1986 Jaguar Xj6 on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
This is the Classic Series III Jaguar XJ6. The body styling is timeless, and has yet to be duplicated in the current models. I purchased this vehicle in 2011 at 99K miles, and am the fourth owner. At that time I invested in some extensive restoration, most of which is still holding up well. Since then I have put less than 10K miles on the vehicle, for a total of 107,135. The body is in very good condition, there are no serious dents/dings. There are a few very small scuffs on the rear passenger door. As can be seen in the photos, the paint is in good condition, however this model jaguar is not impervious to the elements. The hinge on the driver's door is broken. There are a few areas of rust. The interior is in very good condition, and although the wood in the interior is twenty five years old it is still in very good condition. The leather upholstery is mostly fine, but the stitching needs repair in some areas. The sunroof rubber seal and motor are in need of repair. There is a minor issue with the A/C. The tires are quite new with less than 1000 miles on them. The brakes were serviced less than 9000 miles ago; this is a key item as the rear differential must be dismounted to replace the rear brakes. Mechanically this vehicle is sound. It has always passed the smog test with flying colors. Properly restored a vehicle of this type is still quite valuable. I however do not have the time to continue the restoration. It is with some regret that I am offering this Jaguar for sale. I hope that someone who can get it back into proper shape will be looking at this. Thanks for looking.

Jaguar buys world's largest collection of British cars
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Whether you're looking at Bertone going bankrupt or Spyker facing (and subsequently resolving) a large tax bill, it's saddening to see an automaker having to sell off its factory collection. That's why we're glad to report that there are still some acquiring historic vehicles from their pasts. Like Jaguar, which has just bought the largest private collection of classic British cars in the world.
The collection of 543 cars was painstakingly assembled by one James Hull, a British dentist with some 50 dental clinics to his name across the UK and who was keen to find the right buyer to take possession of his life's work and preserve it for years to come.
Of those 543 cars, the majority are of British origin, including over 130 Jaguars. The collection includes seven XK120s, several C- and D-Types, a rare XKSS, eight E-Types, thirty Mark-series Jaguar sedans, nineteen XJS coupes and convertibles, some twenty XJ sedans as well as some pre-war SS models and Swallow sidecars and coachbuilt specials from the company's early days. Among the many noteworthy examples are a rare SS100, an alloy-bodied XK120 and an MK X owned by company founder Sir William Lyons himself, as well as Winston Churchill's Austin, Elton John's Bentley, and racing driver and motorcycle rider Mike Hailwood's E-Type.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
