 1 1962 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 The series 1 E-Type was introduced, initially for export only, in March 1961. The domestic market launch came four months later in July 1961. The cars at this time used the triple-SU carburreted 3.8L six-cylinder XK6 engine from the XK150. All E-Types featured independent coil-spring rear suspension with torsion-bar front ends, four-wheel disk brakes (inboard at the rear) and all brakes were power-assisted. Jaguar was one of the first manufacturers to equip cars with disk brakes as standard starting from the XK150 in 1958. 3.8 litre cars have leather-upholstered bucket seats, an aluminum-trimmed centre instrument panel and console and a Moss 4-speed gearbox that lacked syncromesh on first gear. |
 2 1948 Jaguar 2.5 Litre Drophead coupe (MKIV) The Jaguar 2.5L DHC was an executive car built by Jaguar Cars Ltd in Coventry England from 1945 to 1949. These cars are essentially a continuation of the 1938-39 models. The museum's exmple has the 2.5 L engine but they were also built in 1.5 and 3.5 sizes. The MKIV was the first for the company following the return to production after WWII. The 1.5L 4-cyclinder OHV and the 2.5L 6-cylinder engines were supplied by Standard Motor Company but the 3.5L six was developed in house. In total there were 6,281 2.5L cars produced of which 790 were drophead coupes. The 2.5L was capable of 90 MPH and 0-60 in 17.2 seconds. Unfortunately, these cars still used mechanical brakes. They are rare today, sought after and are one of the few post-war cars the Classic Car Club of America considers to be a full classic. |
 3 1936 Jaguar SS One The SS One is a British four-door sports saloon built by Swallow Coachbuilding Company in Foleshill, England. It was manuafactured between 1932 and 1936 during which time 148 cars were built. The company's name changed to Jaguar Cars Ltd in 1945. According to the Jaguar Registry, the museum's car left the factory on 11 May 1935 and was shipped to New Zealand. It was imported to Western Australia in 1991 and is believed to be one of five cars with the 4-cylinder 1.5L engine remaining in the world. Note: I saw one of these cars in Sinsheim, Germany. Widely considered to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing Jaguar cars it is also one of the rarest, with only 198 of the 2.5-litre and 116 of the 3.5-litre models being made. Most stayed on the home market but 49 were exported. Cars in good condition will now regularly fetch in excess of £300,000. A near concours example was sold by auctioneers Bonhams at the Goodwood Festival of Speed back in 2007 for £199,500 but largely because of the rarity, auction prices for the SS100 have risen very strongly since then.Wikipedia |

The DMC-12 was the only model produced by the company, which was later liquidated as the US car market went through its largest slump since the 1930s. In 2007, about 6,500 DeLorean Motor cars were believed still to exist. |
