I am offering for sale My 1985 Series III Jaguar XJ6


If you are looking at this ad, then I am sure you are quite familiar with this car and know that 1985 was one of the best years for these Series III jag.  I took this into consideration when I purchased her a little over 3 yrs ago.  She was well maintained by the previous owner and myself.  I have service records that will go along with the car as well as all manuals and many extra parts that I have collected over the years.  For those of you who do not know, every series III imported for the US market came out of the factory without a "leaper" on the hood.  Most american dealerships added the "leaper" to increase sales.  Mine remains untouched and original.

This isn't a low mileage example that has been sitting in a garage its whole life, un-used and with alot of expensive maintenance creeping up.  My car is a driver, all required maintenance has been done, it is a daily driver that can take long trips, doesn't make funny noises, no leaks and no suprises here, mechanically very sound and strong.

Cosmetically, she is a beauty!  I get compliments everywhere I go, you just do not see them as clean as this one, and you just don't see them on the road any more.  I love driving her on the weekends and I love the attention I get, so will you!

She has the original paint, I have taken pictures to point out the flays that exist.  2 spots of rust that are starting to bubble, 2 dimples on the driver side fender and a paint chip on the passenger side.  None of these take away from her beauty and is by far still one of the best examples (i believe) here in the north east.

As far as the interior goes, everything is there, everything is original.  The seats have held up pretty well and are still soft and supple unlike the hard dried up ones that do not get the garage life they deserve.  The seats aren't perfect, they have age lines that show, again nothing structural.  The wood is very nice, nicest I have seen around these parts, again from being garaged its entire life.  This leads me to the reason I am selling.  I have lost my garage and instead of having her sit outside, I have decided that it is time to move on and let her go to a good home.

The radio unit went out on me soon after I purchased her, I had it professionally removed and attempted to have it rebuilt by a professional who did not live up to expectation and damaged it.  I was a little disappointed, didn't want to put a newer radio in there and damage the console, so I left it alone, the new owner can hunt down a OEM radio online and fit it in, I actually got used to driving it without the radio.

All window motors work, including the roof.  However, the contacts on the moon roof switch needs to be cleaned a bit as sometimes you have to play with it a bit (press it more than once, very common).  Gas tank switch works as it should, tanks do not leak however sometimes the gauge for the left side tank will read full when it is actually not (not a major prob as it is intermittent).  I try to keep both tanks full anyhow.  Right side gauge reads correct.

People, this is not a showroom piece, it is a very attractive example and my price reflects that.  I am not selling for $10k-$12k like the low mileage mint ones.  I am sellling for less than $5k and willing to take offers from serious buyers.

If you are local and would like to see her in person or have a test-drive, I can be reached @ 973 280 5699.  I am available to answer any questions you may have.  If the winning buyer would like to fly in and drive her home, the nearest airport is Newark Liberty Int'l (EWR).  If you would like to have her shipped I will happily work with the shippers to coordinate pick-up.

Thank you for looking and good luck with your Offers !

Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker

Sat, 02 Aug 2014



There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.

Jaguar considering lightweight F-Type Club Sport?

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

In 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.

Jaguar reveals upcoming XE's InControl infotainment system [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Jaguar has been keeping busy lately, rolling out both the new Lightweight E-Type and F-Type Project 7 at Pebble Beach this past weekend. But the more important project for the British automaker is the upcoming new XE.
Coventry has been releasing a steady stream of information and teasers on its new 3 Series challenger, and has now revealed details of the new infotainment system that will debut in the XE. Called InControl, the system centers around an eight-inch touchscreen and integrates with smartphones (running both iOS and Android) through the InControl Remote and InControl Apps. The system will allow drivers to pre-set the climate control for each day of the week, lock and unlock the doors and start the engine remotely.
It'll also include an on-board wifi hotspot to connect multiple devices and a laser-based head-up display that you can scope out in the graphic above as well as the video and press release below in advance of the XE's upcoming debut in London on September 8.
