Jaguar Cars (/ˈdʒæɡjuː.ər/ JAG-ew-ər) is a brand of Jaguar Land Rover,[2] a British multinational car manufacturer headquartered in Whitley, Coventry, England, owned by Indian Tata Motors[3] since 2008.
Jaguar was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before developing passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after World War II to avoid the unfavourable connotations of the SS initials.[4] Sale to The British Motor Corporation followed in 1966, the resulting enlarged company now being renamed as British Motor Holdings (BMH), which in 1968 merged with Leyland Motor Corporation and became British Leyland, itself to be nationalised in 1975.
Jaguar was de-merged from British Leyland and was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1984, becoming a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index until it was acquired by Ford in 1990.[5] Jaguar has, in recent years, manufactured cars for the British Prime Minister, the most recent delivery being an XJ in May 2010.[6] The company also holds royal warrants from Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles.[7]
Jaguar cars today are designed in Jaguar Land Rover's engineering centres at the Whitley plant in Coventry and at their Gaydon site in Warwickshire, and are manufactured in Jaguar's Castle Bromwich assembly plant in Birmingham with some manufacturing expected to take place in the Solihull plant.
In September 2013 Jaguar Land Rover announced plans to open a 100 million GBP (160 million USD) research and development centre in Warwick, United Kingdom to create a next generation of vehicle technologies. The carmaker said around 1,000 academics and engineers would work there and that construction would start in 2014.[8][9]
Birth of the cars[edit]
The Swallow Sidecar Company was founded in 1923 by two motorcycle enthusiasts, William Lyons and William Walmsley leading to SS Cars Ltd. In 1935 the SS Jaguar name first appeared on a 2.5-litre saloon,[10] sports models of which were the SS 90 and SS 100.
Cash was short after World War II, and Jaguar sold the plant and premises of Motor Panels, a pressed steel body manufacturing company they had acquired in the late 1930s when growth prospects seemed more secure. The buyer was Rubery Owen.[11] Nevertheless, Jaguar achieved relative commercial success with their early post war models; times were also tough for other Coventry-based auto-makers and the company was able to buy from John Black's Standard Motor Company the plant where Standard had built the six-cylinder engines it had been supplying to Jaguar.[11]
Jaguar made its name by producing a series of eye-catching sports cars, such as the XK 120 of 1949, developed into XK 140 and XK 150, and the E Type of 1961. These were all successful and embodied Lyons' mantra of "value for money".[citation needed] They were successful in international motorsport, a path followed in the 1950s to prove the engineering integrity of the company's products.
Jaguar's sales slogan for years was "Grace, Space, Pace",[12] a mantra epitomised by the record sales achieved by the MK VII, IX, Mks I and II saloons and later the XJ6.
The core of Bill Lyons' success following WWII was the twin-cam straight six engine, a design conceived pre-war and realised while design staff at the Coventry plant were dividing their time between fire-watching (Coventry being a prime target of German bombers) and designing the new power plant.
To place this in context, benchmark for pre-war racing and competition engines was the "Double Knocker", or Twin Cam engine. Jaguar's new engine was a hemispherical cross-flow cylinder head with valves inclined from the vertical; originally at 30 degrees (inlet) and 45 degrees (exhaust) and later standardised to 45 degrees for both inlet and exhaust.
As fuel octane ratings were relatively low from 1948 onwards, three piston configuration were offered: domed (high octane), flat (medium octane), and dished (low octane).
The main designer, William "Bill" Heynes, assisted by Walter "Wally" Hassan, was determined to design the Twin OHC unit. Bill Lyons agreed over misgivings from Hassan. It was risky to take what had previously been considered a racing or low-volume and cantankerous engine needing constant fettling and applying it to reasonable volume production saloon cars.
The subsequent engine (in various versions) was the mainstay powerplant of Jaguar, used in the XK 120, Mk VII Saloon, Mk I and II Saloons and XK 140 and 150. It was also employed in the E Type, itself a development from the race winning and Le Mans conquering C and D Type Sports Racing cars refined as the short-lived XKSS, a road-legal D-Type.
Few engine types have demonstrated such ubiquity and longevity: Jaguar used the Twin OHC XK Engine, as it came to be known, in the Jaguar XJ6 saloon from 1969 through 1992, and employed in a J60 variant as the power plant in such diverse vehicles as the British Army's Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) family of vehicles, as well as the Fox armoured reconnaissance vehicle, the Ferret Scout Car, and the Stonefield four-wheel-drive all-terrain lorry. Properly maintained, the standard production XK Engine would achieve 200,000 miles of useful life.
Two of the proudest moments in Jaguar's long history in motor sport involved winning the Le Mans 24 hours race, firstly in 1951 and again in 1953. Victory at the 1955 Le Mans was overshadowed by it being the occasion of the worst motorsport accident in history. Later in the hands of the Scottish racing team Ecurie Ecosse two more wins were added in 1956 and 1957.
In spite of such a performance orientation, it was always Lyons' intention to build the business by producing world-class sporting saloons in larger numbers than the sports car market could support. Jaguar secured financial stability and a reputation for excellence with a series of elegantly styled luxury saloons that included the 3 litre & 3½ litre cars, the Mark VII, VIII, and IX, the compact Mark I and 2, and the XJ6 and XJ12. All were deemed very good values, with comfortable rides, good handling, high performance, and great style.
Combined with the trend-setting XK 120, XK 140, and XK 150 series of sports car, and nonpareil E-Type,[citation needed] Jaguar's Elan as a prestige motorcar manufacturer had few rivals. The company's post-War achievements are remarkable, considering both the shortages that drove Britain (the Ministry of Supply still allocated raw materials) and the state of metallurgical development of the era.
In 1951, Jaguar leased Browns Lane from The Daimler Company Limited, which quickly became its principal plant.[13] Jaguar purchased Daimler—not to be confused with Daimler-Benz or Daimler AG—in 1960 from BSA. From the late 1960s, Jaguar used the Daimler marque as a brand name for their most luxurious saloons.[14]
An end to independence: British Motor Holdings, British Leyland —Jaguar-Rover-Triumph[edit]
Pressed Steel Company Limited made all Jaguar's (monocoque) bodies leaving provision and installation of the mechanicals to Jaguar. In mid-1965 British Motor Corporation (BMC), the Austin-Morris combine, bought Pressed Steel. Alarmed by Jaguar's relegation to the position of non-preferred customer by the maker of the largest part of its product Sir William Lyons elected to not fight BMC's offer to buy Jaguar and BMC took control in September 1966.[15][16] In view of these significant acquisitions, Pressed Steel and Jaguar, BMC changed its name to British Motor Holdings[17] at the end of 1966.
BMH was pushed by the government to marry up with relatively well-managed prosperous Leyland Motor Corporation Limited, manufacturer of Leyland bus and truck, Standard-Triumph and, since 1967, Rover vehicles. The result was British Leyland, a new holding company which appeared in 1968, but the combination was not a success. The continuing management and financial difficulties of, especially, the Austin-Morris division (previously BMC) led to the Ryder Report and to effective nationalisation in 1975.
Temporary return to independence[edit]
Over the next few years it became clear that because of the low regard for many of the group's products insufficient capital could be provided to develop and begin manufacture of new models, including Jaguars, particularly if Jaguar were to remain a part of the group.[18]
In July 1984, Jaguar was floated off as a separate company on the stock market – one of the Thatcher government's many privatisations[19]– to create its own track record[20] and find (new supplies or, the government's preference,) a new supplier of capital —which turned out to be Ford.
Jaguar moves to a new higher price range[edit]
Installed as chairman in 1980, Sir John Egan was hailed as an industrial superman for Jaguar's unprecedented prosperity immediately after privatisation. In early 1986 Egan reported he had tackled 1. poor quality control, 2. lagging delivery schedules, 3. poor productivity, and laid off about 1/3 of the company's 10,000 employees to cut costs.[21] Commentators have since pointed out he exploited an elderly model range on which all development costs had been written off and raised prices as well as intensifying the push to improve Jaguar's quality but in the USA the price rises were masked by a favourable exchange rate.[22]
Ford Motor Company era[edit]
Ford made offers to Jaguar's US and UK shareholders to buy their shares in November 1989; Jaguar's listing on the London Stock Exchange was removed on 28 February 1990.[23] In 1999 it became part of Ford's new Premier Automotive Group along with Aston Martin, Volvo Cars and, from 2000, Land Rover. Aston Martin was subsequently sold off in 2007. Under Ford's ownership it never made a profit.[24]
Under Ford's ownership Jaguar expanded its range of products with the launch of the S-Type in 1999 and X-type in 2001. Since Land Rover's May 2000 purchase by Ford, it has been closely associated with Jaguar. In many countries they share a common sales and distribution network (including shared dealerships), and some models now share components, although the only shared production facility was Halewood Body & Assembly, for the X-Type and the Freelander 2. However operationally the two companies were effectively integrated under a common management structure within Ford's PAG.
On 11 June 2007, Ford announced that it planned to sell Jaguar, along with Land Rover and retained the services of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and HSBC to advise it on the deal. The sale was initially expected to be announced by September 2007, but was delayed until March 2008. Private equity firms such as Alchemy Partners of the UK, TPG Capital, Ripplewood Holdings (which hired former Ford Europe executive Sir Nick Scheele to head its bid), Cerberus Capital Management and One Equity Partners (owned by JP Morgan Chase and managed by former Ford executive Jacques Nasser) of the US, Tata Motors of India and a consortium comprising Mahindra and Mahindra (an automobile manufacturer from India) and Apollo Management all initially expressed interest in purchasing the marques from the Ford Motor Company.[25][26]
Before the sale was announced, Anthony Bamford, chairman of British excavator manufacturer JCB had expressed interest in purchasing the company in August 2006,[27] but backed out upon learning that the sale would also involve Land Rover, which he did not wish to buy. On Christmas Eve of 2007, Mahindra and Mahindra backed out of the race for both brands, citing complexities in the deal.[28]
Tata Motors era[edit]
On 1 January 2008, Ford formally declared that Tata was the preferred bidder.[29] Tata Motors also received endorsements from the Transport And General Worker's Union (TGWU)-Amicus[30] combine as well as from Ford.[31] According to the rules of the auction process, this announcement would not automatically disqualify any other potential suitor. However, Ford (as well as representatives of Unite) would now be able to enter into detailed discussions with Tata concerning issues ranging from labour concerns (job security and pensions), technology (IT systems and engine production) and intellectual property,[32] as well as the final sale price.[33] Ford would also open its books for a more comprehensive due diligence by Tata.[34] On 18 March 2008, Reuters reported that American bankers Citigroup and JP Morgan would finance the deal with a USD 3 billion loan.[35]
On 26 March 2008, Ford announced that it had agreed to sell its Jaguar and Land Rover operations to Tata Motors of India, and that they expected to complete the sale by the end of the second quarter of 2008.[36] Included in the deal were the rights to three other British brands, Jaguar's own Daimler, as well as two dormant brands Lanchester and Rover.[37] On 2 June 2008, the sale to Tata was completed at a cost of £1.7 billion.[38][39][40]
Assembly plant[edit]
The Swallow Sidecar company (SSC) was originally located in Blackpool but moved to Holbrook Lane, Coventry in 1928 when demand for the Austin Swallow became too great for the factory's capacity.[41] In 1951, having outgrown the original Coventry site they moved to Browns Lane, which had been a wartime "shadow factory" run by The Daimler Company. Today, Jaguars are assembled at Castle Bromwich in Birmingham. The historic Browns Lane plant ceased trim and final operations in 2005, the X350 XJ having already moved to Castle Bromwich two years prior, leaving the XK and S-Type production to Castle Bromwich
In 2000, Ford turned its Halewood plant over to Jaguar following the discontinuation of its long running Escort that year for Jaguar's new X-Type model. It was later joined by the second-generation Land Rover Freelander 2, from 2007. Jaguars ceased being produced at Halewood in 2009 following the discontinuation of the X-Type; Halewood now becoming a Land Rover-only plant.
A reduced Browns Lane site operates today, producing veneers for Jaguar Land Rover and others, as well as some engineering facilities. A new assembly plant was opened at Pune, India in April 2011.
Jaguar will begin producing the Jaguar XE - the replacement for the X-Type - at Land Rover's Solihull plant in 2015, the first non-4x4 passenger car to be produced at the plant since the Rover SD1 in the late 1970s.
Current car models[edit]
The F-Type convertible was launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, following its display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2012,[42] and is billed as a successor to the legendary E-Type. In fact, the Series III E-Type already had a successor, in the form of the XJS, which was in turn replaced by the XK8 and XKR. The F-Type nevertheless returns to the 2-seat plan that was lost with the introduction of the Series III E-Type, which was available only in a 2+2-seat configuration. It was developed following the positive reaction to Jaguar's C-X16 concept car at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. Sales will begin in 2013 with three engine choices; two variants of the AJ126 V6 petrol engine and the AJ133 V8 petrol engine.[43]
The Jaguar XF is a mid-size executive car introduced in 2008 to replace the S-Type. In January 2008, the XF was awarded the What Car? 'Car of the Year' and 'Executive Car of the Year' awards. The XF was also awarded Car of the Year 2008 from What Diesel? magazine. Engines available in the XF are 2.2-litre I4 and 3.0-litre V6 diesel engines, or 3.0 litre V6 and 5.0-litre V8 petrol engines. The 5.0 Litre engine is available in supercharged form in the XFR. From 2011, the 2.2-litre diesel engine from the Land Rover Freelander was added to the range as part of a facelift.[44]
The Jaguar XJ is a full-size luxury saloon. The model has been in production since 1968 with the first generation being the last Jaguar car to have creative input by the company's founder, Sir William Lyons. In early 2003, the third generation XJ arrived in showrooms and while the car's exterior and interior styling were traditional in appearance, the car was completely re-engineered. Its styling attracted much criticism from many motoring journalists who claimed that the car looked old-fashioned and barely more modern than its predecessor, many even citing that the 'Lyons line' had been lost in the translation from Mark 2 into Mark 3 XJ, even though beneath the shell lay a highly advanced aluminium construction that put the XJ very near the top of its class.[45]
Jaguar responded to the criticism with the introduction of the fourth generation XJ, launched in 2009. Its exterior styling is a departure from previous XJs, with a more youthful, contemporary stance, following the design shift that came into effect previously with the company's XF and XK models.[46]
The 5-litre V8 engine in the XJ Supersport can accelerate the car from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 4.7 seconds, and has a UK CO2 emission rating of 289 g/km. To cater to the limousine market, all XJ models are offered with a longer wheelbase (LWB) as an option, which increases the rear legroom.[47]
The Jaguar XK is a luxury grand tourer introduced in 2006, where it replaced the XK8 launched in 1996. The XK introduced an aluminium monocoque bodyshell, and is available both as a two-door coupé and two-door cabriolet/convertible.[48]
R models[edit]
Jaguar began producing R models in 1995 with the introduction of the first XJR. Powered by a supercharged 6-cylinder engine, the car produced approximately 322 horsepower. With the revamped line of engines, the powerplant would be based on an eight-cylinder engine with supercharger from 1997 to present. The 1997–2003 XJR produced 370 horsepower (276 kW) and 385 pound-feet (522 N·m) of torque, taking the car to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5 seconds. The new aluminium bodyshell from 2004 to 2009 and increased power to 400 hp (298 kW) and enhanced computer systems decreased the time to 60 mph (97 km/h) to 4.8 seconds. Starting after year 2000, XJRs were equipped with Jaguar's CATS (Computer Active Technology Suspension), which helped firm up the ride in sporty driving without compromising comfort during day-to-day use.
The first XKR was introduced in 1997 and kept with the same power increases as the XJR except for after 2006 the power in the XKR was boosted to 420 hp (313 kW). The S-Type R had a short production run from 2003 to 2008, and came equipped with the same 400 horsepower (298 kW) supercharged V8 as the other R models. It was replaced by the XFR, featuring a 5.0 L supercharged V8 producing 510 hp (380 kW).

Future models[edit]
After years of speculation, Jaguar designer Ian Callum confirmed in early 2012 that there would not be a Jaguar SUV, but suggested that he may be designing a crossover for Jaguar.[51] In 2013 Jaguar announced the C-X17 concept.
A compact four-door saloon called XE was announced at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show with sales scheduled for 2015.[52]
Previous models[edit]
The Jaguar S-Type, first appeared in 1999 and stopped production in 2008. It has now been replaced by the Jaguar XF. Early S-Types suffered from reliability problems but those were mostly resolved by the 2004 model year.[53]
The Jaguar X-Type was a compact executive car launched in 2001, while the company was under Ford ownership. Sharing its platform with a 2000 Ford Mondeo, the X-Type ceased production in 2009.[54]
The Jaguar company started production with the pre-war 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5-litre models, which used engines designed by the Standard Motor Company. The 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine was still supplied by Standard but the two larger six-cylinder ones were made in house. These cars have become known unofficially as Mark IVs.
The first post-war model was the 1948 Mark V available with either 2.5- or 3.5-litre engines, and it had a more streamlined appearance than pre-war models, but more important was the change to independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes.
The big breakthrough was the launch in 1948 of the XK120 sports car, powered with the new XK twin overhead camshaft (DOHC) 3.5-litre hemi-head six-cylinder engine designed by William Heynes, Walter Hassan and Claude Baily. This engine had been designed at night during the war when they would be on fire watch in the factory. After several attempts a final design was achieved. That is until owner William Lyons said "make it quieter". The car had originally been intended as a short production model of about 200 vehicles as a test bed for the new engine until its intended home, the new Mark VII saloon, was ready. The XK120's exceptional reception was followed in 1954 by the introduction of the derivative XK140, and a much revised XK150.
Jaguar launched E-Type in 1961.
Along with sports cars, Jaguar maintained a strong place in the upscale saloon car market. Introducing the large Mark VII in 1951, a car especially conceived for the American market, Jaguar was overwhelmed with orders. The Mark VII and its successors gathered rave reviews from magazines such as Road & Track and The Motor. In 1956 a Mark VII won the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally.
In 1955, the "2.4-Litre" saloon (subsequently known as the 2.4 Mark 1) was the first monocoque (unitary) car from Jaguar.[citation needed] Its 2.4-litre short-stroke version of the XK engine provided 100 mph (160 km/h) performance. In 1957, the 3.4-litre version with disk brakes, wire wheels and other options was introduced, with a top speed of 120 mph (190 km/h). In 1959, an extensively revised version of the car with wider windows and 2.4, 3.4, and 3.8-litre engine options became the Mark 2. The 3.8 Mark 2 was popular with British police forces for its small size and 125 mph (201 km/h) performance.
The Mark VIII of 1956 and Mark IX of 1958 were essentially updates of the Mark VII, but the Mark X of 1961 was a completely new design of large saloon with all round independent suspension and unitary construction.
The independent rear suspension from the Mark X was incorporated in the 1963 S-Type, which closely resembled the Mark 2, and in 1967 the Mark 2 name was dropped when the small saloon became the 240/340 range. The 420 of 1966, also sold as the Daimler Sovereign, put a new front onto the S-type, although both cars continued in parallel until the S-Type was dropped in 1968. The Mark X became the 420G in 1966.
Of the more recent saloons, the most significant is the XJ (1968–1992). From 1968 on, the Series I XJ saw minor changes, first in 1973 (to Series II), 1979 (Series III), a complete redesign for 1986/1987 in XJ40, further modifications in 1995 (X300), in 1997 with V8-power (X308), and a major advance in 2003 with an industry-first aluminium monocoque-chassis (X350). The most luxurious XJ models carried either the Vanden Plas (US) or Daimler (rest of world) nameplates. In 1972, the 12-cylinder engine was introduced in the XJ, while simultaneously being offered in the E Type.
1992 saw the introduction of the mid-engined, twin-turbo XJ220, powered by a 542 bhp (404 kW; 550 PS) V6 engine. The XJ220 was confirmed the fastest production car in the world at the time after Martin Brundle recorded a speed of 217 mph (349 km/h) on the Nardo track in Italy.[55]
Over the years many Jaguar models have sported the famous chrome plated Leaping Jaguar, traditionally forming part of the radiator cap. Known as "The Leaper" this iconic mascot has been the subject of controversy in recent times when banned for safety reasons from cars supplied to Europe whilst it continued to be fitted on cars destined for the United States, Middle East and Far East. It has now been dropped from all the latest Jaguar models.

The company has had major success in sports car racing, particularly in the Le Mans 24 Hours. Victories came in 1951 and 1953 with the C-Type, then in 1955, 1956 and 1957 with the D-Type. The manager of the racing team during this period, Lofty England, later became CEO of Jaguar in the early 1970s. Although the prototype XJ13 was built in the mid-1960s it was never raced, and the famous race was then left for many years, until in the mid-1980s when Tom Walkinshaw's TWR team started designing and preparing Jaguar V12-engined Group C cars for World Sports Prototype Championship races. The team started winning regularly from 1987, and with increased factory backing the team won Le Mans in 1988 and 1990.
In the 1999, Ford decided that Jaguar would be the corporation's Formula One entry. Ford bought out the Stewart Grand Prix team and rebranded it as Jaguar Racing for the 2000 season. The Jaguar F1 program was not a success however, achieving only two podium finishes in five seasons of competition between 2000 and 2004. At the end of 2004, with costs mounting and Ford's profits dwindling, the F1 team was seen as an unneeded expense and was sold to Red Bull energy drinks owner Dietrich Mateschitz, and it became Red Bull Racing. Since 2004 Jaguar has not had an official presence in motorsport.
Notable Jaguar sports racers:
- Jaguar C-Type (1951–1953)
- Jaguar D-Type (1954–1957)
- Jaguar Lightweight E-Type

Electric vehicles[edit]
Lotus Cars joined Jaguar, MIRA Ltd and Caparo on a luxury hybrid executive sedan project called "Limo-Green"—funded by the UK Government Technology Strategy Board. The vehicle will be a series plug-in hybrid.[58] [59]
Jaguar and the arts[edit]
For some time now Jaguar has been active in the international arts scene. In particular, the company has collaborated with the artist Stefan Szczesny, implementing major art projects. In 2011, Jaguar presented the exhibition series "Shadows", which involved the installation of Szczesny's shadow sculptures in Sankt-Moritz, on Sylt and in Saint-Tropez. In 2012, a large number of sculptures, ceramics and paintings were shown in Frankfurt (and mainly in Frankfurt's Palmengarten).
As part of the collaboration with Szczesny, Jaguar has released the "Jaguar Art Collection".

I'm Mike, and I'm thrilled to be part of the TakeLessons team. I first picked up the guitar at the age of 5, and have never looked back! I began formal Jazz training in high school and continued studying guitar and composition at Oberlin College and Wesleyan University. After graduating, I played Organ Trio and small combo jazz in LA, studied Brazilian and African percussion, and went to Japan to study Shamisen and Taiko drumming. I've been playing in various groups since arriving in NYC in 2005, and have recently been working on engineering and composing for film.
My strength lies in my versatility - I love music of all kinds. Whether it's Soul, Samba, or Salsa, Rock, Pop or Hip Hop, I am very good at communicating the mechanics of music so that my students not only learn to play, but learn to listen and write. I have a studio space in Manhattan as well as a small mixing studio in my Brooklyn apartment, and I'm happy to show students the ins and outs of recording along with theory and guitar technique.

Introduction |
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. A stroke is damage to an area of the brain that occurs from disrupted blood flow. This disturbance cuts off the supply of oxygen to the cells in that part of the brain, and these cells begin to die.
There are two main types of stroke:
Damage to the brain can cause loss of speech, vision, or movement in an arm or a leg, depending on the part of the brain that is affected.
Anybody can have a stroke, but certain factors place you at higher risk. Some factors that increase your risk of stroke cannot be changed. The good news, however, is that many risk factors are linked to lifestyle and are, therefore, under your control.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — The Golden Apple Dinner Theatre's Lakewood Ranch space is for sale.
Theatre owner Bob Turoff made the announcement at the San Marco Plaza Condominium Association meeting June 1, said John Harshman, broker and agent for the Golden Apple.
The 8,500-square-foot space, which is also permitted for a 6,000-square-foot mezzanine, is listed at $1.2 million.
"Everybody, including the Golden Apple, is saddened that The Golden Apple is not going to go in there," Harshman said. "They had plans and were looking forward to the Lakewood Ranch operation. Everybody's supportive of having a different use in there that would also invigorate San Marco (Plaza)."
Harshman said the decision to sell is a byproduct of the economy. Plans for the theater had been in the works for more than four years.
Property records show that Bob Turoff and his wife, Roberta, purchased the site in July 2007. Since then, they have faced difficulty with permitting and financing.
Although the space has been planned as a theater, the parcel is zoned for planned development mixed use, which means a variety of uses, including a theater or a retail store, among other options, could be suitable for the site if approved Lakewood Ranch and Manatee County.
"The space is a completed shell, and that means that the walls are up, the roof is up and the sprinkler system is in," Harshman said. "The floor is still dirt, but all the plumbing is stubbed out in the site."
The Golden Apple Dinner Theatre opened at its downtown Sarasota location in December 1971 and is the longest-running equity dinner theatre in the country.
However, in the last few years in particular, the theater has faced problems with parking and later fell into financial trouble. The 13,600-square-foot building has been on the market and is currently listed at $2.999 million.
"We've had a good bit of activity on it," Harshman said. "We've had it under contract several different times and development plans for it have not gone through. Contracts have been terminated and we are actively on the market now."
Harshman could not say whether a sale of Lakewood Ranch property would keep the Turoffs from having to sell the downtown location or vice versa.
"We're going to cross that bridge when we get to it and see what happens," Harshman said. "The Golden Apple is still in operation and active downtown, but both sides are on the market for sale."
Bob Turoff did not return repeated phone calls for comment.

Good at least something is happening.
Late 2nd/Early 3rd at the worst. Probably would have been a highly reached player before the whole "girlfriend hoax" story. His combine interviews will be huge for him.

There are more than two modes of assessment: great / awful. He's not awful ... he's just not the MLB version of Clay Matthews (which everyone thought he'd be coming out of USC). Arguably he's playing out of position (he makes a much better SAM and why he had so much success his first two years).
And no one was saying Maualuga was awful back in 2009 and 2010.
I'd certainly take him over Kiwi playing SAM.
Well at least Te'o ain't the only gullible fool. and these clowns are professionals.

Diner Reviews
My husband and I were looking for
a nice place for a quiet, enjoyable dinner to celebrate our 35th anniversary. And the Cast Iron really filled the bill. The place was not crowded when we arrived so it was fairly quiet, but it had filled up by the time we left and the noise level was still quite comfortable. Our waiter was helpful but not intrusive. The menu is not long, but includes something for everyone. I had salmon and my husband had steak and we were both pleased with our meals. We shared a dessert for our celebration, and the restaurant didn't charge us to help us with our celebration, which was a real treat. We both highly recommend this place for a great dining experience."

I made a reservation dinner for my
wife and I at the Cast Iron in the Omni Hotel. We were very impressed with the service and ambiance. The food was good, but not great. A little pricey, but a great place for a romantic date."
Dined on 2/14/2014
My wife and I eat out quite a bit,
however, our eating habits are different. I'm a "meat and potatoes" man, and she's a very heath conscious eater (salad, veggies, fish, etc.). So it is seldom that we enjoy dining experiences (where the food itself is concerned) to the same degree. One always has to compromise for the other. But not this time. Not only was the ambience, food selections and service top notch, but for the first time in a very long time, we BOTH immensely enjoyed the food! Everything on the buffet was fresh, well presented and absolutely delicious! It is rare that you find the food to be so fresh in the last hour of a brunch/buffet, so we were thoroughly impressed and will certainly be back. Keep up the good work!"
Dined on 2/2/2014
The menu is comprised of such a
wonderful take on Texas favorites that it was hard for me to choose, but I couldn't have gone wrong with any of the selections. We had a group of six on a Saturday evening and they put us in a side room where the noise level was zero. The ambiance was comfortable and classy. The service was excellent as well. For what we got, the price was a deal."
Dined on 2/1/2014
We were at th hotel for my 60th
birthday. We started at the Cast Iron for brunch. It was very nice. The waiter Jose was wonderful. Even had him the next morning for breakfast. The Cast Iron was the outstanding part of our stay at the hotel I noted on the reservation form I had food allergies and when I arrived the manager walked with me to show me what food I could and should not eat. I felt that was outstanding attention to customer service,.,"
Dined on 1/19/2014
Cast Iron lived up to the reviews
for a great brunch. Great food, service and atmosphere. Access is fantastic with the valet. Hotel is beautiful. Looking forward to trying the other restaurants here."
Dined on 1/19/2014
The Cast Iron in the Omni is an
ideal setting for a Sunday brunch. The setting is relaxed, the offerings are varied and delicious, and the service is attentive, yet not obtrusive. The price is about average for this kind of meal. Valet parking is available at a steeply discounted price, which makes arrival and departure easy and convenient. I certainly plan to return in the future!"
Dined on 12/29/2013
The holiday meal at the cast iron
was really good. My husband had the buffalo which was beautifully prepared and presented. I had the trout, an unfortunate choice ss it was prepared with vegetables in s bag, yet the skin was still on the fish and was all over the veghied. However the server and chef immediately made it correct for giving me a choice of another dish. I chose the pheasant which was amazing. We will return!"
Dined on 12/25/2013
This had to be our server's first
night. He took our drink order and then came back to ask me what I wanted to drink! Duh? Then, he came back to see if we wanted to order an appetizer. My husband told him he had already ordered one. When we were eating our entree, he slipped the dessert menu under our spoons. Before we were even finished our entrees, he came back and asked if we wanted to order dessert. Talk about being rushed!! To take the cake, we were the only table occupied in the whole restaurant!!! Food and atmosphere were great, and they did have a kid's menu. Waiter had no personality!!"
Dined on 12/21/2013
My husband and I went here for a
date day for Sunday brunch. It was AMAZING! There was so many different kinds of food to try and everything was delicious. The service was wonderful and prompt, my water glass and mimosa glass were never empty. We both left very well fed and in need of some exercise. :-)"
Dined on 12/15/2013
This is was our first visit to
Cast Iron - having attempted reservations too late the past two years. We attended based on a review (consistently good) in the Fort Worth Star Telegram. We were not disappointed. Leave room for the food. The meal was excellent with a few current trendy items and some traditional. Excellent seafood alternatives also. We'll definitely come again next year."
Dined on 11/28/2013
Consistent, diverse quality
breakfast and lunch menu options. Great value for money. A Fort Worth treasure."
Dined on 12/1/2013
Family ate T-giving at the Cast
Iron @ the Omni. We were in the final seating - 2:30 PM. Overall the quality of the food was outstanding and the ambience excellent. However, there were several very disappointing items: 1. When other diners finished their meal and left, the staff started folding their tables up and moving them out - while we continued to sit and eat right next to them! Talk about feeling rushed! 2. They began to run out of certain food items and when we asked about them we were told, "Sorry we are out - we had plenty earlier." 3. An 18% gratuity was added to our bill - for a party of 4? While the service was fine - plates taken away almost immediately upon standing - this was not a "full service" dining experience"
Dined on 11/28/2013
The food was very good and diverse
but perhaps a bit overpriced."
Dined on 11/28/2013
We decided on Thanksgiving dinner
out this year which included the important considerations of a small child. The service at Cast Iron was friendly, courteous and attentive without being interruptive and hovering. The dining tables had ample space between them so that one didn't feel imposed upon by neighboring diners and their conversation. The food selections were plentiful and tasty, with the desert table especially exciting, but turkey dinner under warming lights just can't measure up to one prepared in my own kitchen."
Dined on 11/28/2013
We had a lovely brunch before
heading to Bass Hall for an early afternoon performance. I am usually skeptical about hotel restaurants, so Cast Iron was a nice surprise. Very nice, yet comfortable and casual atmosphere, great brunch selection, very good coffee (big with us), and our server gave us just the right amount of attention. Would definitely recommend and return."
Dined on 11/24/2013
I am a huge brunch fan and was
excited to give this place a try after reading some of the reviews and hearing positives about the Omni and Cast Iron by word of mouth. However, I was HIGHLY disappointed. The food was amazingly over priced for the amount and quality. It was nothing more than a glorified hotel breakfast buffet (which I have even had better than this!). The free mimosas were also not worth the price. I have had better options in other restuarants. I will definitely not rush to go back or would not recomend taking anyone there as an out of town brunch experience. Really really disappointed. Save your money and try out local diner or even a Waffle House or IHOP (both of which I am not a huge fan of either)."
Dined on 11/24/2013
First time there, it was quiet so
we could talk without having to yell over the noise. Since my sister was in from out of town this was great so we could leisurely talk. The staff did not rush us, so the evening was a total success at catching up in our small family reunion."
Dined on 10/25/2013
Great variety of foods to appease
any palate. Complementary mimosa top of the end of a wonderful experience."
Dined on 10/20/2013
Great restaurant for Sunday brunch
before a Bass Hall performance. Valet parking is validated by the restaurant. Great food selections and mimosas"
Dined on 10/13/2013
Can't beat the price for such a
selection. Unlimited Mimosas, carving station, 2 entrees that change, omelet station, breakfast bar, dessert bar, shrimp, apps, and salad all for $28.95. Food was great as well as the service. Been here often and will continue to go back."
Dined on 7/28/2013
We loved the food described as
"southern comfort food". We were not disappointed and especially enjoyed the salmon and the chicken pot pie! I love champagne and they have White Star by the glass, no less! It is perfect for a large group of friends. We were in a quiet spot where we could visit despite our group size. The service was superb!"
Dined on 7/21/2013
The buffet was pretty tasty; I
thought it was a little bit overpriced."
Dined on 6/16/2013
I planned a business lunch and it
came off perfectly. Thanks to the Cast Iron staff."
Dined on 6/14/2013
The service at this restaurant was
decent, but the food was not very good. Of the 4 of us, 2 thought it was ok, and 2 were disappointed,"
Dined on 5/31/2013
It was ok for a buffet, the staff
made sure everything was replenished -nothing ever looked old. The buffet food was so so, the asparagus was the highlight- blackened chicken-that wasnt blackened,was in a cream sauce, was ok. The buffet eggs, tasted powdered,bacon was undercooked. The pork loin was lukewarm,the accompanying whiskey sauce was dreadful.The desserts were not very good at all, It would have been nice if they had put nametags out - and there were NO Chocolate desserts!Ordered vegetable omlettes from the menu, they were freakishly,inflated (pancake batter?) few veggies. Breakfast the next day at the DFW Hyatt was superb!. I wont be back, or recommend Cast Iron for brunch. It is forgotten as soon as I close this page."
Dined on 5/19/2013
Brunch buffet was nice. Salad bar
great. Could offer more breakfast selections, and have sturdier tongs. Service was excellent! Bottomless mimosa for the price was very good. Would recommend."
Dined on 5/19/2013
Mother's Day Brunch was
exceptional! Great variety of choices for anyone's tastes, even kids. Service was spot on and always there when needed, and the buffets were set in separete areas so there was never any crowding, (except for the waffles and omelets, but hey it was a great time to meet and chat with others). I recommend the prime rib and seviche, and of course, the free mimosa's were superb as well!"
Dined on 5/12/2013
We were actually seated early
which was great. Great selection and quality was really good. Will go back often. Service was exceptional for a brunch."
Dined on 5/12/2013
We have been using the Omni Fort
Worth for Holiday brunches for the past few years, and have been pleased with all aspects--until this year. We had a late seating (but not the final seating) as we always do. The food was excellent--BUT--when it came to dessert, four of the advertised "headliner" desserts were not available. They had run out of Chocolate cake, Bread pudding, Cheesecake ice cream and the Chef's special cake. The two mothers in our party of six were very disappointed, and cast a net of negativity over what should have been a wonderful Mother's day experience. When you attend an event at a premium facility, pay a premium price, is it too much to ask that you produce enough of everything to satisfy even the last table seated??"
Dined on 5/12/2013
We decided to spend the extra
money and have Mother's Day Brunch here. It was well worth it. The service was incredible from providing us drinks while we waited for our table to constantly making sure we had enough coffee and a clean table. The staff serving the food were delightful and could have a conversation. The food was incredible and there were so many options ranging from elaborate to simple stuff for younger eaters. Overall one of the best brunches we have had in a long long time."
Dined on 5/12/2013
This was my third Mother's Day
Brunch and unfortunate I will choose another place next year due to this last experience. The food was good but not as good as previous visits, you ran out of your famous bread pudding, my waiter was gone away from my table so long my coffee was cold because I was waiting for him to return with cream and sugar, my water glass was empty long enough to get DRY and to and injury to insult...my party of 7 was charged $62 gratuity for SERVICE! I've enjoyed my other previous visits with you all but $371 is a bit much to walk away disappointed. I hope this review will serve in helping you return to the quality service and food I had grown accustomed to. I will give it a test run after church one Sunday."
Dined on 5/12/2013
This is our third year to attend
the Mother's Day brunch. The food choices were awesome! I highly recommend The Cast Iron Skillet for any brunch occasion. Can't wait for next year!!"
Dined on 5/12/2013
It started out bad. We had a
reservation and we got seated 30 minutes late. Very good variety of food. Food was good and bad ranging from taste to being cold Our waiter was great. Don't like the fact they automatically added 18 % gratuity for a party of 4. I talked to the manager about the late seating and he just said "sorry we are busy" could cared less. We won't return due to the price. Many better places to spend $50 a plate."
Dined on 5/12/2013
Wide variety of foods for a great
sunday brunch. Complimentary mimosas are a great touch. Servers are attentive"
Dined on 5/12/2013
The food, quality, and service are
all outstanding. You cant go wrong for brunch at Cast Iron. Be prepared though that they may add a significant charge to your debit or credit card without informing you. When I called the restaurant later in the day to find out why so much more was added to my card then I had signed for at the restaurant all I received was poor attitude and run around answers. There best explanation was that it is charged that much and is pending until the next business day when the actually charge will show on my bank statement. If this is the case then that needs to be explained, although I have never had this happen before at any other restaurant but it has now happened twice as Cast Iron."
Dined on 5/12/2013
Well prepared and presented, but
from very limited menu. The service was very attentive without being obtrusive. If you need be at the Omni or the Fort Worth Convention Center and need a place to eat then Cast Iron is a good choice. If you are just in Fort Worth and looking for a place dine there a number of other options."
Dined on 5/4/2013
This was our first visit to Cast
Iron, but we will definitely be going back. We live in Arlington, TX and will joyfully make the trip back to Fort Worth to eat here. The food was absolutely wonderful. I had the salmon and my husband had the BLT. Then we indulged in their desserts, me having the Sweet Potato Creme Brulee and him having the Dr Pepper Chocolate Cake!! Our waiter was Andre and I would recommend that you ask for him, as we have never gotten as good of service as we did from him. For the price and the food AND the service, we will be going back on a regular basis!!"
Dined on 5/4/2013
Our experience was enjoyable.
Restaurant was not full, so we were able to visit with our guests comfortable. We had salmon and were pleased with that selection. Desserts were yummy. We actually ate at this restaurant three times during our three day stay at the Omni."
Dined on 4/2/2013

X is the twenty-fourth letter in the modern Latin alphabet. Its name in English is spelled ex or occasionally ecks (pronounced /ɛks/), plural exes (pronounced /ɛksəz/).
The consonant cluster /ks/ was, in Ancient Greek, written as either Chi Χ (Western Greek) or Xi Ξ (Eastern Greek). In the end, Chi was standardized as /kʰ/ (/x/ in Modern Greek), while Xi was standardized for /ks/. But the Etruscans had taken over Χ from older Western Greek; therefore, it stood for /ks/ in Etruscan and Latin.
