< Go Back The beast of prey or the car of beauty Posted: Nov 21, 2018 Jaguar -when we hear this we
think of a ferocious beast which roams the jungle with poise and power, moving
silently and with a purpose. In ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures the jaguar was
a symbol for power and strength and the skin was used in many ceremonies.
The Jaguar in the Aztec civilisation was used to depict rulers or warriors;
they had an elite warrior branch which was dubbed �Ocēlōmeh� (Jaguar Knights).
But, we are not here to talk
about the near threatened wild cat that is the job of the IUCN. We are talking
about the great British car brand Jaguar. Founded in 1935 and originally
producing sidecars for motorcycles, then after multiple mergers with different
companies Jaguar was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1984. Jaguar has
manufactured cars for the British prime minster and also has royal warrants
from both Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles.
Jaguar has been bought and sold
many times and has also nearly gone extinct, just like its name sake. Purchased
in 1990 by Ford, then joined by Land Rover in 2000 both were sold to Tata Motor
in 2008. The two were merged together to form Jaguar Land Rover Limited which
now acts as the single manufacture and sales company for both Jaguar and Land
Rover cars.
We as a company are proud to
boast both brands of Vehicles on our fleet. We recently added Multiple Jaguar
XJL Autobiographies to our fleet. The XJ has a tremendous 3.0 litre V6 engine;
it also is turbocharged for that extra oomph. The Jaguar has a top speed of
155mph and can do 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds, not that that will be needed whilst
being chauffeured but it is a nice thought to know it is there if needed. In
the rear passenger section it also comes with two 10 inch HD screens for your
entertainment on; long journeys, airport transfer or any sort of sightseeing tour. This car is perfect for your luxury private hire journey.
So, if you feel like you can
handle the Jaguar why not give it a go and book a journey with us!
