Jaguar Owners Club

I believe they have also ceased production in the US as well as other global markets. Very strange times indeed! The saying 'all your eggs in one basket' comes to mind with Jaguar (and many other manufacturers) with the sole production of Electric Vehicles. Interesting article from BMW who are currently voicing their opposition to the proposed ICE ban https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/bmw-ceo-says-energy-raw-material-prices-remain-high-2022-04-14/

Jaguar will end all new UK sales in November meaning no new cars will be available from the firm until its electric revival starts in 2026. https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/jaguar/f-pace-production-ends/ Article source: Car Magazine - Ted Welford Published: 1st November 2024

A fantastic period piece featuring the iconic E-Type Jaguar (well what else are you going to use in a road movie). This fantastic film produced by Pirelli using an e-type (XKE) Jaguar to demonstrate their range of Cinturato Tires. By the time this film was made the Pirelli Cinturato range had already been available for over a decade.Pirelli’s Cinturato range of tires dramatically changed people’s perception of how good tires could be. They improved the handling of cars like an e-type Jaguar, when fitted with these progressive sports car tires. https://www.cinturato.net/tortoise-and-hare.html?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2gKn11c8-xaXDe3CsA4XlIcw6wMfdGqFki-z6VEGXrpr_u8USMJdKjVm8_aem_qOpi8lKqwyFk5IjgbhXVWw

I remember seeing that on show in the Uni many years ago

It's certainly getting to the age where you will see a decline in numbers with owners scrapping or breaking the car. As it's neither too new or too old, it is in a limbo stage to become a classic, as yet....however, if you've had the foresight to acquire one then it's worth hanging onto and keeping in tip-top condition to further increase its value as it becomes even rarer over time Feel free to post up some pics of it if you would like to?

Hi Neil....welcome to the Club As long as its Jaguar related you're welcome to post in the forums 🙂 Used to be the in-thing to strap a Jaguar IRS to the back end of custom cars back in the 70's and 80's very versatile and easy to fit as in a subframe and could huge amounts of power through the axle

Hi Dave....welcome to the Club Good to hear you're enjoying the Jaguar experience and long may it continue

Calling

HI Stephen....welcome to the Club I would start by connecting a battery conditioner (not just a charger but a smart conditioner which will restore the battery) or alternatively just replace the battery. Check and inflate the tyre pressures and also check the tyre condition for perishing and cracks. Check (and replace if necessary) the engine oil and other fluid levels Turn the engine over but do not necessarily start it immediately, e.g. if diesel then turn it over before the glow plugs kick in so that the engine is turning freely for a while to get the oil pressure up. If petrol engine, then disconnect the ignition coil electrical connections or fuel injector connectors. Ensure the brakes are not seized on and if so then gradually driving backwards and forwards until they release may work. Good luck and let us know how you get on with it all
