: Collector's Item : 1997 Jaguar Xj6 Sedan With Exec Package, Straight 6, 4.0l on 2040-cars
Brooklyn, New York, United States
|
Runs strong like a beast with the smoothness and luxury you expect from a Jag. Everything works like new as it's been maintained on schedule by Jaguar from day one. It's the base model with the "Executive Package": - British Racing Green with tan leather interior - Leather Everywhere - Real burl walnut everywhere - Excellent, cold A/C - Cruise control - Heated seats (front and back) - Eight directional automatic front seats - JVC Bluetooth stereo with 8 speaker system--streams bluetooth devices including music, maps, and calls - Traction control (handles well in snow) - Four-wheel Independent suspension - Straight 6, 4.0 liter engine... ...of which only 2,500 were produced--It's also a 1997, the last year for the X300 chassis. Meaning it is/will be a collector's item that will begin appreciating in the near future. - Classic story of previous owner: Older lady, only drove short distances around Long Island on weekends and during summer as the car was garaged out there October through May every year; it was their "Hampton's Car". She died and her husband moved the car to a garage in the city where it was barely driven for two years. I acquired it and replaced the tires and updated the suspension system as that was all it needed. When I had it checked out by Jaguar of Manhattan they said they had never seen such a well preserved Jag of its age in New York: no rust or salt damage on the undercarriage, no leaks, all hoses, belts etc are up to spec. Engine is clean and strong. Transmission is extremely smooth. All electronic systems function as designed. Outside of some wear on the driver's seat, the car is in mint condition. - I'm selling it because I don't really want/need a car but felt this was too good to pass up when it came across my path. I've enjoyed it, even taken it skiing, all over the 95 corridor, cross-country, but don't really have time to deal with car ownership in NYC. - Only 123,000 original miles, mostly highway. - Four brand new shocks as well as four brand new, high performance tires. - The body and interior are in good to excellent condition with minor wear here and there. - Kelly BB is $5,600. - Please look at CarFax to see maintenance record. All scheduled maintenance and service has been performed by Jaguar. **Will have it fully detailed prior to delivery** **Free Delivery to NYC Metro Area** Arrangements can be made for delivery outside of NYC Metro. Serious inquiries only. |

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Jaguar F-Type Project 7 leaks in production trim ahead of Goodwood debut
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Just yesterday we brought you word that Jaguar was planning to bring something special to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year - the first product of its Special Operations division - and now we have it right here.
Previewed in concept form last year, Jaguar's big reveal appears to be the production version of the Project 7 show car - an extreme speedster version of the F-Type. Though we still don't have official details, these images leaked courtesy of 4WheelsNews show that the roadster seems to have lost little in the transition from concept to reality.
The bright blue paint job has been replaced by a more British shade of green, but the white trim - including the racing stripes running across (not up) the hood, the grille surround and the number circle on the door - appear to have carried over. As has the D-Type-inspired, fin-like, single raised cowling on the rear deck, though now positioned behind the left-hand driver's seat instead of the right. The wheels are fresh and the front lip spoiler looks even bigger, and the rear wing appears to have been reshaped.
