1972 Jaguar XJ6 This is a three owner 1972 Jaguar
XJ6. The first owner was a military gentleman that purchased this car new in
England in June of 1972. The car has been in Colorado since 1973. On May 20,
2004 it was sold to a local man who owned it for the last 10 years. Interior -- The dash is in perfect condition. The wood package was upgraded by Madera Concepts to Carpathian Burled hardwood, which is the same type they use in Bentleys. This upgrade was almost $900, 20 years ago! The seats and door panels were recovered / customized in the early 90s. They are in near perfect condition and really stand out against the maroon paint. The carpet and mats are in great condition, with the exception of the driver’s area. There are no holds or ware spots, just discoloration – difficult to see because it is under the dash area. The entire inside has been steam cleaned. The car was upgraded with an aftermarket cruise control system, but I have never tried to use it. All of the glass is perfect and the windshield has new wiper blades. Body – The car was repainted in 1990 and you can tell from the pictures that this car has always been garaged. In my opinion, the paint is 8.5 out of 10. There are a few chips/dings on the passenger side and the driver’s side wheel well. All have been touched up and are barely noticeable. The paint has had a three stage clean-up which consists of compounding, polishing and waxing – it is very smooth and looks great. The previous owner pulled the car too far forward in his garage and bumped the lawnmower, so there is a dent in the nose just above the grill (see picture). All of the chrome appears to be original and is in good condition. I believe the exhaust was replaced during the engine conversion. The resonators are starting to gets holes in them, but they have been patched – the mufflers and the remainder of the exhaust is in good condition. There are no holes or rust in the bottom of the car. Included in the sale is a High-end California car cover that costs over $400. HVAC – At some point, the original owner had a larger AC unit installed
for the back passengers with a separate control. The vents are installed in the
rear deck lid area between the speakers. The system appears to still run off of
the old R-12 Freon (not R-134a) which has not been pressure tested to check for
leaks. I haven’t had the need for it since it doesn't get that hot in Colorado. Suspension/Tires -- The suspension is in great condition -- the
shocks are not brand new but still function well. The four tires on the car
have plenty of tread. The car also comes with two spare tires and the wheels
are in great condition. Spare Parts - this car comes with an
extensive amount of spare parts, including extra belts, wipers, CB, original XJ
letters, trunk trim (still in the original bag). I am also including the Haynes
repair manual, the factory repair manual and original factory service handbook
with case. The car also has a 2'x3' copy of the wiring diagram. I even have the
original sales brochure which comes with the car! **E-mail me for a link to Photobucket with 55 detailed photos. I'm sure there is something I’m forgetting, so please e-mail me with any questions. Thanks for looking! THERE IS NO

2014 Jaguar F-Type
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Stepping Into The Lion's Den With A Big-Hearted Cat
If you're like me - and our demographics suggests you are - you've probably never seen a new Jaguar sportscar at your local showroom. I'm 36, and it hasn't happened in my lifetime... and not by a little bit. Oh, there have been a string of XK coupes and convertibles, and as of late, there have even been some genuine high-performance specials - namely the R, R-S and R-S GT models - but their basis has always been the 2+2 grand tourer shell, not a lighter and smaller footprint with more intrinsic sporting intent. The truth is that it's been a half-century since Jaguar introduced a proper new sportscar. Today, most people know the brand strictly as a purveyor of wood- and hide-lined luxury sedans.
In fact, if you're not an enthusiast with some appreciation for the marque's history, it's a bit odd to hear Jaguar executives proclaim that they are a sportscar company and always have been. By their reckoning, the 2014 F-Type seen here is in fact a return to form, a Rip Van Winkled brand pillar reanimated and reimagined to take center stage. It's a sentiment that must be particularly odd for car shoppers in developing markets like China, where Jaguar hasn't even been selling cars for very long. Yet because the original 1961 E-Type is perhaps the most gorgeous car ever to lay ply on the world's roads, we're prepared to cut them some slack.
Lightweight E-Type to show historic side of Jaguar Special Operations in Monterey
Mon, 11 Aug 2014Jaguar has made a lot of great vehicles over the years, but as far as historians are concerned, it still very much lives in the shadow of the original E-Type, small as it was. In its image, Jaguar has made two generations of XK and the new F-Type, but what we have here is the most faithful continuation of the E-Type heritage yet.
Alongside the Range Rover Sport SVR and the F-Type Project 7 (making its US debut), Jaguar Land Rover and its new Special Operations division will roll into Pebble Beach this year with the continuation Lightweight E-Type. Of the 72,500 E-Types which Jaguar built between 1961 and 1975, only a dozen were Lightweight versions, and they remain the most coveted E-Types of all. It originally planned on building 18 examples, though, and five decades later, it's now committed to completing that original production run in faithful detail.
The Lightweight E-Type was based on the standard roadster and was homologated as such, just with some key upgrades to make it lighter and faster. The biggest change, of course, was the lightweight aluminum bodywork that cut 205 pounds off the curb weight. To replicate it, Jaguar took the last example (the only one made in 1964 after the original eleven were made in '63), scanned half its body surface, mirrored it to ensure symmetry and set about reproducing it with the same standard of materials available in the Sixties (and resisting the urge to go with more modern grades of aluminum). 75 percent of the 230 components are made in-house, with the largest stampings outsourced and built on machinery built to Jaguar's specifications off-site.
