    Up for bid is a stunning example of a 1956 Jaguar XK 140 Roadster in beautiful condition throughout. This is the rarer example with the factory skirts and disk wheels as most were imported without skirts and wire wheels. I purchased this car from a person I knew who owned this car since 1979 and pampered this great example for years then did a ground up restoration in and out on this strait original example. This was the love of his life and was his only classic car and was very wealthy that money was no object at the time and did what was needed without thought of cost. This is a numbers matching fine example with beautiful stunning paint throughout in the original factory maroon color with tan leather and correct tan top. As you can see from the pictures this car is strait as an arrow with no signs of body work or imperfections. The chrome and all the details are beautiful as well and the car has only been driven 3803 miles since everything was done. This car mechanically is like driving a new Jaguar back in the day. The steering is so tight and nimble its like power steering, you have to drive it and you will fall in love. The engine bay is all detailed and the original porcelain manifolds are just beautiful as is the undercarriage. The trunk is beautiful as well with all the factory tools and jack as you can see and the tires are the correct factory issue and have barley any miles on them. I have the original manual and dealer books as well because he got them from the original owner back in the day. I do not have the side curtains as they were misplaced years ago but they can be had today. The fit and finish is without question as seen in the pictures and if you come and see this car in person it looks even better than the pictures. The photos you are seeing here were taken before a thorough detail was done and was now just completed and is stunning. All the mechanicals are excellent and working except the gas gauge but we have a new one and will install it before the new owner takes delivery. Well I can go on all day but what you have here is one of the most beautiful unmolested Jaguar 140 Roadsters today that you can drive with pleasure and enter it in any high quality show event with pride. I am selling this car a bit below market as I need the room so some one is going to get a wonderful example at a fair price. Best of Luck to all.

Jaguar F-Type greets US, shows off range of personalization

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

While the debut of the XFR-S is likely fresh on everyone's minds and browser windows, the other big story of late at Jaguar is the F-Type coupe and convertible. Originally unveiled in Paris, the LA show was the first opportunity that the sub-XK performance machine will be seen Stateside. However, it was not just the same news that we first heard in Paris, as Jaguar used LA to showcase its newly available "Black" design pack.
This styling package includes gloss black finishes for the grill surround, side vents, a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, gloss black interior touches, and instrument panel rings. This package is available with Ultimate Black, Polaris White, Italian Racing Red, Rhodium Silver, Grey and Firesand (seen above) body colors.
The Black pack can be had on either the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 model, or the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 version. Specific additional "Black" tweaks are available based on which derivative you select. Specifically, a gloss-black rear valence is a V6-only modification.

Jay Leno hits the road in a 1951 Jaguar XK 120 Hot Rod

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The 1951 Jaguar XK120 featured in this episode of Jay Leno's Garage might look vaguely like a classic Jag roadster at first, but underneath this cat is something completely different. It was built by Leno's buddy Jason Len of XK's Unlimited when he grew tired of keeping these convertibles stock, and this aluminum-bodied beast was the result. Practically the only major Jaguar part left is the engine. It's a tuned 3.8-liter inline six from an E-Type with Weber carbs that makes an estimated 300 horsepower out of some gorgeous side-exit exhausts. The mill is backed up to a BorgWarner five-speed manual. However, the big surprise is the chassis. In place of Jag's original solution, Len has a custom tubular space frame that he claims sheds some 1,000 pounds over the stock example. There are still some classic Jaguar touches left, though, such as the fin over the driver's head that is reminiscent of the D-Type, and both the wheels and gauges are replicas based on that classic racer. Of course the best part is watching Jay drive this Jag hot rod. This big cat really knows how to purr.

2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT takes fiercest feline further [UPDATE]

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

If there were any car to overshadow the 542-horsepower Jaguar XJR that's coming to the New York Auto Show, this is it. Meet the Jaguar XKR-S GT - a street-legal, higher-performance version of the already hardcore XKR-S that will be headed to North America in very limited quantities. Only 30 will be offered on our continent, with 25 earmarked for the United States and the remaining five going to Canada. The cost of entry? $174,000 when it goes on sale this August.
What that gets you is a coupe that is, without any doubt, ready to attack any racetrack it might encounter. The XKR-S' supercharged 5.0-liter V8 has not been upgraded in terms of power - not that 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque is anything to sneeze at - but instead, Jaguar focused on tuning the bits of the car that help effectively put all that grunt to the ground. There's a new hood with rows of louvers to aid in engine cooling, and elsewhere on the car's body, you'll find carbon fiber on the redesigned front air splitter, dive planes, extended wheel arch spats, as well as a new rear diffuser, an aluminum front under tray and an absolutely massive wing out back to keep downforce to a maximum.
Underneath that hot body are retuned and height-adjustable adaptive dampers; spring rates have been increased by 68 percent in front and 25 percent at the rear versus a standard XKR-S. Most of the front and rear suspension geometry has been upgraded, larger carbon ceramic brakes have been fitted at all four corners, and wider 20-inch forged alloy wheels are found here, wrapped in Pirelli Corsa tires - 255/35-series rubber in front and 305/30-series stuff out back. There's also a revised active exhaust system, which should only improve the already thunderous roar coming out the back of the Jag coupe, and a faster steering rack has been added for improved agility.
