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 C-X17 crossover concept revealed, hides new lightweight aluminum architecture

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Just as Jaguar teased earlier this month, the luxury marque is debuting its first-ever sports crossover concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins this week. In addition to previewing what a soft-roading Jag might look like, the C-X17 concept also showcases the brand's new advanced unibody aluminum architecture, which it calls the future of its brand.
The British automaker touts the new technical foundation as high-strength, lightweight and extremely stiff, and notes that it incorporates sustainable technologies such as a high-strength alloy made from recycled raw material. The architecture's flexibility means Jaguar will be able to simultaneously manufacture several vehicles on the same production line - a change that will ultimately help the automaker grow its product portfolio.
Indeed, if the C-X17 concept sees production, it would represent a completely new direction for Jaguar, which has previously focused on luxury sedans and sports cars. However, while Jaguar says a range of future models will be built using the new architecture, it hasn't yet mentioned a crossover. The first model to be built on the new underpinnings will launch globally in 2015, and it's - you guessed it - a premium midsize sedan.

Jaguar's ambitious turnaround plan will put a big focus on the American market

Tue, Jul 25 2023

Land Rover is on a roll, but it's been awhile since we've heard from sister company Jaguar. The company is concocting yet another turn-around plan, and recently-appointed CEO Adrian Mardell provided several details about what's in it and it means for the American market. Speaking to industry trade journal Automotive News Europe, the chief executive conceded that mistakes have been made. "[Jaguar] was incredibly successful in North America 25 years ago, before we took the compromises and the decisions we made," he explained. He stopped short of providing specific details but pointed out that Jaguar's best days have been "lost within Ford Motor Company data." If you need a crash course in Jaguar history, Ford bought the brand from British-Leyland in 1990 and sold it to India-based Tata in 2008. Mardell, who joined Jaguar Land Rover in 1990 and watched the group embark on a roller-coaster ride, sees big potential for growth on Ford's home turf. "There are 20 million millionaires in the United States alone. So, a lower volume [and a] higher price positioning is absolutely the right position for Jaguar today," he opined. In contrast, Jaguar has largely aimed for mainstream segments in recent years. The publication added that Jaguar's master plan calls for moving upmarket to fight in the same arena as Bentley and Porsche. As of writing, most buyers and journalists consider Jaguar an alternative to brands like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, and its current portfolio reflects this positioning: The XF competes in the same segment as the 5 Series, for example, while the F-Pace goes head-to-head against the X5. Moving upmarket is easier said than done, and there's no word yet on precisely how Jaguar will pull it off. We know that it's starting from scratch; it canceled the new XJ months before the big sedan's unveiling. Automotive News Europe learned that one of the models being designed to jump-start the brand is an electric four-door GT that will cost about GBP100,000 (around $128,000) when it goes on sale in 2024. Looking further ahead, the brand will continue to expand by launching two additional electric models. Their design will "split opinion." "What we will not worry about is being loved by everybody, because that is the kiss of death. That is what put Jaguar in the situation it is in today, which is with no equity whatsoever," outspoken JLR chief creative officer Gerry McGovern recently told a group of investors.

1964 Jaguar XKE slinks into Jay Leno's Garage

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The idea of altering a classic Jaguar E-Type might seem preposterous to some, but Jasen Len of XKs Unlimited managed to create a modified 1964 E-Type that stays true to the Jag's timeless design. Just a few months after Jay Leno featured his own original E-Type on Jay Leno's Garage, Len stopped by to show off his custom Jaguar creation.
Starting out with a rust-ravaged body, Len made the car just the way he wanted it to be. He started off with some minor changes to the car's exterior like the Le Mans-inspired racing lights and handmade front bumpers, handmade sills with integrated exhaust and flared rear fenders. Inside, he dropped the floor to make more interior space and reworked the E-Type's styling for more of a modern look. We have to say, if you're going to mess with a Series 1 E-Type, this is the way to do it.
Sadly, even though Len and Leno spend plenty of time talking about the car's 300-horsepower 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder, we never get to hear the car fire up. Check out the JLG video, which is posted below, and as a bonus, enjoy the gallery from Jaguar showing a 1961 E-Type.
