Classic 1988 Classic Jaguar Sovereign (original Jaguar ) on 2040-cars
Ashland, Massachusetts, United States
|
This auction is for an 1988 Jaguar XJ6. It is the Sovereign model, not the Van den Plas (ebay catagory doesn't have a Sovereign catagory, so it selected the VDP, so be it known that this is not the VDP model). I am the third owner and have had this nice car for almost 10 years. The previous owners were both doctors and the Jag has always been serviced by high quality Jaguar or European car specialists. The car has 129,000 original miles, I put 50k on it, mostly 10 round trips between Florida and Boston. The the car is designed for a comfortable highway ride, and has great accelleration at high speeds for those long interstate rides. The maintenance history repairs include suspension work, besides brakes and tires, the car has minor work on cosmetics. It does need rear shocks, which are riding ok but making noises. The AC conditioning is the old R12 type and the compressor belt is missing. Door handles and window motors have been replaced as needed, that seems to be the issue with these older Jaguars. The car has 4 new Yokohama radial tires, it has new front fenders and the sides and hood have been repainted five years ago, due to some rust areas on the front fenders. That has been corrected by replacing fenders. The clear coat is worn off on the top and the trunk due to the car cover wearing on it. The car has passed the State inspection and has a sticker valid through February 2014. This is a rear wheel drive car, with a full size spare tire. It also has real steel bumpers front and rear. The gas mileage is consitently 21 city and 24 on the long highway runs. The car is 25 years old and is a reliable driver. The original sticker price was around $75,000 dollars in 1988, but today, its book value is between 3 and 7 thousand. The bid is starting low with a low reserve. The car is sold as is. It is up to the buyer to inspect before taking delivery. Winning bidder needs to leave a deposit and pick up the vehicle within 7 days. Deposit will be returned if seller views car and decides not to purchase before taking delivery. Shipping and taxes are the resposibility of the buyer.

Jaguar Land Rover signs manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr
Thu, Jul 2 2015Jaguar Land Rover is in the midst of implementing big plans. Those include a raft of new models, and a series of new manufacturing facilities to build them. It seems, however, that the former is outpacing the latter, as the British automaker has just announced a new manufacturing contract to have some of its vehicles built off-site. The latest deal is with Magna Steyr, the contract manufacturer based in Graz, Austria. That could see a Land Rover produced at the same facility that has handled the Mercedes G-Class since 1979, or a Jaguar at the same place that assembled the Aston Martin Rapide until 2012 when production was moved back to the UK. The big question at this point is just what JLR will choose to have Magna build on its behalf. The British automaker isn't saying at this point, but a spokesman confirmed to Autoblog that it will be a future product – not an existing line moved from its current production site to the contract manufacturer, as Mercedes recently did with the R-Class. A timeline wasn't announced at this early stage, either, but we're told it will take about 24 months before new Jaguars or Land Rovers start rolling out of the plant in Austria. Just what those new vehicles will be remains to be seen, but Jaguar Land Rover has a number of new products on their way. It is expected to reveal in the near future a new Defender, a replacement for the current LR4/Discovery, the new Evoque convertible, a new XJ flagship sedan, and possibly a new coupe and convertible to take the place of the old XK. We'll soon see the new Jaguar F-Pace, which may be followed by additional crossovers as well. The company also recently introduced the new XE, XF, and Discovery Sport models, though given the timeframes, they'll almost certainly be produced at JLR's existing facilities. It recently opened its first overseas plant in China, has another one under construction in Brazil, and is also said to be considering a plant in North America on either side of the US-Mexican border. Jaguar Land Rover Signs Contract Manufacturing Agreement With Magna Steyr Whitley, UK - Jaguar Land Rover has agreed a manufacturing partnership with Magna Steyr, an operating unit of Magna International Inc, to build some future vehicles in Graz, Austria.
Jaguar XJ facelift suggests that if it ain't broke...
Tue, Dec 16 2014Jaguar is preparing what looks to be a very modest upgrade for its long-serving XJ, now heading into its fifth year in production. The fullsize luxury sedan's changes are so limited it seems like a stretch to even refer to these changes as a proper update. New front and rear lights represent the big changes, although the XJ's front grille looks to get a tiny bit of tweaking. Beyond that, though, we can't see too much changing for Jag's flagship luxury car. That said, there could be some tweaks below the sheetmetal and within the cabin that these images don't really show. Take a look at our gallery of spy photos, at the top of the page, and let us know what you think Jag is up to with this particular XJ.
Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships
Thu, 29 Nov 2012Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.
