2010 Jaguar XK Series

A name that represents luxury and elegance in the automotive world, Jaguar Cars understandably holds Royal Warrants from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness Prince Charles. Jaguar originated from the Swallow Sidecar Company, which was founded in 1922 by motorcycle enthusiasts William Lyons and William Walmsley in Blackpool, England. In 1935, one of the company’s manufactured sedans was given the name Jaguar and ten years later, the entire company adopted the name. However, it wasn’t until the ‘50s that Jaguar began to establish a name for itself in the business of luxury cars. Recently fully acquired by India’s Tata Motors, Jaguar remains among the top ranking premium performance car brands in the world.
