1985 Jaquar xj6 referred to as a "lumper" meaning the engine has been changed from the Jaquar engine to a Camaro 305 engine. This makes the car much easier for mechanics to work on as well as find parts that are less expensive. There are scratches in the paint and the leather seats have some cracking. I drove this car summers only the first 4 years of owning it as well as put in some car shows. When not being driven car was exclusively garage kept. Due to illness in family and other obligations the car has not been driven in the last 3-4 years or so, therefore, it could probably use tires and a brake job. We installed an aftermarket JVC radio with CD player. The engine itself has only approximately 11000 miles on it. The story with this car is it was bought brand new in 1985/86 and driven for a very short time when it was in an accident. Due to the cost of export repairs the insurance company listed it as totaled. However, the car being of some solid steel was taken a few years later and restored. I have a clear rebuilt title from when we purchased it. We purchased on ebay in 2005 for $5001. It was always in Michigan until we purchased in 2005 and brought to Illinois. The last upgrade we did is to install an air compressor for the air conditioning. I am unsure if this actually works but the basics are there to fix if wanted. Also, we purchased the originally intended headlights and have them installed. When Jaquar sent these cars to the states they were intended to have one headlight larger than the other. Our government made them change them to the same size headlights. While they appeared to be different in size due to the frames they in fact were not. A few years ago we purchased a kit to convert them to the intended sizes and that is how they are now. The body is SOLID, this is a head turning car. The gloss on this car is stunning. There is one long scratch along one door, should be easy to buff/fix I have a low reserve, much lower than what I have paid and money put into it. VIN #sajjcalp4cc399s42 was not recognized by the ebay system but is correct VIN and shows up on Illinois VIN website as well as on title. Car was legally imported when first purchased in 1985.

2018 Jaguar I-Pace hits the Nurburgring in all its electric glory
Mon, Jun 26 2017Jaguar is continuing development work on the I-Pace, its first all-electric model set to arrive in 2018. Today we're getting fresh spy shots of the svelte crossover being unloaded for testing at the Nurburgring, and the I-Pace looks almost identical to the concept model and a prototype we spied earlier this year. It's expected to debut next fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Despite wearing Slimer-green camouflage, the I-Pace's curves and creases are evident. It's fronted by a prominent grille that's mainly for looks, angled headlights, and short overhangs. Obviously, Jag wants you to know it's working on an electric car, as the test mule wears the hashtag #jaguarelectrifies on the sides and #ipace on the hood. Subtle. Jaguar hasn't confirmed US specs, but based on the concept car the I-Pace generates 400 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels from a 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. The crossover can hit 60 miles per hour in 4 seconds and has an expected range of 220 miles. Jaguar is investing in electric technology, though it's also looking to diesels and smaller-displacement four-cylinder engines as part of its future powertrain strategy. On Monday, the company confirmed plans for a 296-hp turbo four-cylinder that will be offered in the 2018 XE, XF, and F-Pace, as the well-received Ingenium engine family expands. In Jaguar parlance, the "Paces" are crossovers: The F-Pace is a midsize utility vehicle. The E-Pace is a compact crossover, and the I-Pace is an electric crossover. Try to keep up.

Jaguar recalls 7k F-Types for two seperate issues with electrical system
Tue, Dec 9 2014Jaguar is the latest automaker to join in on the recall action from this morning, as the British automaker has announced steps it's taking to remedy two separate problems. The larger of the two recalls deals with an issue related to the seatbelt sensors specifically on the F-Type (we're inquiring with Jaguar if the recall pertains to the coupe, convertible or both models). According to the notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired," which could result in the front passenger air bag remaining activated even when a shorter individual (child or adult) occupies that seat. As a result, the British automaker is notifying the owners of such F-Types manufactured between August 31, 2012, and October 22, 2014, to bring their cars in to their local dealership to correct the configuration of the harness connector wire. The second Jaguar recall addresses a wider range of models but a much smaller number of actual vehicles. It affects the F-Type as well as the 2015 XF and XJ sedans, but only 272 of them in the United States. In those affected vehicles, the Front End Accessory Drive belt, Power Assisted Steering pump pulley and the battery positive cable at the alternator may detach. Since those issues could increase the risk of fire or the loss of power steering, Jaguar is calling those few affected units in to dealers to have the requisite components checked, and if necessary, repaired. Details of both recalls can be found in the notices below. Report Receipt Date: NOV 07, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V714000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 7,079 Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC SUMMARY: Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 31, 2012, to October 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. The OCSCM senses whether there is an occupant in the front passenger seating position, and the STS senses whether tension on the seatbelt indicates a child restraint is being used in the front passenger seating position.
