1950 Jaguar Mk V on 2040-cars
Templeton, California, United States
The Jaguar MkV (produced from 1948-1951) was debuted at the same time as the XK120, yet it outsold the latter more
than 2 to 1. The new MkV chassis, more powerful engine, torsion bar suspension (equipped with double wishbones and
a single torsion bar in front) and 18" wheels produced an altogether smooth ride characteristic with traditional
balance of comfort. In addition, the MkV featured hydraulic brakes and Coker radial tires, unlike its predecessor,
resulting in safe and enjoyable touring. The styling of the car followed prewar SS-Jaguar lines with upright chrome
grille and the leaping Jaguar radiator cap mascot became available as an option.
This numbers matching example has been the subject of an extensive restoration and is in excellent condition both
mechanically and cosmetically. It is owned by an estate of an elderly gentleman collector. The three-position top,
sumptuous Burgundy leather interior, deep black and yellow paint, exquisite wood dash and trim, and re-plated
chrome accents are all in near perfect condition.
The car comes with a set of hand tools in the boot and quite a few spare parts. This beautiful Jag is completely
ready for the next owner to enjoy. This is one of a very rare handful of examples where the owner special ordered
the car with factory wire wheels. Fender metal is perfect with no lead or bondo build up.

Jay Leno's Garage features funnyman's 1963 Jaguar E-Type
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Jay Leno looks inward on this episode of his eponymous garage, checking out a 1963 Jaguar XKE that he bought earlier this year. It is an example of his favorite kind of car, that being original and unrestored. He bought the E-Type from its first owner, a woman who purchased it new, held on to it for 50 years and took excellent care of it. Having never been in an accident, Leno says even the paint is 85- to 90-percent original.
In the video, the XKE sits in front of two heavily modded XK120s and another '63 XKE, but Leno said all he's done - and all he plans to do - is clean it up and put on a modern set of wire wheels for safety.
He's not on any junket and there are no guests, it's just a guy talking about an object dear to his heart. If you need a refresher on the excellent genes of the new F-Type, check out the video below.
This mule is the first evidence Jaguar is working on a 3 Series fighter
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Rumors of an entry-level, BMW 3 Series-fighting Jaguar sedan have been floating around for quite some time, but thanks to our intrepid spy photographers, we now have visible proof that such a model is, in fact, in the works.
Despite this tester's XF fittings, it's clear that what lies beneath is an entirely different beast. The doors have been shortened, roofline adjusted, rear deck lopped off and exhaust replaced, giving us a better idea of the new sedan's smaller dimensions and details. The new Jag, which may be dubbed "XS," is expected to ride on Jaguar's PLA (Premium Lightweight Architecture) platform, touting weight-saving materials that should do a lot to keep overall heft to a minimum. Both turbocharged four- and supercharged six-cylinder powertrains are expected to be on tap.
Codenamed X760, the new small sedan will reportedly hit the market in 2015. Earlier reports have indicated that a new crossover - Jag's first ever - riding on the same platform will arrive shortly thereafter, so that suggests that the platform will be fitted with all-wheel drive as well.
Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
