1987 Jaguar Xj6 Vanden Plas on 2040-cars
Duluth, Minnesota, United States
|
24 years documentation since new. All original. Excellent Condition. Rare color combo. Everything works! Last production year of the Series III. Only Jaguar model designed by Pinninfarina. For more detail, read the detailed history report that follows this short summary: 1987 is the last production year for the XJ6 Series III. The Series III is the only Jaguar model ever to be designed by Pininfarina of Italy. As a Vanden Plas, it is even rarer. And this XJ6's superb condition is testimony to the care provided by the original San Francisco socialite who got the car as a gift from her husband (along with a mink coat in junk)! The paint and body condition is near perfect. The Satin Beige metallic color and Doeskin Connelly leather interior are both rare and highly desirable. Its leather and wood interior finishes are also in excellent condition; no rips, cracks, punctures, or tears (save a quarter-size scrape on the far left corner of the back bench seat which is a minor repair through an upholstery shop). The wood has been well maintained with its original deep African walnut luster; no warping, cracking or breaks in the clear coat. The car has zero rust and no mechanical or electronic issues. EVERYTHING WORKS! The service records for the vehicle are VERY complete with receipts and service detail for virtually every interval or repair since it was originally sold. Since my ownership in the last year, it has received extensive maintenance to include transmission servicing and new rear end including Jaguar-brand springs, adjustable gas shocks, ceramic brake pads, Bremo rotors, Girling caliper kits, radius arm bushings, cage mounts, differential seal and output bearing, crush sleeve, grade 8 bolts & Ny-locks, exhaust sealing rings and more. Other service performed and documented in the last 2,000 miles includes front end work such as: front brake rotors, front brake pads, front sub-frame mounts, lower ball joint, steering rack mounts, master brake cylinder, cam follower kit, alternator, alternator belt, four front upper shock bushings, two fuel solenoids, trip computer, re-veneered center console, AC expansion-valve, headlight relay, window lockout switch, right-front door lock actuator, two speedometer transducers, four drive belts, air pump hose, rebuilt AC compressor, two wiper blades, oil cap, oil filter, air filter and oil and lube service. The original dealer sticker is included in the vehicle's extensive documentation (new car dealer invoice--$45,668 out-the-door with Dayton Chrome Wire Wheels) with all of the original Jaguar owner's manuals, booklets and service logs (with dealer's stamps). Even the original Jaguar audio introductory cassette and cassette cleaning kit are included along with the original three sets of keys on leather Jaguar-issue key rings. All in all, it adds up to a driving experience that is likely better than the day it was manufactured. In short, it would be hard to find a more original XJ6 Series 3 Jaguar or one that has been so well cared for and serviced. The local Central Arizona Jaguar Club "chief of concours judging" states that it's one of the best he's reviewed. He further states that it is sure to be a top concours competitor should one desire to enter it into competition. And while most XJ6 Jaguars have a sagging backend, this vehicle sits at the height specified by the factory. This XJ6 shifts smoothly, accelerates steadily to deliver an opulent ride and quiet ride like no other. And wherever it stops, a crowd gathers. The bottom line; this auction winner will receive real value. In 2012, Bonham auction in Scottsdale sold an XJ6 S-3 for $27,500! In short, this is the right time to buy a collector-quality XJ6 Series III. But finding one with this much documented history (buyer receives a three-ring binder full of receipts and historical repair documentation), recent extensive maintenance and life-long care is extraordinarily rare indeed! |

Jaguar XE hits the 'Ring wearing swirly camo
Wed, 21 May 2014Jaguar is happy to show off its new XE sedan on its social media sites, but when testing at the Nürburgring, it's a very different story. These spy shots show the new model in camouflage to make it much harder to discern, but there are still some intriguing details to pick out.
These photos give us a really good look at the XE's quirky rear end. The sedan has a super short trunk that almost fools you into thinking its a notchback, but the top edge of the trunk is clearly visible. It's a somewhat odd-looking design with the rear glass running underneath the roof's overhang to create an integrated spoiler. Despite the camo, the front end is the same as ever with a blunt edge and sharp headlights. Jag certainly isn't afraid to try something a little different compared to the XE's competitors, notably the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
Some technical details about the XE are already established. This 3 Series-fighter is slated to go on sale in foreign markets in 2015 and in the US in 2016. We know that it ride's on Jag's new aluminum platform that also underpins the C-X17 crossover concept, and power comes from a pair of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, available in petrol- or diesel-fueled configurations.
With a new Jaguar and the Shell app, your car can pay for its own gas
Wed, Feb 15 2017Contactless payments are making their way into the car. Jaguar and Shell have the first major rollout, allowing you to pay for fuel through the car's touchscreen. Of course you'll still have to get out of the car to actually pump the fuel into the car, but hey, progress, right? Apple Pay and PayPal will be available payment methods from the start, and Android Pay will be added later. For this all to work, you'll need a new Jaguar (or Land Rover) with the InControl infotainment system, a connected phone with the InControl app and Shell app, some space in your tank, and some electronic money. When you pull up to a Shell station and launch the Shell app through the touchscreen, the car will use geolocation to figure out which station you're at and then prompt you to enter the pump number you're next to (don't want to pay for someone else's fuel now do you?). Once that's done, you tell the system how much fuel you want (it's not clear if you can just fill the tank like most normal people do) and then the screen in the car shows you a receipt; one is also sent to you via email. While this might just seem like trading one screen for another and entering info through your car instead of at the pump, contactless payments also have an added level of security over pulling out a credit card. (Credit card skimmers, which steal card data when you go to swipe at a kiosk or ATM, have been popular at gas stations.) It will also be welcome in the winter months, when you can limit your exposure time. Plus you'll never again have to respond to this incomplete sentence, which greets us at Shell stations everywhere: "Is this debit card?" InControl is available on every Jaguar and Land Rover model. And if you get this Shell app working on an F-Pace with the Jaguar Activity Key, you'll have the latest in minimal-touch technology. The system will roll out to people in the UK first and should arrive in the US later this year. Related Video: Jaguar Land Rover Technology Smartphone Luxury shell paypal
Jaguar Land Rover gets to work on new university R&D center
Fri, Mar 20 2015Jaguar Land Rover has a raft of new products in the pipeline, from the new Defender to the next-generation XF sedan. But new product isn't the only thing the British automaker is investing in: it's also opening new facilities around the world, including what it's calling the National Automotive Innovation Centre back home in the UK. Based at the University of Warwick, the new $220-million R&D center is the result of a joint effort between JLR, its parent company Tata, the manufacturing arm of the university and the British government. The facility will bring together professionals from the automaker as well as its suppliers with academics to encourage, as the name suggests, innovation in the automotive sector. Its 355,000 square feet are earmarked to become the hub for Jaguar Land Rover's advanced research activities, including "workshops, laboratories, virtual engineering suites and advanced powertrain facilities, equipped to enable a full range of design, visualisation and prototyping activities." The cornerstore was just laid in a ceremony this week, but the facility isn't due to open until the Spring of 2017 when it will encompass some 1,000 employees, including 600 relocated by JLR to the new location from other sites in the UK.
