1975 Jaguar Xj6 Xj6c on 2040-cars
Paradise Valley, Arizona, United States
|
Jaguar XJ6 You are bidding on one of the most unique Jaguars that you will ever come across. This Jaguar XJ6 is a well maintained coupe. It was completed in 1993 from a body off bare shell restoration. From there it has been driven about 2835 miles. During the restoration there were no short cuts taken with the rusty metal cut outs and replaced with full sheet metal. All surfaces were prepared using Dupont Corlar Zinc Rich epoxy primer, topped with Dupont 99 Black acrylic lacquer. Body panels are die-straight and panel fit is much better than factory. The interior is the original leather, re-dyed with the original Leatherique in the original russet color. The door panels and carpets are all new as well as the rubber seats throughout. The vinyl top is an original NOS item. All the chrome was new or re-plated. The European spec SII XJ bumpers and lighting really unclutter the exterior. The driver can feel the difference in the handling over a North American spec car with the extra weight of the crash bumpers at the extremeties that are now absent. Mechanically, literally everything was gone through. Suspension assembles were completely restored and even the brake calipers were disassembled, zinc- dichromate plated, and reassembled with new kits and pistons. All the brake lines are stainless steel. The engine is a S1 E-type spec 4.2 with 8:1 compression, triple HD8's, Si E-type camshafts and vacuum advance distributor, having standard bore, new rings and bearings, and a 1970 E-type cylinder head. The transmission is a John's Cars GM TH350 Quarterbreed kit. Trans was rebuilt including a Transgo shift kit-very crisp. Exhaust is a Falcon Stainless Steel setup. Cylinder head casting number is FY836, located at the rear of the valley after the last plug hole. Engine number is 8L18533-i, and is original to the car. Body number is 5J1381, and vin is UF2J50247BW. The carburetor has been recently gone through with new floats, needle/seat assemblies, jet diaphragms and a setup. Fuel pumps were replaced about 7 years back with new Burlen Fuel System unts. It has a well maintained interstate battery in it. The only thing that is not absolutely 100% is the air conditioning, which still has the oringinaal R12, and blows cold but weak. But who needs air conditioning when you take this flawless car out for a cruise with the windows down. This car is available to view and inspect in Paradise Valley, Arizona. The car is "sold as is" no warranty's are implied. There is a $2,000 non-refundable deposit which must be paid at end of auction. The buyer assumes all responsibility for shipping and destination charges. Full payment must be received before the car is released.

Jaguar confirms XE reveal for September 8
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Jaguar has a whole raft of new products in the pipeline, from the long-awaited replacement for the XF mid-size sedan and a likely XJ-based replacement for the XK coupe and convertible to the production version of its C-X17 crossover concept. But arguably the most important will be the all-new XE, a compact sports sedan pointed squarely at the BMW 3 Series - a market segment which Jaguar last nipped at with the regrettable X-Type, one which it is now committed to tackling head on.
The British automaker has been trickling out a steady stream of details on its upcoming XE, from the initial announcement in March to the reveal of the disguised prototype in May and most recently the details released just last week of the new Ingenium engine family that will provide its motivation. Now Jaguar has confirmed the XE reveal timeframe and some more salient details of its chassis.
Set to be unveiled in London on September 8, the XE will reach European showrooms in 2015 and our shores in 2016. That's when buyers will be able to get their hands on what Jaguar is already characterizing as "a true driver's car; one that redefines the concept of the sports sedan."
Porsche tops JD Power APEAL study for 12th time
Wed, Jul 27 2016JD Power's 2016 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) study hasn't changed much this time around with Porsche coming in at No.1 for the 12th consecutive year, while BMW was close behind in second. Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz tied for third with Land Rover, Lexus, and Lincoln tied for No.5. The APEAL Study, according to JD Power, measures owners' level of excitement and emotional attachment across 77 parameters. Brands and cars are rated on a 1,000-point scale. The study found that new cars with modern safety features including low speed collision avoidance and blind spot monitoring have higher APEAL scores than vehicles without the features. The overall industry score increased from 798 to 801, which JD Power claims was helped by the launch of a variety of new vehicles. This year, 22 out of 30 new or redesigned cars received a higher score than the vehicle's respective segment average. Porsche is once again at the top of the list as the automaker's score increased by three points to 877. BMW outscored Jaguar to take second place with a score of 859, while the British automaker dropped three points from last year with 852 points. Volkswagen overtook Mini to become the top-ranked non-premium brand with 809 points, while the latter automaker trailed behind by one point. At the end of the scale, Smart came in at the very bottom for the second year in a row with a score of 745 points, which represents an increase of 62 points over last year. Fiat's score increased by six points to 755, but still confined the automaker to second-to-worst place for a consecutive year. Mitsubishi's score increased to 770, up from 755, to become the fourth-worst brand, while Jeep fell to third-worst with a decrease in seven points to 756. General Motors received six segment-level awards, followed by Hyundai with five, and BMW and VW earning four apiece. Surprise segment victories include the Chevrolet Camaro, which outscored the Dodge Challenger, and the Lexus RC which ranked above the BMW 4 and 3 Series. For more information on how the automakers ranked, check out the official release on the 2016 APEAL Study below or visit JD Power's website to analyze the graphs.

Jay Leno's Garage features funnyman's 1963 Jaguar E-Type
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Jay Leno looks inward on this episode of his eponymous garage, checking out a 1963 Jaguar XKE that he bought earlier this year. It is an example of his favorite kind of car, that being original and unrestored. He bought the E-Type from its first owner, a woman who purchased it new, held on to it for 50 years and took excellent care of it. Having never been in an accident, Leno says even the paint is 85- to 90-percent original.
In the video, the XKE sits in front of two heavily modded XK120s and another '63 XKE, but Leno said all he's done - and all he plans to do - is clean it up and put on a modern set of wire wheels for safety.
He's not on any junket and there are no guests, it's just a guy talking about an object dear to his heart. If you need a refresher on the excellent genes of the new F-Type, check out the video below.
