This 1986 XJ is offered for sale with NO RESERVE. MY WIFE HAS DEMANDED ITS SALE AND SO IT MUST GO. I originally bought this XJ6 on Ebay back in the summer of 2006 from a Northern California seller. At that time, the seller claimed in the listing to have a relationship with a Jaguar dealer and that this vehicle was one of the last of this body style imported and sold. I have no way of knowing if that was true. When I bought the car, it had 181,371 miles on it. It was drive-able and was in generally good physical condition, but after many miles I knew it needed work.

I immediately had the ball joints, tie rods, steering rack, sway bars, and shocks replaced. I then replaced all the brake components, Then came the catalytic converters and the exhaust. That was all on the first bill, just short of 10k. I Would later have the electrical system replaced, and the engine rebuilt, radiator replaced,and of course every belt and tube, all by the same mechanic. Furthermore, 2 of the tires are brand new, the 2 others are fairly new.

That was the small money.

In the fall of 06, I brought the car to UNIQUE AUTO SPORTS. They are not on Long Island any more, but you may know them from the TV Show "Unique Whips". They did a full body restoration and paint job. That is why you don't see any rust in any photo. They also did a full interior restoration. This included reupholstering the leather seating, and replacing all door and dash wood. That is why the interior looks so good. The wood steering wheel you see is a fairly new addition and was never redone, however it is an authentic to this model Jaguar xj6 wheel. I have the original leather one as well. The money spent on this was more than all the mechanical work combined.

Alas, in the six plus years I have owned the car, I have put less than 4000 miles on it. The Pictures you see are taken at the Inn at Great Neck Hotel, the garage of which is the cars home.The Mechanic is across the street, (Richie at Great Neck Super Service) It does not go out in bad weather, ever.

Regardless of the work, being 27 years old, the car is being sold as is where is, but I welcome all inspections and test drives. In fact, if you come out to see or pick up the car, based on availability, I will comp your stay. I have nothing to hide, and if you bring temporary plates I see no reason the car couldn't be driven home to where ever you live.

Just about everything works, AC and Heat. I also put in a Sony head unit with CD and a line in. I never replaced the rear speaker but think they work, however they send a meaningless error message to the head unit. The windows work, but are some times slow. The interior lights work, the high beams at night work. the low beans don't, but the highs are not bright enough to be an issue, and I think its just the bulb. the cigarette lighter power doesn't work, and some times when unlocking the whole car, one of the doors doesn't unlock, but it usually does.

The car drives as it should.

Its good to be a little handy when you own this type of car, and to save on repair costs I have a parts car that is included in the sale, but it must be towed and can not be driven.

Please don't be afraid to ask questions or come and inspect, but only bid if you have a good track record and are serious, because with no reserve, if you win it, you win it.

Good luck and thanks for looking.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

First Ride: 2014 Jaguar F-Type [w/video]

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

Shotgun In Coventry's First Sports Car In Decades
For every car, there is a passionate group of fans who love it, and the F-Type already has a few million rabid followers. These are fabulous things, sports cars, and we're very happy that Jaguar is making one again. Finally. (Before you start relishing the prospect of correcting us, the XK is really a grand tourer, not a sports car.)
The main question, however, will be whether someone in a position to buy a lifestyle-enhancing yet impractical F-Type will do so in the face of more established competitors from Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW. The last time Jaguar built a true two-seater sports car (1974 E-Type; the last of the XJ220 limited run in 1994 doesn't count in this league), most of today's new buyers were too young or may not yet have been born. At any rate, the F-Type has a lot of work to do for the brand beyond just selling itself.
