1976 Jaguar Xj6 C Coupe 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Eads, Tennessee, United States
|
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 may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
Jaguar planning all-electric E-Pace crossover
Mon, Oct 26 2015Jaguar hasn't quite finished rolling out the new F-Pace (pictured above), and already reports are circulating of another crossover model to join it in the near future. According to Automobile, it'll be called the E-Pace. Here's the kicker: it'll be all-electric. The E-Pace would take advantage of ultra-efficient aerodynamics in order to drop its drag coefficient to just 0.28 g, thereby increasing efficiency. It'd also be the first fully electric model from Jaguar, and would likely be even smaller than the sporty new F-Pace. Through-the-road all-wheel drive would give it poor weather traction, and the electric motors would provide plenty of low-end punch. The model would go up against the Tesla Model X and a potential production version of the Audi E-Tron Quattro concept revealed in Frankfurt. Rather than handle production in-house, the E-Pace could emerge as the mysterious upcoming model which Jaguar Land Rover is planning to have Magna Steyr build on its behalf. The factory in Graz, Austria has long built the G-Class for Mercedes-Benz, continues to assemble the Mini Countryman, and has also handled models like the Aston Martin Rapide and BMW X3. Automobile figures that Jaguar would need to make at least 20,000 units each year to make the model profitable. For comparison's sake, Tesla is projected to move about 33,000 Model S units in 2015. Even if the E-Pace falls short of this target, the project could be worthwhile for JLR purely for publicity purposes and to help cut its average fleet emissions. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover UK factories could shut down in two weeks due to coronavirus
Tue, Feb 18 2020COVENTRY, England — Jaguar Land Rover has enough parts from China to maintain its British production for the next two weeks but not beyond that at the moment, Chief Executive Ralf Speth said on Tuesday. Britain's biggest carmaker, which operate three car factories in its home market, joined major global companies such as Apple in warning of the impact of the virus on supply chains. The rapidly spreading virus has killed nearly 1,900 in China and stricken some 72,000 people, confining millions to their homes, disrupting supply chains and delaying reopening of factories after the extended Lunar New Year holiday break. "We are safe for this week and we are safe for next week and in the third week we have... parts missing," said Speth when asking about the potential impact on British production. He said the firm's Chinese factory would open next week and was "safe for the very first week." Sales were not currently happening in China and it was unclear when they would return, he added. The boss of Tata Motors, JLR's parent company, speaking at the same event, said the company does not have sufficient visibility regarding parts suppliers from China. "We are safe for the month of February and for a good part of March," said Guenter Butschek. "Are we fully covered at this point of time for the full month of March? Unfortunately...not."
