1985 Jaquar xj6 referred to as a "lumper" meaning the engine has been changed from the Jaquar engine to a Camaro 305 engine. This makes the car much easier for mechanics to work on as well as find parts that are less expensive. There are scratches in the paint and the leather seats have some cracking. I drove this car summers only the first 4 years of owning it as well as put in some car shows. When not being driven car was exclusively garage kept. Due to illness in family and other obligations the car has not been driven in the last 3-4 years or so, therefore, it could probably use tires and a brake job. We installed an aftermarket JVC radio with CD player. The engine itself has only approximately 11000 miles on it. The story with this car is it was bought brand new in 1985/86 and driven for a very short time when it was in an accident. Due to the cost of export repairs the insurance company listed it as totaled. However, the car being of some solid steel was taken a few years later and restored. I have a clear rebuilt title from when we purchased it. We purchased on ebay in 2005 for $5001. It was always in Michigan until we purchased in 2005 and brought to Illinois. The last upgrade we did is to install an air compressor for the air conditioning. I am unsure if this actually works but the basics are there to fix if wanted. Also, we purchased the originally intended headlights and have them installed. When Jaquar sent these cars to the states they were intended to have one headlight larger than the other. Our government made them change them to the same size headlights. While they appeared to be different in size due to the frames they in fact were not. A few years ago we purchased a kit to convert them to the intended sizes and that is how they are now. The body is SOLID, this is a head turning car. The gloss on this car is stunning. There is one long scratch along one door, should be easy to buff/fix I have a low reserve, much lower than what I have paid and money put into it. VIN #sajjcalp4cc399s42 was not recognized by the ebay system but is correct VIN and shows up on Illinois VIN website as well as on title. Car was legally imported when first purchased in 1985.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones
Thu, Oct 19 2017While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.

US-spec 2017 Jaguar XE sport sedan revealed
Wed, Nov 18 2015The Jaguar XE touched down in certain international markets earlier this year, but now the US gets its first crack at the 2017 model, already updated after just a few months on sale. Our various drives of the entry-level cat have made us purr, and the price/engine combos aren't bad either: $34,900 for the XE 25t and its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine with 240 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque, $36,400 for the XE 20d and its 2.0-liter diesel four-cylinder with 180 hp and 311 lb-ft, and $41,700 for the XE 35t and its 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 340 hp and 332 lb-ft. All those prices are before the $995 destination charge. That Ingenium diesel will be the first oil-powered Jaguar on our shores, and will be one of the two models available with the company's torque-on-demand all-wheel drive, along with the 340-hp supercharged V6. Both AWD models are pure rear-wheel drive until power is required up front, at which time it can be shunted forward in 165 milliseconds. All trims get a ZF eight-speed automatic, but the supercharged 35t gets the sturdier 8HP70 transmission, while the rest get the more compact 8HP45 transmission. Cabin options will include an InControl Touch infotainment system with an eight-inch screen or an InControl Touch Pro system with a 10.2-inch screen and Apple Watch connectivity. Standard audio comes from a 380-watt system with 11 speakers, the upgrade runs to 825 watts and adds six more speakers. The sheet of standard and optional driver aids lists All-Surface Progress Control, a low-speed cruise control on top of adaptive cruise control, a laser heads-up display, Traffic Sign Recognition and an adaptive speed limiter that uses traffic sign information. The even newer XE gets here next spring, you can read more about it in the meantime in the press release below. 2017 JAGUAR XE DEBUTS IN LOS ANGELES WITH AWD AND APPLE WATCH CONNECTIVITY - Award-winning Jaguar XE sports sedan to arrive in U.S.
