DESCRIPTION
The Jaguar Mark II, first introduced in late 1959 as a replacement for the Mark I, was the second iteration of a four door saloon by the Coventry automaker. Sir William Lyons adage of “Grace…pace…space” had certainly been further tweaked from the Mark I, as the Mark II was even more elegant, faster and roomier than its predecessor! Offered with the standard host of luxury features expected from Jaguar, the car was available with three different versions of the XK engine ranging from a relatively tame 2.5L unit to a beefier 3.4L and all the way to the 3.8L cars, fitted standard with twin SU HD6 carburetors. The flagship 3.8 motor shared a block, crankshaft, rods and pistons with the XKE; it had one carburetor and 30 less hp. Inside, the car had even more burled walnut and leather, in addition to a revised heating system and 20% more greenhouse glass. The Mark I had a notoriously narrow rear track (4 inches narrower than the front) and the Mark II’s revised suspension geometries and live rear axle reduced the amicable difference.

Jaguar launched two new models in 1961: the Mark X (Mark 10) saloon and the wonderful E-Type. Both were fitted with triple SU carbs and newly developed independent rear suspension. It was at this point that Sir William Lyons decided that the Mark II could use updating to remain competitive in the market. Devised as a major redesign of the Mark II, the S-type adopted a medium scale version of the Mark X’s independent rear suspension, as well as a noticeably longer rear end and interior updates. Europe got the choice of 3.4 and 3.8 S-Types while the US only got the top range 3.8 S-Type, which shared its motor with the Mark II. Further differences from the Mark II included a revised 3.5 lock-to-lock Burman power steering rack, replacing the old 4.3 lock-to-lock unit that was criticized for being excessively slow. Further structural and cosmetic changes to accommodate the S-Type’s independent rear and widened 54” rear track added almost 350 pounds. To compensate, the center of gravity was lowered with a revised roofline and sleeker rear end. The single 14 US gallon fuel tank in the Mark II was replaced with dual 8 gallon fuel tanks so that the spare tire compartment could be lowered and centered. Inside, a smaller scale Mark X burled walnut dash with cupholder / tray table and parcel shelf were added as well as new controls for the once again revised heating system. Small, concealed armrests were added to the wider front seats that had new integrated fore/aft adjustment. The rear passengers were also treated to a center armrest and Mark X style folding picnic trays. On paper, the added weight of the S-Type looked as if it could really dampen the fun but performance figures of the time didn’t lie…the 3.8 S-Type with an Automatic transmission could muster 0-60 in 11.5 seconds and could go on to 116 mph! As a result, they were very popular for people on both sides of the law.

We are very excited to offer this 1965 Jaguar 3.8 S-Type saloon! Finished in Sherwood Green over Red Ambla upholstery, this Jaguar is sure to catch attention! Fitted with its original, numbers matching 3.8L motor with correct twin SU HD6 carbs, it also has the following factory options: Automatic transmission, AM/FM radio, Speed-hold and Chrome wire knock-off wheels! This car maintains standard features such as full Smiths gauges (speedometer/odometer, tachometer/clock, water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level and amps), Lucas day/night rear-view mirror, dual visors with passenger vanity mirror, four wheel disc brakes, Powr-Lok limited-slip rear end with 3.54 gearing, bumper guards, and seat belts. Looking closer, you will find original 1964 date-coded Triplex glass and the original owner’s manual.

While the car does run and drive, we are presenting the car as a project. The exterior of the car has been partially repainted and clear coated and the red interior appears to have been replaced at some point. Both are showing signs of wear and age, as is the burled walnut on the dash, which we believe to be original. This car has brand new chrome wire wheels wrapped in Michelin HydroEdge 205/70 R15 tires. The exterior chrome with the exception of the bumpers, is in decent shape; the door trim is shiny and smooth but the bumpers, hood trim, license plate surround, passenger front door handle and emblem will likely need redone. In the interior, the chrome is in excellent shape and all the wood on the doors, B-pillars and rear is all new. As mentioned, the dash appears original and untouched. In the trunk is an original wire wheel and a tool kit complete except for one screwdriver. Once warmed up, this Jaguar runs great, shifts smooth and has no trouble getting up to speed. The car comes with a plethora of service records including $18,801 in receipts and records since 2006. They were done at Autos of Europe, Inc of Manchester, MO and are as follows:

6/19/06 - $8,732.67 – Cooling system service, reseal intake manifold, repair rear subframe, brake fluid service, replace rear brakes and rotors, remove and install rear suspension, replace rear brake calipers, replace emergency brake system, install thermostat and repair housing, replace radiator and fuel hoses, differential service and reseal, remove and rebuild carbs, oil filter, replace tie rod ends, replace center line, repair shut-off valve and a transmission service.

11/29/07 - $4,172.67 – Adjust carb, replace tires, balance wheels, replace front brakes and rotors, repair front brake calipers, check and repair heater blower, remove and reinstall all rear wood panels.

9/28/12 - $2,467.31 – Oil change, check tire pressures, fluid top-off, carburetor float rebuild, remove fuel tank/inspect/seal/reinstall, remove and replace fuel cold sender, replace exhaust from the manifold back, powder coat manifold black.

The car presents a drivable project for a Jaguar enthusiast looking to restore a classic saloon! The odometer shows 80,086 miles and it is working. We believe these miles to be original but have no way of being certain. We would be more than happy to answer any additional questions and better explain any aspects of the car that may be of further interest! Thanks for looking!

Jaguar Land Rover might buy another luxury brand that it doesn't need

Mon, Sep 25 2017

It seems that Jaguar Land Rover may be getting bigger in the near future. According to Bloomberg, the company is looking at acquiring some tech companies, and possibly yet another luxury car brand, provided that it fits with the current lineup of cars. On the surface, this makes some sense since Bloomberg reports that a whopping 78 percent of Tata Motors' revenue comes from luxury brands. And of course, any kind of tech acquisition could be useful considering the rapid development of electric and autonomous vehicles. But dig a little deeper, and a possible luxury brand acquisition just doesn't make sense for Jaguar Land Rover. The main reason for this is that the Jaguar and Land Rover brands have the luxury market thoroughly covered. Both brands offer full luxury lines from entry-level to high-end ( Discovery Sport to Range Rover on the Land Rover side, and XE to XJ on the Jaguar side). They also cater to every kind of luxury, from sporty vehicles such as the F-Type and SVR Land Rovers, to cushy luxury machines such as the XJ and Range Rover. So whether the company is competing with BMW or Mercedes, Jaguar and Land Rover have the bases covered. There aren't any other typical luxury brands that would actually add anything to the current lineup. In fact, adding another conventional luxury brand could actually result in the new brand poaching existing Jaguar and Land Rover buyers, rather than picking up new ones. What would make more sense for Jaguar Land Rover would be to pick up either a more mainstream brand, or an ultra-luxury marque. Neither Jaguar nor Land Rover has something that competes directly with the likes of Ford or Toyota in the mainstream game, or Rolls-Royce or Bentley at the top of the luxury heap. Picking up a brand in one of these segments would allow JLR and Tata Motors to actually expand offerings and pick up more sales, rather than having an internal competitor. What path would be ideal? Probably going even farther upmarket. Supercar makers and ultra-luxury brands continue to sell well, and there's the potential for significant profit by layering on features and content to existing platforms. Perhaps the best possibility for a high-end complement to Jaguar Land Rover would be Aston Martin. Not only does it have a strong reputation and line-up, it also could handle both supercars and luxury sedans, thanks to its Lagonda sub brand. Of course it would require Aston Martin to be receptive to a purchase.

Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.

Jaguar XE to start at $35,895, XF at $52,895

Thu, Sep 3 2015

Jaguar has announced pricing for two of its most anticipated models, the new, entry-level XE sedan and the second-generation XF. The British marque also released price changes across its range and unveiled a new customer service pack called EliteCare. As you can see from the headline, the new XE starts at $35,895. That'll score you the base model, the so-called 25t, and its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That puts the baby Jag right in the meat of a very competitive segment. It'll be undercut by the Cadillac ATS, BMW 320i, and Acura TLX, but it's a good bit more affordable than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Infiniti Q50, or Lexus IS. If you like your fuel extra smelly and your torque to be offered by the bucket-full, be prepared to shell out $37,395. The 340-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged-V6-powered XE 35t will require at least $42,695. The XE's big brother, meanwhile, is subject to a significant price drop. The new base model, the 340-horsepower 35t, rings up at just $52,895, or over $5,200 less than the entry level V6-powered 2015 XF. Once again, Jag has parked itself in the middle of a popular segment, although unlike the XE, the vehicles that undercut the XF – the Infiniti Q70 and Acura RLX – are old or not particularly popular among consumers. That's good news for JLR, since the new sedan easily undercuts the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6, while sneaking in just below the likes of the Mercedes E-Class or Cadillac CTS. And if you're in mourning for the 2.0-liter, turbocharged XF, don't be – the new 35t is only $2,000 more expensive, is lighter, and has 100 more horsepower. Finally, we have Jaguar's new EliteCare program. Essentially, should you purchase anything from model year 2016 and beyond, your car will be subject to a limited warranty, free scheduled service, and 24/7 roadside assistance for five years or the first 60,000 miles of ownership. Owners will also have access to Jaguar's InControl Remote and Protect services for the first 60 months. According to the Brits, the warranty is the best in the class, while the free maintenance lasts longer than the competition. Read on for the full press release from Jaguar, which includes details and other small pricing tweaks for the company's range.
