Jaguar to Present 'A Roadster Retrospective' at 2001 Los Angeles Auto Show

    IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 8 Jaguar will sponsor a special
display of its roadsters at the 2001 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show.  The
exhibit, "A Roadster Retrospective," will show Jaguar roadsters both new and
old to tell a story of the unprecedented heritage of open-top motoring that
only Jaguar can boast.
    "These cars represent a passion for motoring," said Mike O'Driscoll,
President of Jaguar North America.  "Since the earliest days of the SS 100 to
the future as embodied in the stunning F-TYPE, a passion for top-down driving
has always been an integral part of the essence of Jaguar."
    Vehicles on display will range from an SS 1 to the F-TYPE show car.  Also
included will be an SS 100, C- and D-type racers, XK 120, 140 and 150, XK-SS,
six-cylinder and V12 E-types and XJ-S.
    "Jaguar's roadsters are a natural fit to represent the Los Angeles
car-culture experience," said Andy Fuzesi, General Manager for the Show.
"We're excited to have Jaguar serve as the first automaker to kick-off this
inaugural feature at the Auto Show."
    Many of the vehicles in the Retrospective have considerable historical
significance, both in their rarity and the competition history they represent.
    The Retrospective will support Jaguar's main display and is located near
the show's main entrance.  On the main stand will be the full lineup of
Jaguar's 2001 products.
