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!

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years
Wed, Jan 28 2015If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.
Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt
Fri, Sep 18 2015FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

This Jaguar E-Type is an even longer-legged feline
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Paul Branstad loves the shape and purity of the Series 1 Jaguar E-Type, produced from 1961 to 1968, but appreciates the longer length of the Series 3 V12 model, which affords occupants a more comfortable space in which to enjoy long trips. So when Branstad brought his damaged left-hand-drive 1968 roadster from its home in the US to Classic Motor Cars in the UK for a restoration, he had a special request: restore his car, but make it a bit longer.
"This is something that we have never done before. Our client wanted the interior leg room of a Series 3 V12 E-Type but the aesthetics of a Series 1 car," says Nick Goldthorp, managing director of CMC.
For the restoration, CMC added 4.5 inches of length to the floor pan of Branstad's E-Type to create the extra legroom. Goldthorp relates, "The V12 was actually nine inches longer than a Series 1 but a lot of the additional room was behind the seats as storage and was not required on our project." That's because CMC also built a trailer out of two E-Type rear ends that attaches to a custom-made removable tow hitch.
