1952 Jaguar Xk 120 One Owner on 2040-cars
Willis Wharf, Virginia, United States
|
You are bidding on a one owner 1952 Jaguar XK 120. I am listing this for a friend who's father just passed away at age 98. I am sorry that the photos of the car are not better. It is in a storage shed and the lighting was poor. We believe that ever part is there to due a full restoration. As you can see in the photos each box is labeled. He saved the leather so new pieces could be cut. The windshield is there but it is cracked. You can use it as a pattern. Below is the description that the son in law wrote up.
This XK 120 was bought new 8/15/1952 by its current owner and is original with all matching numbers and the original title. The car was driven regularly until the early 1970's when it was placed in covered storage awaiting restoration. In the mid-1980's the owner, a retired engineer at Fairchild Aircraft Manufactures, began restoration. The goal of the restoration was to return the car to driving condition and resume regular use. The car was disassembled and the work on the mechanicals was undertaken. The engine and transmission were overhauled and returned to full working condition. The brake and suspension were overhauled. All body rust was repaired and the door sills on both sides were replaced. The drivetrain was reinstalled in the body. At that point, in the early 1990's, work was halted due to various personal reasons and the car was returned to covered storage where it has remained until now. The owner has recently died at age 98 and the car is being offered for sale by his estate. The car is believed to be 100% complete, and except for the replaced sills, is completely original. The body is in excellent condition with most of the original paint mostly intact. While still being driven, the car suffered a minor fender bender and there is damage to the left front fender and front valance. The convertible roof framing is complete, but the canvas has rotted away. The car has the original steel wire wheels but the tires are rotted. The original wooden floor boards are available, along with a new replacement made from epoxy coated marine plywood. A number of reference materials are also available, including shop manuals. There is also a manual that the owner made up that has drawings of many of the parts on the car and how they are installed. From my observation the floor of the trunk was replaced. I do not know if the car will roll. I would suggest bring wheels with tires and maybe it will roll without much problem. This car is sold as is, where is. We will help get it out of the storage shed and across the lawn to the transport truck. A good neighbor and friend has had this in their shed for a quarter century. And we want to make sure their lawn is not damaged when the car is removed. The car is located in Hagerstown Md. If you are very serious and want to make a offer before the auction ends and need to see the car we can arrange that. Otherwise the car is not available for viewing. $500 through PayPal within 24 hours of end of auction. Balance due within 5 days of end of auction. PayPal, Bank check or cash. We would like the car picked up within 7 days after auction ends. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. |

Jaguar C-X17 Concept teased before Frankfurt
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10, Jaguar is teasing the reveal of a design study to introduce its new advanced vehicle architecture. Dubbed the C-X17, the mysterious concept "illustrates the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand."
While it's not entirely clear what this architecture involves or what type of vehicle the C-X17 may be, this reveal is reminiscent of Jaguar's decision to unveil the C-X16 concept, a hybrid electric sports car, in Frankfurt in 2011. From the looks of the teaser image Jaguar released (click above to enlarge), we're guessing the C-X17 will be something between a low-slung crossover and a sporty wagon. But we won't have to wait too long to find out - Jaguar is streaming the live pre-show reveal to invited guests on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 9.
In addition to the C-X17, Jaguar be showing off the performance-oriented XJR and XFR-S, and, of course, the F-Type convertible. Scroll down for the official press release.
Jaguar F-Pace SUV teased on YouTube [UPDATE]
Wed, Jun 24 2015UPDATE: Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America's VP of communications, reached out and explained that the Detroit section of the F-Pace video was recycled from the car's confirmation announcement at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, shown here. "There is 100 percent no subliminal message and Frankfurt is the debut location," Schorr told Autoblog. The story has been edited to reflect this information. With the Jaguar F-Pace slated to debut in less than 90 days, at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the teasers are starting to ramp up. That means videos like this, featuring Jaguar design master Ian Callum, which give us short, sweet peeks at the British brand's very first crossover. The big teasers come in the form of Callum's drawings of the F-Pace, combined with short clips of its headlights and taillights as it zooms around the streets of downtown Detroit. That said, none of the images shown are so dramatically different from the C-X17 Concept, the vehicle that previewed the production model and makes an appearance here. We aren't really sure why the Motor City features in the teaser, considering the F-Pace is being unveiled in Germany, but one of the final sequences sees a set of taillights streak past Cobo Center, home of the annual Detroit Auto Show. It's a weird decision to be sure, and leaves us wondering just how much truth there is to reports of the Frankfurt debut. Why would Jag make such a decision if the D weren't going to play some role in the car's future? Take a look at the video up top, and let us know what you think of Jag's first F-Pace teaser. Is there any particular design detail we missed? What do you think of the potential Detroit connection? Head into Comments and let us know.
Jaguar planning all-electric E-Pace crossover
Mon, Oct 26 2015Jaguar hasn't quite finished rolling out the new F-Pace (pictured above), and already reports are circulating of another crossover model to join it in the near future. According to Automobile, it'll be called the E-Pace. Here's the kicker: it'll be all-electric. The E-Pace would take advantage of ultra-efficient aerodynamics in order to drop its drag coefficient to just 0.28 g, thereby increasing efficiency. It'd also be the first fully electric model from Jaguar, and would likely be even smaller than the sporty new F-Pace. Through-the-road all-wheel drive would give it poor weather traction, and the electric motors would provide plenty of low-end punch. The model would go up against the Tesla Model X and a potential production version of the Audi E-Tron Quattro concept revealed in Frankfurt. Rather than handle production in-house, the E-Pace could emerge as the mysterious upcoming model which Jaguar Land Rover is planning to have Magna Steyr build on its behalf. The factory in Graz, Austria has long built the G-Class for Mercedes-Benz, continues to assemble the Mini Countryman, and has also handled models like the Aston Martin Rapide and BMW X3. Automobile figures that Jaguar would need to make at least 20,000 units each year to make the model profitable. For comparison's sake, Tesla is projected to move about 33,000 Model S units in 2015. Even if the E-Pace falls short of this target, the project could be worthwhile for JLR purely for publicity purposes and to help cut its average fleet emissions. Related Video:
