1989 Jaguar Xj6 Vanden Plas 3.6l - Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Boulder, Colorado, United States
Selling a very nice 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas. The car is generally in good condition- has 127K miles. The jag has been parked for the past year - it should have a thorough inspection, fluids flushed, etc. and I'm confident it will come back to life nicely. The body is very straight, accident free, with no rust. Power windows and door locks work fine. The original black paint is in good condition - before photos show condition when pulled our of garage. After photos show condition after wash and light buff. Windshield is in great shape. Mechanically the car is also sound. Despite not being driven for the past year, it still starts right up and drives very well. I just put a new battery in as the old one had lost its charge. The in line 6 engine appears strong and runs smooth when warm or at running rpm. Car surges and stumbles a bit at idle. I suspect a function of bad gas + sitting. We have seen some coolant leakage after driving and heating up the car to operating temp. I suspect a cracked radiator hose - does not appear to overheat (have not driven long durations/ distances over 15 miles), only leaks occasionally under pressure when system is full. Dash computer/indicator shows "coolant low" indicator as well as "open circuit". Radio, HVAC, and sunroof have recently stopped working. Everything was working when I replaced the sunroof switch- then the sunroof, A/C, and radio stopped functioning, although the radio still shows the time. I don't have time to sort it right now- just looking to let it go. This will be a nice car for someone who puts a little time and elbow grease into it. I believe it is priced to sell - very low reserve set. Clean Colorado title in hand. Will assist with any shipping service but that is buyers responsibility. Sold as-is. |

Jaguar XJ220 hooned remotely by a kid
Sat, 31 Aug 2013The Tax the Rich crew has a knack for indulging in automotive fantasies and capturing it all on video, such as a tug-of-war battle between two Ferrari F50s, drifting a Ferrari Enzo on gravel roads and even powersliding a Rolls-Royce Phantom on a field of wet grass. This latest video features a Jaguar XJ220 and a kid with an iPad, who somehow is able to control the old supercar with the Apple product.
No, there's no app for that (yet), and we lied - the boy isn't actually controlling the car - but it sure is nice to see the XJ220 in all its turbocharged, six-cylinder glory doing donuts and sliding across a grassy field. It jolts us to see the old Jaguar - capable of 217 miles per hour and once described by Jeremy Clarkson as having no brakes and massive turbo lag - thrown about like a rally car, but then we never imagined anybody would abuse a Rolls-Royce like that either. We'll continue to leave the high-stakes antics to Tax the Rich - we're just glad somebody had the guts to behave so badly in such a valuable machine. What else were they made for?
Be sure to check out the video below, if you have a pulse.
Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe spotted testing
Thu, 09 May 2013The automotive world has been hot on fire with the Jaguar F-Type of late. We're still recovering from the excitement of driving Jaguar's new sports car for the first time, and recently we had a predictive look at a coupe version. As it turns out, those 'patent sketches' were just a warm up for the real deal F-Type Coupe, as this brand new set of spy images proves out.
Word from our shooter is that security around the F coupe was and is really tight. The photographer had to hide in the cargo area of his clandestine SUV, just to catch these few, not-perfectly-clear images (that odd color your see is window tint). Still, the photos are good enough to see that the rakish silhouette of the hardtop is going to do justice to the convertible. In fact, the new top seems to flow quite perfectly into the car's rear haunches.
Expect that the F-Type Coupe will share an engine lineup with the roadster, meaning both a naturally aspirated and a supercharged V6, as well as a V8 option. Hot R and R-S versions of the Jaguar coupe are a virtual lock, too, though how far down the product pipeline they are is unclear.
