Here we have offered a beautiful 1954 Jaguar XK 120 SE ready for show or just to drive. It has been in our collection for the past 20 years and has been restored for the past 12 years. The car still shows as nice as the day it rolled out of our shop. The car is a very classy driver and will turn heads at every show you go to. It recently did an add in two magazines which you can see in the pictures section. It is a very rare Southern California car ready for a new home.
I will break the car down to its parts to make it easier and to show all the work that has been done to this stunning Jaguar. Paint and Body: When we started to restore this car it came to use from dry storage out of Palmdale, CA. It was complete but needed alot of attention. We have a picture book of when it arrived all the way through paint to show the metal work and paint process we went through. The book will be included with the sale. The car was completely striped down the bare metal. The only damage that needed repair was the drivers side front fender which was pounded out and metal finished before primer was applied. The whole car was sprayed a gloss coat of black and block sanded down to make sure it was smooth as silk. The two stage Urethane red metallic was then applied and cut and buffed to a glossy shine. Over the years it was gotten a few bumps and nicks on edges but nothing even minor or that hasnt been brush touched. At the time of restoration all the chrome was replated. and original hardware was restored and replaced. Interior: The interior in this car is a thing of beauty! It received a full english tan leather interior that one concours judge quoted as just flawless. The bently wool carpet to match was run over the floor and continues into the trunk area. The dash was wrapped in the same leather with all the gauges being restored and fully functional. The car also had a complete new wiring harness installed along with new cables as well. The steering wheel was repainted a gloss black and new turn signal assembly. There is a fully restored top that does come with the car but we have never had it installed. It was fitted and trimmed before the car was painted. I do not have the side curtins but they are available from Jag parts people. The lights all Work as do the turn signals. The horn does not work but everything is there and the same goes for the windshield wipers. Engine and drivetrain: The Engine is a later XKE 3.8 Litter inline 6 engine that was completely rebuilt and installed with the 3.4 correct intake, carbs and exhaust manifold. It is better motor for the car but is it not correct. We do have the numbers matching motor but it would need a full overhaul and that is something I can work out with the new owner. The motor runs perfectly and idles like a dream. It curently has 86 miles on it since being restored . The car does have Stainless dual exhaust that sings down the road. The Original numbers matching Moss 4 speed transmission and rear end were both left in the car and had their fluids changed. Wheels and Tires: Being a SE (special edition) car it was a factory item to have wire wheels. We opted to have the chrome wire wheels with chrome knock offs to set this car apart. They are wrapped up in new Bias ply tires that actually hold this car to the road very well. The brakes were also completely gone through and because of that it now stops on a dime! Any extras: The car does have some small flaws but in no way detracts from the over all beauty of it. When your behind the wheel of this Jaguar all your problems will disappear and you will have a huge smile on your face. I always tell people when you are on the freeway and hit 4th gear and hear the note of the exhaust and the wind blowing over the wind screen.... it takes you to another place. Im very impressed with this car. It shows well. It drives even better. I truely hate to part with it but the time has come where you have to let a new owner enjoy it as much as you have. If you have any questions feel free to email me. I can also send you my contact number. I welcome anyone to come inspect the car also before auctions end. I do have it listed locally so the auction could come to an end before. |

Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
Jaguar XF gets performance-look R-Sport trim
Wed, 26 Feb 2014If you're looking for all the style of a sports sedan but without the added expense of springing for a full-on performance model (and keeping it fed with fuel and fresh tires), most European automakers will gladly hook you up with an all-show, no-go package. BMW has its M-Sport aero kits, Audi its S-Line, and Mercedes its AMG Sport packs. And now Jaguar is getting in on the action with the launch of the new R-Sport line.
Set to be introduced on the XF at the Geneva Motor Show, the R-Sport trim at least some of the flash of the XFR or XFR-S but with a more economical engine and a relatively accessible price of entry. (This is, after all, still a Jag.) The XF R-Sport is distinguished by a sportier front bumper, side sills, rear spoiler, 17-inch wheels and unique badging to set it apart from any "ordinary" Jaguar XF. The interior is upgraded as well, and there's an optional black styling pack to take things even further.
Jaguar is offering the XF R-Sport in either sedan or wagon form with the 2.2-liter turbodiesel producing 161 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, fitted with a spot-start system to make it a far more frugal option than the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 in the real deal. Although this version won't be coming to US as you see it here, Jaguar tells Autoblog it's always possible it'll produce a similar aesthetic treatment for the North American market - just don't count on such models arriving under diesel motivation. We'll take a closer look at them in Geneva next week, but for now, you can check out the gallery and press release below for an idea of what to expect.
Jaguar XK to cease production this summer
Mon, 10 Mar 2014With the introduction of the F-Type coupe and convertible, Jaguar has cleared room in its sports car lineup to drop the XK for new models. "There will be a 2015 model year XK, but the rumors are true, production for the XK will end later this year after eight years," said Wayne York Kung, Jaguar USA National Product Communications Manager, in an email to Autoblog. A replacement for the GT might be a very long way off.
The automaker told Auto Express that it's part of a "wider strategic vision and product planning cycle." Ending assembly will allow the feline luxury brand to build better-selling vehicles like the XE, its upcoming BMW 3 Series fighter. The new sedan is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2015 and in the US in 2016. It also needs to make room for the C-X17 crossover to be built, which is likely expected to sell better than a 2+2 GT car.
"There are no immediate plans to replace the XK," said Kung in his email. Jag was rumored to be considering moving a future generation of it upmarket. The new model would have been a bigger, softer grand tourer and allow the F-Type to be the brand's more hardcore sports car.
