Non-rust Xj6 *serviced & Maintained!* $20k In Receipts 4.2l Straight 6 Rare Find on 2040-cars
Southlake, Texas, United States
1972 JAGUAR XJ6 SEDAN 4.2L STRAIGHT SIX w/ 3-SPEED AUTOMATIC MAINTAINED & SERVICED | COLD A/C | SERVICE RECORDS | NO FRAME OR BODY RUST!
An extremely nice example of a Series-1 Saloon that has been lovingly cared for by the same owner for almost 30 years. This Jaguar was originally owned by the wife of the Edward Casner of Casner Jaguar in El Paso, Texas. It was then sold to Raul Carrillo, the Michelin Tire rep who serviced the Casner dealership. The current owner, Bob purchased it from Raul in 1985 and has owned it since! We are selling on behalf of Bob, the current owner (3rd owner). He has invested more than $20,000 in maintenance / service over the last 29 years. All actual records/receipts will be included with the sale. It has always been in Texas, has always been garaged, and is one of the rare vintage Jags with no rust.
Odometer History & Current Reading Current odometer reading is at 27,744 miles. Current owner purchased it with odometer showing approximately 9,000 miles. 2nd owner (Raul) had the speedometer cluster replaced sometime between 1975-1985, so true miles are actually unknown. It's a shame we don't know 100%, because it could be accurate or near accurate....but we cannot say for sure. Drivability Everything (power windows, A/C, radio/cassette) works except for the clock. This car could be a daily driver, a Sunday driver or a collector car. It runs very well and the transmission shifts like it did when it rolled out of the dealership the first time. Great running car. As far as the interior / exterior condition...see the 40+ photos below! It's in great condition. The entire car was repainted in 1989 to the original spec paint. Pretty enough to show, dependable enough to drive.
If you have any questions or want to know every single detail that was done in the past 30 years, don't hesitate to give me a buzz. Jeremy, eCARHOUSE. COM Dallas-Ft.Worth, Texas 817-421-3000

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar 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.
Here's what a front-row seat looked like in 2014 Mille Miglia
Tue, 26 Aug 2014From 1927 to 1957, the Mille Miglia was one of the great, romantic European road races of the golden era of motorsports. The cars were fast, beautiful and loud but also extremely dangerous and regularly claimed drivers' lives. After two fatal accidents in '57, the event finally had to reform and came back in 1977 as a historic rally held over the course of several days. That didn't make things boring, though, and Xcar found that out firsthand with a front-row seat to this year's race in a 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
Xcar was actually following the Jaguar team this year that included Ian Callum and Jay Leno in an XK120, which we previously got a glimpse of when it was covered on Jay Leno's Garage. Where Leno focuses on a more personal story of competing, this one takes a more macro view. You really get an idea of how crazy the Mille Miglia still is, and while the F-Type is way too new to actually compete in the rally, it can still wear an event sticker and drive with the vintage racers.
One amazing fact about today's Mille Miglia is that if you're competing in the event, there are basically no rules. The roads are technically still open to traffic, but the police shut down intersections and provide a rolling roadblock. Xcar's F-Type alternated between following on the course with the classics and snipping off chunks of the route to watch the participants arrive at each stop. Check out the video to experience fantastic historic rally.
