1963 Jaguar XKE

Jaguar Cars Ltd. was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company by Sir William Lyons in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before switching to passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after World War II due to the unfavorable connotations of the SS initials. Following several changes of ownership since the 1960s, Jaguar was listed on the London Stock Exchange and became a constituent of the FTSE Index until it was acquired by Ford n 1989. Jaguar also holds Royal Warrants from HM Queen Elizabeth and HRH Prince Charles.
