Finally, vehicle is BACK UP FOR SALE ! I am selling for a friend.
Earlier I stopped the auction because owner didn't have title. Since car is registered and owned in the State of Maine, they DO NOT ISSUE a title for any car older than 1995.

This 1987 Jaguar XJ6 will come with a BILL OF SALE , CURRENT MAINE REGISTRATION , and a letter from the State of Maine to give to the division of motor vehicles and title and register in YOUR STATE.

Now, The car-

This car is owned by a Florida snowbird.   They sold their Florida home and no longer have need for the car.     The car has not had much use in the last few years.   Needs to be driven more and enjoyed again !

THEIR LOSS , YOUR GAIN ! SOLD TO FIRST COME FIRST SERVE !     I can not store car any longer !   MAKE AN OFFER,   but PLEASE don't insult me..

I've been in possession of the car for a few weeks now.   Here are the things I noticed wrong with the car. But please keep in mind I am NO EXPERT, and I know nothing about Jaguars..

FIRST, THE NOT SO GOOD:

-Car idles rough when first started, for about 20 seconds. Then it runs perfect.
       I wiggled some plug wires when it was idling rough, and it seemed to change the rough idle.   My guess is it needs a new distributor cap and wires.

-While in car and idling, I could hear a faint tapping I thought was coming from engine or passenger side. I traced it to the actual fuel rail and line going to back of car. When I grabbed the line behind rear tire, I could actually feel it tapping in my hand. So the tapping must be the fuel pump ?

-A/C does not get cold.    I checked fuses and the basics, and all seems fine. Owner said it worked last summer. Possibly lost a charge due to it sitting. Not sure.    Blower and controls work fine.

-Car has 2 gas tanks.   1 sending unit for gas gauge does not work (passenger side tank). The gas tank works and all,   but you can't tell if its full or empty. I went to fill the tank thinking it was empty, and its full.   Guess it would make a good backup tank :)

-Oil pressure gauge on dash doesn't show a reading.   Either the gauge is bad, or a bad sending unit.

-Exterior : Car has good paint, but not great.   There is a noticeable clearcoat issue on hood (SEE PICS). Right above rear passenger tire, there is a small ding.    Normal paint chips here and there for this age car. Some areas of clearcoat have a 'webbing' or hairline scratching.

-Interior : front floor mats need replaced.   Some light cracking in faux wood on dash. Front seats not ripped but have some stitching missing and show wear

NOW THE GOOD !:
-Exterior- All chrome parts are near perfect condition.     All windows work 100% . Sunroof opens as should.   Exterior motorized radio antenna works 100%. hood and trunk work 100%. Doors shut solid.

-Interior: Headliner had been replaced, still good. New upper dash. Radio works (don't have a tape to test cassette tape deck). All other knobs and buttons seem to work. Electric drivers seat works.

-Engine: Runs good. No unusual noises from motor. Transmission shifts smooth and the car rides down the road great. Has not used oil or left a spot in my driveway or garage either !    Hoses, brake lines, etc. are all in good shape.

-The car just, looks, good !! I already have 3 vehicles. I'd keep it myself but have no room !

-I have a lot of paperwork with the car. Including a parts manual and service manual. MANY service records and repair records (probably all of them) since new, even the original window sticker.

-according to paperwork, It had new shocks, A/C converted to new coolant, water pump, shocks, brakes and exhaust all have been done within the last 30k miles.

Well,    that's all I got.    Please check out the 2 videos I took of the car running Below!

ALSO LISTED LOCALLY ! WILL NOT SHIP and MUST BE PICKED UP WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF AUCTION END !

** SOLD AS IS CONDITION- NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED-    vehicle described to best of my knowledge **

Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.

Jaguar producing short film starring Damian Lewis from Homeland [w/video]

Fri, 30 Nov 2012

Jaguar is working up a short film to coincide with the US debut of the company's new F-Type. Desire will feature actor Damian Lewis in the lead role opposite Jordi Molla as the main villain in the story. The whole of the action will take place against the picturesque backdrop of the Chilean desert with filming starting early next month. According to Jaguar, the story will follow Lewis as he plays Clark, a man who delivers cars for living. Things get exciting when he crosses paths with a young woman played by Shannyn Sossamon.
With music by Lana Del Rey and some serious production value, Desire sounds keen to take its place among great automotive advertising short films like the BMW Driver series. Jaguar has released a quick teaser, which you can check out by heading over to the F-Type site. You may also take a peek at the full press release below for more information. Expect to see the film debut early next year.

Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
