The decade of the 1970’s forced all auto manufacturers to adhere to stringent US Federal safety emissions legislation. Jaguar’s answer was the production of the V12 engine based on a 5.0 liter concept used in the XJ13 racing prototype.  The all aluminum 5.3 liter engine with single overhead cams on each bank of cylinders was capable of launching the E-type to 100 mph in 15.5 seconds.  Auto enthusiasts all over the world deem the Jaguar V-12 as “one of the world’s greatest engines.”

A total of 15,287 Jaguars were produced in 1973. Only 7,297 2+2 coupes were produced, thus making this a very rare car.

This 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+2 is in excellent condition. A California car, this XKE was in the same family of doctors until the third owner, also a doctor, purchased the car. It now resides with a serious collector in the South.

Exterior is Indigo (Dark Blue) and the paint is in excellent condition.  All chrome and trim still looks showroom new.  The interior is a red leather bucket seat interior. No wear or tear, it is in new condition.

This 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+2 has always been garaged and was not driven in inclement weather. Miles are 58,000 original miles.  This Jaguar is located in Louisiana.

Xcar drives Jaguar C-X75, other Spectre villains of 007

Thu, Oct 29 2015

James Bond returns to US theaters very soon in Spectre, and with the action-packed film wrapped, the producers are lending out the keys to some of the movie's automotive stars. We've already seen Jay Leno behind the wheel of Bond's Aston Martin DB10. Now, Xcar's Alex Goy has taken a turn in some of the flick's villainous rides from Jaguar Land Rover, including a very special Jaguar C-X75. The crew from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations team certainly did an impressive job of giving the movies baddies some appropriately nefarious rides. To challenge Bond, they turned the Land Rover Defender into a beast with chunky, off-road tires and blinding-spot lights. They also made the Range Rover Sport SVR even more diabolical than normal with a blacked-out look and LED lightbar. Of course, the king of Spectre's villain cars is the C-X75. According to Goy, most of the ones in the movie use the company's 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, but two are actually original prototypes with the hybrid setup. He gets to drive one of those special examples in this clip. While limited to some low-speed cruising, the coupe still looks wonderfully menacing on the road. Related Video:

Sun, 12 May 2013

The Jaguar F-Type is slinking its way into vastly divergent corners of the celebrity world. Lana del Rey is its songstress, Englishman-playing-American-terrorist Damien Lewis lead its cinematic debut in Desire, San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick gets the athletic endorsement, and now it's just been driven behind the "Adults Only" doors at the Playboy Mansion: Raquel Pomplun was gifted a year's use of an F-Type for being named 2013 Playmate of the Year.
There's a video below of Pomplun and her F-Type getting 'camera ready,' and a press release below that in case you want to, you know, "read the article."

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.
