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. |

Land Rover wins legal battle over Evoque clone Land Wind X7
Fri, Mar 22 2019Luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, part of Tata Motors Ltd, said it won a case in China against local rival Jiangling Motors Corp for making cars that copy features of Range Rover Evoque. Beijing Chaoyang District Court said on Friday that Evoque, whose latest model was launched in 2018, had five unique features that were copied directly in the Land Wind X7 built by Jiangling Motors, leading to widespread consumer confusion. The court ruled that all sales, manufacturing and marketing of the Land Wind X7 must stop immediately and Jaguar Land Rover be paid compensation. The two sports utility vehicles have a similar shape, with the roof and windows tapering from front to back, and near-identical tail lights and character lines on the side panelling. Britain's biggest carmaker had sued Jiangling in a rare move in 2016. Despite widespread and often blatant copying, global automakers generally don't take legal action in China as they feel the odds of winning against local firms are low. Also, a lawsuit can be bad for branding if the Chinese public think a foreign company is bullying domestic competitors. The new Range Rover Evoque will be launched in China in April 2019. Jiangling could not be immediately reached for comment.
Jaguar Heritage to auction off part of its classic-car collection
Mon, Feb 19 2018A few years back it was reported that Jaguar Land Rover had purchased the James Hull classic car collection in its entirety. The collection is beyond significant, as it was at the time of sale the biggest single collection of British cars in the world and the largest private car collection in the UK. Consisting of 543 cars, it ranged from the mundane to the obscure, including some extremely rare prototypes. There were 130 Jaguars, for example, from the C-type to the D-type to the XKSS. When the cars were put up for sale in 2014, the asking price was a not-insubstantial $170 million. JLR didn't reveal how much it spent to buy the cars, but now it seems the carmaker is about to recoup some of those costs. At least 50 cars from the collection will be sold by auction house Brightwells, as part of the Affordable Classics at Bicester sale on March 21; some reports have said JLR would be eventually offloading as many as 100 cars. Looking at the listing, there are some definite gems in there. Not all cars are British, as there are Citroens, Mercedes-Benzes, a Fiat and a Goggomobil. Jaguars and Land Rovers are notably absent from Brightwells' listing, which we take as a clue that the sale will consist of cars not crucial to JLR's wellbeing and heritage. That said, for a lover of British cars there's a possibility to grab something truly interesting: For example, the Reliant Scimitar Ferguson 4x4 Prototype must be worth preserving. A 4WD pioneer also known for Massey-Ferguson tractors, Ferguson fitted its system in Jensens as well as a prototype 4WD Mustang in the 1960s. The fiberglass-bodied Reliant sports car is an interesting sidenote in Ferguson's history. Then there's a Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS, which is a veritable rally-bred RWD hot hatch in comparison to the American market Chevrolet Chevette, its distant relative. On the hot hatch front, there are also Metro and Maestro turbos, which offer plenty of poke in a light, boxy body. Or if you view the internet's popular "Worst Cars Ever Made" lists as shopping lists, you could build your own collection of slightly dodgy cars: Start with the unfortunate-looking Vanden Plas Allegro, continue to the malaise-tastic Morris Ital Camper, and finish it off with a late-model Lada Riva wagon from the mid-1990s. Some cars are in tip-top shape, and some are best seen as restoration projects, like the very pretty Borgward Isabella coupe from 1960.
