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.

Jaguar may enter Formula E to advance electric portfolio

Mon, Dec 14 2015

The FIA Formula E Championship looks poised to gain another major automaker. According to reports from the UK, Jaguar Land Rover is preparing to announce a new electric vehicle strategy this week. And that is tipped to include participation in the all-electric racing series. According to Sky News, Jaguar's electric racing program would give the British carmaker the opportunity to showcase its prowess in electric propulsion. Quoting an unnamed insider, the UK news service reported that Formula E "offers live testing for electrification technologies in areas such as batteries and drivetrains; that's why it looks valuable to them." The program would likely be launched in conjunction with Williams, the F1 team with which it partnered on development of the aborted C-X75 hybrid supercar project recently unearthed for a starring role in the latest James Bond film Spectre. Williams helped develop the battery system that powers the electric spec racer used in Formula E. The partnership could take over from the Trulli team that is expected to soon drop out of the series. JLR wouldn't be the first automaker to participate in electric racing. Audi supports the Abt team, Renault the e.Dams outfit, and PSA Peugeot Citroen's DS brand the Virgin Racing squad. Mercedes and Volvo have also been reported to be looking carefully at participation, while BMW provides support vehicles for the series. Jaguar participates in vintage racing and Land Rover runs the Bowler off-road racing series. However, the last time the company supported a top-level works racing program was between 2000 and 2004 when Jaguar Racing (the precursor to today's Red Bull team) competed in Formula One. It has since offered the XKR GT2 racer and has been rumored to be considering a return to sports car racing, but the trend towards electrification now appears to be driving the Formula E initiative instead. We're waiting to hear back on requests for comment from Jaguar. But Sky reports that an official announcement will be made on Tuesday, so watch this space. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover mulling factory in Georgia?

Sat, Feb 7 2015

London's Sunday Times reported last October that Jaguar-Land Rover was sniffing around The South looking for a potential manufacturing site, and was "talking to several southern states." We imagine Georgia was one of them; The Peach State has Kia Motors Manufacturing in West Point, it claims Porsche HQ as a resident, and soon the Mercedes-Benz regional office, too. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has said that Governor Nathan Deal recently took the initiative to fly to the UK to "make prospect calls" with JLR executives about a deal. We don't have any details about the calls, but we'll guess that they involved Deal making a financial case for GA over other states while sipping a cup of tea. It's said that the English luxury maker wants to build a factory here with a 200,000-unit capacity, to take advantage of the same financial efficiencies that have planted other automakers in the US and Mexico; it opened a facility in China last year to build the Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, and the Jaguar XE, and is casting eyes over Brazilian and Saudi Arabian soil for other facilities. No timetable has been given for a decision.

Jaguar 3 Series-fighter to spawn coupe, wagon

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

With its sights set on the BMW 3 Series, Jaguar could be planning a full range of models for its upcoming entry-level car - possibly called the XS. We've already seen spy shots of the four-door version of this all-aluminum baby Jag, but according to Auto Express, the automaker will also offer the car in coupe and wagon variants.
The XS sedan should hit the market in 2015, and the coupe and wagon models are expected soon after that. Speaking with Jag's global brand director Adrian Hallmark, AE says that the XS will be focused on styling with a design similar to the recently introduced C-X17 crossover concept. Hallmark also said that the addition of the XS lineup could help Jaguar double its sales, which were at 357,773 global units in 2012. Head on over to Auto Express for some speculative renderings of the XS coupe and wagon.
