As an update to our story last week on the sale of Jaguar parts retailer XK’s Unlimited to Moss Motors, we would like to announce and make clear that Jason Len, proprietor of XKs Unlimited, has only sold the parts department. Jason’s has retained the restoration department which is now known as XKs Motorsport. Jason and XKs have been in business for 45 years offering classic Jaguar and British car restoration and expertise.
To quote Jason:
XKs Motorsport is dedicated to quality repairs and restorations on all classic British and European cars. We have restored an amazing variety of cars for collectors all over the world. We have also been racing these cars for over 45 years. Unlike other so-called restoration shops, we do most all aspects of the restoration in-house. We have our own machine shop, engine building room, body and metal shop, fabrication shop, and upholstery shop. This allows us to maintain quality control over all aspects of the job. From a minor tune-up to a major restoration, we are the specialist to see.
XK Motorsport remains in San Luis Obispo, California, and they offer transportation of your project to our shop from anywhere in California with our own truck and trailer at an extremely reasonable rate and can arrange commercial transport from anywhere in the USA.
I would like to thank Jason for updating me on this and for his continued service to the British car community – and especially the classic Jaguar contingent. Jason Len has been an anchor of this hobby for more years than most of us can remember and has always been at the forefront of doing what is best for the cars and their owners. While I am glad that he is taking a step back to lessen his stress and enjoy life and family more, I am overjoyed that we won’t have to suffer him bowing out entirely.
