1974 Jaguar Xj12l on 2040-cars
Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1974 Jaguar XJ12L that I have owned for about 25 years. It was a Florida car. It has the V12 with 4 carburetors. The car has been repainted in the original sable brown and has a newer biscuit interior with cinnamon original type wool carpet. The bumpers were replaced with NOS ones that I purchased not long after I bought the car. It has the very rare right side door mirror. The dash has been replaced with a dark burled wood and is in perfect condition. All gauges and switches work. The radio in the pictures has been replaced with a CD player. I had not driven the car in several years, so last year I replaced all of the calipers, pads, rotors, and emergency brake cable. A new exhaust was installed at that time. At that time a noticed a slight, intermittent ticking sound coming from under the car. The noise would come and go and went away completely when warmed up. Since my last listing on ebay, and after much searching, I finally found the cause; the flex plate (flywheel) has two small cracks in it. This, of course has caused me to re-evaluate my reserve price, since repairs will be needed. The engine runs beautifully, and the car drives very well, with no side effects from the flex plate problem. I have no idea of how long it has been like this, but I don't remember the ticking being there when the car was stored.
As you can see from the pictures, everything else is in great condition. It's not a 100 pt show car, but extremely presentable in its present state. These are getting quite rare in their original state; many gave up their engines for XKE replacements and many became V8 conversions because the drivers didn't realize that it takes a little time to warm up 12 quarts of oil before punching the engine hard. I'm selling to fund other restoration projects. Please feel free to ask any questions, I will do my best to give you an honest answer. No warranty, buyer must deposit $500 within 48 hours of auction close. Pick up only near Fond du Lac, WI. I can help with loading. Thanks for looking. |

Jaguar F-Type 'Design Study' headed to Goodwood
Mon, 08 Jul 2013With the Goodwood Festival of Speed taking place this weekend, Jaguar has announced it will be there with its new trio of R models as well as a design study version of the hot new F-Type sports car. While we've already seen the XFR-S last year at the LA Auto Show and the XJR and XKR-S GT at the New York Auto Show, the F-Type design study has our attention.
Based on our recent sighting of a fixed-roof F-Type being tested in full camouflage, this could mean that we'll finally get to see a sexy F-Type Coupe in near-production form. Of course, with all of the other R branded models on display, Jaguar could also unveil a sporty new R - or maybe even an RS - F-Type roadster. Whatever is planned, it will not be a static display - Jaguar says the design study car will be in action, making the fabled run up Goodwood Hill with chief engineer Mike Cross at the wheel. Scroll down for more information about what Jaguar has planned for Goodwood.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
Jaguar bringing all-wheel-drive F-Type to LA Auto Show [w/video]
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Jaguar's big splash at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show was showing off the slinky F-Type Coupe; perhaps one of the loveliest car shapes on the road today. This year the company won't have a show-stopping new design to offer, but the news that all-wheel drive is coming to the F-Type range is, nevertheless, pretty spectacular.
Mixed in with news about a technical partnership between Jaguar and the Bloodhound SSC World Land Speed Record program, the British brand announced this morning that it will show the first AWD F-Type Coupe at the 2014 LA show later this month.
Jaguar tells us that the sure-footed cat, in AWD F-Type R Coupe form, will run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, with a limited top speed of 186 mph.
