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 details XE for North America
Tue, Apr 28 2015Jaguar is bringing the XE to North America next spring, and in advance of its arrival, the British automaker is giving us more details on its new compact sports sedan. The top engine choice is dubbed the XE 35t, which is a little misleading since its tried-and-tested 3.0-liter V6 is actually supercharged, not turbocharged. Regardless of the manner of forced induction, its 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque are claimed to propel the XE to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. Buyers looking for something more frugal at the pump may be more interested in the other engine option. The XE 20d adopts Jaguar's new Ingenium diesel, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four good for 180 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque. That's quoted for a 0-60 time of 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph. Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive will also be available on both versions, but come by default in rear-drive form. Buyers will also have the choice among three trim levels, staring with Premium, moving up to Prestige and on to R-Sport with satin chrome and gloss black trim, a rear spoiler and 20-inch alloys. Pricing is set to be announced closer to launch, but for now you can scope out the details in the press release below, and watch this space for our upcoming drive report to follow our earlier report.

Watch four hours of fantastic machinery at Le Mans Classic 2016
Tue, Jul 12 2016The 24 Hours of Le Mans came and went, but it wasn't the end of the automotive activities at Circuit de la Sarthe. This past weekend, the venerable racetrack was host to the 2016 Le Mans Classic, in which seven decades of vintage racecars once again competed for glory. The event started with qualifying on Friday, July 8, and racing on the following Saturday and Sunday. Six "grids" of cars each included a different historic racing era, including the early days from 1923 to 1939, as well as that famous period from 1966 to 1971 that featured the all-conquering Ford GT40. The wide range of eligibility also permitted some unusual machines to show up, such as a 1950 Cadillac Series 61 and a 1974 Dodge Charger. This year also marked the debut of the Group C class for more recent Le Mans racers from 1982 to 1993. The 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B was not present, but one of the Peugeot 905 race cars that gave the marque a remarkable 1-2-3 finish at the 1993 Le Mans came back for the event. The Le Mans Classic also featured the Jaguar Classic Challenge just for cars made by the feline automaker, and the race attracted a bit of human star power. Chris Harris of Top Gear participated in the marque-specific race while behind the wheel of a new continuation Lightweight E-Type. And although the event happened over the weekend, you can catch most of the action via the recorded live stream above. It features a full four hours of vintage racing with commentary in both French and English. It's a great chance to see one of the best combinations of classic cars and historic venues out there.
