I am offering for sale My 1985 Series III Jaguar XJ6


If you are looking at this ad, then I am sure you are quite familiar with this car and know that 1985 was one of the best years for these Series III jag.  I took this into consideration when I purchased her a little over 3 yrs ago.  She was well maintained by the previous owner and myself.  I have service records that will go along with the car as well as all manuals and many extra parts that I have collected over the years.  For those of you who do not know, every series III imported for the US market came out of the factory without a "leaper" on the hood.  Most american dealerships added the "leaper" to increase sales.  Mine remains untouched and original.

This isn't a low mileage example that has been sitting in a garage its whole life, un-used and with alot of expensive maintenance creeping up.  My car is a driver, all required maintenance has been done, it is a daily driver that can take long trips, doesn't make funny noises, no leaks and no suprises here, mechanically very sound and strong.

Cosmetically, she is a beauty!  I get compliments everywhere I go, you just do not see them as clean as this one, and you just don't see them on the road any more.  I love driving her on the weekends and I love the attention I get, so will you!

She has the original paint, I have taken pictures to point out the flays that exist.  2 spots of rust that are starting to bubble, 2 dimples on the driver side fender and a paint chip on the passenger side.  None of these take away from her beauty and is by far still one of the best examples (i believe) here in the north east.

As far as the interior goes, everything is there, everything is original.  The seats have held up pretty well and are still soft and supple unlike the hard dried up ones that do not get the garage life they deserve.  The seats aren't perfect, they have age lines that show, again nothing structural.  The wood is very nice, nicest I have seen around these parts, again from being garaged its entire life.  This leads me to the reason I am selling.  I have lost my garage and instead of having her sit outside, I have decided that it is time to move on and let her go to a good home.

The radio unit went out on me soon after I purchased her, I had it professionally removed and attempted to have it rebuilt by a professional who did not live up to expectation and damaged it.  I was a little disappointed, didn't want to put a newer radio in there and damage the console, so I left it alone, the new owner can hunt down a OEM radio online and fit it in, I actually got used to driving it without the radio.

All window motors work, including the roof.  However, the contacts on the moon roof switch needs to be cleaned a bit as sometimes you have to play with it a bit (press it more than once, very common).  Gas tank switch works as it should, tanks do not leak however sometimes the gauge for the left side tank will read full when it is actually not (not a major prob as it is intermittent).  I try to keep both tanks full anyhow.  Right side gauge reads correct.

People, this is not a showroom piece, it is a very attractive example and my price reflects that.  I am not selling for $10k-$12k like the low mileage mint ones.  I am sellling for less than $5k and willing to take offers from serious buyers.

If you are local and would like to see her in person or have a test-drive, I can be reached @ 973 280 5699.  I am available to answer any questions you may have.  If the winning buyer would like to fly in and drive her home, the nearest airport is Newark Liberty Int'l (EWR).  If you would like to have her shipped I will happily work with the shippers to coordinate pick-up.

Thank you for looking and good luck with your Offers !

Jaguar Land Rover to cut $6.8 billion in costs

Tue, Nov 10 2015

Jaguar Land Rover reduce costs by $6.8 billion and will push annual production volume to 1 million vehicles under a secret project called Leap 4.5, according to Reuters. The British automaker wants to achieve these ambitious goals by the end of the decade to compensate for the changing market in China and to counteract the price of meeting stricter emissions standards around the world. Leap 4.5 won't mean firing workers or cutting the automaker's $4.5 billion annual research budget. JLR will instead find savings by underpinning more models with modular platforms and by adjusting its supply chain. Future factories like the one in Brazil and the proposed plant in Slovakia also won't be affected by the new strategy. Globally, JLR continues to grow, and deliveries are up two percent through October 2015 to 390,965 vehicles. Business just last month was up 24 percent year-over-year to 41,553 units. However, the auto market's downturn in China has taken a bite out the automaker's success because volume dropped there 32 percent in the third quarter, Reuters reported. A global volume of 1 million vehicles will mean more than doubling 2014's 462,678 deliveries, but JLR has made significant investments to boost production recently. In addition to the future factories, it opened its first plant in China last year and an engine assembly site in the UK. The company also signed a deal with Magna Steyr in 2015 to build an upcoming model in Austria. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover might buy another luxury brand that it doesn't need

Mon, Sep 25 2017

It seems that Jaguar Land Rover may be getting bigger in the near future. According to Bloomberg, the company is looking at acquiring some tech companies, and possibly yet another luxury car brand, provided that it fits with the current lineup of cars. On the surface, this makes some sense since Bloomberg reports that a whopping 78 percent of Tata Motors' revenue comes from luxury brands. And of course, any kind of tech acquisition could be useful considering the rapid development of electric and autonomous vehicles. But dig a little deeper, and a possible luxury brand acquisition just doesn't make sense for Jaguar Land Rover. The main reason for this is that the Jaguar and Land Rover brands have the luxury market thoroughly covered. Both brands offer full luxury lines from entry-level to high-end ( Discovery Sport to Range Rover on the Land Rover side, and XE to XJ on the Jaguar side). They also cater to every kind of luxury, from sporty vehicles such as the F-Type and SVR Land Rovers, to cushy luxury machines such as the XJ and Range Rover. So whether the company is competing with BMW or Mercedes, Jaguar and Land Rover have the bases covered. There aren't any other typical luxury brands that would actually add anything to the current lineup. In fact, adding another conventional luxury brand could actually result in the new brand poaching existing Jaguar and Land Rover buyers, rather than picking up new ones. What would make more sense for Jaguar Land Rover would be to pick up either a more mainstream brand, or an ultra-luxury marque. Neither Jaguar nor Land Rover has something that competes directly with the likes of Ford or Toyota in the mainstream game, or Rolls-Royce or Bentley at the top of the luxury heap. Picking up a brand in one of these segments would allow JLR and Tata Motors to actually expand offerings and pick up more sales, rather than having an internal competitor. What path would be ideal? Probably going even farther upmarket. Supercar makers and ultra-luxury brands continue to sell well, and there's the potential for significant profit by layering on features and content to existing platforms. Perhaps the best possibility for a high-end complement to Jaguar Land Rover would be Aston Martin. Not only does it have a strong reputation and line-up, it also could handle both supercars and luxury sedans, thanks to its Lagonda sub brand. Of course it would require Aston Martin to be receptive to a purchase.

Are you the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R-S?

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

It's no secret that Jaguar is working on a fixed-roof version of the F-Type roadster, but now it looks like it's also developing a high-performance model for said coupe. Captured sharpening its claws at the Nürburgring, this F-Type Coupe prototype could very well be an R-S or even a more track-ready R-S GT variant.
Our biggest clue suggesting the latter are its massive brake rotors with bright-yellow calipers - similar pieces are also found on the recently introduced XKR-S GT. This would make sense, since a report in May said that Jaguar is looking to create a full line of R-S GT models in a similar fashion as the Mercedes-Benz AMG Black Series. Missing from this prototype, though, are the telltale aero add-ons we seen on the XKR-S GT - go-faster bits like the latter's front fascia winglets and rear wing, though this model is obviously still being developed. Regardless of what this new grippier, quicker kitty is called, we say "Yes, please."
