1987 Jaguar Xj6 Venden Plas on 2040-cars
Delaware, Ohio, United States
Selling for a family member. '87 Jag XJ6, very, very nice original condition, originally a California car, and supposedly owned at one time by a member of the Forbes family (for what that's worth) Currently in Ohio. All factory options (as far as I know anyway), and all options work, including air, which cycles on but doesn't feel cold. Jag has been setting in garage (covered) for several years, started on occasion. When it was driven, it was well maintained. A very solid feeling and tight car.
Would need serviced due to setting, worst thing is tires. I'd not be afraid of a short trip, but any distance it should be gone over and serviced. Very smooth running straight 6 cyl. engine, 4.2 litre, 259 ci. Automatic. Beautiful leather interior showing minimum wear on driver's seat. Only drawback is the headliner is starting to pull loose from ceiling in spots. Working sunroof. Paint is in excellent condition, even around the fuel caps. This is probably one of the nicest Jags out there this age. Please PM me for the owner's contact info for any questions you may have. I can answer some, but I will give you the owner's phone numbers. |

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine
Sat, 08 Feb 2014European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
Scroll down to see how it all plays out on video.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
