Jaguar Xk 2 Door Coupe on 2040-cars
Graham, Texas, United States
My wonderful XK150 Fixed Head Coup cared for and meticulously maintained this excellent driving machine for over 40 years. It was always garaged kept at his home in Oregon. I was fortunate enough to acquire it from him about a year and a half ago and planned on keeping it in my collection for many years to come. Due to health reasons I am forced to reduce my beloved car collection.This beautiful example of a classic Jaguar sports car could possibly be one of the finest drivers in the country. It is not a trailer queen! It had a cosmetic makeover more than 20 years ago and still shows very respectable. The body and chassis are solid with no sights of rust except the battery box pan which needs to be replaced. The chrome is in very good original condition and the leather interior only shows minor wear as can be expected. The mechanics on this beauty are in like new condition with almost perfect cylinder compression, no smoke from the exhaust even on start up, smooth shifting, overdrive engages perfectly, oil pressure is excellent even at idle, never overheats, and starts immediately with the touch of the starter button.I have spent over $7000 in repairs and maintenance to make sure this car is in top condition. This includes new batteries, complete brake system overhaul with new lines, pads, rebuilt wheel and master cylinder, all fluids changed, new oil pump, replace harmonic balancer, complete tune up, rebuild both SU carburetors, and replace overdrive solenoid and throttle switch.You will not be disappointed in this excellent example of a superb British sports car!

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
Jaguar lets first outsiders drive new F-Type
Mon, 17 Dec 2012What do you do when you're an automaker with an all-new and brand-defining sports car, one of them with a supercharged V8 cranking out 495 horsepower? You let proven race drivers test them out on track and on the road.
And what do you do if you're Jaguar and you're in that situation? Why, naturally, you make a video of it. That's how we get footage of racers Martin Brundle, Justin Bell and Christian Danner being choppered into the UK's Snetterton track to test the V6-equipped Jaguar F-Type S prototype. Then when they're finished with kerb-lined apexes, they take the V8 S prototype out onto the roads to run it through hedge-lined apexes.
According to one of them, "very fast, very nimble, great engine" is what will soon be headed our way. Check it out in the video below.
Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
