Jaguar F-Type Coupe leaks before LA Auto Show reveal

Photos of the Jaguar F-Type Coupe were spotted on Tuesday in a German car magazine by the Zero2Turbo website, just hours before its scheduled debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. In short, it looks just as sexy, if not more than its convertible counterpart. The full reveal of the new coupe will be streamed live right here at Autoweek at 10 p.m.

McLaren F1 sells for $8.47 million at Gooding & Co’s Pebble Beach Auction

McLaren F1 chassis #66 (pictured) has sold for $8.47 million There’s been an inexorable rise in the price of classic cars in recent years as rich men realise that certain classic cars not only have huge appeal, but appear to be going only one way in price. Add to that – certainly in the UK – that any profits made on the sale of a classic car you’ve bought for your own enjoyment are tax free, and it’s no shock that values keep rising, and the rarer the car the more they rise. So with only 64 road cars made, the McLaren F1 can be considered a sound investment, with values rising since it first sold in the 1990s for around £640,000 to a new world record auction price set last night of £8.47 million (around £5.42m).
