Up for sale my XJ6 which I have owned for 3 years. Reason for this sale (and most of my collection) is a 2.5 year old daughter and simply not having the time. Car was driven twice last year and only once this year so really needs to be used more.
Car is 1972 XJ6. Purchased from a collector whose collection was 20+ Jabuars. When I bought the car I was aware of the need for a few touch up areas and probably respray the drivers door. As it wasn't that offensive I simply enjoyed the driving experience. Car would still need paint/rust touch up for a show quality car. All areas photographed and the exterior is the car's weak point. The driver door shows some orange peeling and I think that when it was resprayed something was amiss with the paint. The rest of the car does however look good. At the time it appears the front screen rubber was replaced but not the rear. There is no rust or bubbling around these areas. The brightwork/chrome shows well. The rear bumper shows pitting which makes me think the front bumper was either re-chromed or OEM. Underside of the car looks good and floors solid (? replaced when restored). Small bubble of rust over passenger side arch and some evidence of repair at leading edge of driver's side wheel arch/rocker area.
As per previous owner, engine was rebuilt and odometer zeroed. Now reads 22,000. Car runs on twin SU's and drives through an automatic box. Much like my Triumph Stag (with auto box) I actually think the engine and gearbox go well together for Summer Cruising. Car pulls away without any bumps/grinds/smoking and stops straight as well. Car had transmission rebuild/brakes and shocks at the same time. Appraisal by Lawrence Auto Appraisal in 2008 @ $10,000. Included with sale and can scan and e-mail if required. Also included is original E-bay listing.
Interior is in great shape with the patina you would expect. All gauges seem to work fine and both fuel tank gauges work as does switching between them. Clock does not work. Dash top is perfect with no cracks. Electric windows work fine.
All in all a good daily driver that with a little exterior work would give years of pleasure. I would welcome any inspection.
A small receipt file for works done and a Florida State Title from 2000 as well as original owners manual included.
I believe as it is a US car it would be eligible for re-import without the usual duty.
Car is stored with my other cars and I am aware that shippers can take time. Assuming full payment received, I am happy to provide storage free up to 2 months. Also will work with any overseas buyer.

Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model X and Model S: How they compare on paper
Thu, Mar 8 2018When Jaguar released its first specifications on the 2019 I-Pace, we decided to see how it stacks up with a number of other EVs including the Tesla Model 3, Chevy Bolt EV, and Hyundai Kona EV. The reason being that they all deliver between 200 and 300 miles of range, and they were all quite close in size. But it wasn't a perfectly accurate comparison, because the Jaguar occupies an odd space in the electric market. While it offers similar range and size to those more entry-level EVs, it packs substantially more power, more brand cachet, and, once the official pricing was released, a much higher price tag. As such, we wanted to also compare it with the cars synonymous with luxury electric motoring (literally), the Tesla Model X and Model S. We're only comparing it with the base-level 75D models of each Tesla, since they are the closest in price and performance to the Jaguar. You can see the raw stats below, and can find more analysis and highlights farther down. If you'd like to compare these cars with others, be sure to try out our comparison tools. Performance All three of these electric cars use a similar powertrain consisting of two electric motors, one up front and one in the rear to power all four wheels. The Jaguar I-Pace's 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque is a fair bit more than the 328 horsepower and 387 pound-feet combined power from the Teslas, according to Motor Trend. But in the sprint to 60 mph, the Jaguar doesn't really gain an advantage. It's 0.4 seconds quicker than the Model X, but 0.3 sec. behind the Model S. This is despite the Jaguar weighing about the same as the Model S, and a few hundred pounds lighter than the Model X. View 32 Photos At 90 kWh, the Jaguar also has a larger battery capacity than the Tesla 75D models, but range is again mid-pack between Musk's cars. At 240 miles, it's just 3 miles ahead of the Model X, and 19 miles behind the Model S. The I-Pace and Model X also are about as hungry for electricity as each other, both with an energy consumption estimate of about 36 kWh/100 miles, while the Model S is the most frugal at 33. All three vehicles have the ability to use DC fast chargers, with Jaguar claiming an 80-percent charge in 40 minutes at a 100-kW charger. But only the Teslas have access to the Supercharger network, and they come with credits for free charging up to 400 kWh at those stations. Exterior and Interior Dimensions In every measurable way, the Jaguar is smaller than the two Teslas.
Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships
Thu, 29 Nov 2012Jaguar 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.
