1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster / convertible replica. It was built in 2007 by a company called
Antique and Collectibles Autos Inc. Since being built it has had a lot of custom work done including suspension,
exhaust,engine, transmission, interior, stereo, wheels and under hood chrome. There were only 6,400 real XK120's
built between 1948-1954. One in this condition would of course be worth over $200,000. By the way this has been a
dry weather California car since new.

There were only a few companies that offered these kits in the 80's and 90's. Antiques and collectibles of New York
made the highest quality and closest resemblance of the real deal. They stopped offering the XK120 kit in 2007 but
still offer many other kit cars to this day(this happens to be the last 1952 XK120 they ever made). The Antique and
Collectibles kits are the most sought after, have the highest resale and are becoming very hard to find. This is
the only one I have actually ever seen that is what you would call a resto mod.

The cars body is made of hand laid fiberglass coated with British racing green gel coat which is much more durable
than automotive paint(you use boat wax to polish it). These were made to use a Mustang 11 as a donor for the
engine, drive train, electrical and suspension. That wasn't the case with this one. The suspension, rear brakes,
steering, wiring harness and rear end are all Ford. The engine, transmission, front brakes and custom modified
drive shaft are all Chevy.

The suspension/drive train didn't come from a used donor car like you will find with most of these kit cars. This
kit was built using all new parts. The car has only 8.500 kilometers(a little over 5,000 original miles) since
built in 2007. The engine, transmission, suspension, wheels/tires, performance upgrades, chrome accessories and
exhaust have less than 2,000 miles on them. This car is California smog exempt(titled as a specialty car) and has a
B.A.R. identification tag on the fire wall to prove it

Jaguar Land Rover gets to work on new university R&D center

Fri, Mar 20 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has a raft of new products in the pipeline, from the new Defender to the next-generation XF sedan. But new product isn't the only thing the British automaker is investing in: it's also opening new facilities around the world, including what it's calling the National Automotive Innovation Centre back home in the UK. Based at the University of Warwick, the new $220-million R&D center is the result of a joint effort between JLR, its parent company Tata, the manufacturing arm of the university and the British government. The facility will bring together professionals from the automaker as well as its suppliers with academics to encourage, as the name suggests, innovation in the automotive sector. Its 355,000 square feet are earmarked to become the hub for Jaguar Land Rover's advanced research activities, including "workshops, laboratories, virtual engineering suites and advanced powertrain facilities, equipped to enable a full range of design, visualisation and prototyping activities." The cornerstore was just laid in a ceremony this week, but the facility isn't due to open until the Spring of 2017 when it will encompass some 1,000 employees, including 600 relocated by JLR to the new location from other sites in the UK.

Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.

Jaguar to reveal small sedan at Paris show

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Small sedans are big business for luxury automakers. The C-Class is the top seller for Mercedes-Benz, much as the 3 Series is for BMW, but Jaguar has historically missed out on that market. Its last attempt, the X-Type, proved woefully inadequate, and Jaguar hasn't attempted to take on that market again since. But that's all about to change.
Coventry has been working on a new small Jaguar for some time now (using test mules like the one above wearing modified XF body panels), and according to the latest reports coming in from the UK, it will showcase the result of those efforts at the Paris Motor Show next October. The show car will take the form of a pre-production concept that is expected to preview the production version very closely before the final item is unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
Tipped to be called XS (somewhat appropriately for the brand's smallest model), the new sedan is expected to be the first to use the company's new aluminum platform previewed by the C-X17. Expect styling to follow along similar lines to said crossover concept and the F-Type sportscar, with eventual sedan, wagon and coupe versions to round out the family.
