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.

Watch the Jaguar F-Pace set a Guinness World Record for looping
Mon, Sep 14 2015On a chilly gray night in Germany, Jaguar officially leapt into the crossover segment. But it also reminded everyone its brand of grocery-getter will be anything but conventional. The 2017 F-Pace, which will launch next spring in the United States, debuted Monday evening at a glitzy event before the Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than simply tear the cover off the car (you can watch that below), Jaguar sent a specially-prepped F-Pace blasting up a 63-foot-tall loop, setting a Guinness World Record in the process. Driven by British stunt driver Terry Grant, Jaguar said the F-Pace stood up against 6.5 Gs of gravity during the display. The stunt was meant to illustrate the F-Pace's poise, agility, and athletic nature. In fact, Jaguar is calling the vehicle the "ultimate practical sports car," instead of dwelling on the fact it's an SUV. Based on Jaguar's lightweight aluminum architecture, the F-Pace will arrive in America next year with two V6 engines rated at 340 horsepower or 380 hp. A new 2.0-liter diesel engine will join the lineup next fall, and serve as the entry-level model. It starts at $41,985. Related Video:
Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
