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's V8-powered XE looks to take aim at the BMW M3
Tue, May 23 2017It seems that Jaguar's littlest sedan is about to get one of the company's biggest engines. One of our spy photographers caught the company testing a disguised XE. While most people's first instincts would be to dissect the car, our photographer paid some extra attention to the number plate, and looked up the car's registration. He says the registration reveals that this little car is packing a 5.0-liter V8. The only sort of 5.0-liter V8 Jaguar makes is supercharged and makes 550 horsepower or more. So what we're probably looking at is a future 550-horsepower XE R. On the car itself, there appear to be larger intake vents on each side of the front bumper, likely for cooling off a much bigger, hotter engine. And of course a more aggressive appearance. The V8 theory is further backed up by the quad-tip exhaust that clearly needs more development. Aside from these changes, this XE looks pretty similar to the sportier models in the current range. It has the same side skirts as the XE R-Sport and XE S. It also uses the same wheels as the XE S. We can safely say that at least the wheels will be different when the V8 model reaches production. As for when that will be, we'd say don't expect to see a revealed production model for at least a year, and possibly more, since there appears to be a decent amount of development left to do.

Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
