1959 Jaguar XK150 Drop Head Coupe with black California license plates; 100% original factory metal; and 81,222 original miles. No rust ever. Numbers-matching car with rare Black/Red color combination, per Jaguar's Heritage Certificate. A completely original car that was stored indoors for 35 years and recently restored. Over the past year the entire car was disassembled and taken to metal, hand dollied and hand blocked, and painted with the finest base/clear paint. All body rubbers and seals are replaced new, new interior, new top. The undercarriage was taken to metal and sealed with epoxy primer and paint for 30 year rust protection (all factory spot welds are still visible). Owned by a famous U.S. Navy Seal and cowboy shooter named James Gordon, whose job in the early 1970's was to infiltrate nuclear-armed vessels and plant fake bombs: Only the Admiral of the U.S. Navy knew what vessel James Gordon would hit, and his penetration rate was 70%, often climbing up ship anchor chains in a frog suit like an American James Bond. Later in life James Gordon was the #1 competition cowboy shooter in the country, named "Yuma Jim." He bought this Jaguar in 1969 and drove it during his Seal career when he lived in Vallejo, CA. He stopped driving the car in the late 1970's and started restoring it, accumulating many of the parts we used to complete the project. A fine example of one of the most stylish cars every built.

Wacky Jaguar crossover mule is a mind-blowing mashup
Tue, 03 Dec 2013As Jaguar prepares to introduce its first-ever utility vehicle, our spy shooters have captured this jacked-up XF mule out testing. While a production Jaguar crossover will surely resemble something closer to the recent C-X17 Concept, we can't help but think that the automaker could sell at least a few of these lifted, four-wheel-drive sedans.
Other than proving that Jaguar is hard at work developing this new model using a cobbled-together body, there are some details we can put together about this luxury CUV. For one it's about the same length as an XF, while the ride height is obviously taller and the tire track wider. We're not sure what the rig on top of this mule is for, but the whole car has us reminiscing about the old sedan versions of the Subaru Outback and the AMC Eagle (with a luxury spin, of course).
Which is hotter, Lana Del Rey or the Jaguar F-Type?
Fri, 15 Feb 2013Lana Del Rey's "Burning Desire" video, the first musical collaboration between Jaguar and its hired songstress, is half music video, half long-form lifestyle commercial for the 2014 F-Type. If you like Del Rey channeling glamorous fifties fame as she lays down vocals of sensuous, languid dolor over images of black-and-white yesteryears, you'll like this song off of her new EP, Paradise.
We think the appearance of a red and brand-new Jaguar, though, is incongruous - either Del Rey or Jaguar is the anachronism, take your pic. That's not to say it's not beautiful, however, so enjoy the combination in the video below.
Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
