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***

2014 Jaguar XJL AWD 3.0

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

A bit of British nobility floods the senses when piloting the 2014 Jaguar XJ. It's an emotional rush, a perception based on physical surroundings that influence the mind in much the same manner that a stein of pilsner tastes best when consumed in a German beer garden and no sand is softer than that found on a warm Caribbean beach. Jaguar has been assembling cars for nearly 100 years, and few automakers are as equally adept at capturing aristocracy and timelessness within the rich cabins of their luxury offerings.
Jaguar would have no concern if it were the only game in town, but that's far from the truth. The premium full-size luxury segment, which includes vehicles hovering just under or at the six-figure mark, is a contentious grouping that includes the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Porsche Panamera. Each of those brings its own game to the battle, and none are easy to dismiss.
To better understand the British perspective and evaluate its latest offering on a land without royalty, I recently spent a week with a long-wheelbase, all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ in Southern California.

Watch Jaguar build its XJR Rapid Response Vehicle for Bloodhound SSC

Fri, Jun 19 2015

Last month, Jaguar revealed an F-Type specially equipped to serve as a Rapid Response Vehicle for the Bloodhound SSC. Now it's rolled out a pair of XJRs kitted out for the same purpose. Set to debut when test pilot Andy Green drives one up the hill at Goodwood later this month, the Jaguar XJR Rapid Response Vehicle has been equipped by Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations division. As you can see, it's got a special livery of blue and orange to mimic the rocket- and jet-powered streamliner's own color scheme, and has been stripped out and fitted with a roll cage and specially crafted tools for the land speed record attempt. Of course, the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 carries over with its 550 horsepower to propel it to 60 in 4.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 174 miles per hour. Alongside the F-Type – which recently undertook a parachute deployment test – the pair of XJR Rapid Response Vehicles will be on hand in South Africa when the Bloodhound attempts to break the land speed record as well as the sound barrier on dry land. Check out the build process in the video. Jaguar Rapid Response Vehicles for Bloodhound SSC to Star at Goodwood Festival of Speed - Bespoke Jaguar XJR Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) for Bloodhound SSC to make dynamic world debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed - Current world land speed record holder Andy Green to drive the 16MY XJR RRV up the Goodwood hill on Saturday 27 June 2015 - Bloodhound's RRV Fleet now includes two XJRs and an F-TYPE custom-built by Jaguar Land Rover's Special Operations team - Jaguar's history in supporting world land speed records dates back to 1983 with an XJ12 for Richard Noble's record attempt in Thrust 2 Jaguar is to further showcase its commitment as Technical and Innovation Partner to the Bloodhound Project with the world debut of its custom-built XJR Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) at Goodwood Festival of Speed, alongside the recently unveiled F-TYPE R AWD RRV.

The two new additions to Bloodhound's fleet are the latest creation of Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division and are wrapped in a bespoke livery created by Jaguar Design incorporating the Bloodhound SSC colours.
