: Collector's Item : 1997 Jaguar Xj6 Sedan With Exec Package, Straight 6, 4.0l on 2040-cars
Brooklyn, New York, United States
|
Runs strong like a beast with the smoothness and luxury you expect from a Jag. Everything works like new as it's been maintained on schedule by Jaguar from day one. It's the base model with the "Executive Package": - British Racing Green with tan leather interior - Leather Everywhere - Real burl walnut everywhere - Excellent, cold A/C - Cruise control - Heated seats (front and back) - Eight directional automatic front seats - JVC Bluetooth stereo with 8 speaker system--streams bluetooth devices including music, maps, and calls - Traction control (handles well in snow) - Four-wheel Independent suspension - Straight 6, 4.0 liter engine... ...of which only 2,500 were produced--It's also a 1997, the last year for the X300 chassis. Meaning it is/will be a collector's item that will begin appreciating in the near future. - Classic story of previous owner: Older lady, only drove short distances around Long Island on weekends and during summer as the car was garaged out there October through May every year; it was their "Hampton's Car". She died and her husband moved the car to a garage in the city where it was barely driven for two years. I acquired it and replaced the tires and updated the suspension system as that was all it needed. When I had it checked out by Jaguar of Manhattan they said they had never seen such a well preserved Jag of its age in New York: no rust or salt damage on the undercarriage, no leaks, all hoses, belts etc are up to spec. Engine is clean and strong. Transmission is extremely smooth. All electronic systems function as designed. Outside of some wear on the driver's seat, the car is in mint condition. - I'm selling it because I don't really want/need a car but felt this was too good to pass up when it came across my path. I've enjoyed it, even taken it skiing, all over the 95 corridor, cross-country, but don't really have time to deal with car ownership in NYC. - Only 123,000 original miles, mostly highway. - Four brand new shocks as well as four brand new, high performance tires. - The body and interior are in good to excellent condition with minor wear here and there. - Kelly BB is $5,600. - Please look at CarFax to see maintenance record. All scheduled maintenance and service has been performed by Jaguar. **Will have it fully detailed prior to delivery** **Free Delivery to NYC Metro Area** Arrangements can be made for delivery outside of NYC Metro. Serious inquiries only. |

Watch the trailer for Jaguar's short film staring the F-Type and Damian Lewis
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Jaguar continues to think well outside of the box when it comes to marketing it's new F-Type, now furthering plans for a short film which highlights the sexy roadster. Desire, featuring Damian Lewis (star of the hit series Homeland), Jordi Mollà (unforgettable in Bad Boys II) and Shannyn Sossamon (that girl you had a crush on for like a month in 2002 after you rented A Knight's Tale), Jaguar is clearly pulling out all the stops for this one. Well, nearly all the stops anyway - the "Ridley Scott Associates" billing isn't quite the same has having the man himself, if we're splitting hairs.
The short video below is still just a trailer for Desire - the full film will make its debut sometime in April, we're told. The sketched out plotlines tell us that Lewis' character Clark, "...delivers cars for a living, running into trouble after a chance encounter with a mysterious, young woman (Sossamon) in the middle of a lawless desert." The car looks good, at any rate.
Call us crazy, but the Desire trailer feels an awful lot like a spoof on the cool-but-overly-serious short films that BMW has done in this vein, already. Maybe we're just being cynical? Tell us what you think in comments after watching the clip.
Jaguar XE promises to net 'over 75 mpg,' just not for us [w/video]
Tue, 29 Jul 2014With around a month away from its world debut on September 8, Jaguar continues to issue a constant drip of updates about its upcoming XE compact luxury sedan that's aiming to take on the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Where the company's last bit of info focused on the car's suspension setup, this time Jag's putting the spotlight on the new model's modular platform and making some big promises about it, too. How big? Try over 75 miles per gallon big.
That's the headline figure that Jaguar is claiming for its new sedan, but it's keeping mum on just what powertrain will realize that figure. Furthermore, that result is on the European test cycle, which is more lenient than America's EPA testing regime. In any case, when the XE hits the road, Jag says it will be the most efficient vehicle from the company, ever.
That's thanks in no small part to the aluminum-intensive monocoque chassis underpinning the sedan. It's constructed from a new grade of the lightweight metal called RC 5754 that uses a high portion of recycled material. "The Jaguar XE body uses over 75-percent aluminum content, which far exceeds any other car in its class. This gives us a body structure with unrivaled low weight: it's light but also immensely strong with extremely high levels of torsional stiffness," said Dr. Mark White, Jaguar Chief Technical Specialist; Body Complete.
Lightweight E-Type to show historic side of Jaguar Special Operations in Monterey
Mon, 11 Aug 2014Jaguar has made a lot of great vehicles over the years, but as far as historians are concerned, it still very much lives in the shadow of the original E-Type, small as it was. In its image, Jaguar has made two generations of XK and the new F-Type, but what we have here is the most faithful continuation of the E-Type heritage yet.
Alongside the Range Rover Sport SVR and the F-Type Project 7 (making its US debut), Jaguar Land Rover and its new Special Operations division will roll into Pebble Beach this year with the continuation Lightweight E-Type. Of the 72,500 E-Types which Jaguar built between 1961 and 1975, only a dozen were Lightweight versions, and they remain the most coveted E-Types of all. It originally planned on building 18 examples, though, and five decades later, it's now committed to completing that original production run in faithful detail.
The Lightweight E-Type was based on the standard roadster and was homologated as such, just with some key upgrades to make it lighter and faster. The biggest change, of course, was the lightweight aluminum bodywork that cut 205 pounds off the curb weight. To replicate it, Jaguar took the last example (the only one made in 1964 after the original eleven were made in '63), scanned half its body surface, mirrored it to ensure symmetry and set about reproducing it with the same standard of materials available in the Sixties (and resisting the urge to go with more modern grades of aluminum). 75 percent of the 230 components are made in-house, with the largest stampings outsourced and built on machinery built to Jaguar's specifications off-site.
