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.

Jaguar F-Pace prototype goes to work at the Nurburgring

Wed, Apr 15 2015

Jaguar is hard at work again, testing its upcoming F-Pace crossover. And here's our latest look at the prototype testing at the Nurburgring. The tester spotted here appears the same as the one we recently saw undergoing cold-weather development, only this time it's wearing summer rubber on fullsize wheels instead of winter tires on smaller ones. It's also missing the old prototype's auxiliary lights, and a bit more camouflage covering the quarter panels. The fact that it was seen on the Nordschleife, however, bodes well for the F-Pace and speaks to its orientation: Jaguar's first crossover promises to be geared towards performance, a sort of on-road counterpart to the off-road prowess of the SUVs offered by its sister brand Land Rover. We're looking forward to seeing the finished product at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the fall, but in the meantime you can scope out the spy shots in the slideshow above.

1956 Jaguar D-Type could top $5M at Arizona auction

Fri, Oct 30 2015

The Jaguar D-Type is an essential element of the marque's history, one of its most successful racing cars, and one of its most beautiful creations. Chassis number XKD 604, pictured here, was the first of six long-nose Jaguar D-Types made for the factory team in 1956. They were, however, far from ubiquitous, with only 53 made for private customers, and another 18 campaigned by the factory racing team. More advanced than the examples that preceded it, this one was equipped with a de Dion rear suspension and fuel injection. It didn't have much of a distinguished racing career to speak of, passing from the factory to the Ecurie Ecosse team in Scotland which kept it in storage for years. After the team's closing, it passed through the hands of two British owners, undergoing a full restoration at the hands of the latter, before trading between two US owners. Although precise pre-sale estimates are available by request to interested parties, RM confirmed to Autoblog that this example "is expected to fetch more than $5 million when it crosses the auction podium in January." According to Sports Car Market, last year the same auction house sold a customer D-Type in Paris for nearly that much. However at its London auction in 2013, another works example failed to sell despite a high bid of over $6.2 million. If this one takes in more than that, it'll set a record for the type. If classic Jaguars aren't your thing, RM also has lined up an enviable roster of Ferraris. Included among them is a yellow '71 Daytona (estimated to fetch over $700k), a silver '91 Testarossa (~$250k), a rare yellow '95 F512 M (~$450k), and a pristine 2011 599 SA Aperta (~$1.3m). Porsche fans will want to check out the '76 911 Turbo (~$250k) and the soft-window '69 911 S Targa (~$225k). With the auction not set to take place until January 28 at the Arizona Biltmore, you can bet there'll be a good number of additional lots consigned between now and then.

Jaguar ousts Lexus from atop J.D. Power 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Jaguar has taken the top spot among luxury brands in the 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index, an annual survey conducted by J.D. Power that measures customer satisfaction with the experience of purchasing a new vehicle. The English brand, not even among the top three luxury automakers on the list last year, vaulted ahead of Lexus, which placed third this year after leading the list in 2011 and 2012. Porsche, meanwhile, moved into second place.
The rankings are based on a point score out of 1,000, with Jaguar earning 740 points, Porsche right behind with 739 and Lexus with 737. Volvo, meanwhile, made the biggest improvement among luxury brands with a 30-point jump to 708, bring it up from 11th place to 9th this year.
J.D. Power has a separate ranking for mass-market brands, and this year Mini again tops the list with a score of 718, far outpacing second-place Buick with a score of 694 and making it the fourth time Mini has lead this list. After Buick, the next two ranked brands are both American and both from General Motors, with Chevrolet and GMC sharing third place with a score of 686.
