Jaguar S type

Jaguar Cars Limited is a luxury car manufacturer based in Whitley, Coventry, United Kingdom with two production plants in Castle Bromwich and Halewood. It was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company in Blackpool in 1922, changing to SS Cars Ltd in 1934 in Coventry, and finally becoming Jaguar Cars Ltd in 1945, followed by several subsequent changes of ownership. The company was bought by Ford Motor Corporation in 1989 becoming part of their Premier Automotive Group. On 26 March 2008 Ford and Tata Motors of India announced an agreement that Ford would sell its Jaguar and Land Rover operations to Tata for US$2.3 billion. On 2 June 2008 the sale to Tata was completed by both parties.
The Jaguar S-Type, introduced at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show, is a mid-size luxury/executive car introduced for the 2000 model year by the British marque Jaguar. The name was a revival of a previous Jaguar model, the S-Type introduced in 1963, while the bodywork appeared to have been inspired by the Jaguar Mark 2 of the same period. (from wikipedia)
