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.

542-HP Jaguar XJR to debut at New York Auto Show
Wed, 20 Mar 2013Jaguar has just announced that a higher-than-ever performance version of its XJ flagship will be coming to this year's New York Auto Show next week. Joining the company's R lineup is this XJR, which will boast a stonking 542 horsepower from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine.
Though details about the new XJ are pretty slim - you can read Jag's teaser of a press release - we are told that the car will ride on a "bespoke chassis" and that some aerodynamics work has been done, as well. The one sultry image we have of the car shows a set of trim-specific wheels, lower sills and unique badging on the front grille.
The new XJR would seem to slot above the current top-dog XJ, the XJ Supersport. With a bump up of 32 hp versus the Supersport, performance should get a meaningful shot in the arm, as well. As for pricing, we'll have to wait for the NYC show to be sure. But other Jaguar models show an increase of between 15- and 20-percent between the R model and the next one down; that would indicate a price tag in the $130k range for a standard wheelbase XJR is in order.
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.
2018 Jaguar F-Pace S Long-Term Review | Wrapping up our six-month test
Mon, Mar 5 2018It's been six months since our long-term 2018 Jaguar F-Pace S arrived to warm our hands and hearts. Jaguar's most popular model with consumers was equally popular with the Autoblog staff. We drove it 13,000 miles and would continue to rack up more if Jaguar would just let us keep the keys. It was a great follow-up to our fuel-efficient but slightly gutless 2017 Jaguar XE diesel. Our Caesium Blue bomber is loaded with nearly every option. That includes heated seats front and rear, a black package that swaps out chrome for black trim, and a full-size spare (that takes up a lot space). The S model's supercharged 3.0-liter V6 sends 380 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic. All in, our F-Pace S will set you back $74,640. Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore: I spent a lot of time in the F-Pace this year. It's powerful, sporty, looks sharp (love the lively blue-purple paint) and has a solid interior. The styling resonated with me. I think Jaguar design boss Ian Callum and team nailed the proportions and curves. A crossover was sure to be controversial with Jag loyalists, but it's beautiful, and the reasoning for joining the SUV fray is ironclad. Everybody from Ferrari to Porsche is there. I appreciated the driving dynamics. The steering has decent feedback, the engine sounds good and has energy, and you ride just high enough to feel in command. The Jaguar DNA comes through. I took it to a tailgate, where I was boxed in and had to be the guy in the Jaguar who asks people to move so he can leave early. Cutting through rows of tailgaters in a purple Jag with black wheels isn't exactly subtle. But the car was versatile. I put tons of groceries in the back. My dog enjoyed the second row. It was good in snow. All the things you want in a crossover. The F-Pace was one of the more memorable long-termers we've had at Autoblog. It was fun to drive and stayed in high demand, even after we'd had it for months. It's not perfect. The interior was a little plain, and I don't love the infotainment, but in its first attempt at a crossover — Jaguar nailed it. Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder: While I found it comfortable for long highway drives Up North, this thing is absolutely ferocious in Dynamic Mode with the gear selector set to S. The paddles amp up the fun. It really changed the character of this cat, and I was always surprised by the transformation. I got a lot of looks in the F-Pace.
