An absolute sensation when first seen in 1948, in the midst of post-war austerity, the Jaguar XK 120 was both a stunningly beautiful car sold to all the top film stars, and a ruthlessly successful rally machine--and it remains just as effective on both counts today. A perfect XK 120, 140 or 150 could easily cost six figures in pounds, dollars or euros today--so how practical is it to buy a neglected example and restore it at home?
This is the story of how one man completely restored his XK 120 roadster, transforming it from dereliction into a thoroughly beautiful example of this iconic sports car. He also took the time to investigate and incorporate numerous detail improvements, making the car even more usable and practical for today's roads, some 65 years after it was built.
Cable TV engineer Bob Exelby has a lifetime of home classic car rebuilds behind him and shares all the nuggets of information, advice and tips gleaned through his own blood (literally), sweat and tears over 50 years of 'playing with old cars'. Even the most experienced make mistakes, and he freely shares his so that others can avoid them. This book is invaluable if you want to know what makes an XK 'tick', and if it'?s the classic car for you--and vital if you own or are restoring one.
Jaguar - All the Cars meets the needs of not only the Jaguar aficionado, but also enthusiasts who don't have a detailed knowledge of the wide range of Jaguar models produced over the years. Illustrated in colour throughout, this significantly updated and expanded Fourth Edition comprehensively covers every single Jaguar production vehicle up to the present day, including the XE. The development of Jaguar production cars is charted, with a brief history of each model range, along with a detailed guide to exterior and interior differences, with accompanying pictures, production numbers, and specifications, even down to colour schemes and factory accessories. This is the most complete, quick reference work available anywhere on SS and Jaguar models from 1931 through to the present day.
New updated and enlarged edition! Jaguar's XK sports models were produced from 1996 to 2014 in two distinct forms: the orignal, steel-bodied cars and the later advanced technology aluminium-bodied versions. Highly significant for Jaguar, these cars reintroduced the world to Jaguar sports car motoring and, in doing so, echoed the success of previous icons, such as the E-type.With no plans from Jaguar for a direct replacement, the XK and XKR are guaranteed to become much sought after models, which are already attracting keen interest from driving enthusiasts. This book is the only current title covering the whole model range in precise detail, and is a vital read - both to those who currently own an XK, and anyone contemplating purchasing one.This is a book that will interest all Jaguar enthusiasts and those interested in the history of Jaguar and its cars - the perfect XK 'handbook.'
98000 km on the clock only. Engineered with a 4.0 litre engine and 276.0kW of power, reaching speeds of 100km/h in 5.6 seconds!. This was my wife's car in Hong Kong from 2013 to to 2020, which she used to drive 15 minutes each way to work. In early 2021 we imported the car into Australia so that we would have a car here when we visited family on holidays. We retired in 2023 and have used the car sparingly since. We have now sold our home and downsized to an apartment where we have a single carpark available. So… 
1968 Jaguar Daimler 250 Turner V8 (restored) The Daimler 250 represents a pivotal moment in British luxury motoring, bridging the gap between Jaguar's sporting heritage and Daimler's refined tradition. Launched in 1962 and produced through the mid-1960s, the 250 was the company's answer to the demand for a more accessible luxury saloon, powered by a 250 cubic inch V8 cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission. This 1968 example received a comprehensive mechanical inspection and attention in 2022-2023, encompassing engine, suspension, mountings, seals, the fuel tank was removed and re-lined, new fuel pump installed, and this car is a genuine…
