1982 Jaguar Xj6 Vanden Plas --exceptional Speciman-- Beautiful on 2040-cars
Folsom, California, United States
|
I purchased this car for the sole purpose of bring her back to original beauty - - When I bought her she needed some TLC - - I paid $2500.00 for the car from a guy who inherited it from his aunt (the original owner) - -I drove the car from SF to Sacramento and immediately checked her into a very high end Jaguar speciality shop - - I have all teh receipts for over $10,000.00 worth of work so that she would drive like she did when she was new - - I wanted cold air, smooth shifting, smooth stops, no vibrations, no weird sounds, no leaks, no smells,no rough idle - - I just wanted it to be as close to perfect so that when I wanted to cruise I did not have to worry - - -While she was getting a mechanical make-over I located a set of dayton wire wheels ($1,500.00) and put a $1,000.00 set of tires on them - - they really set the car off. I did have the windows professional tinted just to protect the newly restored connolly leather interior - was well worth the $300.00. The car is a real head turner -- you just do not see these on the road anymore - - -I've been watching the collector mags and it seems that this car (especially because its a VP) is real likely to increase invalue significantly - -- Right now all the sources say $5,100.00 on low end (assuming junk) $7,100 mid range (maybe this car if only the necessities were done vs. hihg end restoration) and $10k on the higher side - noting that its worth more if significant work has been done to the car and it hasn't been cannibalized. I have a little over $13k in this car -- I'm not looking to give it away, but I have set a reasonable reserve that i beleive is fair in today's market - - The car is AS IS - it is 32 years old and requires constant love and attention - - - You will not be disappointed with this car. |

2013 Jaguar XJ AWD
Tue, 18 Dec 2012Even though this year's winter has gotten off to an abnormally slow start for most of North America, Jaguar has shown the world it means business by launching its all-new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system in Montreal, Canada. Designed primarily for consumers in the Northern US and Canada, Jaguar put us on the same snowy, slushy and icy roads that many of its buyers will have to deal with. Rather than making declawed versions of the XJ and XF, Jag says this system enhances the performance abilities of its sedans when desired while still making them as fun to drive as their rear-wheel-drive counterparts. We had a chance to test out both the XF AWD and XJ AWD, but we spent most of our time behind the wheel of the flagship XJ, driving it on the open roads as well as a few closed courses.
Considering the lengthy and convoluted history of the Jaguar brand - including a stint as a member of Ford's defunct Premier Automotive Group alongside Volvo and Aston Martin - it is rather surprising that the automaker is just now getting around to introducing an all-wheel-drive system intended for widespread use, but the new Instinctive AWD will finally allow the XF, XJ and other future products to better compete against the likes of Mercedes-Benz 4Matic, BMW xDrive and Audi Quattro. In the XJ, Jaguar expects the AWD models to account for around 40 percent of the product mix nationwide and a little bit more (50 percent) for the XF, but in the northern states, it expects around 80 percent of XF sales to be AWD variants.
Instinctive AWD is rear-biased and operates as full rear-wheel drive in good weather, but when the road conditions turn slick, the system can split engine power 50:50 between front and rear axles using a center transfer case.
Wacky Jaguar crossover mule is a mind-blowing mashup
Tue, 03 Dec 2013As Jaguar prepares to introduce its first-ever utility vehicle, our spy shooters have captured this jacked-up XF mule out testing. While a production Jaguar crossover will surely resemble something closer to the recent C-X17 Concept, we can't help but think that the automaker could sell at least a few of these lifted, four-wheel-drive sedans.
Other than proving that Jaguar is hard at work developing this new model using a cobbled-together body, there are some details we can put together about this luxury CUV. For one it's about the same length as an XF, while the ride height is obviously taller and the tire track wider. We're not sure what the rig on top of this mule is for, but the whole car has us reminiscing about the old sedan versions of the Subaru Outback and the AMC Eagle (with a luxury spin, of course).
Dick Van Dyke escapes his flaming Jaguar on the 101
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Actor Dick Van Dyke was caught in a dangerous situation on a Los Angeles highway (who are we kidding, every situation on an LA highway is dangerous), when his Jaguar XJ spontaneously caught fire. The 87-year-old actor/comedian pulled to the side and attempted to call emergency services when another motorist pulled him from the car. There seems to be some confusion as to whether Van Dyke was passed out or merely calling emergency services.
According to the photos and video from NBC and The Today Show, the car was thoroughly cooked in the blaze and is now a total loss. After the incident, Van Dyke's wife, Arlene, posted that the actor was "fine," sharing a Vine video of the star, the car, and a few CHP troopers that were on hand. Later in the day, Van Dyke tweeted a photo of his toasted sedan, saying, "Used Jag for sale REAL CHEAP!!"
