This 1986 XJ is offered for sale with NO RESERVE. MY WIFE HAS DEMANDED ITS SALE AND SO IT MUST GO. I originally bought this XJ6 on Ebay back in the summer of 2006 from a Northern California seller. At that time, the seller claimed in the listing to have a relationship with a Jaguar dealer and that this vehicle was one of the last of this body style imported and sold. I have no way of knowing if that was true. When I bought the car, it had 181,371 miles on it. It was drive-able and was in generally good physical condition, but after many miles I knew it needed work.

I immediately had the ball joints, tie rods, steering rack, sway bars, and shocks replaced. I then replaced all the brake components, Then came the catalytic converters and the exhaust. That was all on the first bill, just short of 10k. I Would later have the electrical system replaced, and the engine rebuilt, radiator replaced,and of course every belt and tube, all by the same mechanic. Furthermore, 2 of the tires are brand new, the 2 others are fairly new.

That was the small money.

In the fall of 06, I brought the car to UNIQUE AUTO SPORTS. They are not on Long Island any more, but you may know them from the TV Show "Unique Whips". They did a full body restoration and paint job. That is why you don't see any rust in any photo. They also did a full interior restoration. This included reupholstering the leather seating, and replacing all door and dash wood. That is why the interior looks so good. The wood steering wheel you see is a fairly new addition and was never redone, however it is an authentic to this model Jaguar xj6 wheel. I have the original leather one as well. The money spent on this was more than all the mechanical work combined.

Alas, in the six plus years I have owned the car, I have put less than 4000 miles on it. The Pictures you see are taken at the Inn at Great Neck Hotel, the garage of which is the cars home.The Mechanic is across the street, (Richie at Great Neck Super Service) It does not go out in bad weather, ever.

Regardless of the work, being 27 years old, the car is being sold as is where is, but I welcome all inspections and test drives. In fact, if you come out to see or pick up the car, based on availability, I will comp your stay. I have nothing to hide, and if you bring temporary plates I see no reason the car couldn't be driven home to where ever you live.

Just about everything works, AC and Heat. I also put in a Sony head unit with CD and a line in. I never replaced the rear speaker but think they work, however they send a meaningless error message to the head unit. The windows work, but are some times slow. The interior lights work, the high beams at night work. the low beans don't, but the highs are not bright enough to be an issue, and I think its just the bulb. the cigarette lighter power doesn't work, and some times when unlocking the whole car, one of the doors doesn't unlock, but it usually does.

The car drives as it should.

Its good to be a little handy when you own this type of car, and to save on repair costs I have a parts car that is included in the sale, but it must be towed and can not be driven.

Please don't be afraid to ask questions or come and inspect, but only bid if you have a good track record and are serious, because with no reserve, if you win it, you win it.

Good luck and thanks for looking.

Jaguar could yet offer more hardcore F-Type R-S

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Jaguar pulled a fast one on us all when it unexpectedly shoehorned all 550 horsepower of the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XKR-S into the new F-Type Coupe to supersede the existing V8 S model with the F-Type R. But that's just the beginning, according to the latest intel coming from the UK.
According to Autocar, in speaking to Jaguar design director Ian Callum during the coupe's unveiling at the LA Auto Show, the British automaker could yet offer R-S and R-S GT versions of the F-Type. Just what mechanical changes those would bring when the F-Type R already packs the company's top engine remains to be seen, but given that the same engine also powers the flagship XJR performance saloon, we could envision Jaguar developing an even more powerful version for R-S versions of the little coupe and big sedan.
The GT version, meanwhile, would likely offer more extreme aero and a lighter form for the truly performance-obsessed. Considering that the new top-of-the-line F-Type is already pushing the hundred-grand mark, you can bet any R-S and R-S GT version would approach double the base F-Type's $65k sticker price.

This mule is the first evidence Jaguar is working on a 3 Series fighter

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Rumors of an entry-level, BMW 3 Series-fighting Jaguar sedan have been floating around for quite some time, but thanks to our intrepid spy photographers, we now have visible proof that such a model is, in fact, in the works.
Despite this tester's XF fittings, it's clear that what lies beneath is an entirely different beast. The doors have been shortened, roofline adjusted, rear deck lopped off and exhaust replaced, giving us a better idea of the new sedan's smaller dimensions and details. The new Jag, which may be dubbed "XS," is expected to ride on Jaguar's PLA (Premium Lightweight Architecture) platform, touting weight-saving materials that should do a lot to keep overall heft to a minimum. Both turbocharged four- and supercharged six-cylinder powertrains are expected to be on tap.
Codenamed X760, the new small sedan will reportedly hit the market in 2015. Earlier reports have indicated that a new crossover - Jag's first ever - riding on the same platform will arrive shortly thereafter, so that suggests that the platform will be fitted with all-wheel drive as well.

Jaguar names its 3 Series-fighter XE, packs it with Ingenium engines

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Jaguar is committed to emerging from the fringes of the luxury car market and into the mainstream. Just take a look at where it was a couple of decades ago and where it is now: In the 1980s, it had essentially two product lines, the XJ sedan and XJ-S coupe/convertible), and now it's got the XK coupe and convertible, the XJ sedan, the XF sedan and wagon and the F-Type coupe and roadster. But it's not about to stop there.
Coventry knows that if it's going to take on the German and Japanese heavyweights, it's going to need a compact sports sedan, and it's not about to repeat the mistake that was the X-Type. To that end, it's long been rumored to be developing a rival to the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class - it just hasn't given us much to go on. But that changes right here and now.
At the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has confirmed the imminent arrival of its new sports sedan, and along with the teaser image above, has given us some juicy details. For one, it'll be called the XE - fitting nicely alongside its big brothers the XF and XJ in Jaguar's growing sedan lineup. For another, it'll hit markets overseas in 2015 and arrive here in the United States in 2016.
