1951 Jaguar XK120 is up for auction

At the 1948 London Motor Show Jaguar revealed its first sports car since 1939 when production of the SS ended. It is a Jaguar XK120 designed by Jaguar Chief Engineer William Heynes, which was offered as an open two-seater or roadster. It was produced until 1954 and one, the 1951 Jaguar XK120, was offered at auction.

Jaguar XK120 is powered by a 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission equipped with a lightened flywheel. It is mounted on a set of chrome 16″ wire wheels. It is equipped with leather hood strip, split windshield, Lucas front driving lights, rear wheel vents, Jaguar-branded hubcaps, Vredestein tires installed out back, front disc brakes as well as an electronic ignition system, an exhaust header, dual SU carburetors, and safety belts.

This car is finished in shade of maroon, while the original color was bronze, according to the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate. It has been properly maintained and is in good condition. 21 years ago, the car was restored and recently serviced. Inside, the seats are upholstered in brown leather that also covers the door panels, combined with wood trim. The design of the cabin is decorated with wooden decorations and a four-spoke steering wheel.

The car comes with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, service records, and a Pennsylvania title.

The auction ends on February 28th and the current highest bid is $30,000 USD.

Jaguar F-Pace hybrid now has longer range

Seven years ago, the British car company Jaguar, which is part of the Indian Tata Group, premiered its SUV F-Pace. After the redesign that was done two years ago in Coventry, they decided to refresh this model again.

The biggest change compared to the previous model is the larger capacity of the li-ion batteries (19.2 kWh) that power the electric motor in the hybrid “plug-in” version of the P400e. Now, without the assistance of the 2.0L four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, it has a range of 65 kilometers (WLTP), which is 20 percent more than the previous version. Thanks to the 35 kW DC charger, the battery can be charged up to 80 percent in 30 minutes. A full charge via the 7 kW charger takes 2.5 hours.

Jaguar F-Pace is offered in three versions. The base F-Pace (P250) is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged i4 with 246 hp (181 kW) and 269 lb-ft (365 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 6.9 seconds with a top speed of 135 mph (217 km/h).

A slightly more powerful version, the P400 is powered by a 3.0L turbocharged i6 with 395 hp (290 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 5.1 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

The most powerful F-Pace (P550) is powered by a 5.0L supercharged V8 engine with 542 hp (399 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 178 mph (286 km/h).

All versions are equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels, a digital instrument panel and a Pivi Pro multimedia system with voice control that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto applications.

Jaguar has already announced that from 2025, only electric cars will be on offer. This means that only the I-Pace model will remain from their current offer.

2023 Jaguar F-Type 75 Special Edition

Before ending the long-running era of its conventionally powered sports cars, Jaguar has decided to introduce special editions of the F-Type 75 and F-Type R 75.

Both Jaguar models will be offered in Giola metallic green. They will be equipped with front fender badges depicting the “unmistakable silhouette of the F-Type”, LED lights, stainless steel door sill plates and a set of 20-inch wheels in gloss black, with carbon-ceramic brakes and yellow brake calipers (optional).

When it comes to the powertrain, the power of both models will vary depending on the market, and will be offered in three options. The first is a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder Ingenum engine with 298 hp (219 kW) and RWD, the second option is a supercharged 5.0L V8 engine with 444 hp (327 kW) and RWD or AWD. The third, most powerful option is a supercharged V8 engine with 567 hp (417 kW) and (700 Nm) of torque, and AWD. It reaches 62 mph in less than 4 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h). All engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The order book is open, and the first deliveries can be expected at the beginning of next year.
