Glens Falls, New York, United States

 For auction is a 1981 Jaguar XJ6. I bought this car about a year ago and have driven it up to a month ago. Car all of a sudden quit. The car had been running very nicely previously. I have tried to figure out the issue with no luck. Have replaced numerous relays and fuel pump. Cleaned grounds, electrical connections to no avail and replaced coil.. Car has fuel and spark. Power to the injectors, but doesn't seem to be activating injectors.  Car starts briefly with ether. I am at my wits end with it and have spent enough time and money. Any mechanical suggestions would be welcome.  I truly believe it is something relatively simple, but if you're familiar with Jaguars, you know they can be difficult. I am letting it go for a fraction of my investment.  My loss is your gain. Car has current NYS inspection sticker. I have a clear title in hand. Car will have to be transported. I believe the car actually has 138k miles but does not show the digit on odometer.

The GOOD:

As stated the car ran well previously. No smoke or leaks. Transmission and drivetrain worked as they should. Brake are in good operating condition. Tires are matched Michelins with 50-60% tread.

Car's interior was redone previously. Upolstery is in very nice condition. Exterior paint has good finish.Accesories all work except stated below.

Done recently:

New Battery,Spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, fuel and air filters, resonators from the cats back, sway bar link and bushings.  I have maintenance folder from previous own, who owned car for years.  It's about an inch thick. This guy didn't overlook anything.

The NOT SO GOOD:

The car does not start as previously stated.

Odometer and speedometer are not working.

AC and cruise control are inoperable.

Paint has several small areas of bubbling. (pics) Passenger side floor pan is rusted through along rocker panel.  Undercarriage has surface rust but all functional. Spare tire well solid.

This is not a show car by any means, but was an excellent driver with potential to take it further if you chose.

If you have questions, ask before you bid. I will not ship outside of US. Buyer is responsible for transport. Car is sold AS-IS DO NOT bid if you have less than 5 feedback record or under 89% positive feedback. I will cancel your bid. DO NOT waste my time. I have tried to be honest in my description. My feedback rating is quite reputable.

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.

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.
