1985 Jaguar Xj6 Vanden Plas 69k Miles No Reserve on 2040-cars
Gurnee, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1985 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas Series 3. This is the top of the line XJ 6 available in 1985. The best thing about the car is the extremely low mileage for a car of its age. This car has only 69,000 miles on it. The car is a great driver. I would say that the condition of the car is good. It still rides like a jag should. The engine is Jaguar's legendary 4.2 liter straight 6 that was used in the E-type and it runs just a smooth as when it was new. It also features a cream leather interior that is in fair shape also. This car will be good for someone who is looking for a good honest driver. This car is 30 years old so it should be expected to have a few little quirks. There is some rust on the car that can be expected for something of this age. It is localized to the wheel well area. The underside of the car is solid. Also, right now the power antenna is not working, the hood latches need to be adjusted, and the exhaust is a little leaky. The only item that would need attention right away would be the brakes. The pedal on the car is squishy. It can still be driven and still stops but it only has about 40% of the braking power that it should. Other then those few things, all of the gauges work, all windows work, all of the lights work. The engine is in great shape and starts up right away. I have never had any major issues with it. The transmission also shifts buttery smooth. The suspension is very smooth too. The shocks are not blown or anything like that. The only thing that would limit this car from doing a cross country trip would be the brakes.
Thank you for looking. If you have any questions feel free to ask. |

Jaguar F-Type 'Design Study' headed to Goodwood
Mon, 08 Jul 2013With the Goodwood Festival of Speed taking place this weekend, Jaguar has announced it will be there with its new trio of R models as well as a design study version of the hot new F-Type sports car. While we've already seen the XFR-S last year at the LA Auto Show and the XJR and XKR-S GT at the New York Auto Show, the F-Type design study has our attention.
Based on our recent sighting of a fixed-roof F-Type being tested in full camouflage, this could mean that we'll finally get to see a sexy F-Type Coupe in near-production form. Of course, with all of the other R branded models on display, Jaguar could also unveil a sporty new R - or maybe even an RS - F-Type roadster. Whatever is planned, it will not be a static display - Jaguar says the design study car will be in action, making the fabled run up Goodwood Hill with chief engineer Mike Cross at the wheel. Scroll down for more information about what Jaguar has planned for Goodwood.
Watch the trailer for Jaguar's short film staring the F-Type and Damian Lewis
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Jaguar continues to think well outside of the box when it comes to marketing it's new F-Type, now furthering plans for a short film which highlights the sexy roadster. Desire, featuring Damian Lewis (star of the hit series Homeland), Jordi Mollà (unforgettable in Bad Boys II) and Shannyn Sossamon (that girl you had a crush on for like a month in 2002 after you rented A Knight's Tale), Jaguar is clearly pulling out all the stops for this one. Well, nearly all the stops anyway - the "Ridley Scott Associates" billing isn't quite the same has having the man himself, if we're splitting hairs.
The short video below is still just a trailer for Desire - the full film will make its debut sometime in April, we're told. The sketched out plotlines tell us that Lewis' character Clark, "...delivers cars for a living, running into trouble after a chance encounter with a mysterious, young woman (Sossamon) in the middle of a lawless desert." The car looks good, at any rate.
Call us crazy, but the Desire trailer feels an awful lot like a spoof on the cool-but-overly-serious short films that BMW has done in this vein, already. Maybe we're just being cynical? Tell us what you think in comments after watching the clip.
Jaguar's XFR-S Sportbrake looks to be one hot kinschlepper
Tue, 23 Jul 2013This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, which is too cool for North American sale (the Sportbrake, not the XFR-S sedan, which we're getting soon). Like the XFR-S four-door, it has a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 pumping out around 550 horsepower.
Our spy photographer's x-ray vision is saying that a ZF eight-speed automatic will be the gearbox of choice for the XFR-S wagon, which fits with the sedan, as well. The Sportbrake also has the usual high-performance touches, with huge air intakes in the front fascia, big wheels wrapped in low-profile tires, a dropped suspension and a rear end that's wearing a diffuser and a pair of meaty, quad exhausts. We're happy to see that the XFR-S Sedan's rear spoiler - or some iteration thereof - isn't here to mangle the Sportbrake's beautiful shape.
Where the this super-fast hauler will debut remains a question. There's virtually zero chance of it arriving at an American auto show (although we do endorse that, and any other decision that brings this wagon to our shores), which likely means it'll be in Europe. The Frankfurt Motor Show and Geneva Motor Show seem like the leading contenders, but we'll just have to wait and see.
