This is a survivor 1976 XJ6C. Not many made, and even fewer remain. It is original, to my knowledge. I acquired it a year or so ago, with the intent to restore it, but need to let it go. It was titled in MA, but wears a CA AAA club sticker. I think it was originally a California car. I really don't know any history on the car otherwise. It was sold to me by a Jaguar mechanic in the Boston area. I can provide contact info as needed. The car is silver, with a red interior. It has been repainted. The vinyl top has been removed, and repainted to match the car. The body has paint chips, a few door and body dings, and some rough edges where the front and rear windsheilds meet the body. It has been repainted at some point, and really needs a repaint to get the body back to 100%. I do not know of any rust in the doors or body panels, but have not really taken the car apart to look. The floorpans have rust spots in them. Each side has been repaired at some point, but need to be replaced. I will include replacement floorpans with the car. I bought them to replace the pans when I had the car repainted. The interior has the original Series II red leather back seat and panels, and the majority of the ineterior is original to the car. The front seats are Series III leather. The interior door handles and kick panels are from the same Series III car. They are of a different shade of red than the original, and show a subtle color difference. I wasn't sure which shade I was going with when I planned to redo the interior. The leather is cracked, and needs repairing or replacing. The headliner is intact, but sags. The visors need to be redone. The carpet is the original red, with newer mats, but needs to be replaced. The glass is all good. The power windows all work. The dash has some aging of the wood, with cracking of the clearcoat, but is in good shape. The gauges all work, but sometimes will clip out. I know this is a Lucas electrical issue. I haven't taken the time to chase it down. Likewise the highbeams, which don't want to work. The PO replaced the horn switch with an aftermarket part. I do not use the horn, and disabled it. The radio is a later 4 speaker cassette unit, and works. The climate control and AC work. The right front turn signal lamp is out. Otherwise all the lights work. The engine is the straight 6 DOHC 4.2L with twin Strombergs. It runs fine, but does have some run-on after the ignition is turned off, probably from carbon build-up. I have been putting fuel treatment in the tanks to try to get the deposits off the pistons and valves. The gas tanks are OK, and the fuel pumps and transfer switch work. The transmission shifts as it should, if a bit rough, and the brakes stop as they should. I do drive the car at highway speeds for prolonged periods during my commutes with no problems whatsoever. It is not a daily driver, more an occasional car, but I try to drive it as often as I can, because it is an easy car to drive. The suspension has that silky Jaguar independent suspension ride. It sits low, and just kind of hunkers down in the turns. The car is substantial, and drives that way. I do not know of any problems with the suspension. This car is a great candidate for a full restoration. It can be driven and enjoyed as it is, and restored as the owner wishes. It can be a template for a restomod. It gets looks now, and could be a show stopper with the silver exterior and red interior finished out. This would be a great winter project for the right owner. I have tried to describe the vehicle as honestly as possible. Prospective buyers are encouraged to ask questions before they bid. I will answer them as honestly as I can. The car is sold as is, with no warranty. Pickup or shipping is the buyer's responsibility. I will work with the buyer regarding transport. Please do not bid on the car if you do not intend to buy it. Winning bidder is required to post a nonrefundable $500.00 deposit to PayPal within 24 hrs of auction close, and to pay the balance of the sale price by cash or Cashiers Check from a US bank within 5 business days after auction close. Thank you for looking, and happy bidding.

Jaguar planning two bodystyles for next XJ
Wed, 17 Apr 2013As we alluded to in today's F-Type first drive, Jaguar hasn't been selling its wares in China for very long, and as a result, buyers there usually don't have the same appreciation for the brand's history. So you might reasonably think that the company's recent radical styling shift (kicked off by the 2008 XF) wouldn't be as jarring to the nation's buying populace since they really didn't have the automaker's more traditionally styled models from years past to compare them against.
Yet while Jaguar and its sister marque, Land Rover, continue to pick up steam in China's developing market, that apparently isn't necessarily the case. Local buyers there tend to have more conservative tastes when it comes to styling, preferring more upright dimensions, big back seats and larger quantities of traditional luxury materials (think: chrome and wood) than other markets currently find desirable. Thus, the very bold current-generation XJ sedan may be leaving some sales on the table.
According to Edmunds, Jag doesn't want to risk that, and as such, it is preparing two bodystyles for the next-generation XJ - one with the rakish coupe-like styling of the current model, and a more "old-school" three-box sedan designed to appeal to a wider swath of Chinese buyers.
Jaguar spotted testing hardcore F-Type SVR
Tue, Jul 7 2015Jaguar keeps churning out more and more potent versions of the F-Type. And if these latest spy shots are anything to go by, it's got an even more powerful version in the works. Spotted undergoing testing near the Nurburgring is what appears to be a more hardcore variant of Coventry's shapely sports car. Beneath the usual swirly camouflage we can make out a reshaped front end with a deeper splitter and bigger air vents, along with a giant rear wing affixed to the tail atop an enlarged diffuser and quad exhaust tips. The wheels look like they're mounted to a lowered suspension and pack bigger carbon-ceramic brakes as well. Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, Jaguar is likely to label the new F-Type performance flagship as an SVR as well. Jaguar spokesman Richard Agnew confirmed to Autoblog that the R-S badge that previously adorned the most potent Jags is being phased out. That leaves the SVR badge as the most likely to appear on the back of this beast once it reaches production, although that much has yet to be confirmed: "As we stated when Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations was formed," says Agnew, "it is our intention to create a high-performance Jaguar SVR and we are currently evaluating what product to launch first." Nameplates aside, we're more interested in what this amped-up F-Type is packing underneath. We'll likely be looking at an even further enhanced version of the company's signature 5.0-liter supercharged V8 pumping out a good 600 horsepower, which would eclipse both the 550 hp in the F-Type R and the 575 in the Project 7 speedster – potentially driving all four wheels. We'll just have to sit tight to find out, but in the meantime you can scope out the spy shots in the gallery above for a closer look at what Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations division has got in the cooker.

Jaguar Land Rover mulling factory in Georgia?
Sat, Feb 7 2015London's Sunday Times reported last October that Jaguar-Land Rover was sniffing around The South looking for a potential manufacturing site, and was "talking to several southern states." We imagine Georgia was one of them; The Peach State has Kia Motors Manufacturing in West Point, it claims Porsche HQ as a resident, and soon the Mercedes-Benz regional office, too. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has said that Governor Nathan Deal recently took the initiative to fly to the UK to "make prospect calls" with JLR executives about a deal. We don't have any details about the calls, but we'll guess that they involved Deal making a financial case for GA over other states while sipping a cup of tea. It's said that the English luxury maker wants to build a factory here with a 200,000-unit capacity, to take advantage of the same financial efficiencies that have planted other automakers in the US and Mexico; it opened a facility in China last year to build the Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, and the Jaguar XE, and is casting eyes over Brazilian and Saudi Arabian soil for other facilities. No timetable has been given for a decision.
