1991 CLASSIC XJ6 Jaguar for sale. This is the hard to find Sovereign model, not the more common Vanden Plas. 133xxx original miles. In fact, of the 487 jaguars listed for sale on Ebay at the time of this posting, only two are Sovereigns. I am the third owner of this Sovereign and have driven this jag back and forth to work (50 miles/day) for the past 15 months or so. No problems. Never overheats. No leaks. No uncommon engine noises. No interior rattles. Air and heat works good. Drive train, exhaust, engine - no problems. This jaguar has a unique "sport" button on the center console that reconfigures the rpms and torque for fast get-aways. This will certainly squeel some rubber and turn some heads!

Classic black color with tan leather interior. Lots of chrome - grille, door handles, etc. No rust on the exterior. Tires have a lot of tread, probably 65 percent or so. This model is the one the Queen of England rides around in in the movies! There were only 57,000 Sovereign models made. NADA classifies this car as a "classic" and you can find its value as around $12000 for excellent,  $7500 for good to very good, and $5500 for "fair" condition. I would classify this jag as "good" for the simple fact that it needs a professional buff to bring out the color on the top and trunk. The body is in very good condition with only one or two very minor dings on one side and a small blemish on the hood.

There are a few things that do not work on the car: The intermittant wiper works but not properly, the front fog lights I removed because they really dated the car (the wiring harness and bracket are still in place), the power locks do not work (needs new actuators), the little hydraulic lifts in the trunk have lost most of their spunk, an exterior light somewhere is not shining brightly enough which has caused an "idiot" light on the dash to show (little picture of a bulb), the driver's retractable shoulder strap is not working consistantly, the headliner is loose in the very back. Other than that . . . things are in good shape. I have spent several dollars in the past 18 months on these things: new brakes and rotors all around, new gas valve, new fuel pump, new power steering hoses and refill, new head gasket (was leaking), new oil valve (was leaking), new heater brushes and cleaning.

The car has no oil leaks and runs good. I have 5 cars (3 too many) and am just reducing inventory. It is a fun car to drive. I always wanted a jaguar, so I bought this one off an old fellow who had driven it for several years. It has a milage ALLOWANCE for relatively low miles for this age.

The price is right with a low starting bid and NO RESERVE. Hope you win!

UK car output falls 14% in March, may get worse with no-deal Brexit

Tue, Apr 30 2019

LONDON — British car output fell for the 10th month in a row in March, hit by a slowdown in key foreign markets, and the sector stands to suffer a lot more if the country leaves the European Union without a deal, an industry body said on Tuesday. Output tumbled by an annual 14.4 percent to 126,195 cars in March, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said. Exports, which account for nearly four out of every five cars made in Britain, were down by 13.4 percent. The SMMT said analysis it had commissioned predicted output would fall this year to 1.36 million units from 1.52 million in 2018, assuming London can secure a transition deal with the EU. If Britain has to rely instead on World Trade Organization rules for its trade with the bloc, which include import tariffs, output is forecast to fall by around 30 percent to 1.07 million units in 2021, returning to mid-1980s levels, the SMMT said. The forecasts were produced for SMMT by AutoAnalysis, a consultancy. Prime Minister Theresa May has secured a delay to the Brexit deadline until Oct. 31, giving her more time to try to break an impasse in parliament over the terms of Britain's departure from the EU. Foreign minister Jeremy Hunt traveled to Japan earlier this month to try to persuade the Japanese government and Toyota, which has a big presence in Britain, that London was determined to avoid a no-deal Brexit. "Just a few years ago, industry was on track to produce 2 million cars by 2020 — a target now impossible with Britain's reputation as stable and attractive business environment undermined," SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said. "All parties must find a compromise urgently so we can set about repairing the damage and diverting energy and investment to the technological challenges that will define the future of the global industry."

Dick Van Dyke escapes his flaming Jaguar on the 101

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Actor Dick Van Dyke was caught in a dangerous situation on a Los Angeles highway (who are we kidding, every situation on an LA highway is dangerous), when his Jaguar XJ spontaneously caught fire. The 87-year-old actor/comedian pulled to the side and attempted to call emergency services when another motorist pulled him from the car. There seems to be some confusion as to whether Van Dyke was passed out or merely calling emergency services.
According to the photos and video from NBC and The Today Show, the car was thoroughly cooked in the blaze and is now a total loss. After the incident, Van Dyke's wife, Arlene, posted that the actor was "fine," sharing a Vine video of the star, the car, and a few CHP troopers that were on hand. Later in the day, Van Dyke tweeted a photo of his toasted sedan, saying, "Used Jag for sale REAL CHEAP!!"
You can view the Today show segment on the incident as well as Arlene Van Dyke's Vine video, below.

2014 Jaguar XJR is large, in charge

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

There are few things in this world we love more than a huge, supersonic-feeling sedan, and Jaguar has just ripped the sheets off of its newest entry into that set of bruisers. The 2014 Jaguar XJR puts down a full 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque courtesy of a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. All that thrust lands on the rear tires through an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the big aluminum-chassis'd four door can sprint to 60 miles per hour in a skinny 4.4 seconds. Top speed sits at an electronically limited 174 mph, and Jaguar estimates the machine will still return up to 23 miles per gallon highway.
Do. Want.
The 2014 XJR also features stiffer spring and damper rates along with an electronically controlled rear differential. Of course, there are plenty of styling tweaks on hand to separate the most menacing XJ from the rest of the family. Those include new fascias, R emblems and massive 20-inch wheels outdoors as well as special seating and trim elements indoors. Asking price? That would Be $116,000 for the XJR and $119,000 for the long-wheelbase L version. Check out the full press blast below.
