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
Body number: 210301
Engine number: LA 1007 -8
Transmission number: GBN 29998 - JS

Jaguar builds F-Type to support Tour de France team [w/video]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014The Tour de France is typically a two-wheeled affair, dominated by cyclists yearning to capture the prestigious yellow jersey. While the 2014 event winds its way through Europe, Stage 20 will see an altogether different conveyance wind along the route between Bergerac and Périgueux - the Jaguar F-Type Coupe.
As part of its partnership with the British cyclists of Team Sky, Jag has enlisted its new Special Operations division to build a one-off F-Type Coupe, based on the 550-horsepower, supercharged R model.
SpecOps has removed the rear glass and come up with a creative solution to mount a pair of Team Sky's racing cycles in the back. Aside from that upgrade, the cabin boasts new upholstery in the colors of Team Sky's traditional livery. A separate power supply has been established below the bikes in what's left of the trunk, which provides juice for a set of radios and microphones, so that the team's director can communicate with the riders.
Ecurie Ecosse collection brings in millions
Wed, 04 Dec 2013It's rare to see an entire racing team's collection go up for auction at once, but that's just what happened this past weekend at Bonhams' new headquarters in London, where there Ecurrie Ecosse collection brought in top dollar (or pound, anyway).
The collection, whose consignment we first reported on back in September, included a smattering of Jaguars, other classic racers and an iconic transporter truck, all decked out in the same blue and white livery of the Scottish flag. After reportedly feverish bidding on Sunday, the 1952 Jaguar C-Type sold for £2,900,000 ($4.75m), the '56 short-nose D-Type for another £2,600,000 ($4.26m), and the transporter for a shocking £1,800,000 (nearly $3 million) - all to the same unnamed American collector. A 1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster went to another buyer for a record £707,000 ($1.16m).
With Ringo Star's Facel Vega selling for £337,500 ($550k) and Michael Schumacher's Benetton B194 fetching another £617,500 (just over a million), the auction total skyrocketed to £16,861,630 ($2.75m), which Bonhams described as "a roaring success". Scope out the press release below for more info.
Jaguar planning two bodystyles for next XJ
Wed, 17 Apr 2013As we alluded to in today's F-Type first drive, Jaguar hasn't been selling its wares in China for very long, and as a result, buyers there usually don't have the same appreciation for the brand's history. So you might reasonably think that the company's recent radical styling shift (kicked off by the 2008 XF) wouldn't be as jarring to the nation's buying populace since they really didn't have the automaker's more traditionally styled models from years past to compare them against.
Yet while Jaguar and its sister marque, Land Rover, continue to pick up steam in China's developing market, that apparently isn't necessarily the case. Local buyers there tend to have more conservative tastes when it comes to styling, preferring more upright dimensions, big back seats and larger quantities of traditional luxury materials (think: chrome and wood) than other markets currently find desirable. Thus, the very bold current-generation XJ sedan may be leaving some sales on the table.
According to Edmunds, Jag doesn't want to risk that, and as such, it is preparing two bodystyles for the next-generation XJ - one with the rakish coupe-like styling of the current model, and a more "old-school" three-box sedan designed to appeal to a wider swath of Chinese buyers.
