1985 Jaguar Xj6, Runs And Drives Great, Looks Beautiful on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
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 building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Jaguar considering lightweight F-Type Club Sport?
Wed, 02 Apr 2014In the market for a Jaguar F-Type? Then let us commend you, first of all, on your good taste. But you've got a difficult decision ahead of you: Do you go for the power of the V8 or the lighter weight of the V6? It's a tough call, even if the ~$30k range in price from the entry model to the flagship doesn't phase you.
Well, to make the decision easier (or potentially more difficult), Jaguar is said to be looking into yet another tempting option: that of a lightweight Club Sport model. Tipped to be based on the coupe (and not the heavier roadster), the F-Type Club Sport would allegedly shed a good 400 pounds or so off the curb weight, not so much through the removal of one component or another but through a "holistic" approach that would call on all aspects of the car to play their part in ditching excess weight. That could mean everything from carbon-fiber body panels to a stripped-out interior denuded of sound-deadening materials and creature comforts, says Auto Express.
In developing the rumored F-Type Club Sport, Jaguar is apparently facing a similar dilemma to what buyers are pondering: will it base the track-focused model on the top-of-the-line F-Type R, with its 5.0-liter supercharged V8 driving 542 horsepower to the rear set of lighweight alloys but weighing down the schnoz? Or should it try to get more power out of the lighter 3.0-liter supercharged V6, which currently nets 340 hp in base form and 380 in S spec? Let Jag know what you'd do by leaving your thoughts in Comments.
Jaguar I-Pace electric crossover sales are taking off
Tue, Nov 13 2018Earlier this month, it was reported that Jaguar Land Rover is due for a turnaround plan to cut costs and improve cash flow. The owner of JLR, Tata Motors, is scheduling a 18-month plan called "Project Change," worth $3.2 billion. But it seems a step in the right direction has already been taken with the introduction of Jaguar's electric I-Pace: InsideEVs is reporting that Jaguar sold 1,200 I-Pace models in October, which represents strong growth for the brand and the new model. 8.7 percent of Jaguar's total October sales consisted of the I-Pace, meaning that the total October sales volume of 13,764 units was largely boosted by the new electric crossover. Total sales were up 11.6 percent, and it was overall the best October ever for JLR. Some 2,500 I-Pace crossovers have been sold so far. The October sales figure is a noticeable rise from September's 710 cars, which itself is a strong pickup from just 140 cars sold in August. These are signs of both production and sales perking up, and it wouldn't be surprising to see monthly I-Pace sales hit 2,000 units sometime soon. It helps that the I-Pace is priced competitively with Tesla Models S and X, starting at $70,495 including destination charge, with Jaguar-like performance and looks. Last month, we reported of Jaguar possibly going electric-only in the next decade, with a portfolio consisting of an electric XJ, a full-sized EV crossover and an electric sports car in addition to the I-Pace. Brexit uncertainty and China-market woes mean Jaguar is on unstable ground, but as its owner is about to run an even tighter ship, and it first full-electric model is visibly picking up the pace, the coming decade could turn out to be a positive for Jaguar.
