1987 Jaguar Xj6, Great Candidate For V8 Conversion, Mild Restoration, Or Parts on 2040-cars
Saint Joseph, Michigan, United States
|
I purchased this car last year to use as a daily driver (pd $4200 & invested in new: Good Year tires, headliner, starter and more. Car ran great including one big interstate trip (3 hrs), then one day coming home the head gasket blew. I had heard this was a common outcome as the car approached 100K miles. I have decided not to keep the car as I don't have time to put into it. (The head gasket has not been repaired). It has been starting up with no issue. Car is sold as is…. The car has aprox. 100k miles & has been starting up fine despite the bad gasket, the car is complete with the exception that someone stole the rear trunk emblems (jaguar & xj6) off which were held on with an adhesive to the car. The A/C & Heat were working when I was driving it, the car is stock, (Air pump, emissions etc in place). It was passing Wi inspection up to 2 yrs ago. I bought it via a dealer (took it on a trade from what appears to be the original owner), who also had it serviced by the dealer. Title (my name), excellent tan interior & dash, straight body, decent paint BUT some rust where pans meet trans tunnel & where they meet the jack point, pans appear otherwise solid it’s just the welds that have decayed. This car could make someone a great V8 conversion or simply repair the headgasket and keep it stock. If I was going to swap to a Chevy 350 I would repair the floor pan welds while the engine and trans were out. Otherwise the floor carpet could be removed and the pans tacked back to the tunnel and jack points. Paint is in fair condition, but some general tidying can keep the car looking fine as is. The interior and dash will impress anyone as they are in great shape. (Tan leather being quite desirable). If someone wants a the car for a V8 conversion I may be willing to pull the motor and trans keep them for a modest reduction in price. Car is priced very low for quick sale, payment is due at end of auction, please don’t bid if you are not sure you want the car & feel free to ask me questions. Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer, but I am happy to work with your shipper to get it loaded or deliver it within an hour of southwest michigan. VIN: SAJAV1345HC465363 |

Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now
Mon, Jun 22 2015"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:
2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a seriously pretty kitty
Wed, 20 Nov 2013The F-Type roadster is a beautiful car, but if we're honest, the coupe might be even more so. The hard top creates a smooth, uninterrupted line from the windshield all the way back to the rear of the car, the kinked-up rear-quarter windows are a nice touch and, overall, the design looks more organic than the roadster.
With the coupe's introduction also comes a new engine in the F-Type lineup, the 550-horsepower 5.0-liter supercharged V8 found in the XFR-S and XKR-S, and it's fitted to the top model, the F-Type R Coupe. The 495-hp mill in the V8 S roadster won't be an option in the coupe, however, but we're okay with that because Jaguar claims the 550-hp variant will scoot to 60 mph in just four seconds. Jaguar also will offer the base F-Type Coupe, with a 340-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6, and the F-Type S Coupe, which has the same engine tuned to 380 hp. The base and mid-level models are quite quick, and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.1 and 4.8 seconds, respectively.
The F-Type Coupe is priced starting from $65,000, the S Coupe adds $12,000 and the R Coupe starts at $99,000 (prices don't include $895 destination fee). For more F-Type Coupe info, check out our previous post on it, or head on below to read the press release.
Stirling Moss' Jaguar C-Type could bring $7.5M in Monaco
Mon, Nov 23 2015With little over 50 examples made and a decorated racing history, the Jaguar C-Type is one of the most sought-after models ever made by the famous British marque. Bonhams has a very special one coming up for auction – one that Sir Stiling Moss drove at Le Mans in 1952. Jaguar built chassis number XKC 011 for its works racing team in 1952. It made its debut at Silverstone at the hands of pre-war racing legend Peter Walker. Then the factory outfitted with specially elongated bodywork for Le Mans, where Moss teamed up with Walker to split driving duties. Sadly it didn't make it to the finish line thanks to an engine failure, marking the second of eight DNFs that Moss would suffer in ten campaigns at the French endurance race. Moss drove this C-Type in several more races after it was converted back to its standard bodywork. It was then raced by Ecurie Francorchamps before being sold to run in British club racing. The current owner acquired it in 1963, and has held onto it until now. XKC 011 is scheduled to highlight the upcoming Bonhams event at the Fairmont Monte Carlo during the Monaco Grand Prix Historique next May. Bonhams has not published a pre-sale estimate for how much it expects this example to sell for. However in correspondence with Autoblog, the company's auction specialist James Knight revealed: "We certainly feel the car will exceed GBP5m and has the potential to achieve much more." That base estimate works out to over $7.5 million at current exchange rates. We'll be watching to see whether the final sale price comes closer to the $3.7 million for which - according to the Sports Car Market database - Gooding sold one C-Type in 2012, or to the $13.2 million which RM Sotheby's raised for another this past August.
