Finally,  vehicle is BACK UP FOR SALE !  I am selling for a friend.
Earlier I stopped the auction because owner didn't have title.  Since car is registered and owned in the State of Maine,  they DO NOT ISSUE a title for any car older than 1995.

This 1987 Jaguar XJ6 will come with a BILL OF SALE ,  CURRENT MAINE REGISTRATION ,  and a letter from the State of Maine to give to the division of motor vehicles and title and register in YOUR STATE.

Now,  The car-

This car is owned by a Florida snowbird.   They sold their Florida home and no longer have need for the car.     The car has not had much use in the last few years.   Needs to be driven more and enjoyed again !

THEIR LOSS ,  YOUR GAIN !  SOLD TO FIRST COME FIRST SERVE !     I can not store car any longer !   MAKE AN OFFER,   but PLEASE don't insult me..

I've been in possession of the car for a few weeks now.   Here are the things I noticed wrong with the car. But please keep in mind I am NO EXPERT,  and I know nothing about Jaguars..


FIRST,  THE NOT SO GOOD:

-Car idles rough when first started,  for about 20 seconds.  Then it runs perfect.
       I wiggled some plug wires when it was idling rough,  and it seemed to change the rough idle.   My guess is it needs a new distributor cap and wires.

-While in car and idling,  I could hear a faint tapping I thought was coming from engine or passenger side.  I traced it to the actual fuel rail and line going to back of car.  When I grabbed the line behind rear tire,  I could actually feel it tapping in my hand.   So the tapping must be the fuel pump ?

-A/C does not get cold.    I checked fuses and the basics,  and all seems fine.  Owner said it worked last summer.  Possibly lost a charge due to it sitting.  Not sure.    Blower and controls work fine.

-Car has 2 gas tanks.   1 sending unit for gas gauge does not work (passenger side tank).  The gas tank works and all,   but you can't tell if its full or empty.  I went to fill the tank thinking it was empty,  and its full.   Guess it would make a good backup tank :)

-Oil pressure gauge on dash doesn't show a reading.   Either the gauge is bad,  or a bad sending unit.

-Exterior :  Car has good paint,  but not great.   There is a noticeable clearcoat issue on hood (SEE PICS).  Right above rear passenger tire,  there is a small ding.    Normal paint chips here and there for this age car.  Some areas of clearcoat have a 'webbing' or hairline scratching.

-Interior :  front floor mats need replaced.   Some light cracking in faux wood on dash. Front seats not ripped but have some stitching missing and show wear

NOW THE GOOD !:
-Exterior-  All chrome parts are near perfect condition.     All windows work 100% .  Sunroof opens as should.   Exterior motorized radio antenna works 100%.  hood and trunk work 100%.  Doors shut solid.

-Interior: Headliner had been replaced, still good. New upper dash.  Radio works (don't have a tape to test cassette tape deck).  All other knobs and buttons seem to work. Electric drivers seat works.

-Engine: Runs good.   No unusual noises from motor.  Transmission shifts smooth and the car rides down the road great. Has not used oil or left a spot in my driveway or garage either !    Hoses, brake lines, etc. are all in good shape.

-The car just, looks, good !!       I already have 3 vehicles.   I'd keep it myself but have no room !

-I have a lot of paperwork with the car.   Including a parts manual and service manual.  MANY service records and repair records  (probably all of them) since new,   even the original window sticker.

-according to paperwork,  It had new shocks,  A/C converted to new coolant, water pump, shocks, brakes and exhaust all have been done within the last 30k miles. 


Well,    that's all I got.    Please check out the 2 videos I took of the car running Below!

ALSO LISTED LOCALLY !     WILL NOT SHIP and MUST BE PICKED UP WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF AUCTION END !   

** SOLD AS IS CONDITION- NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED-    vehicle described to best of my knowledge **

Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl ad to feature F-Type Coupe

Sun, 10 Nov 2013

Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.

Take a trip down Jaguar's memory lane with Xcar

Sat, 19 Jul 2014

For decades, Jaguar has been a company of two minds. On one hand, there are its luxurious, British saloon cars. They might be quick, even sporty, but when it comes down to it, they usually put a focus on comfort and accommodations above all. On the other hand, Jag has its sports cars to really get its buyers' blood pumping. Think about it: the XJ might look pretty sweet, but you know deep down that you would rather take the F-Type for a spirited drive, reveling in its snorty exhaust note. In its latest video, Xcar Films takes us on a very enjoyable history lesson covering some of the Brit brand's most exciting models ever.
Xcar hits all of the highlights, starting with the often-overlooked C-Type from early '50s with its somewhat bulbous shape. Things then progress to the drop-dead gorgeous D-Type. The one in this video is actually the first ever made and therefore worth a fortune. Because of that, the host isn't really able to get too aggressive, but it's fantastic to get an idea of what it's like to experience being behind the wheel of this icon. Finally, it ends with a Series 1 E-Type. This was when the classic model was still something of a sports car; instead of the grand tourer that the E-Type became in its later days.
All three of these cars are legends in their own right, and maybe one day the F-Type could be too. Scroll down for a history lesson on some of Jaguar's best sports cars.
