About Mr. Matheny

Mr Matheny started in the automobile business after WWII working at Brooks Motors (in San Marco), and later with San Marco Motors. In the late 50's, Lawrence joined Massey Motors at State St & Main St, working his way thru various departments. In 1963, Mr. W.W. Massey Sr, offered Lawrence a partnership in a new Dodge dealership, Southside Dodge, located at 4744 Phillips Highway.

Time and stress led Mr. Matheny to sell his interest in this dealership in 1971, and in 1972 he purchased the Sport Auto dealership from local race car legend Peter H. Gregg. At this time, it sold Fiat & MG automobiles from its showroom located downtown Jacksonville at 5th & Main Street.

In 1973, Mr. M (as he was known) moved Sport Auto to Atlantic Boulevard and renamed the company Matheny Imports, Inc. Over the years, he sold and serviced, along with Fiat & MG - Jaguar, Lotus, Triumph, Rover cars, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia, DeLorean & Saab.

Today's Jaguar represents the evolution of a legend - an advanced automobile that blends new technology and state-of-the-art engineering with character, passion and distinctive style.

The XK has always presented Jaguar enthusiasts with a dilemma: coupe or convertible? Each offers interior luxury, a sleek design and unforgettable performance. Available with a normally aspirated or supercharged AJ-V8 engine, you won't find it easy to choose your favorite XK - but you will be amply rewarded for making up your mind.

Each XJ sedan is a modern Jaguar classic, with its own distinct personality and attributes. Some drivers fall in love at first sight with the XJ8. Others prefer the dynamics of the new XJ Sport. There are those who can't resist the XJR, with its supercharged 370-horsepower engine, and those who feel most at home with the sumptuous Vanden Plas. For the true lover of luxury with performance, there's the new Super V8.

Inspired by the classic, stylish model of the 1960s, the new Jaguar S-TYPE is a luxury sport sedan that achieves the spirited performance of a sports car. It offers agile handling, advanced features and exceptional comfort, as well as outstanding value. The S-TYPE is powered by the 3.0L AJ-V6 engine, or optionally by the advanced 4.0L AJ-V8 engine proven in the XJ sedans and the XK8 sports car.

Jaguar introduces its all-new X-Type for 2002, adding a fourth model line to the range. The distinctive design immediately identifies the X-Type as a Jaguar. The sleek profile, quad headlights, low-profile chrome grille and Jaguar leaper hood ornament draw a clear link to other current Jaguar models.

Available with either a 194 horsepower 2.5 liter or 231 horsepower 3.0 liter V6 engine, both models come with Jaguar Traction 4 all-wheel drive system fitted as standard.
