1986 Jaguar Xj6, Great Condition, 78,143 Miles on 2040-cars
Glastonbury, Connecticut, United States
|
Summary: the previous owner died, and the car was left in her garage for 14 years. As a result, it has low mileage and is in good condition. This car is my daily driver during the summer. It runs and drives quite well. A favorite with friends, family, and fellow enthusiasts.
Year: 1986 Make: Jaguar Model: XJ6 Mileage: 78,143 Engine: 4.2 liter inline 6 Transmission: 3-speed automatic Exterior: Light grey/metallic-blue Interior: Dark blue leather & wood Options: Sunroof, chrome wire wheels, power windows, AM/FM/MP3 radio, modern A/C coolant conversion I've owned this XJ6 since April 8, 2013. I bought it from an individual in Wethersfield, CT, just across the river. The woman who previously owned it passed away 14 years ago, and the car sat undriven in her garage until her elderly husband decided to sell it. I bought the car with a frozen odometer, showing 74,143 miles. I can't say for sure that was the actual mileage. The seller was not aware that the odometer was frozen. My theory is that it probably froze up at some point during the 14-year garaged period, but again, I can't say for sure. In any case, I would estimate that I've put between 3,000 and 4,000 miles on it since then, which is why I am listing it with 78,143 miles. I have done the following work on the car to restore it to it's origninal condition: - New exhaust (pipes, mufflers, resonators, all mounting hardware), stainless steel mufflers - New Michelin Defender 205/70R15 tires, balanced wheels - New radiator, coolant - Air Conditioning conversion to R134A (modern) coolant - New spark plugs, wires, ignition coil, distributor cap, and rotor - New cold start fuel injector, cleaned out all fuel injectors - Throttle body cleaning, idle tuning, timing adjustment - New coolant temp sensor, oxygen sensor, K&N air filter, fuel filter - New oil & filter, brake fluid, differential fluid - New front shock bushings, new right front shock absorber - New rear brake pads, headlamp bulbs, wiper blades - New BOSS Audio radio (takes iPod / mp3 input), two 10" subwoofers, 2000-Watt Pyle amp Engine is running great. The frame is very solid and mostly rust-free; it looks like it was spray-coated at some point before I bought it. The paint is in pretty good condition: no haze, but some small chips behind the tires. Chrome is nice all around, wire wheels are very eye-catching. The interior is also in good condition - wood, leather, and carpets look great. There are no stains whatsoever. This car has been washed, waxed, and vacuumed every other weekend for the entirety of my ownership. The car runs and drives great, and has the traditional "growler" engine sound and very smooth ride of a classic Jaguar. I can personally attest that this car is a great daily driver. Unfortunately I am at college and cannot bring the car with me, and so I would rather sell this car to an appreciative owner than keep it in storage while I'm gone. Comes with original radio, jack, lug wrench, and user manual. The previous owner passed all the car's documentation over to me along with the car. I have a 1-inch thick folder of work orders and receipts. There's also a picture of the car where it was garaged. I am selling the car for cash only, and I have a clean title. If you have any questions, let me know! Contact info: Bob Rudolph, (860) 338-7251 or bobrudolph53 (at) gmail (dot) com |

Jaguar confirms 575-hp F-Type Project 7 for Goodwood debut
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Two days ago, Jaguar announced it had something special in store for the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend. Then yesterday images of that special creation, the F-Type Project 7, leaked out. And now, as promised, Coventry has released the full details on the ultimate F-Type to date. And its even better than we expected.
The production version of the concept revealed last year, the F-Type Project 7 celebrates the 60th anniversary of the D-Type by borrowing some of that legendary roadster's design cues, right down to the rear fin and British Racing Green livery with white racing stripes.
Of course the Project 7 is more than just a retro appearance package. The bespoke speedster packs a version of Jaguar's prolific 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with 575 horsepower - 25 more than the F-Type R Coupe - to make it the Leaping Cat marque's most powerful production car to date. Mated to Coventry's familiar eight-speed automatic transmission, that's said to be enough to propel the Project 7 to 60 in 3.8 seconds en route to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour. Keeping all that power and pace in check and on the road are such features as carbon ceramic brakes, a full complement of carbon-fiber aero components, electronic differential and brake-based torque vectoring system.
Jaguar releases Desire short film starring F-Type and Damian Lewis
Wed, 24 Apr 2013After stoking the hype with a theatrical-style trailer, Jaguar has finally released the full-length version of its mini-movie, Desire, to help kick off the new 2014 Jaguar F-Type. Starring Homeland actor Damian Lewis across from the lovely Shannyn Sossamon, the film has been turned loose on YouTube after an initial debut at the Sundance London film and music festival.
Shot in Chile's rather breathtaking Atacama Desert, Desire is described by the producers as being "A story of betrayal, retribution, passion and greed." Lewis plays the lead role of Clark, a high-end car delivery guy (great work if you can get it), who runs into an unexpected, sexy mystery when shuttling the lovely F-Type to the middle of nowhere. Who could have guessed?
We won't spoil any of the not-exactly-serious 13-minute plot for you; scroll down below to see for yourself if the theatrical pomp and circumstance is worthy of Jag's newest roadster.
Jaguar gets to work on next-gen XF sedan
Mon, 22 Sep 2014With the XE now out in the open, Jaguar can begin to focus on what comes next. That means a new crossover, but also replacements for some of its aging current models - chief among them, the XF. Introduced back in 2007, Jaguar's mid-range sedan is growing a little long in the tooth. But from these latest spy shots, we can see that the British automaker is hard at work developing its successor.
Expected to be based on the same iQ A1 platform that underpins the new XE, the new XF promises to be lighter in weight and more advanced than the model it replaces. Look for most of the same engines to carry over, including gasoline and diesel options ranging from four cylinders to eight, with and without forced induction, with a potential plug-in hybrid version to follow. The current model is available in rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and in sedan and wagon body styles, and we'd expect its replacement to follow suit.
The low-profile wheels and dual exhaust pipes on one of the prototypes spotted suggests it would lie somewhere near the top of the range, while the second prototype packs taller sidewalls and a trailer hitch. It's hard to discern much esle from the spy shots, heavily camouflaged as they are, but as with the technology underneath, we'd expect styling to takes some cues from the smaller XE as well. Jaguar will, of course, need to tread the line between distinctive and understated if it's going to fend off the Maserati Ghibli and take a bigger slice of the pie away from the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the Lexus GS and Infiniti Q70, the Cadillac CTS and the upcoming new Volvo S90.
