Great XJ6 restoration project. The early XJ's had all the lines that made Jaguar a marque. These cars came along before British Leyland and Ford influences. I have the car running nicely. It has not been on the road for a few years but I drained the old gas, flushed out the tank and cleaned the carbs. It starts and runs nicely. It was taken off the road due to a leak in the exhaust manifold where the downpipe attaches to the exhaust manifold. Not overly loud but enough to warrant a new gasket on one side, or tightening. The engine runs very nicely. It was tuned just prior to taking off the road. I rescued the car from a local man that was third owner and had lost interest in the car. I don't see why it can't be put put back on the road and a driving restoration take place. It will need painting, a headliner, a rubber for the front overrider, or a pair of earlier overriders would be nice, the centre of the rear bumper could use replating. The seats are worn in and comfortable. I see new leather seat covers on ebay at $280.00 for the fronts and the same for the back. The back seat has a crack and some of the seams are separating on the top. One of the horn rads is missing as is the right side sun visor. These small bits are easily found. The factory air cleaner comes with the car. I took it off to clean the carbs.
The tires are new, still having the paper on the treads and tags on the sidewall. They are Michelin. The gearbox seems to shift smoothly. I have not taken it down the road, only driving it around in our driveway. The brakes feel good. Radio works. The previous owner was driving the car prior to the exhaust manifold leak. All the lights and all gauges work, but not certain about the fuel gauge. I replaced the dual tank switch, but not enough gas in the tank to test it.
I don't see any rusting out. Surface rust in spots and on the roof but this can be addressed with painting. A good driving project at a very affordable price. No reserve auction.

Autoblog Podcast #327:
Jaguar XK and F-Type meet for final sibling faceoff
Fri, 08 Aug 2014There's nothing that real, dyed-in-the-wool car geeks love so much as to say "Old Car X is actually a lot better than New Car Y." For reasons that defy both logic and science, we all (your author included) are able to, almost simultaneously, bitch about needed advancements in current vehicles and then bemoan character lost in the next crop.
Mitsubishi Evo models have been supremely prone to this bifurcation of opinion in recent years (ask an Evo IX fanboy about the Evo X sometime... ), and performance cars wearing WRX, Mustang, and M3 badges have been deeply subject to it, as well.
The Jaguar XK and F-Type are not exactly in the same one-model, generational-changeover form as those mentioned above, but that doesn't mean that there aren't defenders of both the old dog and the new joint. Autocar seeks the truth of the matter in this new video, and we're just happy to come along for the ride. May the best sib win.
Jaguar XFR-S is motor-porn on a mountain road
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S might have only been good enough to take the runner-up spot in our Editor's Choice top five debuts at the LA Auto Show, but we'd be hard-pressed to find a car with a more exhilarating exhaust note. As proof of this, Jaguar released a video showing the XFR-S tearing up a windy, European mountain road in close to a minute of hardcore driving footage.
The big blue cat has the same great exhaust note of the XKR-S, and the driver puts all of the car's 550 horsepower to work demonstrating the handling - and drifting - abilities of the new XFR-S. If there's any disappointment to be had, it's the fact that you have to jump to the 30-second mark of the video for any of the action to start.
Scroll down to watch the video, and be sure your speakers are turned all the way up.
