In this video XCAR takes a look at Roy “The Weasel” James, possibly the greatest getaway driver the world of crime has ever known. But at heart he was a racing driver and this video looks at how he went from racing other racers to racing the police and his role in the greatest heist in British […]

Silverstone Auctions is set to put “one of Europe’s finest collections of road going classic cars to come to market” on the block at The Salon Privé Sale on September 4th in London. Henry Pearman, the founder and CEO of Eagle (apparently “the world’s premier” Jaguar E-Type specialist, and looking at their website, we would have […]
When Jaguar announced it was going to build the final six lightweight E-Types it started building in the 1960s and then, well, forgot to finish the run, we here at OVERSTEER were interested, but not that excited. That was until we saw the finished product. Then we realised it wasn’t a product, it was a […]
The magnificent Chris Harris takes on the equally magnificent Jaguar F-Type Coupe R. Nothing else needs saying, really. Just watch – and enjoy – the video!
It’s over a year old, but this video from the guys at Roadkill where they buy an elderly Jaguar XJ for $1,000, throw a blower on it in a parking lot then drive it across California to go drag racing (using car washes to cool the engine along the way!) is brilliant! It’s painfully slow, […]
Despite its somewhat elderly underpinnings (it is, after all, based on the same – admittedly modified – platform as the S-Type) the XF Jaguar is truly every bit the modern mid-size executive/luxury sedan. With engines ranging from an absolutely brilliant 2-litre four-cylinder engine up to the monstrous 5-litre supercharged V8 in this XFR, the XF […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Jaguar XF 2.0i4 It’s an XF, Jim, but not as we know it… The XF gets a boost from Ford. An EcoBoost, that is, as the XF becomes the latest car to appear on our shores with Ford’s fantastic 2.0-litre four-cylinder giant killer under its bonnet. Although Jaguar would prefer it if […]
New Zealand Jaguar distributor, Motorcorp, has revealed local pricing and spec for the forthcoming small Jaguar sports car – the F-Type. The long-awaited convertible will be available in three models, with two different engines. The 3.0-litre 250kW/450Nm supercharged V6 kicks off the range at $140,000, while the more powerful 3.0-litre 280kW/460Nm supercharged V6 drops in […]
Tata has conclusively proven that it is getting into the swing of being a global car manufacturer with an act of colossal twattishness. The Indian giant’s Jaguar Land Rover arm has launched a trademark complaint against tiny East London-based arts collective/cafe bar/gallery JaguarShoes. Started in 2001, the JaguarShoes name was a leftover from a previous […]
In a move of pure awesomeness, Jaguar has announced that it will team up with legendary British Formula 1 team Williams F1 to build the C-X75 hybrid supercar. Appearing at the 2010 Paris Motorshow, the C-X75 was a show-stopper, powered by two mid-mounted turbines. Predictably the turbines have been dropped and replaced by two electric […]
