1954 Jaguar Xk120 Ots Roadster -- Garage Find on 2040-cars
Brunswick, Georgia, United States
You
are bidding on a 1954 Jaguar XK120 OTS roadster.
HISTORY -- This car was purchased by a young man in the early
‘60s. In 1964 he was drafted into the US
Army, so he stored this car in his parents garage with the plan to get it back
out when he returned from his stint in the army. He was sent to
MECHANICAL – When I bought the car 2 years ago, the oil was
changed and we were able to get it running fairly easily by using an external
fuel source. The engine sounded good and
there was no smoke, although we didn’t run it for longer than a minute or so
because there was no coolant added. It
has not been started since that time.
BODY
– This is one of the most rust-free old cars I’ve ever seen. There is no rust in the frame, body, fenders,
fender wells, sills, bottoms of the doors, trunk, spare tire area, etc. The only rust I could find anywhere were a
couple very small holes behind the rocker panels in an obscure area. It doesn’t appear that the car has ever been
in an accident. When sighting along the
slab sides of the car, there are no ripples anywhere. It is as straight as an arrow. Everything fits up nicely too. The original color of the car was black with
red interior. There has never been any
attempt at a restoration on this car in the past. The current green paint was added in the
early ‘60s.
I
have the Heritage Certificate for the car which verifies that it is a complete,
numbers-matching car throughout, including the original engine, cylinder head, and
transmission.
I
purchased a complete set of interior for the car in the correct red color from
Heritage Jaguar interiors in
I
expect payment within 5 days of the end of the auction. The car can be picked up after your check has
cleared my bank. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I can give
the name of a good, reliable shipper if you wish. NOTE: Buyer
will be given a Bill of Sale and a DelawareTitle for this car

Land Rover planning SVX hardcore off-roaders
Sun, May 3 2015The new Special Vehicle Operations division at Jaguar Land Rover has already given us an array of ultimate wheeled creations, but it isn't quite done yet. Next, according to Car and Driver, will be a new line of SVX models. Not to be confused with the Subaru coupe from the 1990s (which also had all-wheel drive, come to think of it), Land Rover's SVX models will be hardcore off-roaders. Details are few and far between at the moment, but they're said to take inspiration from rough-terrain events like the Dakar Rally and Camel Trophy as inspiration – different from the Ford F-150 Raptor that takes its cues from the Baja 1000. Last we heard, Land Rover was planning a hardcore Defender to send the model off to pasture in high-performance style, and considering an extreme Range Rover as well. If either of those rumors materialize, they look like they'd be prime candidates for the SVX line. JLR Special Vehicle Operations has already showcased what it can do with the high-performance Range Rover Sport SVR, the luxed-up Range Rover SVAutobiography, the exclusive F-Type Project 7 and the continuation classic Lightweight E-Type. C/D confirms that further SVR models are in store to replace Jaguar's R-S performance models, while the SVX line would likely remain exclusive to Land Rover.
This mule is the first evidence Jaguar is working on a 3 Series fighter
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Rumors of an entry-level, BMW 3 Series-fighting Jaguar sedan have been floating around for quite some time, but thanks to our intrepid spy photographers, we now have visible proof that such a model is, in fact, in the works.
Despite this tester's XF fittings, it's clear that what lies beneath is an entirely different beast. The doors have been shortened, roofline adjusted, rear deck lopped off and exhaust replaced, giving us a better idea of the new sedan's smaller dimensions and details. The new Jag, which may be dubbed "XS," is expected to ride on Jaguar's PLA (Premium Lightweight Architecture) platform, touting weight-saving materials that should do a lot to keep overall heft to a minimum. Both turbocharged four- and supercharged six-cylinder powertrains are expected to be on tap.
Codenamed X760, the new small sedan will reportedly hit the market in 2015. Earlier reports have indicated that a new crossover - Jag's first ever - riding on the same platform will arrive shortly thereafter, so that suggests that the platform will be fitted with all-wheel drive as well.
Jaguar designs Tour de France racing bike [w/video]
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Jaguar is known for designing luxury sedans, and it's known for designing GTs. But once in a while it dabbles in a new area of transportation design. It's working on its first crossover at the moment, and even did a speedboat concept a couple of years ago. Now it's turned its attention to bicycles.
While many automakers have designed bikes in the past, Jaguar's project has a bit more of a direct correlation. It's been working with Team Sky - the outfit that has won the Tour de France two years running now - since 2010, furnishing the team with support vehicles for bicycle races around the world. But now it's stepping its collaboration up a notch by redesigning the team's bike.
Working with frame manufacturer Pinarello, Jaguar took the existing Dogma 65.1 racing bike design back to the drawing board. Jaguar's designers and engineers reshaped the frame tubes, seat post, front fork, derailleur and all the components attached to the frame, each part streamlined for aerodynamic efficiency. They ran it through Jaguar's Computational Fluid Dynamics processor 300 times then verified the results in the wind tunnel.
