1955 Jaguar XK140 MC Roadster OTS

Thanks for viewing this stunning 1955 Jaguar XK140MC Roadster. This is a unique opportunity to own a very unusual example of what many consider to be one of the finest British Sports Cars. This numbers-matching beauty underwent a complete restoration approximately 3 years ago. 

First impressions, The first things you'll notice are the brightness of the paint, the wonderful finish on the chrome and perfect condition of the interior. Then once you get past the looks, you start her up and shift into first. The shifting is precise, as a an XK should be. The motor obtains a proper idle speed quickly, then you're ready to drive. This car has excellent shifting, acceleration and brakes. There is no problem with engine temperature and no strange or problematic noises.

Exterior, The car is EXCEPTIONAL all the way around. The body lines and panel-fit are all very straight. The paint, glass, metalwork, rubber and top are all EXCEPTIONAL. This car is finished to a very high quality. The only blemishes that I could find upon thorough inspection of the car are several very small marks that were made in the paint, where the top must have rested on the body of the car for the years that the car was stored indoors. They look like a couple of small fingerprints, one on each side of the car and a very small line on the top of the boot area. I believe that these can be removed with a wet-sander, but didn't want to disturb the integrity of how the car was found.

Interior, Also EXCEPTIONAL. The interior was refitted at the time of restoration and shows very little to no wear.  The seats, carpet, dash and area behind the seats are all very very nice. The only blemish that I've found in the interior is a hairline crack on one of the spokes of the steering wheel.

Mechanics, EXCELLENT. This car was also mechanically restored to a very high standard, but then parked in a collection for a long time. It hadn't been driven much since restoration. I brought the car straight from it's storage location to my very well-qualified English mechanic, who gently eased it back to life. After it was started, he tested and tested until he discovered and repaired all faults, to make it a really PERFECT showcar and ready to be driven anywhere. Work included new front and rear brake cylinders, new master cylinder, new head gasket, rebuilt original radiator, new hoses, new gaskets, resurfaced head and much more.

This car has a clean and clear title, which I have in-house.Please send any questions you have before you hit the buy it now and I'll try to get back with you quickly. I don't want to hear any excuses after (I leave negative on you if so). If you hit buy it now I'll be out of town till the July 26th so if you buy it before you will have to wait till Aug 5th to pick it up.

2014 Jaguar F-Type, Project 7 Concept snarl in Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of nice cars, and the Jaguar F-Type V8 S he pilots in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is no exception. Eric Johnson, vice president of Jaguar Western Region brought the car to Leno's garage, which impresses the comedian with its 5.0-liter V8 that makes 495 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a muscle car-like roar.
But there's a surprise this episode: Leno secured a drive in the Project 7 Concept at Pebble Beach this year, and the experience was caught on video. Based on the F-Type, the Project 7 is a functional concept car that nods to Jaguar's seven wins at Le Mans and features bespoke styling cues, a special exhaust system and, perhaps most importantly, 50 more horsepower from the supercharged V8.
Watch the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage in the video below. You'll need a little over 23 minutes to see the whole thing.

2017 Jaguar XE

Thu, Apr 30 2015

You've seen this movie before. Topple the BMW 3 Series has gone more rounds than The Fast and The Furious and The Transporter combined. But like any good cinematic retread, this time it's different. For starters, the latest installment is a zombie flick. Born from the ashes of Ford ownership and the failed X-Type, the 2017 Jaguar XE is coming to save us from the somnambulant, undead Bimmer. Think Army of Darkness with luxury sport sedans, and you'll understand what we're going for. Okay, the plot is only based on a true story. The reality in the automotive world isn't as dramatic as most car journalists would like you to believe. But the XE is hugely important for Jaguar's desire to increase global production. You're looking at the future best-selling model. It's built on an all-new body structure that forms the basis for all the brand's upcoming sedans. The smallest, most affordable Jaguar also launches with a new engine family, built in a new factory in England. The XE arrives stateside in early 2016 with two available engines. A 2.0-liter diesel from the new Ingenium lineup is the entry-level model. Above that is the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 familiar to the Jaguar and Land Rover lineup. A turbo 2.0-liter gas engine will come in below the diesel at a later date, with an optional manual transmission. The XE versions on launch will offer rear- or all-wheel-drive. Pricing information is yet to be revealed. Until then, just assume the XE will mimic its competitors for price and content. We spent most of our time driving the 35t with R-Sport trim, but check back for a driving impression of the diesel in a few days. As we reported in our prototype drive of the XE earlier this year, this car has incredible steering feel. It's the supernatural aid in the XE's monomyth if any film buffs are still paying attention. The electrically assisted system ranks in the hall of fame with the rack on the current Porsche 911 Carrera. Lightly weighted, the loads build up in the steering wheel like it's wired to strain gauges on the sidewall of the front tires. It's not just good programming that makes the XE steer so well, although that's a big part. The rest comes from the chassis. Jaguar engineers claim the double wishbone front suspension uses lessons learned from the F-Type. The rear part of the car's quick responses comes from a multi-link setup Jag calls integrated link. A body 20-percent stiffer than the current XF also contributes to sharp reflexes.
