Find Used Jaguar Cars
The Jaguar car company began its history in the United Kingdom in
1922, then called the Swallow Sidecar Company. Jaguar quickly found
a niche with the British upper class looking for old world luxury.
When Swallow switched its focus to automobile production, the name
changed to SS Cars Ltd. in 1933. The first vehicle was the SS Jaguar
100, produced in 1935. The Jaguar name came about after WWII, as
they strived to get away from any association with the Nazis (which
had the same initials). Mark V. was a luxury sedan made in 1948, as
was the XK 120, a sports car that was held the title of fastest
production automobile of its day. This vehicle did a big job in
making Jaguar an established name. The automaker actually created a
vehicle just for the American consumer in the 1059s and called it
Mark VII Saloon. Jaguar eventually added the Mark VIII and Mark IX
to its lineup.
One of Jags most famous models, the E-type coupe was
rolled out in the 1960s. This vehicle had style and just as good
performance. Jaguar success rested on not only premier quality, but
also the popular trend of the British in the U.S., such as the
Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Americans wanted to get their hands
on anything to do with this country. Performance came to a whole new
level for Jaguar, as they launched the XJ-S HE and a true world
super-car, the XJ220. In 1990 Jaguar was bought out by Ford. There
was an influence of Ford for the next few productions, the XK8 and
supercharged XKR sports cars. Jaguar also introduced a lower priced,
entry luxury vehicle, the X-Type. Jaguar had always prided itself on
old world style vehicles, yet other automakers were going in the
opposite direction, with high tech, modern designs. In 2008 Jaguar
and Land Rover were sold to Tata, an Indian manufacturer. With their
new owner Jaguar has almost been reinvented, moving into modern
design and technology, while somehow keeping their old world charm.
