The iconic and sleek series III Jaguar XJ6 is considered by many to be one of the great sedan designs. Low slung with beautifully balanced proportions and lines, this car is a pleasure to behold. This particular car is in very good condition, with a recent respray in its original Burgundy, Dayton wire wheels and nice tan leather interior. It runs and drives well and gets looks everywhere it goes.

Body:
The body is straight with only a few very minor dings and chips. The paint is a good quality respray that is even, consistent and glossy. The chrome and brightwork is in very good condition, including the bumpers. There are two areas where the windshield meets the cowl where there is some rust bubbling under the paint. Other than that, the car is very rust free with solid rockers and floorpans. The glass is in good condition and nicely tinted windows add to car's sleek appearance. The authentic Dayton wire wheels are in good condition but the rear wheels have some flaking clear coat. Combined with chrome knock-offs, they give the car an even more classic look. The tires are matching Goodyear Assurance radials with lots of tread depth.

Interior:
The interior is in solid shape with very nice door panels. The front seats have some seam splitting while the back seats are very nice. The dash has a few cracks. The wood fascia appears nice but has some checking. Switch gear, gauges, and lights work correctly. The car has a CD player and all power window work except for the passenger side rear window. The headliner is not torn but is a little tired looking with some sagging. The power sunroof works correctly. There is a set of factory owner's manuals, factory jack, and an incomplete factory tool kit included with the car.

Mechanicals:
This car runs and drives well. The engine is strong and healthy and was rebuilt 54,000 miles ago. The transmission was also recently adjusted to shift smoother and all hoses and the brakes reconditioned. It starts and idles well though it has an intermittent hot idle issue; when this happens, the car will still start easily, but the idle will bog down and sometimes stall. This does not affect the drivability of the car. The transmission shifts well. The brakes function properly and have good pedal feel and response. The AC does not currently work, though the system is complete and intact.

Overall:
This Jaguar is quite beautiful, and as a 10-footer, gives the appearance of a fully restored classic. It runs and drives well and is great to cruise around in. It could be enjoyed as is and driven regularly, or with a little TLC could be made into an excellent example.

Jaguar Land Rover names new manufacturing chief for EV transformation

Thu, May 3 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is replacing its director for manufacturing as it prepares its plants for an electrified future, the firm said on Thursday. JLR operates three factories in its home market but is building its first electric car, the I-PACE, in Austria. The Indian-owned automaker's Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters earlier this year he is waiting for more information on trading conditions after Brexit before he decides whether to make electric cars in Britain. On Thursday, he said Executive Director for Manufacturing Wolfgang Stadler is retiring from the business, to be replaced by Director of Quality and Automotive Safety Grant McPherson starting July 1. "He will oversee the ongoing investment into our UK and global manufacturing, transforming our plants to enable Jaguar Land Rover's exciting electrified future," Speth said.

Newest Spectre trailer shows DB10, car chases, awesomeness

Wed, Jul 22 2015

It's not due in theaters until November and it's not like we've detected any weaknesses yet, but here we are with another trailer for the upcoming James Bond film, Spectre. That is not a complaint, because it looks like it's going to be, as one YouTuber said, "Spectretacular!" We digress. This time we get a little more of the Aston Martin DB10, including the top line for the spec sheet: Q says it will do 0-60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds. Putting on the hat that lets us sincerely debate totally fictitious facts in a totally fictitious universe, we don't think that's fast enough to stay away from the villain's Jaguar C-X75, but it's not like Bond needs to when he's got flamethrowers. So there. You 'll find the latest bout of awesome in the clip above, and look for all the throwback cues. Christoph Waltz dresses like one Ernst Stavro Blofeld and uses the same interior decorator. Bad guy Dave Bautista in a three-piece suit is remarkably reminiscent of Oddjob, and there are various nods to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Enjoy.

Lister introduces 666 hp, 208 mph limited edition Thunder

Sat, Feb 3 2018

Lister is one of the most storied nameplates when it comes to Jaguar-based racing cars, with tons of Le Mans heritage on its shoulders. The company says it's Britain's oldest surviving racing car company. As well as racing cars, Lister has produced several road-going specials, such as the widened XJ-S derivative called Le Mans and the Storm, whose 7-liter V12-engine was not only based on the XJR-9 racing car, but also the biggest V12 engine fitted to a production car since WWII. Now, in addition to continuation specials like the reborn Knobbly, there is a new Lister on the market — boldly called the Thunder. The Thunder is based on the F-Type, but its supercharged 5-liter V8 has been re-engineered to reach 666 horsepower. It will reach 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, 100 mph in 6.8 seconds and go all the way to 208 mph. To compare a production F-Type SVR to the Thunder, the Jaguar-badged car has 99 less horsepower and takes half a second longer to hit 62 mph. There will only be 99 units built, and they are priced at almost $200,000 in the UK Â— we reached out to Lister for a confirmation whether the cars will be made available to U.S. buyers. But they are selling out soon, as Lister today announced that in the 24 hours since the unveiling of the Thunder, 22 customers already put in an order, worth in excess of $4.37 million. But the Thunder will be much more than a limited edition plaque in the dashboard (and that 99 extra horsepower); the paintwork and the interior will be bespoke to the specially built car. The modifications to turn an F-Type into a Lister Thunder will be carried out at Lister's historic facility in Cambridge, UK.
