Jaguar Xk140 Fixed Head Coupe on 2040-cars
Hanover, Massachusetts, United States
|
Just in this 1956 XK140 fixed head coupe is a great example of coming from southern California. Out of all the years we have been dealing with cars for restoration, this has to be one the most dry, rust free body we have ever seen. There is no filler in the car at all, there are no dents and no rust. All the gaps on the car are like they were, when the car left the factory. Whoever buys this car will be very pleased with the condition of the car's body. The car has been sitting in a garage for many years, waiting to be restored. The car came from the factory as an MC overdrive car. Typical of California, the engine and gearbox had been replaced. The engines tend to wear out, but not the bodies in California. The engine and gearbox that are in the car now are from an XK140, but of they don't match the data plate. and this engine does turns freely. The car is pretty much complete. There is a box with some spare parts that go with the car that is not shown in the photos. I do not have a Jaguar Heritage Certificate to verify the louvered bonnet, but it appears to be factory. The car does not run and needs to be totally restored. It does roll and steer easily, though, so it can be transported. We ship worldwide and can assist with obtaining a shipper. Transportation to the New Jersey port is $400.00. If you have any questions please email or call Ray at 001-617-838-3728 or Dan at 001-781-630-0185.

Chinese patent filing shows what could be next Royal Limo from Jaguar
Fri, 10 May 2013Someone filed a patent application in China for the Jaguar XJ limousine seen above, but no one's sure who filed it or what the car is for. One camp thinks it's a State limo for UK royals like the Bentley State Limousine, another camp thinks it's the work of aftermarket coachbuilders.
One thing's for sure: Assuming it ever gets made, anyone who buys it wants an XJ in name only; the modifications have removed almost all of the grace of the standard sedan. Estimated to be more than three feet longer than an XJ, the stretched rear doors are backed by an even more stretched rear section that, in losing the trademark XJ C-pillar (the D-pillar on this car), adds all sorts of ungainliness to its backside. What's more, the roof rises from front to rear, we can only assume to make room for people with large hats. Or the NBA player that the Chinese call "Sweet Melon."
Head over to AutoSohu for more photos from the application, if you're sure that's what you really want.

Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
