013It was Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar who got the tough job of comparing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S on the track and sheep-strewn British B-roads. In UK spec both Mephistophelean sedans wrangle the same 542 horsepower, but step out of the corral and things look to weigh heavily in the Mercedes' favor: it has more torque, it's lighter, it's quicker from 0-to-60 and it's less expensive.
But that's on paper. Sutcliffe was given the job to see what effect all those letters and numbers had on the real-world driving experience. One of them is "an absolute hoot at the track" with great steering and weight management, one is "magnificent." To find out which is which, watch the video below.
CMC to produce limited run of Callum's Jaguar Mark 2 [w/video]
Thu, 04 Sep 2014We were a more than a little jealous when designer Ian Callum revealed his Jaguar Mark 2 restomod that he commissioned from Classic Motor Cars. It turns out that we weren't the only ones that dug it - the reaction was so great that CMC got Callum's permission to create a limited run of them for customers. Although, with prices quoted between £350,000 and £375,000 ($572,000 - $613,000), we doubt Ian needs to worry about seeing a copy of his creation pass him too soon.
"Within hours we had received calls from people all over the globe asking if they could buy one," said Peter Neumark, Chairman of CMC in the latest announcement. The reaction came as a surprise to Callum, who said he designed the car entirely to his own specifications and actually wasn't sure if people would like it.
Among Callum's many changes are new bumpers, wider front fenders with functional louvers and less chrome trim. Under the hood is a 4.3-liter six-cylinder fitted with two SU carbs putting out around 260 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. It should be a much better driver too, with a completely re-engineered independent rear suspension, adjustable dampers at all four corners, improved brakes and a new rack and pinion steering system designed by CMC with electric assist.
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.
