Frequently Asked Questions about Classic Jaguar
Jaguar traces its origins to the Swallow Sidecar Company, founded in 1922 in Blackpool, England, by William Lyons and William Walmsley to build motorcycle sidecars. The business added coachbuilt car bodies, moved to Coventry in 1928, and in 1931 launched the SS 1, its own car on a chassis and engine supplied by the Standard Motor Company.
The Jaguar name first appeared in September 1935 on the SS Jaguar 2½ Litre saloon, which SS Cars launched at the Mayfair Hotel in London. It stayed a model name until 1945, when William Lyons announced that the company itself would be renamed Jaguar Cars. The change is widely attributed to the associations the SS initials had acquired during the war.
Jaguar was independent until 1966, when it merged with the British Motor Corporation to form British Motor Holdings, which became part of British Leyland in 1968. Jaguar regained its independence in 1984 through a share sale on the London Stock Exchange. Ford Motor Company bid for it in 1989, completed the takeover in 1990, and sold Jaguar and Land Rover to India's Tata Motors in 2008.
Classic Jaguars were built in Coventry, England. From 1928 the company worked from a factory off Holbrook Lane in the Foleshill district. It then moved to Browns Lane, a former Daimler wartime shadow factory, and completed the transfer in November 1952. The last car left the Browns Lane line on July 1, 2005, and production moved to Castle Bromwich in Birmingham.
The XK is the twin-overhead-camshaft inline six that powered most classic Jaguars. It debuted at the 1948 London Motor Show in the XK120 as a 3.4-liter unit rated at 160 horsepower and was later enlarged as far as 4.2 liters. It went into sedans and sports cars including the E-Type and XJ6, powered five Le Mans winners, and stayed in production until 1992.
Jaguar has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans seven times. The C-Type won in 1951 and 1953, the D-Type in 1955, 1956 and 1957, and XJR sports cars in 1988 and 1990. The 1953 victory by Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt was the first at Le Mans for a car with disc brakes, and the first won at an average of more than 100 mph.
Yes. XK-E, also written XKE, was the name the Jaguar E-Type carried in North America. The car was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961 with the 3.8-liter XK six, which was enlarged to 4.2 liters in late 1964. The Series 3 switched to a 5.3-liter V12, and production ended in 1974.
A Jaguar heritage certificate is ordered through the website of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, a charity based at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, England. The applicant supplies the car's chassis or VIN, engine, body and gearbox numbers and a copy of the title or registration, and pays a fee. The certificate lists original factory details such as color, trim, build and dispatch dates and first destination. It is not proof of ownership.
