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!

Jaguar F-Pace SVR with 550 horsepower headlines 2019 F-Pace refresh

Thu, May 3 2018

Jaguar has introduced the lightly refreshed F-Pace for 2019. The regular models are updated with better infotainment and interior touches, but the big deal is the SVR version with its 5.0-liter V8 engine. We already saw the F-Pace SVR at the New York Auto Show, and it will now be available as a 2019 model. The supercharged V8 engine with a variable valve active exhaust system produces a whopping 550 horsepower and a touch over 501 lb-ft, hitting 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. The SVR's top speed is 176 mph, and it's priced from $79,990. The entire gasoline-powered F-Pace lineup gets exhaust particulate filters, even the SVR. Jaguar says the ultrafine particle trapping system is regenerated every time the driver lifts his foot off the throttle. Jaguar does say the setup is market-specific. There are also larger, 21.66-gallon fuel tanks for the 250- and 300-horsepower Ingenium I4 cars, the 380-hp V6 version and the SVR, to improve range. There's now adaptive cruise with steering assist, which operates between 0 and 112 mph, and emergency braking and lane-keeping assists are standard as well as a driver condition monitoring system and a rear camera. Safety tech has also been packaged into optional safety packs, called Park Pack, Drive Pack and Driver Assist Pack; the third of these combines the earlier two and adds adaptive cruise with steering assist. The 10-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard, and Jaguar now offers new, 14-way adjustable "slimline" sports seats as an option. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Formula E is on track financially, with NYC race coming up

Tue, Jul 4 2017

LONDON - Formula E could be breaking even already were it not investing for the future, chief executive Alejandro Agag said on Monday after the electric motor racing series reported continuing losses in its latest annual accounts. Accounts filed at Companies House showed Formula E Operations Ltd reduced its operating loss to 33.7 million euros ($38.32 million) at end-July 2016, a period covering its second season, from a previous 62.7 million. Net liabilities rose to 107.2 million euros from 72.1 million, while total revenues reached 56.6 million from a previous 19.7 million. "Everything is going according to plan," Agag, whose city-based series will be racing in New York for the first time on July 15 and 16, told Reuters in an interview at his London offices. "Actually we are doing incredibly well financially according to our plan. "We could have broken even this year but we decided to invest more in marketing and promotion. We decided to add races like the one in New York, which is in year one a race which is costing, we have significant capital expenditure." "It's really up to us when we want to go to break even or not. We could be in break-even now, we could be in break-even next season but we may decide to invest more in marketing and promotion." Agag said the shareholders, including John Malone's Liberty Global and Discovery Communications, were supportive of the strategy and the series had attracted more investors, sponsors and car manufacturers. The New York races will be held in Brooklyn's Red hook neighborhood, with lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop with technology partner Qualcomm securing the naming rights. MANUFACTURER INTEREST Agag, whose series plays down competition with Liberty Media-owned Formula One, said more carmakers were set to join a series increasingly aligned with their commercial focus. "I think Formula E has become the preferred destination for manufacturers and there are a few reasons for that," said the Spaniard. "Obviously, one is that it is electric and manufacturers are more and more focusing on electric cars...and we are the only platform really to help them promote that technology and those types of cars. "And second, because of the cost. The cost of the team in Formula E is very moderate." Whereas top Formula One teams can burn through $300 million a year, as can the likes of Toyota in the World Endurance Championship, the budgets of successful Formula E teams are between 10 and 15 million.

Jaguar F-Type US order guide loose online

Fri, 08 Feb 2013


An alleged US order guide for the 2014 Jaguar F-Type has made its way online courtesy of the good people at F-TypeClub.com, documenting everything from wheel color options to special equipment packages. From the looks of things, buyers will be able to choose from a total of eight wheel designs in sizes ranging from 18 inches on the base model all the way up to 20 inches. While most of those rollers are available in either silver or black finishes, the 20-inch blade-style wheels are not only forged, but come with carbon-fiber trim. Fancy.
Depending on trim, F-Type buyers will get to choose between two types of seat, including a set of performance-style 14-way power adjustable thrones, complete with seat belts in black, red or tan. Other fun tricks include available power folding side view mirrors and a 770-watt, 14-speaker Meridian sound system.
