1996 Jaguar Xj6 Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Perrysburg, Ohio, United States
|
Really nice Jaguar XJ6 finished in slate grey with chamois leather interior and a low 87,500 miles for its year. The whole car is in overall nice, clean and excellent presenting condition. The interior of this example is in impeccable condition with the burl walnut just wonderful. Only the door woods show some hairline marks but the dash, console and other trims are in impeccable condition. The Connolly hide leather seats are factory condition, soft and supple with no stains, wear marks or tears. They literally look like new (probably the most stunning feature of the car). There are no cracks in the dash or rear parcel shelf. The carpets and headliner are immaculately clean. The headliner is slightly drooping in the back (which is a common thing for Jaguars) and the centre console cup-holder is broken. Otherwise, the rest is all great. The interior truly is stunning, is like new and even smells "brand new". There is a small amount of paint bubbling on the rear wheel wells but no rust present.
Mechanically the car is very sound with near new tyres mounted on later model XJ wheels (from a 2000 Vanden Plas). This is the new generation straight, 4 liter straight 6 cylinder which was a vast improvement over the old engine in pre 1995 Jaguars. The car drives smooth, strong and quietly. Recent maintenance included a brake service with 4 new rotors/discs and pads all round, a general service and safety inspection. There are no warning lights on the dash and all is good to go. The climate control is working as it should but the A/C belt is currently removed because the idler pulley for the belt needs replacing ($75). The heater is nice and toasty. This is an immaculate Jaguar XJ-6 with good low miles and makes for an excellent everyday or weekend driver. It far exceeds average condition examples and comfortably rates as a virtual 8 or 9 out of 10 driver condition which earns it regular compliments |

Autocar compares new Maserati Quattroporte to Jaguar XJ
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe took the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte on a spin along snowy mountain roads to test it for a specific brief: as a limousine for the chauffeured class. It's sporting credentials are impressive: Twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8, 532 horsepower, 475 pound-feet of torque in casual circumstances that rises to 532 lb-ft in overboost, a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour sprint of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.
However, citing Maserati's desire to not just increase its sales to 50,000-per-annum by 2015, but to sell many more of its cars in China, Sutcliffe wanted to find out if the livery side of the Quattroporte could match its sport sedan side. So after taking the pilot's seat and trying out the sport settings, Sutcliffe hops in back to test out the CEO's seat.
Then he compares the Quattroporte against the long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ with its supercharged V8, a sedan that's 15,000 pounds less expensive than the Maserati. It doesn't take long for him to find that one of them is a clear winner when it comes to transporting VIPs. To find out which one, enjoy the video below.
Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
Entry-level Jaguar X-Type successor due in 2015, crossover a year later
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Jaguar's future product plans keep on slipping, slipping, slipping onto the internet, and the latest on it's entry-level luxury challenger is a 2015 due date. According to Automobile magazine, "most significant game-changer from Coventry" will be arriving on the same PLA platform that supports the Jaguar XJ and 2013 Range Rover. Kacher says the small sedan has already got the green light as codename X760, and will bow first as a four-door sedan, then as a crossover a year later.
This puts a date to a recent Autocar report that a small sedan and crossover were in the works. We've been getting reports of and concepts for a successor to the X-Type ever since Tata bought Jaguar - like the Bertone B99 concept last year, and this enthusiast concept more recently - since everyone knows it's what has to happen for "a new Jaguar" to succeed. We're looking forward to seeing what the English maker comes up with; if it remains true to form, it could be one of the few luxury competitors whose distinct model each look, well, truly distinct.
