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 ended production of the XJ sedan in July, 2019
Thu, May 30 2019It's the end of the line for Jaguar's long-running XJ sedan, at least as we've come to know it today. Jaguar has confirmed to Autoblog that production of the current XJ will end this summer, with a report from Autocar suggesting that July 5 is the official end date. The brand's flagship sedan will get a replacement, and a spokesperson further confirmed to us that Jaguar will "continue the XJ nameplate." What's not entirely clear is when that vehicle will hit the market, or exactly what form it will take. At least we have some good clues. A few months back at the New York Auto Show, Jaguar design chief Ian Callum told us that "the XJ will be replaced" by a "like-size" car. He also hinted that they would be "doing more battery cars at Jaguar," and that the plan wouldn't be "just batteries put in an old car." Connecting the dots, it seems likely that the XJ will be replaced by a large flagship electric sedan. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Just last year, Jaguar celebrated the XJ's 50th anniversary with a special limited-edition model called the XJ50, and punctuated that debut with a lovely roadtrip that started at Jaguar's home in Coventry and concluded at the Paris Motor Show. But before we get too sentimental about what's come before, we ought to remember that the XJ's very name stands for "eXperimental Jaguar." So whatever comes next — likely a swoopy aluminum-intensive sedan chock full of batteries and a couple of powerful electric motors — will fit right in line with the British flagship's original mission statement. Onward and upward, chaps.
Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine
Sat, 08 Feb 2014European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."

2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake is one hot hauler
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Oh look, another super-hot wagon that won't be making its way to the US. Awesome.
Actually, in all honesty, it really is awesome. Meet the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, a red-hot (or blue-hot?) version of the rakish XF wagon that originally bowed at the Geneva Motor Show back in 2012. The formula here is pretty much plug-and-play: take the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XFR-S and shove it in the wagon body, and add all of the necessary visual flair fitting of a properly powerful Jag. The end result is an estate that packs 542 horsepower, 502 pound-feet of torque, and the ability to sprint to 60 miles per hour in a scant 4.6 seconds. Meow.
This Jaguar joins a growing segment of ultra-hot wagons in Europe, rounded out by offerings like the Audi RS6 Avant and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG longroof - the latter of which you can actually buy in North America. Sounds like the sort of comparison test we'd love to facilitate. Guess we'll have to leave that to our friends at Autocar, though.
