1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas
Black on Magnolia Connolly Leather
3.6 liter Jaguar engine
premium original condition

This low mileage 89 is in excellent, clean condition...I have not seen a better black 1989 VDP. It has been a 2nd car, not driven in rain, garaged and kept freshly waxed, only being driven for pleasure. The car runs very smooth, reliable and shifts like it should. The interior is amazing - like new and supple, built when Jaguar was putting the highest quality leather from Connolly Leather in it's cars. All electronics, including the climate control and digital dash are working perfectly. There is a custom fitted car cover, and the car has been upgraded to later 17" XK Jaguar wheels to give it a little more attitude. The 88/89 Vanden Plas' came with a more refined interior design, and the best burl wood veneers with boxwood inlays on every panel. A couple of years ago I had a trusted paintless dent repair man remove the few dings the car had acquired over the years. There is no body damage or rust anywhere, such as around the rear window or behind/on the wheel arches.

Some valuable repair items that have been corrected in the last 3 years include:

Rear differential output shaft bearings rebuilt and replaced
Both rear door lock motors replaced
A/C on/off micro-switch repaired
A/C freon charged
Right blower motor repaired
New power steering reservoir to pump hose

Faults:

The car just recently developed a slight noise in the right front wheel area when going over shallow bumps - I have not had it diagnosed but it sounds like a bushing needs to be replaced
Cassette tape deck not functional(it does however have a working 10 CD/MP3 changer in trunk that plays through the stock stereo)
Minor oil leak from oil pan(like an occasional drop here and there when parked)

If you are looking for a premium, well cared for classic XJ6, in one of the best color combinations, this is definitely the car! NO RESERVE PRICE - BID WITH CONFIDENCE

Jaguar Buys World's Largest Collection Of British Classic Cars

Fri, Jul 25 2014

This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Jaguar's Special Operations division announced today it has bought the world's largest collection of classic British cars. The 543 cars had belonged to wealthy dental entrepreneur Dr. James Hull, who sold the entire collection to the British automaker for $170 million dollars. Jaguar scored 130 of its own vehicles in the lot, including a XK, SS, C, D and E-types, XJ as well as a few rare Land Rovers, according to Road & Track. The division that bought the cars is not only responsible for the heritage museum, but also for special projects. Special Operations finished the 18-car run of the lightweight E-types, albeit 50 years late. Jaguar plans to use the cars as promotional pieces to highlight the history of the brand, according to Cars UK. Related Gallery Retro Features Car Shoppers Still Want

2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T

Fri, 10 May 2013

Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:

David Brown Automotive launches old-is-new-again Speedback [w/video]

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Back in January, we reported on a new British coachbuilder called David Brown Automotive. In February, the startup released the first details and images of its inaugural project, and now it has revealed the finished product.
It's called Speedback, and it's based on the Jaguar XKR. But while it's built on a modern chassis (relatively, anyway - the XK arrived in 2006 and is soon to be discontinued), it's been rebodied to look like a classic British GT. That means that, while it may look like a classic Aston Martin, it's got a thoroughly modern 5.0-liter supercharged V8 under the hood with over 500 horsepower on tap.
Otherwise, little in the way of details have been disclosed - including what you can bet will be an astronomic price that tends to come with these sorts of coachbuilt customs. But the important parts are what you can see, and that means the finest British craftsmanship inside and out. Whether you like the particular style or not, of course, is entirely a matter of taste.
