This 1951 XK120 has spent the majority of it's life in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The car has a very, dry bodyand it has very little, if no rust on it. The car does have some racing history and you can see in the pictures some of the modifications that were made for this purpose. There is plaque on the dash saying it was raced in 1954. The additional history will be added in the next day or two after the listing date. As you can see in the photos the early XK120's came through with chrome plating on the seat frames and the soft top frames. Another item typical of the early XK120's was the smooth cam covers, which are shown in the photos as well. The car is pretty much complete, but it is not a matching number car in the fact that the engine does not match the commission plate. The chassis, gearbox and body numbers are correct and do match the commission plate.. The engine in the car now is out of a 1951 Jaguar. Sorry I do not have a Heritage Certificate from Jaguar. The car is obviously going to need a full restoration. What you see in the pictures is what you are going to get, although I do have a small box with some misc. pieces that will go with the car, which are not shown. The car does roll and steer so it can be shipped easily. I will be posting an additional photo of the racing plaque with the details. If you have any questions please email or call Ray at 617-838-3728 or Dan at 781-630-0185.

The car was raced in 1954 with the Sports Car Club of British Columbia, which was founded in 1951. The car got 2nd place at the Empire Cup Meet Class A. There is a website for S.C.C. of B.C. it is www.sccbc.net. , which is still an active club. Perhaps there is a an Emeritus member still around that remembers the car.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine
Sat, 08 Feb 2014European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
Scroll down to see how it all plays out on video.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
