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.

Jaguar confirms XE reveal for September 8
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Jaguar has a whole raft of new products in the pipeline, from the long-awaited replacement for the XF mid-size sedan and a likely XJ-based replacement for the XK coupe and convertible to the production version of its C-X17 crossover concept. But arguably the most important will be the all-new XE, a compact sports sedan pointed squarely at the BMW 3 Series - a market segment which Jaguar last nipped at with the regrettable X-Type, one which it is now committed to tackling head on.
The British automaker has been trickling out a steady stream of details on its upcoming XE, from the initial announcement in March to the reveal of the disguised prototype in May and most recently the details released just last week of the new Ingenium engine family that will provide its motivation. Now Jaguar has confirmed the XE reveal timeframe and some more salient details of its chassis.
Set to be unveiled in London on September 8, the XE will reach European showrooms in 2015 and our shores in 2016. That's when buyers will be able to get their hands on what Jaguar is already characterizing as "a true driver's car; one that redefines the concept of the sports sedan."
Jaguar lifts the tailgate on XFR-S Sportbrake
Tue, 25 Feb 2014In the market for an amped-up Jaguar? Look for the letter R, adorning such performance models as the XFR and XJR sedans, the XKR coupe and convertible and the new F-Type R. But if it's bonkers performance you're after, you'll want to add the letter S into the mix as well. Jaguar uses the letters to connote its most hard-core performance variants like the two-door XKR-S and four-door XFR-S. And now it's applied them to the XF wagon as well, skipping the R treatment and going straight for the new XFR-S Sportbrake.
Leaked just the other day and headed for the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has now revealed its new power wagon in full. The XFR-S Sportbrake packs Coventry's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine boasting 542 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. That's the same version that powers the XKR-S and XFR-S sedan (not to mention the F-Type R and XJR), and drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic to rocket the estate to 60 in 4.6 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour.
That may be pretty quick, but doesn't quite stack up to the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model 4Matic Estate whose 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 offers up 577 hp and 590 lb-ft for a 3.6-second 0-60 time, or to the Audi RS6 Avant whose 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 churns out 552 hp and 516 lb-ft for a 3.9-second 0-62 sprint. Though the Jaguar is only a little behind in output, it's a good second slower where it's measured. Granted that the Benz and the Audi are both all-wheel-drive where the Jaguar powers the rear only, but if four-wheel traction is how you get the power to the road, we wonder why Jaguar wouldn't fall in line. Particularly when the Jag's starting price in the UK (don't expect to see it imported here) is quoted at £82,495 - several grand more than the £76,985 RS6 but just shy of the £85,880 Mercedes gets for the E63 S-Model wagon in the UK (where the less potent 'base' version is also available as the cheapest in the bunch at £75,885).
2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake
Tue, 17 Jun 2014We'd consider giving up vital organs for the opportunity to drive any number of vehicles on the Nürburgring: supercars, racecars, track cars, even hot hatches... but a station wagon? That might not seem like a top choice at first blush, but this is no ordinary wagon. This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake.
Now if that name leaves you scratching your head, there are several good reasons for that - not least of which is the unfortunate reality that, unlike so many performance-oriented crossovers and sport-utes, the Sportbrake is not offered in North America. But suppose it were, or that weren't a factor. You'd likely still be left wondering how the name Jaguar ended up on a station wagon in the first place, and how that machine wound up bearing the letters R-S, the suffix affixed only to Coventry's most hardcore performance models.
Our brief story goes back a little over two years to when Jaguar revealed the XF Sportbrake at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, giving its mid-level sedan an elongated roof and added cargo capacity. The Sportbrake may not be the first wagon to wear the Leaping Cat badge, but following the lamentable X-Type Sportwagon, it could be argued that the XF is the first authentic Jag estate.
