1985 Jaguar Xj6 Vanden Plas 69k Miles No Reserve on 2040-cars
Gurnee, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1985 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas Series 3. This is the top of the line XJ 6 available in 1985. The best thing about the car is the extremely low mileage for a car of its age. This car has only 69,000 miles on it. The car is a great driver. I would say that the condition of the car is good. It still rides like a jag should. The engine is Jaguar's legendary 4.2 liter straight 6 that was used in the E-type and it runs just a smooth as when it was new. It also features a cream leather interior that is in fair shape also. This car will be good for someone who is looking for a good honest driver. This car is 30 years old so it should be expected to have a few little quirks. There is some rust on the car that can be expected for something of this age. It is localized to the wheel well area. The underside of the car is solid. Also, right now the power antenna is not working, the hood latches need to be adjusted, and the exhaust is a little leaky. The only item that would need attention right away would be the brakes. The pedal on the car is squishy. It can still be driven and still stops but it only has about 40% of the braking power that it should. Other then those few things, all of the gauges work, all windows work, all of the lights work. The engine is in great shape and starts up right away. I have never had any major issues with it. The transmission also shifts buttery smooth. The suspension is very smooth too. The shocks are not blown or anything like that. The only thing that would limit this car from doing a cross country trip would be the brakes.
Thank you for looking. If you have any questions feel free to ask. |

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.
Wacky Jaguar crossover mule is a mind-blowing mashup
Tue, 03 Dec 2013As Jaguar prepares to introduce its first-ever utility vehicle, our spy shooters have captured this jacked-up XF mule out testing. While a production Jaguar crossover will surely resemble something closer to the recent C-X17 Concept, we can't help but think that the automaker could sell at least a few of these lifted, four-wheel-drive sedans.
Other than proving that Jaguar is hard at work developing this new model using a cobbled-together body, there are some details we can put together about this luxury CUV. For one it's about the same length as an XF, while the ride height is obviously taller and the tire track wider. We're not sure what the rig on top of this mule is for, but the whole car has us reminiscing about the old sedan versions of the Subaru Outback and the AMC Eagle (with a luxury spin, of course).
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
