For your consideration is my 1956 Jaguar XK140 fhc MC, Matching Numbers with Overdrive  This is a very special, black plate, California car when considering the rarity and the amount of money already spend on mechanics and restoration.  I have over 11,000 USD in receipts documenting the work that has been done on this car over the years.  Original Black plates included.  NO ROT or "knee-high" drama with this cat.  This has always been a west coast car until I acquired this Jaguar and the body is simply exquisite as a restoration candidate.  No metal replacement, no new body panels, SOLID rockers, pillar posts, etc.  This is, in my opinion, the biggest selling point of this cat, and the fact that the engine has been completely rebuilt and purrs as it should.  Complete car, including original radio, all removable panels, and many new parts as well.

As the Jaguar Trust Certificate shows, this is a very rare, Red on Red/Biscuit two-tone color combination Jaguar.  I'll spare everyone the history of this car..if you are reading this, you are well aware of its rarity and blue-chip potential. The car is comprehensively original, minus some restoration that started a last summer.  This Jaguar purrs like a Jaguar should and has been driven during the summer months.  Yes, car runs and drives and I have enjoyed it on nice days as some restoration took place.  

Here is what has been accomplished on this Jaguar thus far: (over 11K of receipts)

1-  Rebuilt engine
2-  All brake components including re-sleeving wheel cylinders, etc. had been rebuilt and/or new parts.
3-  All removable panels, including mud guards front and rear, battery boxes, spare tire boot, panels on right/left of engine compartment, transmission tunnel, driveshaft tunnel have been media blasted and powder coated black!
4-  Transmission Tunnel and driveshaft tunnel are now fully removable to accommodate removal of transmission without pulling motor and transmission per Jaguar spec.
5-  FULL stainless steel exhaust
6-  Trunk compartment is completely media blasted, epoxy primed, restored, and painted using Diamont single stage Enamel.  Paint will go with car.  I decided to go with the 56' CARMINE Red instead of the Carmen red on the exterior of the car currently.  My intention was to fit the Jaguar with the Red interior with Biscuit centers on the seats per original specs and the Carmine Red deep hue seemed such a better combination than the orangey-red on the car now.  
7-  All new wood floors and spare tyre lid.  
8-  AlUMINUM gas tank fitted to increase the look of this MC model
9-  New Mallory dual point mechanical distributor- huge improvement on performance of engine.
9-  Front windshield chrome is accounted for, rear window chrome is accounted for, rear tail light assemblies, etc.  Everything that was removed to begin trunk restoration is accounted for and will go with car.  

I have many new parts that go with the Jaguar as well, including Rear chrome strip on boot lid of jaguar, front floor jack covers, body rubbers, bolts, marker light assemblies, etc.  Everything will go with car.  Original steel gas tank and distributor are accounted for as well.  

Note:  only damage that I have seen in the the body is the passenger side rear fender.  It has a skim coat of alumilead on the rear section of the fender.  The rear must have been bumped at one time.  The metal is all good and strong on the back side.  I began to strip both rear quarters to make sure there were no surprises.  

I believe this Jaguar will make someone very very enthusiastic about owning and hopefully restoring her as she is enjoyed.  You will be getting a solid, matching numbers, running and driving semi-restored Jaguar.  I hope the pictures speak for themselves and please feel free to request any further pics.  I will be happy to prepare car for international shipping- all shipping is responsibility of buyer.  Jaguar is for sale locally and I reserve right to end auction at any time.  Any questions please call 315 313-8300.  


*** Winning bidder will have first rights to a spare matching numbers MC engine (matching C type head and block numbers) and Manual transmission with O/D***

The diesel premium in our Jaguar XE quickly pays for itself

Thu, May 25 2017

Our long-term 2017 Jaguar XE 20d AWD recently returned from a 2,000-mile road trip. My wife and I took a few days to visit her family in Auburn, Alabama, and it was the first real chance anyone has had to stretch the Jaguar's legs outside of Michigan. It was also a good opportunity to see what sort of fuel economy I could wring out of the XE's 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel. The diesel engine was the main reason I chose it over our equally lovely long-term 2017 Audi A4. For me, chasing fuel economy is a great way to stay focused on the road. The XE 20d AWD is rated at 30 city/40 highway and 34 combined. The drive to and from Auburn is almost entirely highway, so I knew matching the highway rating would be easy enough. The XE has a 14.8 gallon tank, so I was looking at a minimum of 600 miles per tank and four fills for the trip, counting the initial pre-departure fill. I had two main concerns: first, this was a new route, so I didn't know how available diesel would be along I-75; second, crossing the Appalachian Mountains was going to severely cut into my overall average. The first worry turned out to be a nonissue, especially as we went further south. Not once was I forced to go from station to station looking for a lone green-handled pump. People in the South love their Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax-powered trucks, meaning diesel pumps were plentiful. Rolling up in a Jaguar does garner attention, though. An older gentleman even asked if I knew that I was putting diesel in the car. It seems he didn't have much faith in my reading comprehension skills. The mountains were more of a problem. There was literally no getting around them, but were west of the highest parts, so it could have been worse. The indicated fuel economy dropped by 4 mpg on the way up, from 47 mpg to 43. Still, I managed more than 650 miles from a tank, though I was starting to push my luck. We filled up for the short final leg. By the time we rolled into Auburn, the display indicated 44 mpg – pretty damn good, I'd say. It held there for the entire trip. Calculating the actual mileage revealed the computer was generous by 2 mpg, but that's par for the course. Few automakers display precise numbers. The relative ease of getting this sort of fuel economy was complemented by the price of diesel. At each one of my four stops, diesel cost less than premium, the required fuel in all of the XE's gasoline engines. According to AAA, the same is true nationwide.

Jaguar F-Pace shows off its production pelt for first time

Fri, Feb 6 2015

We're no strangers to the Jaguar F-Pace, having spotted the production mules for the aristocratic English brand's first crossover on a few different occasions. Today, though, we get not only our first time look at the car in production sheetmetal, but also confirmation that the production model won't stray far from the sexy C-X17 Concept. Riding atop the same aluminum platform that underpins the already acclaimed XE sedan, the F-Pace follows the example set by the Range Rover Evoque, offering up almost a chopped-top look, particularly near the rear, where the plunging roofline and high beltline meet. That said, similarities to products from sister company Land Rover look to be mere coincidences, as the sheetmetal being shown appears all Jag. There's a prominent, snout-like grille that's flanked by a pair of predatory, LED-accented headlights. In back, the small rear window crowns a pair of thin, wraparound taillights. Think XE, with small influences from the F-Type for these units. As for what hides underneath those muscular body panels, our spies are predicting the standard allotment of Jag goodness. That means a gas-powered 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter, supercharged V6, both borrowed from the XE/XF to start, before diesel and hybrid powertrains roll out. Naturally, all-wheel drive will be offered, although the F-Pace should also arrive sporting rear-wheel drive. And while we've got little to go on to believe it's happening, we're still hoping for an F-Pace R, complete with blown 5.0-liter V8. We suspect we'll be waiting on that one for awhile, though. You, though, don't have to wait to check out our spy snaps of the newest Jag in the litter. Check out our photos of the F-Pace, available up top.

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee season 2 opens with Sarah Silverman and Jag E-Type

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

Season Two of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee kicked this week in style. How much more style is there to be had than in a 1969 Jaguar XKE, after all? This time around, Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman spend some time driving around in the "slinky, sexy" Jag, talking comedy and then grabbing breakfast.
In addition to the kickoff of the show's second season, this episode also represents the start of a 24-episode sponsorship with Acura. The original deal promised short ads at the beginning and end of each episode, but this time around, Seinfeld "stumbles upon" a 2014 Acura RLX, which is obviously - and admittedly - the work of product integration. Scroll down to watch Seinfeld and Silverman exchange banter with the Jag's beauty as a happy backdrop.
