United States
|
The decade of the 1970’s forced all auto manufacturers to adhere to stringent US Federal safety emissions legislation. Jaguar’s answer was the production of the V12 engine based on a 5.0 liter concept used in the XJ13 racing prototype. The all aluminum 5.3 liter engine with single overhead cams on each bank of cylinders was capable of launching the E-type to 100 mph in 15.5 seconds. Auto enthusiasts all over the world deem the Jaguar V-12 as “one of the world’s greatest engines.” A total of 15,287 Jaguars were produced in 1973. Only 7,297 2+2 coupes were produced, thus making this a very rare car. This 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+2 is in excellent condition. A California car, this XKE was in the same family of doctors until the third owner, also a doctor, purchased the car. It now resides with a serious collector in the South. Exterior is Indigo (Dark Blue) and the paint is in excellent condition. All chrome and trim still looks showroom new. The interior is a red leather bucket seat interior. No wear or tear, it is in new condition. Engine is the original V-12 5.3 liter with automatic transmission.

Jaguar recalling XK Convertible and XF 2.0T sedan for unrelated issues
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that it will be recalling 1,989 XK Convertibles produced between October 1, 2010 and August 1, 2013. Model years ranging from 2011 to 2014 are part of the recall.
The issue has to do with one of the switches the switch that controls the opening and closing of the convertible top. The switch also has to do with the operation of the power windows. According to the Feds, the switch doesn't move down to close the power windows, meaning that the window could accidentally close on the finger or arm of an inattentive person.
In related news, Jaguar is also recalling 940 2013 XF sedans powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for a hose that can detach underhood, which could cause the engine to stall or could leave the driver without power steering or brakes.
Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl ad to feature F-Type Coupe
Sun, 10 Nov 2013Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.
