1985 Jaguar Xj6 Vanden Plas 69k Miles No Reserve on 2040-cars
Gurnee, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1985 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas Series 3. This is the top of the line XJ 6 available in 1985. The best thing about the car is the extremely low mileage for a car of its age. This car has only 69,000 miles on it. The car is a great driver. I would say that the condition of the car is good. It still rides like a jag should. The engine is Jaguar's legendary 4.2 liter straight 6 that was used in the E-type and it runs just a smooth as when it was new. It also features a cream leather interior that is in fair shape also. This car will be good for someone who is looking for a good honest driver. This car is 30 years old so it should be expected to have a few little quirks. There is some rust on the car that can be expected for something of this age. It is localized to the wheel well area. The underside of the car is solid. Also, right now the power antenna is not working, the hood latches need to be adjusted, and the exhaust is a little leaky. The only item that would need attention right away would be the brakes. The pedal on the car is squishy. It can still be driven and still stops but it only has about 40% of the braking power that it should. Other then those few things, all of the gauges work, all windows work, all of the lights work. The engine is in great shape and starts up right away. I have never had any major issues with it. The transmission also shifts buttery smooth. The suspension is very smooth too. The shocks are not blown or anything like that. The only thing that would limit this car from doing a cross country trip would be the brakes.
Thank you for looking. If you have any questions feel free to ask. |

Chris Harris finds the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe rather drifty
Wed, 26 Mar 2014Our own Matt Davis may have called the new Jaguar F-Type R Coupe "one heady rascal," but our review was disappointingly short on drifting, tire smoke and general, English shenanigans. You know, the sort of things that Chris Harris from Drive excels at.
Actually, relative to Harris' other reviews, this one is rather serious. There's a good recap of the F-Type on the road, with Harris referencing the car's "great bottom" and "amazing ass," quite frequently. Surprisingly, Harris says the more powerful F-Type R is just "incrementally" faster than the 495-horsepower F-Type V8 S Convertible. Following the on-road portion, it's off to the track. You can probably predict what goes on there. Overall, aside from some quibbles, Harris has nothing but praise for the newest cat.

Jaguar considering lightweight F-Type Club Sport?
Wed, 02 Apr 2014In the market for a Jaguar F-Type? Then let us commend you, first of all, on your good taste. But you've got a difficult decision ahead of you: Do you go for the power of the V8 or the lighter weight of the V6? It's a tough call, even if the ~$30k range in price from the entry model to the flagship doesn't phase you.
Well, to make the decision easier (or potentially more difficult), Jaguar is said to be looking into yet another tempting option: that of a lightweight Club Sport model. Tipped to be based on the coupe (and not the heavier roadster), the F-Type Club Sport would allegedly shed a good 400 pounds or so off the curb weight, not so much through the removal of one component or another but through a "holistic" approach that would call on all aspects of the car to play their part in ditching excess weight. That could mean everything from carbon-fiber body panels to a stripped-out interior denuded of sound-deadening materials and creature comforts, says Auto Express.
In developing the rumored F-Type Club Sport, Jaguar is apparently facing a similar dilemma to what buyers are pondering: will it base the track-focused model on the top-of-the-line F-Type R, with its 5.0-liter supercharged V8 driving 542 horsepower to the rear set of lighweight alloys but weighing down the schnoz? Or should it try to get more power out of the lighter 3.0-liter supercharged V6, which currently nets 340 hp in base form and 380 in S spec? Let Jag know what you'd do by leaving your thoughts in Comments.
