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.

Prince Harry drove Meghan Markle to their Royal Wedding reception in this electric Jaguar

Sat, May 19 2018

Well over a billion people all over the world tuned in to watch the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this morning, but now that it's all said and done, it's time to direct our attention to the car that the newly crowned Duke and Duchess of Sussex drove to their reception. The Jaguar E-Type Zero first debuted in September of 2017, but it's getting a whole heck of a lot more press today than it did then. Welcome to the Royal Family, Jag. Jaguar left as much of the original 1968 Series 1.5 E-Type in tact as possible while replacing the original inline-six engine with an electric motor and battery pack. Enough power is sent to the rear wheels to push this feline from 0-62 in just 5.5 seconds. That means it's quicker now than it was when new and chugging on gasoline. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The E-Type Zero's range of 170 miles is way more than enough to whisk the happy couple away from Windsor Castle to Frogmore House on the Windsor Estate, where Harry's father, the Prince of Wales, is hosting their wedding reception. But if it were to run out of juice, its 40kWh battery can be recharged in under 7 hours. Want one of your own? The Daily Mail says it'll cost GBP350,000 (that's over $470,000 here in the States). Just don't expect a customized license plate to match the date of your wedding. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.

Jaguar has something special planned for Goodwood

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

It's been barely a week since JLR announced its new Special Operations division, dedicated to creating limited-run halo cars and custom creations for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Now the British automaker has confirmed the debut of the division's first project.
We don't know what it is, exactly, that Jaguar will be bringing to the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week, but we bet it'll be exciting. If we were the betting kind, we'd put our money on some kind of hot-rod F-Type, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Alongside whatever JLR Special Operations has got cooking, Coventry will also be bringing the new F-Type R Coupe and XFR-S Sportbrake to run up the hill alongside a whole slew of classic and racing Jaguars, including a pair of D-Types, a Group 44 E-Type, a Group A XJS and the reunion of XJR-9 and Andy Wallace that last saw each other on the top step of the podium at Le Mans in 1988.
