Summary: the previous owner died, and the car was left in her garage for 14 years. As a result, it has low mileage and is in good condition. This car is my daily driver during the summer. It runs and drives quite well. A favorite with friends, family, and fellow enthusiasts.
Year: 1986 Make: Jaguar Model: XJ6 Mileage: 78,143 Engine: 4.2 liter inline 6 Transmission: 3-speed automatic Exterior: Light grey/metallic-blue Interior: Dark blue leather & wood Options: Sunroof, chrome wire wheels, power windows, AM/FM/MP3 radio, modern A/C coolant conversion I've owned this XJ6 since April 8, 2013. I bought it from an individual in Wethersfield, CT, just across the river. The woman who previously owned it passed away 14 years ago, and the car sat undriven in her garage until her elderly husband decided to sell it. I bought the car with a frozen odometer, showing 74,143 miles. I can't say for sure that was the actual mileage. The seller was not aware that the odometer was frozen. My theory is that it probably froze up at some point during the 14-year garaged period, but again, I can't say for sure. In any case, I would estimate that I've put between 3,000 and 4,000 miles on it since then, which is why I am listing it with 78,143 miles. I have done the following work on the car to restore it to it's origninal condition: - New exhaust (pipes, mufflers, resonators, all mounting hardware), stainless steel mufflers - New Michelin Defender 205/70R15 tires, balanced wheels - New radiator, coolant - Air Conditioning conversion to R134A (modern) coolant - New spark plugs, wires, ignition coil, distributor cap, and rotor - New cold start fuel injector, cleaned out all fuel injectors - Throttle body cleaning, idle tuning, timing adjustment - New coolant temp sensor, oxygen sensor, K&N air filter, fuel filter - New oil & filter, brake fluid, differential fluid - New front shock bushings, new right front shock absorber - New rear brake pads, headlamp bulbs, wiper blades - New BOSS Audio radio (takes iPod / mp3 input), two 10" subwoofers, 2000-Watt Pyle amp Engine is running great. The frame is very solid and mostly rust-free; it looks like it was spray-coated at some point before I bought it. The paint is in pretty good condition: no haze, but some small chips behind the tires. Chrome is nice all around, wire wheels are very eye-catching. The interior is also in good condition - wood, leather, and carpets look great. There are no stains whatsoever. This car has been washed, waxed, and vacuumed every other weekend for the entirety of my ownership. The car runs and drives great, and has the traditional "growler" engine sound and very smooth ride of a classic Jaguar. I can personally attest that this car is a great daily driver. Unfortunately I am at college and cannot bring the car with me, and so I would rather sell this car to an appreciative owner than keep it in storage while I'm gone. Comes with original radio, jack, lug wrench, and user manual. The previous owner passed all the car's documentation over to me along with the car. I have a 1-inch thick folder of work orders and receipts. There's also a picture of the car where it was garaged. I am selling the car for cash only, and I have a clean title. If you have any questions, let me know! Contact info: Bob Rudolph, (860) 338-7251 or bobrudolph53 (at) gmail (dot) com |

Jaguar readying SUV for Frankfurt debut
Thu, 01 Aug 2013In an effort to target higher-volume vehicle segments, Jaguar is getting ready to introduce its first-ever crossover, and Autoweek reports that we could see it debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. We've heard in the past that the new Jaguar crossover could carry the name XQ, but the report also mentions that the Q-type name is still in the running (now wouldn't Audi just love that?).
A little more clear than the crossover's name, AW says the cargo-friendly Jaguar should ride on the same platform as the upcoming Jaguar XS compact sedan rather than using a Land Rover platform. As for the on-sale date, it still sounds like the XS will hit the roads first in 2015 with the crossover model due out in 2016.
Jaguar Land Rover's latest tech makes roads safer for bikes [w/video]
Tue, Jan 20 2015Safety in automobiles isn't just about protecting the occupants anymore. It's about protecting pedestrians who might be struck by an automobile, and as Jaguar Land Rover is demonstrating, it's about protecting cyclists as well. The latest experimental safety system from the British automaker is called Bike Sense, and it builds upon technologies the company has demonstrated recently, taking them a step further to make the road safer for those riding on two wheels. The system uses a combination of colors, sounds and vibrations to alert the driver of a potential hazard that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. Demonstrated on an XJ sedan, the system identifies nearby two-wheeled vehicles as pedal-powered or motorized, and alerts the driver accordingly. If a cycle is passing a the vehicle's blind spot, the top of the seat will vibrate to virtually "tap" the driver on the left or right shoulder, prompting him or her to look over that shoulder for the hazard. LEDs inside the cabin will then illuminate amber to red in the direction that the bike is passing. The system will even chime a bicycle bell or motorcycle horn as the two-wheeled vehicle approaches, and vibrate or stiffen the accelerator pedal if the driver keeps moving towards the obstacle. And if an occupant of the parked vehicle starts to open the door into the path of moving vehicle, it'll flash a light, sound an alarm and even vibrate the door handle to warn the occupant of the oncoming hazard. We could imagine the alerts getting a little distracting, but JLR says the system is designed to prioritize potential hazards when their are groups of pedestrians, bicyclists and/or motorcycle riders on a busy urban street. This is, of course, just the latest in a long string of new systems JLR has under development, following such technologies as the Transparent Bonnet, the Smart Assistant, the Virtual Windscreen for track sessions and the 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen for city driving.

Jaguar's V8-powered XE looks to take aim at the BMW M3
Tue, May 23 2017It seems that Jaguar's littlest sedan is about to get one of the company's biggest engines. One of our spy photographers caught the company testing a disguised XE. While most people's first instincts would be to dissect the car, our photographer paid some extra attention to the number plate, and looked up the car's registration. He says the registration reveals that this little car is packing a 5.0-liter V8. The only sort of 5.0-liter V8 Jaguar makes is supercharged and makes 550 horsepower or more. So what we're probably looking at is a future 550-horsepower XE R. On the car itself, there appear to be larger intake vents on each side of the front bumper, likely for cooling off a much bigger, hotter engine. And of course a more aggressive appearance. The V8 theory is further backed up by the quad-tip exhaust that clearly needs more development. Aside from these changes, this XE looks pretty similar to the sportier models in the current range. It has the same side skirts as the XE R-Sport and XE S. It also uses the same wheels as the XE S. We can safely say that at least the wheels will be different when the V8 model reaches production. As for when that will be, we'd say don't expect to see a revealed production model for at least a year, and possibly more, since there appears to be a decent amount of development left to do.
