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.

Petrolicious profiles one of the final Jaguar E-Types
Wed, 10 Apr 2013There's no question that David Paddison has got a very lovely 1974 Jaguar E-Type convertible. The rubber bumpers of this late E-Type may distract ever so slightly from the purity of the lines, but that doesn't mean we're still not completely jealous of the latest Petrolicious subject car.
As usual, the team of vintage car videographers has done a fine job capturing a small moment of gear-headness with this latest installment - The Last of the Breed. We do wonder why we don't get to hear a little bit more of that famed Jaguar V12 rumble, however. There's just a whiff of engine and exhaust sound in the middle of the video, while the rest of the piece sounds like it was scored by Amy Grant's rhythm guitarist. See for yourself, below.
Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee season 2 opens with Sarah Silverman and Jag E-Type
Sat, 15 Jun 2013Season Two of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee kicked this week in style. How much more style is there to be had than in a 1969 Jaguar XKE, after all? This time around, Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman spend some time driving around in the "slinky, sexy" Jag, talking comedy and then grabbing breakfast.
In addition to the kickoff of the show's second season, this episode also represents the start of a 24-episode sponsorship with Acura. The original deal promised short ads at the beginning and end of each episode, but this time around, Seinfeld "stumbles upon" a 2014 Acura RLX, which is obviously - and admittedly - the work of product integration. Scroll down to watch Seinfeld and Silverman exchange banter with the Jag's beauty as a happy backdrop.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
