Jaguar XJ6


You are bidding on one of the most unique Jaguars that you will ever come across.  This Jaguar XJ6 is a well maintained coupe.  It was completed in 1993 from a body off bare shell restoration. From there it has been driven about 2835 miles.  During the restoration there were no short cuts taken with the rusty metal cut outs and replaced with full sheet metal.  All surfaces were prepared using Dupont Corlar Zinc Rich epoxy primer, topped with Dupont 99 Black acrylic lacquer.  Body panels are die-straight and panel fit is much better than factory. The interior is the original leather, re-dyed with the original Leatherique in the original russet color.  The door panels and carpets are all new as well as the rubber seats throughout.  The vinyl top is an original NOS item.  All the chrome was new or re-plated. The European spec SII XJ bumpers and lighting really unclutter the exterior.  The driver can feel the difference in the handling over a North American spec car with the extra weight of the crash bumpers at the extremeties that are now absent.  Mechanically, literally everything was gone through.  Suspension assembles were completely restored and even the brake calipers were disassembled, zinc- dichromate plated, and reassembled with new kits and pistons.  All the brake lines are stainless steel.  The engine is a S1 E-type spec 4.2 with 8:1 compression, triple HD8's, Si E-type camshafts and vacuum advance distributor, having standard bore, new rings and bearings, and a 1970 E-type cylinder head.  The transmission is a John's Cars GM TH350 Quarterbreed kit.  Trans was rebuilt including a Transgo shift kit-very crisp.  Exhaust is a Falcon Stainless Steel setup.  Cylinder head casting number is FY836, located at the rear of the valley after the last plug hole.  Engine number is 8L18533-i, and is original to the car.  Body number is 5J1381, and vin is UF2J50247BW. The carburetor has been recently gone through with new floats, needle/seat assemblies, jet diaphragms and a setup. Fuel pumps were replaced about 7 years back with new Burlen Fuel System unts.  It has a well maintained interstate battery in it.  The only thing that is not absolutely 100% is the air conditioning, which still has the oringinaal R12, and blows cold but weak.  But who needs air conditioning when you take this flawless car out for a cruise with the windows down.

This car is available to view and inspect in Paradise Valley, Arizona.  The car is "sold as is" no warranty's are implied.  There is a $2,000 non-refundable deposit which must be paid at end of auction. The buyer assumes all responsibility for shipping and destination charges. Full payment must be received before the car is released. If there are any questions about the car please fill free to send an email.

2018 Jaguar F-Type gets four-cylinder turbo engine option

Wed, Apr 12 2017

At the 2017 New York Auto Show, Jaguar has revealed the final piece of the 2018 F-Type puzzle: a four-cylinder entry-level model. It rounds out an expanded lineup of F-Type variants that have all gotten a bit of a facelift and some additional content for 2018, which we told you about back in January. But the little four-cylinder is definitely the biggest surprise. Underhood is the state-of-the-art 2.0-liter, turbocharged, gasoline-fueled Ingenium engine, which is making its way into several Jaguar-Land Rover products for the first time in the 2018 model year. It has a full suite of contemporary technologies, like a variable-lift electrohydraulic valvetrain that eliminates the need for a traditional throttle, an integrated exhaust manifold, and a dual-scroll turbocharger. You might recall that the Ingenium gas engine is replacing an older 2.0-liter turbo four in the XE, and also will show up in the F-Pace and XF. Add the F-Type to this burgeoning list, and don't expect it to stop there. The Range Rover Velar has also been announced for the US with this engine. In the F-Type, the 2.0T makes 296 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, which is higher than some of the other applications for this engine in the US. There's only one powertrain arrangement for the 2.0T in the US – rear-wheel drive and backed up by an eight-speed automatic – but buyers will be able to choose from a coupe or convertible body style. Jaguar claims the 2018 F-Type will scoot to 60 mph in as little as 5.4 seconds. It's also the lightest F-Type, by a smidgen. The 2.0T coupe weighs 3,360 pounds, which is 95 pounds lighter than the next-lightest coupe, the 3,455-pound, 340-horsepower supercharged V6 coupe equipped with a manual (and 117 pounds lighter than that car with an automatic). There's probably a fuel-economy benefit in EPA testing as well, but Jaguar doesn't have EPA numbers yet, so stay tuned on that. Don't forget that the 400 Sport variant will join the 2.0T on the stand. It's a one-year-only special edition model with a supercharged V6 uprated to 400 hp, but sadly there's no manual version on offer.

Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.

Can a Jaguar XKR-S be drifted while blindfolded?

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

Bring together a 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S and a rain-soaked skidpad, and it's almost impossible to not end up in a sideways drift... accidental or on purpose. With that in mind, the gang over at Autocar got a hold of the monstrous XKR-S for the latest installment of "Will it Drift?," only they raised the stakes a little by attempting the feat with a blindfolded driver
We've driven the XKR-S a number of times here at Autoblog (including a First Drive, Review and Quick Spin), so we weren't at all surprised to learn that blind drifting in the car is possible. But what is remarkable is the ease at which it happened. This, of course, can be credited as much to the car as to the driver, Steve Sutcliffe. Check out the impressive video for yourself, which is posted after the jump.
