1985 Jaguar Xj6 on 2040-cars
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, United States
|
I have owned this car for about 12 years.
The Good: All recent rotors and brakes. The rear inboard discs are in good condition. The suspension is very tight. The tires are almost new and are mounted on Dayton wire wheels. All the gages work. The A/C works, power windows and door locks work. The sunroof works. All the lights function properly. The car starts and runs well with no taps rattles etc.. The transmissions shifts properly the fluid is bright pink as it should be. I just made a trip back and forth from OBX to Pittsburgh in this car and it effortlessly rolls down the interstate. At speeds between 75-80 mph I get about 14 mpg. I have always changed the oil and kept up with the maintenance. There is an aftermarket in dash CD player with a 6 disc changer in the trunk. All the speakers were upgraded. The headliner is not sagging. The Not So Good The leather interior is aging and cracking in places, The car was repainted 6 years ago and is now developing rust bubbles around the glass trim. The headlight buckets have rusted through in some places, but the headlights are still secure. It recently developed an exhaust leak between the muffler and the resonator. There is a dent in the passenger rear door from some idiot at the marina parking lot who did not look before backing up. The engine uses a quart of oil every 800 miles. I have no idea where it is going. The tailpipes are clean. The spark plugs look great, there are no drips on the ground. Possibly valve stem seals. The performance is not affected at all. The cruise control does not work. The dashboard has some cracks, The wood paneling on the dashboard is degrading but still in place. Conclusion: For a car this age and mileage it is in pretty good mechanical shape, cosmetically she is feeling her age. Don't hesitate to e-mail with questions. She is being sold as is where is. I prefer cash at the time of pickup. |

Jaguar Land Rover signs manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr
Thu, Jul 2 2015Jaguar Land Rover is in the midst of implementing big plans. Those include a raft of new models, and a series of new manufacturing facilities to build them. It seems, however, that the former is outpacing the latter, as the British automaker has just announced a new manufacturing contract to have some of its vehicles built off-site. The latest deal is with Magna Steyr, the contract manufacturer based in Graz, Austria. That could see a Land Rover produced at the same facility that has handled the Mercedes G-Class since 1979, or a Jaguar at the same place that assembled the Aston Martin Rapide until 2012 when production was moved back to the UK. The big question at this point is just what JLR will choose to have Magna build on its behalf. The British automaker isn't saying at this point, but a spokesman confirmed to Autoblog that it will be a future product – not an existing line moved from its current production site to the contract manufacturer, as Mercedes recently did with the R-Class. A timeline wasn't announced at this early stage, either, but we're told it will take about 24 months before new Jaguars or Land Rovers start rolling out of the plant in Austria. Just what those new vehicles will be remains to be seen, but Jaguar Land Rover has a number of new products on their way. It is expected to reveal in the near future a new Defender, a replacement for the current LR4/Discovery, the new Evoque convertible, a new XJ flagship sedan, and possibly a new coupe and convertible to take the place of the old XK. We'll soon see the new Jaguar F-Pace, which may be followed by additional crossovers as well. The company also recently introduced the new XE, XF, and Discovery Sport models, though given the timeframes, they'll almost certainly be produced at JLR's existing facilities. It recently opened its first overseas plant in China, has another one under construction in Brazil, and is also said to be considering a plant in North America on either side of the US-Mexican border. Jaguar Land Rover Signs Contract Manufacturing Agreement With Magna Steyr Whitley, UK - Jaguar Land Rover has agreed a manufacturing partnership with Magna Steyr, an operating unit of Magna International Inc, to build some future vehicles in Graz, Austria.
Jaguar C-X17 Concept teased before Frankfurt
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10, Jaguar is teasing the reveal of a design study to introduce its new advanced vehicle architecture. Dubbed the C-X17, the mysterious concept "illustrates the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand."
While it's not entirely clear what this architecture involves or what type of vehicle the C-X17 may be, this reveal is reminiscent of Jaguar's decision to unveil the C-X16 concept, a hybrid electric sports car, in Frankfurt in 2011. From the looks of the teaser image Jaguar released (click above to enlarge), we're guessing the C-X17 will be something between a low-slung crossover and a sporty wagon. But we won't have to wait too long to find out - Jaguar is streaming the live pre-show reveal to invited guests on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 9.
In addition to the C-X17, Jaguar be showing off the performance-oriented XJR and XFR-S, and, of course, the F-Type convertible. Scroll down for the official press release.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
