Finally, A Jag That Either A True Collector Or Muscle Car Driver Would Own! on 2040-cars
North Clarendon, Vermont, United States

She's powered by Chevy! But almost ALL of the original parts(except block) that were removed during conversion will be included with the sale. Paperwork and verification traces this vehicle to last known 71 XJ6 built by British Leyland and shown at the 1970 Chicago International Auto Show. After the show the vehicle was purchased by the Donaldson family of Stamford, Connecticut and has been with me since 1976.
The 350 hydro-matic with Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and chrome racing intake manifold plus center drop Corvette exhaust manifold means she really flies. Vehicle does not have air conditioning installed and if you wish to use it for long distance travel, I would recommend putting in an over-drive or changing the rear gearing. One of my former students talked his dad into selling it to my wife and I when the kids got their drivers licenses and "who was going to drive the Jag" almost tore the family apart. She needs a caring home and I need the garage space! Passport and ALL original manuals are going with you. One more thing - This car has another secret. It was driven by a young musician from Modesto, California who moved to Belmont, Vermont in 1978. As our friendship grew, Phil "Floatin" Houghton shared his past with my wife and me over lakeside chats, moonlit dinners and cruises in the Jag. Phil would say that "the only car I ever drove that had a better ride than my 71 XJ6 was a Rolls Royce Corniche convertible". He was right, but then he was right about a lot of things. Phil built "La Chateau Recording Studio, L.A.'s first 42 track facility, in 1976. Phil went on to record with such artists as Dan Hartman/Relight My Fire (Edgar Winter Group) but will always be known for being the first white rock musician to play with an all black group. You may have heard of them - They were called The Jackson Five! That's right - Michael Jackson's lead guitarist drove our mid-night blue kitty. I really did not intend to pull a Banksy on Ebay. Give her a good home. |

Exploring Romania's storied Transfagarasan Highway in a Jaguar F-Type V8 S
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Top Gear is, in some ways, a victim of its own success. When it declares a road the best in the world, like it did with Romania's Transfagarasan Highway during its 14th season, you can't blame people for showing up and wanting to check it out. Of course, then the road becomes clogged with tourists and is less fun to drive.
But is it possible that there is an even better driving road in Romania? One that is higher, smoother and undiscovered by tourists - at least not yet? Henry Catchpole from Evo thinks that he may have found it while driving a Jaguar F-Type V8 S that makes a sound that evokes a World War II British fighter plane.
Scroll down to take a brief trip to Romania and bask in the wonderful roar of this topless Jaguar.
Jaguar lifts the tailgate on XFR-S Sportbrake
Tue, 25 Feb 2014In the market for an amped-up Jaguar? Look for the letter R, adorning such performance models as the XFR and XJR sedans, the XKR coupe and convertible and the new F-Type R. But if it's bonkers performance you're after, you'll want to add the letter S into the mix as well. Jaguar uses the letters to connote its most hard-core performance variants like the two-door XKR-S and four-door XFR-S. And now it's applied them to the XF wagon as well, skipping the R treatment and going straight for the new XFR-S Sportbrake.
Leaked just the other day and headed for the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has now revealed its new power wagon in full. The XFR-S Sportbrake packs Coventry's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine boasting 542 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. That's the same version that powers the XKR-S and XFR-S sedan (not to mention the F-Type R and XJR), and drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic to rocket the estate to 60 in 4.6 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour.
That may be pretty quick, but doesn't quite stack up to the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model 4Matic Estate whose 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 offers up 577 hp and 590 lb-ft for a 3.6-second 0-60 time, or to the Audi RS6 Avant whose 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 churns out 552 hp and 516 lb-ft for a 3.9-second 0-62 sprint. Though the Jaguar is only a little behind in output, it's a good second slower where it's measured. Granted that the Benz and the Audi are both all-wheel-drive where the Jaguar powers the rear only, but if four-wheel traction is how you get the power to the road, we wonder why Jaguar wouldn't fall in line. Particularly when the Jag's starting price in the UK (don't expect to see it imported here) is quoted at £82,495 - several grand more than the £76,985 RS6 but just shy of the £85,880 Mercedes gets for the E63 S-Model wagon in the UK (where the less potent 'base' version is also available as the cheapest in the bunch at £75,885).
Jaguar F-Type Project 7 leaks in production trim ahead of Goodwood debut
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Just yesterday we brought you word that Jaguar was planning to bring something special to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year - the first product of its Special Operations division - and now we have it right here.
Previewed in concept form last year, Jaguar's big reveal appears to be the production version of the Project 7 show car - an extreme speedster version of the F-Type. Though we still don't have official details, these images leaked courtesy of 4WheelsNews show that the roadster seems to have lost little in the transition from concept to reality.
The bright blue paint job has been replaced by a more British shade of green, but the white trim - including the racing stripes running across (not up) the hood, the grille surround and the number circle on the door - appear to have carried over. As has the D-Type-inspired, fin-like, single raised cowling on the rear deck, though now positioned behind the left-hand driver's seat instead of the right. The wheels are fresh and the front lip spoiler looks even bigger, and the rear wing appears to have been reshaped.
