1960 Jaguar MK 2 Sedan 3.8 L Engine with Manual Transmission fitted with Overdrive = 7th 3.8 liter engined MK2 (Exported to the USA), Matching Numbers
This car was purchased from an elderly lady in California (it was her husbands car who passed away 15 years ago) I had the car shipped back to Ohio were it has sat in my garage for the past 6 months. I bought the car as a project car and it is being sold as a project car.....I have done very little to the car during that time and its occupying valuable garage space so its time to let it go to someone who has the time to complete a restoration
The car is very solid and straight with good door and panel gaps
The chrome is in very good condition....little to no pitting . The rear bumper has damage on the passenger side and the rear overriders are missing, there are signs of some local repairs to the car on the rear passenger side corner ....the repair looks good and is hardly noticeable
The engine needs some attention it has a knocking noise...probably need a complete rebuild?
The underside is very solid
The glass is scratch free
The interior is presentable without tares but not factory original
Tires are old but in fairly good condition
Wood is okay but needs refinishing
The paint is oxidized ...I have spent quite a lot of hours restoring the paintwork along the entire length of the drives side as you can see the paintwork now looks quite shinny....but the passenger side remains unrestored
As I said what I am selling is a non-running project car with great potential....I have never had it running but have had the engine turning over.
What makes this car unique is that it is the 7th 3.8l liter engined MK2 (Exported to the USA)
It is also a numbers matching car.....it is hard to find a restoration project that has not been canibalized:
Car number: S001121

Transmission number: GBN 29998 - JS

2014 Jaguar XFR-S is the power and the fury
Thu, 29 Nov 2012If there's something wrong about a sedan with a 550-horsepower supercharged V8, we don't want to hear about it. Instead, we want to marvel at the car in person, which is fortuitous because Jaguar has officially unveiled the 2014 XFR-S at the 2012 LA Auto Show. That blown 5.0-liter V8 dishes up a full 502 pound-feet of torque, which is good enough to shuttle the four-door to 60 mph in a scant 4.4 seconds. And, thanks to a start stop system and a few other fuel-saving tricks, the 2014 XFR-S gets away without being hit by the gas guzzler tax.
That's all good news, but we're just as excited about the fact that engineers managed to crank up the vehicle's chassis stiffness by a ludicrous 30 percent. Stiffer dampers and springs also give the car a little more poise, and a wide-open exhaust lets the whole world know you're kicking down their door. You know, in case the electric blue paint and wild body work didn't tip your hand. Check out the full gallery above for a closer look.
Jaguar XE hits the 'Ring wearing swirly camo
Wed, 21 May 2014Jaguar is happy to show off its new XE sedan on its social media sites, but when testing at the Nürburgring, it's a very different story. These spy shots show the new model in camouflage to make it much harder to discern, but there are still some intriguing details to pick out.
These photos give us a really good look at the XE's quirky rear end. The sedan has a super short trunk that almost fools you into thinking its a notchback, but the top edge of the trunk is clearly visible. It's a somewhat odd-looking design with the rear glass running underneath the roof's overhang to create an integrated spoiler. Despite the camo, the front end is the same as ever with a blunt edge and sharp headlights. Jag certainly isn't afraid to try something a little different compared to the XE's competitors, notably the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
Some technical details about the XE are already established. This 3 Series-fighter is slated to go on sale in foreign markets in 2015 and in the US in 2016. We know that it ride's on Jag's new aluminum platform that also underpins the C-X17 crossover concept, and power comes from a pair of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, available in petrol- or diesel-fueled configurations.
Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
