The “Before and After” of @milanogarage memorable Feb 1962 Jaguar E-type barnfind. Now restored to its former glory in correct Ivory over Tan, she’s ready for her new life.
That moment when I removed the plastic car cover after years of outdoor life is still one of the best in my “barnfinds career” ❤️ .
thanks @ruoteclassiche for featuring a wreck on your cover for the first time ever ❤️

On topic: white Jaguar XJS parked in Amsterdam-Zuid on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The car could use some tender love and care.

The goal was not actually building a legendary landmark sports car. William Lyons’ SS cars had built the rapid SS 90 & 100 sports cars until 1940, but by 1945 Lyons was more interested in fast luxury sedans. Up to that time, SS/Jaguar had used engines, stock or modified, from Coventry’s Standard Motor Co. Standard’s engines did the job and were ultimately brought in-house, but Lyon’s had loftier goals - a 100mph sedan (very rare in those days) powered by engines #Jaguar designed.
-
As hostilities wound down, Lyons’ team, Walter Hassan, Bill Heynes, Harry Weslake & co., began working on Jaguar’s own engine - which became the famous twin-cam XK. Before the XK was installed in the company’s new MkV sedan (the company’s main product and first postwar design), Lyons and Co. decided it needed more production testing - hence the company designed the XK120, using some components from the MkIV, as a limited-run roadster to showcase it.
-
Both the 120 and the MkV debuted at the London show in 1948 - the MkV, still powered by the old Standard-derived six, was very nice and a big seller, but the XK120 was a bona fide superstar - too good to be a 200-car run; which meant considerable work to get it ready for volume production. -
At first, the #XK120 was only a roadster. The car proved very popular - but especially so in America - 80+% of XK120s went to the states, where they cost $4K to start, a huge amount of money in 1949, but worth every cent to people who wanted to be as chic as Clark Gable. When the Attlee Govenrment devalued the Pound that September as part of the Breton Woods agreement (among many factors), the profit margins on exported XK120s soared. What Americans wanted from Jaguar, they’d get, and they wanted a coupe.
-
The FHC (Fixed-head coupe) arrived in 1951, just as the MkVII, Lyons’ XK-powered super sedan, was coming on line. Two years later it was joined by a four-place convertible (the Drophead coupe). The coupe added a great deal of civility to the XK, which was already a sports car that was relatively easy to live with - as good at 10mph as 100. The FHC turned the roadster into a continent-eating GT, quiet and contained but just as potent.
