Great XJ6 restoration project. The early XJ's had all the lines that made Jaguar a marque. These cars came along before British Leyland and Ford influences. I have the car running nicely. It has not been on the road for a few years but I drained the old gas, flushed out the tank and cleaned the carbs. It starts and runs nicely. It was taken off the road due to a leak in the exhaust manifold where the downpipe attaches to the exhaust manifold. Not overly loud but enough to warrant a new gasket on one side, or tightening. The engine runs very nicely. It was tuned just prior to taking off the road. I rescued the car from a local man that was third owner and had lost interest in the car. I don't see why it can't be put put back on the road and a driving restoration take place. It will need painting, a headliner, a rubber for the front overrider, or a pair of earlier overriders would be nice, the centre of the rear bumper could use replating. The seats are worn in and comfortable. I see new leather seat covers on ebay at $280.00 for the fronts and the same for the back. The back seat has a crack and some of the seams are separating on the top. One of the horn rads is missing as is the right side sun visor. These small bits are easily found. The factory air cleaner comes with the car. I took it off to clean the carbs.
The tires are new, still having the paper on the treads and tags on the sidewall. They are Michelin. The gearbox seems to shift smoothly. I have not taken it down the road, only driving it around in our driveway. The brakes feel good. Radio works. The previous owner was driving the car prior to the exhaust manifold leak. All the lights and all gauges work, but not certain about the fuel gauge. I replaced the dual tank switch, but not enough gas in the tank to test it.
I don't see any rusting out. Surface rust in spots and on the roof but this can be addressed with painting. A good driving project at a very affordable price. No reserve auction.

Jaguar testing facelifted XJ in UK
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Europe's flagship luxury sedans don't go through their lifecycles quite as quickly as other models need to, but with the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class hitting the road, Jaguar must feel it's time for a little update for its XJ sedan. And as these spy shots demonstrate, that's just what it has in store.
Falling firmly in the subtle-facelift category (as opposed to the full refresh), the placement of the camouflage on this new XJ appears to be hiding new fascias front and rear. Reshaped bumpers, trunk lid, grille and air apertures seem to be part of the impending facelift, but for better or worse, those black rear pillars seem to be staying put.
While Jaguar's at it, we can expect some updates to the cabin as well, with upgraded infotainment, ambient lighting and such. But don't go expecting anything radical at this stage. The XJ has been on the market for about four years, and it'll be another few before it demands a complete overhaul.
Jaguar F-Type Project 7 arrives Stateside for $135k*
Thu, 14 Aug 2014There are a great many things we love about the Jaguar F-Type, but one of them is that, whatever price point you're looking at, there's an F-Type for you. (Well, not any price point... this is a Jag we're talking about, but pricing varies greatly.) Got $65k to spend? That'll get you into a base F-Type V6 coupe, and you'll likely be happy for it. Eighty grand will get you into an F-Type V6 S, $90k into a V8 S roadster, and a cool hundred grand will get you the top-of-the-line F-Type R coupe. But what if you want to spend more than that? What if you've got more like $165,000 in your pocket and it's burning a hole when it should be burning rubber?
Well we've got good news for you, friend, because that's exactly how much the exclusive F-Type Project 7 will set you back. Making its US debut during Monterey car week, Jaguar has announced that the most exclusive version of its two-seat sports car - revealed in production spec just recently at the Goodwood Festival of Speed - will cost $165k in the US (plus the standard $925 delivery charge). That's roughly the price of an F-Type R and a base F-Type V6.
For all that scratch, you get an open-top roadster with 575 horsepower on tap - more than any production road car Jaguar has ever made before, and that includes the XJ220 and ultra-rare XJR-15 supercars. The most potent version yet of Jaguar's ubiquitous and long-serving 5.0-liter supercharged V8 is enough to send Project 7 to 60 in 3.8 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour.
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.
