Jaguar XJ6 1996 Totally original condition with low miles Really nice Jaguar XJ6
finished in slate grey with chamois leather interior and a low 87,500 miles for its year.
The whole car is in overall nice, clean and excellent presenting condition. She is a 2 owner example with a clean AutoCheck report and a high score of 58 out of a possible 62: The interior of this example is in impeccable condition with the burl walnut just wonderful. Only the door woods show some hairline marks but the dash, console and other trims are in impeccable condition. The Connolly hide leather seats are factory condition, soft and supple with no stains, wear marks or tears. They literally look like new (probably the most stunning feature of the car). There are no cracks in the dash or rear parcel shelf. The carpets and headliner are immaculately clean. The headliner is slightly drooping in the back (which is a common thing for Jaguars) and the centre console cup-holder is broken. Otherwise, the rest is all great. The interior truly is stunning, is like new and even smells "brand new". The paint is in good condition with only minor little stone chips and small marks. It is very shiny and consistent and presents perfectly for driver use. On a scale out of 10, I would rate the paint as an easy 8 or 9. Mechanically the car is very sound with near new tyres mounted on later model XJ wheels (from a 2000 Vanden Plas). This is the new generation straight, 4 liter straight 6 cylinder which was a vast improvement over the old engine in pre 1995 Jaguars. The car drives smooth, strong and quietly. Recent maintenance included a brake service with 4 new rotors/discs and pads all round, a general service and safety inspection. There are no warning lights on the dash and all is good to go. The climate control is working as it should but the A/C belt is currently removed because the idler pulley for the belt needs replacing ($75). The heater is nice and toasty. This is an immaculate Jaguar XJ-6 with good low miles and makes for an excellent everyday or weekend driver. It far exceeds average condition examples and comfortably rates as a virtual 8 or 9 out of 10 driver condition which earns it regular compliments. ~~ This XJ-6 Jaguar is in
stunning condition and makes for a wonderful everyday driver at a relatively
affordable price. ~~ Please see additional photos at the link below. They are high resolution so you can zoom in and have a good look at each and every part of the car. Click HERE to see additional photos!
**PLEASE
read auction terms and conditions below BEFORE bidding.** ~~oo00oo~~
As
a collector and experienced restorer of a range of classic cars, I make every
effort to bring my cars to a high standard. By comparison, my cars are
generally superior to others available but they are by no means perfect. You
must expect some issues. Unless specifically stated, the car is not of show
standard but of nice "driver" condition. Please understand, show cars
cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve and sell for prices
commensurate, so the sale price of this car reflects its relative condition.
You are buying "condition" accordingly. Buyers should not expect to
receive concours quality or "perfect" cars at these prices. Please
also understand it is not always possible to attend to every item, or perhaps I
may have inadvertently overlooked items. Further, and very importantly, these
cars are not new. So this means a 20 year old car is predominantly comprised of
20 year old parts. And old parts will fail. All buyers must understand and
expect that things can or will wear out, break and/or stop functioning without
notice. This is even more likely with hand-built English cars of early
technology when compared to the typical American car of the same vintage.
Suspension and brakes on these cars are complex. We thoroughly check them and
replace things that are identified faulty. But please understand, by example;
if we change a brake line because it appears aged or faulty, we do NOT at the
same time replace all other hoses because they are of similar age. This is
considered "preventative maintenance". We do not do this unless
specifically requested and is not included in the purchase price. Feel free to
ask for this additional service. Further, a feature or function that is working
perfectly one moment, may decide to play-up the next. After all, it is some 17
years old. This is the nature of any used car and especially British cars. For
this reason it is necessary for the following condition: The
vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed,
written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are made with
reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment and
accuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are
not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be
responsible for errors in description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects
herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. If any aspect of the
description contradicts what can be seen in the photos, then the photos shall
prevail as the reference point. No allowance or set aside will be made on
account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or damage. It is
the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition
and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller shall and will
make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s
request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for
any repairs regardless of any written or oral statements about the vehicle.
Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, in most PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, CONTACT ME
BEFORE YOU CONTEMPLATE DOING SO AS, RESPECTFULLY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS. I
am sorry if these terms seem harsh but there seem to be some very unrealistic
buyers out there - fortunately, only few of these people exist but those that
do can make life difficult, so it appears EVERYTHING needs to spelled out. Very
simply put, this is an old car being offered for sale. It is not new and is
subject to the perils of age. Further, Jaguars are not without nuances,
idiosyncrasies and they are renown for a host of design issues which can make
them not inexpensive to maintain. So, please respect the terms and conditions
when you bid. ~~oo00oo~~ |

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.
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.
2013 Jaguar XJ AWD
Tue, 18 Dec 2012Even though this year's winter has gotten off to an abnormally slow start for most of North America, Jaguar has shown the world it means business by launching its all-new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system in Montreal, Canada. Designed primarily for consumers in the Northern US and Canada, Jaguar put us on the same snowy, slushy and icy roads that many of its buyers will have to deal with. Rather than making declawed versions of the XJ and XF, Jag says this system enhances the performance abilities of its sedans when desired while still making them as fun to drive as their rear-wheel-drive counterparts. We had a chance to test out both the XF AWD and XJ AWD, but we spent most of our time behind the wheel of the flagship XJ, driving it on the open roads as well as a few closed courses.
Considering the lengthy and convoluted history of the Jaguar brand - including a stint as a member of Ford's defunct Premier Automotive Group alongside Volvo and Aston Martin - it is rather surprising that the automaker is just now getting around to introducing an all-wheel-drive system intended for widespread use, but the new Instinctive AWD will finally allow the XF, XJ and other future products to better compete against the likes of Mercedes-Benz 4Matic, BMW xDrive and Audi Quattro. In the XJ, Jaguar expects the AWD models to account for around 40 percent of the product mix nationwide and a little bit more (50 percent) for the XF, but in the northern states, it expects around 80 percent of XF sales to be AWD variants.
Instinctive AWD is rear-biased and operates as full rear-wheel drive in good weather, but when the road conditions turn slick, the system can split engine power 50:50 between front and rear axles using a center transfer case.
