Named "ONE OF THE 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL VEHICLES EVER BUILT" by Motor Trend Magazine.  This elegant coupe is one of only approximately 1800 to ever come to the States.  It is easy to see that this beauty has been pampered from day 1.  In addition, I had a well known Jaguar dealer fully service the car.  Being a perfectionist, I then had an award winning shop set up the car for her next 100,000 miles. 

To sell a great car like this one, I think you should know the seller somewhat as well.  I have had a great love for cars and trucks for over 60 years.  Since 1982, I have built, customized, or restored 657 fine cars, trucks and SUV's.  I have 6 cars in national museums.  A Chevy SSR I built was named BEST IN THE WORLD by the General Motors team that actually designed the car for Chevrolet.  I built a series of 25 commemorative vehicles as a tribute to my friend, automotive genius, Don Yenko.  I am the only builder ever to have two cars featured in a single issue of Car Restomod Annual.  In brief, I love cars and believe in striving for perfection. Please have a look at my website just to give you a better idea as to the car I offer now.   yenko-wildfire.net

This is a nice Jaguar!!!

I wanted the car as close to new as possible.  I had them perform all things preventative, including struts, shocks, knock sensors, wheel bearings, brakes, transmission, differential, and a thorough tuneup including plugs and wires.  In short, I call it my 84 point inspection and correction of all things mechanical, electrical, functional and safety oriented.  After all things were upgraded or completed, I am able to include a 36 month/unlimited mileage warranty through CARS.

This Ultra-rare and pampered piece of rolling art has only 98,854 actual miles or less than 6800 miles per year!  This car is the final descendant of the legendary E-Type and features Jaguars first use of an incomparable V8 engine with just under 300 HP.  The power is there.  The handling is exhilirating and in my latest 2400 mile "test drive", I got 24.9 mpg AND that's with my lead foot.

The major negative for this vaunted speciman is that it may take up to 10 minutes to fill the gas tank........3 minutes to fill it and 7 minutes to field comments and questions from interested parties.

A hoot to drive and ready for the road course or concourse.  Lovely piece of road art that you won't pass on the highway like your Corvette, Mercedes or BMW.

A very realistic reserve lets you own this wonderful car for well under its true value and its neo-classic increasing value.

Glad to answer your inquiries at 814-229-3402  or billrea33@comcast.net  The car resides most of the time near Dallas, Tx.  Shipping is possible.  I reserve the right to end the auction early, as I am advertising the car locally.  The first person to see and drive her will definitely be the next owner.

Jaguar bringing all-wheel-drive F-Type to LA Auto Show [w/video]

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Jaguar's big splash at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show was showing off the slinky F-Type Coupe; perhaps one of the loveliest car shapes on the road today. This year the company won't have a show-stopping new design to offer, but the news that all-wheel drive is coming to the F-Type range is, nevertheless, pretty spectacular.
Mixed in with news about a technical partnership between Jaguar and the Bloodhound SSC World Land Speed Record program, the British brand announced this morning that it will show the first AWD F-Type Coupe at the 2014 LA show later this month.
Jaguar tells us that the sure-footed cat, in AWD F-Type R Coupe form, will run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, with a limited top speed of 186 mph.

Jaguar C-X17 Concept teased before Frankfurt

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10, Jaguar is teasing the reveal of a design study to introduce its new advanced vehicle architecture. Dubbed the C-X17, the mysterious concept "illustrates the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand."
While it's not entirely clear what this architecture involves or what type of vehicle the C-X17 may be, this reveal is reminiscent of Jaguar's decision to unveil the C-X16 concept, a hybrid electric sports car, in Frankfurt in 2011. From the looks of the teaser image Jaguar released (click above to enlarge), we're guessing the C-X17 will be something between a low-slung crossover and a sporty wagon. But we won't have to wait too long to find out - Jaguar is streaming the live pre-show reveal to invited guests on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 9.
In addition to the C-X17, Jaguar be showing off the performance-oriented XJR and XFR-S, and, of course, the F-Type convertible. Scroll down for the official press release.

Say goodbye to Jaguar's vestigial oval grille

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Jaguar has been on a campaign to replace any and all retro cues with modern ones. Just look at the current XJ and the one it replaced, or the XF and the S-Type that came before it and you'll know what we mean. The one remnant is the XK and its oval grille, in and of itself a throwback to Jags of old (which started to look more like a certain Star Wars alien in above-pictured XKR-S form). But don't expect it to hang around.
Newer Jaguars have been ditching the oval aperture for a more squared-off one, and the next XK will have to fall in line. But don't expect that to be the only change in store for the next-generation Jaguar coupe and convertible.
With the new F-Type now holding the more enthusiast-oriented ground, the next XK is expected to grow bigger, softer and more luxurious. That will likely mean a more commodious back seat as well, though that shouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of space in the back of the current model...
