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.

2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR First Drive

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Jaguar's F-Type SVR has a special new exhaust. I drove the car in Monterey, California, where there's this tunnel right in the middle of town. You see where I'm going with this. The pipes attached to the "normal" F-Type R's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 is a flatulent riot, one of the most flamboyant wind sections in modern exhaust-dom. And then Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations, the group of madmen responsible for the Project 7, comes along and rips it all out for the SVR. The room is needed for a rear diffuser, see. So a new system is fabbed using two fancy lightweight alloys, Inconel and titanium. A pair of mufflers sprout where one used to be. More. Better. Louder. Yes, all of that. Geez it's loud. And there's this tunnel, remember. Enter it and lift from the throttle, and it sounds as though there are some kids stowed away in the trunk tossing handfuls of M-80s out the back. "Big report" is what it'd say on the box if the F-Type SVR were a firework. It's dramatic, perhaps excessive. Scratch that – it's definitely excessive. This F-Type is only the second full-production effort from Jaguar Land Rover's SVO, the first being the Range Rover Sport SVR, and so it's also the first Jaguar SVR ever. Whereas that Range Rover combines quickness with surprising cross-country abilities, the F-Type SVR has a singular mission: Go faster. And so, with a tweak of the electronic limiter and some other fiddling, voila!, suddenly the coupe can reach a top speed of 200 mph. The convertible is not far behind at 195. Although there aren't many places in the world where you'll actually want to probe those max velocities, the engine's 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque are plenty to risk your license. The SVR adopts many of the engine improvements that hoisted the Project 7 to the same power level but bests that very special car's torque figure thanks mostly to new intercoolers. Remember, the regular F-Type R is only good for 550 hp. Only. What a world we live in. Aside from the added power, this is much more of a range-topping special trim than it is a significantly different model. Like the R, the SVR comes only with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Operating it in manual mode is more pleasant, in part because the paddle shifters behind the wheel are made out of aluminum instead of plastic like on other automatic F-Types.

An assortment of emblematic supercars is headed to auction

Sun, Sep 18 2022

Auction house RM Sotheby's is giving enthusiasts the chance to bid on the supercars that they had posters of when they were kids. It's organizing a live sale in Miami, Florida, in December 2022 that's limited to 60 high-end models built between the 1970s and the 2010s. The oldest car in the catalog is a V12-powered 1974 Jaguar E-Type, though keep in mind that only 20 of the 60 available slots have been filled so far. At the other end of the spectrum, the newest model is currently a 2014 BMW M5. If your automotive tastes are firmly anchored in the 1980s, there's a wide selection of cars to choose from such as a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition and a 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo with a flat-nose conversion. If your heart belongs in the 1990s, RM's sale includes a 1990 Lamborghini LM 002, a 1995 Ferrari 512 M, and a 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo. Bentley models and a 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR are among the newer classics. Carmakers weren't alone in pursuing speed, style, and extravagance in the 1980s; tuners fought hard for a piece of the pie as well, and RM's sale reflects that. Collectors will get the rare opportunity to bid on a number of pre-merger AMG models like a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SL 5.0 (R107), a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC 6.0 (C126) with a wide-body kit, and a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL 6.0 (W126). BMW-based Alpina models are well represented, too: RM accepted a pair of 6 Series-based 1987 B7 coupes and a 3 Series-based B6 2.8.Â There are several slots left so it's not too late to submit your car. If you're a buyer, plan on being in Miami on December 9 and 10, 2022. We suggest clearing up space in your garage first: every car is offered with no reserve, so the selling price will be the highest bid. Related Video This content is hosted by a third party.
