I bought this XJ6 for my retirement a few years ago from a collector. I used it very sparingly and always garaged it. It has been in storage for more than a year now. I have not yet started it nor taken it for a drive this spring, yet. Usually it is a matter of cleaning the twin pumps, checking all fluids and giving the battery a full charge. It drives very nicely. It has between 45 and 50,000 miles on it. The paint is good. and th3e body is straight. I left the leaper off the hood, easily replaced. I had it stolen at a friends wedding one summer night and decided to leave it off. Tires and exhaust are good. All electrics and gauges work fine. Interior needs a good leather cleaning, the headliner is sagging down and should be replaced, as should the drivers seat pan diaphram, as the pan does sag. Chrome is good, no rust per say. Great oil pressure and a smooth engine.

This was the first of the XJ series and the prettiest of them all!

Sir William Lyons, CEO of Jaguar, personally chose this as his choice for the best of all the Jag saloons.

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.

Jaguar to expand Jaguar XKR-S GT production run?

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

According to a report in Autocar, demand for the Jaguar XKR-S GT is such that the English company could nearly double production from 30 to 50 cars. Such inflation can often incense those have already put deposits down, worried that they've both been lied to about the potentially diminished values of their cars, but Jaguar has made the announcement barely a day after the XKR-S GT was revealed and 50 still isn't that many vehicles.
Nothing in the Autocar report indicates the additional examples will not come to America, making the 500-horsepower superfast coupe a treat we can still call all our own. Jaguar didn't add horsepower but instead honed other aspects of the car to produce a GT that can lap the 'Ring nearly as quickly as a Ferrari 458 Italia, and the world should be the beneficiary, the company's brand director saying, "The real beauty of this project has been that it has extended our understanding of the elements involved in making a car go so fast, and that will feed back into all our road car programs." Sounds good to us.
