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.

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Jaguar C-X17 Concept teased before Frankfurt
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10, Jaguar is teasing the reveal of a design study to introduce its new advanced vehicle architecture. Dubbed the C-X17, the mysterious concept "illustrates the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand."
While it's not entirely clear what this architecture involves or what type of vehicle the C-X17 may be, this reveal is reminiscent of Jaguar's decision to unveil the C-X16 concept, a hybrid electric sports car, in Frankfurt in 2011. From the looks of the teaser image Jaguar released (click above to enlarge), we're guessing the C-X17 will be something between a low-slung crossover and a sporty wagon. But we won't have to wait too long to find out - Jaguar is streaming the live pre-show reveal to invited guests on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 9.
In addition to the C-X17, Jaguar be showing off the performance-oriented XJR and XFR-S, and, of course, the F-Type convertible. Scroll down for the official press release.
Evil Brits star in Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl commercial
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Chrysler's Imported from Detroit commercial from Super Bowl XLV is one of the most powerful car commercials in recent memory, and Jaguar is taking a similar approach - albeit with a more villainous spin - for its first-ever Super Bowl spot titled Rendezvous. While Chrysler and Eminem focused on hometown cheerleading, Jaguar is using its $8 million (the going rate for a 60-second commercial in this year's game) to play up the Hollywood tradition of typecasting a Brit as the bad guy.
In the spot highlighting the all-new F-Type Coupe, Jaguar looked to director Tom Hooper (the man behind movies like The King's Speech and 2012's Les Misérables), who filmed on location in London with British bad guy actors Mark Strong, Ben Kingsley and Tom Hiddleston. As the commercial implies, Brits make perfect bad guys with their style, sound and power, which are all traits evident in the F-Type.
The commercial will air in the fourth quarter of this Sunday's game, but you can watch it now in the video posted below. Jaguar has also included a press release as well as a second behind-the-scenes video showing how the ad was made.
