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.

2023 Cadillac Lyriq vs Tesla Model Y, Audi E-Tron, Jaguar I-Pace | Specs compared

Wed, Apr 21 2021

The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is the latest electric luxury crossover to enter a quickly growing segment. It brings with it the company's trademark creased design language along with high-tech features and an impressive amount of range. The Cadillac also happens to have a price and specifications that put it square in the middle of a competitive group, so we had to line up the numbers to see how it compares. We've gathered up a selection of premium electric crossovers including the Tesla Model Y, Audi E-Tron and Jaguar I-Pace, all of which seem like the closest rivals for the Cadillac. We've assembled all the raw numbers in the chart below. We've also got some additional analysis below that. And now, onto the data. Power, range, efficiency Interestingly, the Cadillac is the least powerful of the bunch. This is a bit surprising considering that GM will have a 1,000-horsepower electric Hummer pickup coming out soon. But in the Lyriq, Cadillac only uses a single electric motor powering the rear wheels. While its 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque should be more than adequate, it falls short of all the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive competition. Because Tesla does not provide horsepower or torque numbers, we're not sure how much the base model makes. We assume it's close. The true power fiends will likely want the optionally available Model Y Performance, though. It also doesn't have publicized power numbers, but its 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds suggests its substantially more powerful than the other crossovers, here. Power is all well and good, but range is arguably more important for an electric car. The Tesla is on top, here. The base Long Range trim has an estimated range of 326 miles. The company doesn't specifically say how large the battery is for it or the Performance, which goes 303 miles. The Cadillac is close behind with a current estimate of more than 300 miles on its 100-kWh battery. Cadillac doesn't say whether that number is the gross amount or the usable amount. The Audi and Jaguar lag behind with less than 250 miles from their 95- and 90-kWh batteries, respectively. Audi is the only company that notes that the usable capacity is less than the total, which is a common strategy employed to extend the life of the battery and to maintain consistent ranges over time. 2020 Audi E-Tron View 13 Photos While not as broadly discussed as range, we also wanted to touch on efficiency.

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.

Jaguar to follow up with larger J-Pace crossover

Mon, Jun 1 2015

Jaguar is about to launch its first foray into the crossover market (that's the C-X17 Concept you see above) with the upcoming debut of the F-Pace, but that won't be its last. According to the UK's Car magazine, plans are already underway to launch a bigger J-Pace crossover as well. Just as the F-Pace is set to serve as the high-riding counterpart to the XF sedan, so too would the J-Pace align itself with the upcoming new XJ – in a strategy not unlike what Mercedes is taking with its crossovers, aligning the GLE (nee M-Class) with the E-Class, the upcoming GLS (GL-Class) to the S-Class and so on. That would make the J-Pace a rival to the likes of the aforementioned GLS and Audi Q7. Tipped to launch in 2019, the Jaguar J-Pace is expected to borrow its aluminum underpinnings from the flagship Range Rover, but take a sportier, more dynamic approach than the top-of-the-line Landie. Expect V6 and V8 engines to be offered, alongside diesel and hybrid powertrain options. The J-Pace has reportedly won out over other proposals to expand the XJ family with coupe, convertible and wagon variants, as the crossover is expected to drive higher sales. Here's hoping those revenues could be poured back into those back-burnered projects, too. Related Video:
