THE XK 150 JAGUAR:  The Jaguar XK 150, successor to the XK 120 and XK 140, and predecessor to the E-Type Jaguar Series participated in club racing and the twelve hour and twenty-four hours of Reims and Le Mans.  The XKs did not have the competitive success of the specialty Jaguar C-types or D-types.  The XK 150 was an evolution into a more comfortable Gran Turismo type car with all wheel disc brakes, wire wheels, and a plush interior, while maintaining the strong performance of the dual overhead cam six cylinder Jaguar engine.  The XK type is recognized as a beautiful and timeless example of a Grand Touring automobile.  As stated by AUTOCAR in a 1965 review of the XK 150: "Many believe that in years to come, the Jaguar XK 150 will become a connoiseur's car, sought after and treasured."

JAGUAR XK 150 S831033:  From my research and a review of prior owner's documents, this car was built in late August or early September, 1958 and first sold and registered in 1959.  This car has a 3.4 engine with manual four-speed transmission and is an all-matching numbers car.  It was originally a California car and was stored from 1979 until October, 1997.  The car had 82,020 miles when purchased by the prior owner in 1989 and was restored in 2005.  I purchased the car in 2010 and the odometer currently shows 82,920, which is believed to be the actual mileage.  It is a beautiful and well maintained example in Carmen Red exterior with Biscuit leather interior.  The paint was recently wet-sanded and shot with multiple coats of clear.  A specialist classic Jaguar mechanic has just finished going through the car, rebuilt all disc brakes, and carbureators, replaced the starting carbureator system as original and performed miscellaneous work as needed.  All systems are in good working order other than the gas guage and horn which are not operable.  The body is rust free and appears to be accident free.  All chrome is show quality and the knock-offs and spoke wheels are in excellent condition..  The car starts immediately and the engine sound with stainless dual exhausts turns heads.

This XK 150 is a beautiful example and, with minor effort, can be elevated to prime show-car quality.  It presently is an extremely nice driver.  I am selling the car due to a move to New York City.  I have priced the car to offer interested buyers an opportunity to acquire a truly classic car in excellent shape at a reasonable price.  Interested parties should feel free to email me with any questions or call me at (832) 588-6982.  I will coordinate any professional inspections for interested purchasers.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.  I will assist with transportation and coordinate with shipping agents for foreign buyers.  A $2,000 non-refundable deposit is required within three days with final payment due ten days following the end of the auction.  Seller reserves the right to terminaate the auction in an event of a prior local sale.

2016 Jaguar XF mule spied in Germany

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

From our best guess, the Jaguar test mule shown in these spy shots could very well be our first glimpse at the next-generation Jaguar XF, due out around the 2016 model year. The current XF has been around for five years already (launched in 2008), and this mule is likely testing powertrain or chassis components for a new version of the midsize Jaguar sedan.
With what seems to be a stretched wheelbase and wider track, this is almost certainly not a mule for the 3 Series-fighting Jaguar XS. That being said, though, there is also the outside chance that this could be a mule for other future Jaguar Land Rover products including a production version of the Jaguar C-X17 crossover or the Jaguar-based Range Rover Grand Evoque. Only time will tell what these images truly foretell, but if nothing else, it proves that Jaguar is definitely staying busy these days.

Stunning Jaguar E-Type Lightweight tribute featured by Petrolicious

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

This is a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type Coupe. Enzo Ferrari, Il Commendatore himself, called it "the most beautiful car ever made." It can count among its owners Steve McQueen, Brigitte Bardot and a number of other celebrities from the 1960s. It remains one of the prettiest and coolest cars ever.
While we don't normally prescribe to modifying classics like the E-Type, cars that are used for vintage racing, like this particular example, are certainly the exception. It's owned by Jason Len and is the subject of the latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
Len's 1964 E-Type has been fashioned to look like one of the rare Lightweight E-Types from 1963 and 1964. The aluminum-bodied E-Types, of which only a dozen were built, were all intended exclusively for racing, much like Len's heavily modified example. While it retains the 3.8-liter straight-six, its engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and body have been extensively tweaked and fettled to allow this classic Jag to compete with a field of V8s.

Jaguar names its 3 Series-fighter XE, packs it with Ingenium engines

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Jaguar is committed to emerging from the fringes of the luxury car market and into the mainstream. Just take a look at where it was a couple of decades ago and where it is now: In the 1980s, it had essentially two product lines, the XJ sedan and XJ-S coupe/convertible), and now it's got the XK coupe and convertible, the XJ sedan, the XF sedan and wagon and the F-Type coupe and roadster. But it's not about to stop there.
Coventry knows that if it's going to take on the German and Japanese heavyweights, it's going to need a compact sports sedan, and it's not about to repeat the mistake that was the X-Type. To that end, it's long been rumored to be developing a rival to the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class - it just hasn't given us much to go on. But that changes right here and now.
At the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has confirmed the imminent arrival of its new sports sedan, and along with the teaser image above, has given us some juicy details. For one, it'll be called the XE - fitting nicely alongside its big brothers the XF and XJ in Jaguar's growing sedan lineup. For another, it'll hit markets overseas in 2015 and arrive here in the United States in 2016.
