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.

Jaguar Project 7 concept is an F-Type in a D-Type mold [w/video]
Wed, 10 Jul 2013In addition to the XJR, XFR-S and XKR-S GT models Jaguar is bringing to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, the manufacturer announced that the F-Type-based, D-Type-inspired Project 7 design study will make its "dynamic" debut at the festival, with driving duties assigned to Mike Cross, Jaguar's chief engineer of vehicle integrity. Here's the cool part: With Jaguar's Director of Design, Ian Callum, leading the team responsible for Project 7, it went from the drawing board to track testing in only four months, Jaguar states, with a claimed 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds and top speed of 186 miles per hour.
Project 7, which was named in honor of Jaguar's seven wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, will be making runs up the hill at Goodwood over all three days of the festival, which starts at the Goodwood House in West Sussex, England, this Friday.
Far from a fragile concept car, Jaguar says, the single-seat Project 7 is a fully functional sports car. It uses the all-aluminum chassis and body of the F-Type, retains that car's 550-horsepower, supercharged 5.0-liter V8 and eight-speed automatic transmission but features lots of bespoke carbon fiber aerodynamic bits, some of which were inspired by the Le Mans-winning D-Type of the 1950s. The most obvious nod to that classic is the rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop - the F-Type's convertible top is gone. The windshield was also lowered, giving the roadster a more rakish silhouette as it sits on 20-inch forged-alloy wheels with carbon fiber inserts.
2019 Jaguar XJ50 is a supercharged birthday present
Wed, Apr 25 2018Jaguar is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its elegant luxury sedan, the XJ, with a stylish and supercharged new model called the XJ50. This nod to eight generations of XJ comes in long-wheelbase format and is powered by either a 340-horsepower supercharged V6, or snarling 470-hp supercharged V8. While the V6 model is available with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, the more powerful V8 is offered only in rear-wheel drive form. Revealed for the first time at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show, the XJ50 is visually separated by the standard XJ sedan by having unique front and rear bumpers, a gloss black grille, special badges on the side vents, along with 20-inch alloy wheels with a gloss black diamond turned finish. Four colors will be available: Rosello Red, Santorini Black, Fuji White, and Loire Blue. How something along the lines of British Racing Green didn't make the cut remains a marketing mystery, however. This content is hosted by a third party.

The XJ50 cabin is fitted with unique touches like an XJ50 logo on the front center armrest, illuminated XJ50-branded treadplates, diamond-quilted seats with the Jaguar leaper logo on the headrests, along with metal pedals and aluminum shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. "This is a car worth celebrating and the XJ50 pays homage to a giant within the Jaguar brand that we believe is one of the world's most stylish sporting saloons," said Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design. While only the most jaded automotive Grinch wouldn't enjoy a birthday celebration -- really, who doesn't like cake with their illuminated treadplates(?) -- there's a sense the XJ50 marks the end of the road for the brand's long-serving luxury sedan. Rumors persist that the XJ will soon migrate to an all-electric platform, to compete directly against cars like the Tesla Model S and upcoming Porsche Mission E. Jaguar did not release an exact price of the 2019 XJ50, though a long-wheelbase XJ with the 340-hp V6 and rear-wheel drive carries a starting price of approximately $84,500.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace
Mon, 24 Jun 2013YouTuber 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.
