1972 Jaguar XJ6 This is a three owner 1972 Jaguar
XJ6. The first owner was a military gentleman that purchased this car new in
England in June of 1972. The car has been in Colorado since 1973. On May 20,
2004 it was sold to a local man who owned it for the last 10 years. Interior -- The dash is in perfect condition. The wood package was upgraded by Madera Concepts to Carpathian Burled hardwood, which is the same type they use in Bentleys. This upgrade was almost $900, 20 years ago! The seats and door panels were recovered / customized in the early 90s. They are in near perfect condition and really stand out against the maroon paint. The carpet and mats are in great condition, with the exception of the driver’s area. There are no holds or ware spots, just discoloration – difficult to see because it is under the dash area. The entire inside has been steam cleaned. The car was upgraded with an aftermarket cruise control system, but I have never tried to use it. All of the glass is perfect and the windshield has new wiper blades. Body – The car was repainted in 1990 and you can tell from the pictures that this car has always been garaged. In my opinion, the paint is 8.5 out of 10. There are a few chips/dings on the passenger side and the driver’s side wheel well. All have been touched up and are barely noticeable. The paint has had a three stage clean-up which consists of compounding, polishing and waxing – it is very smooth and looks great. The previous owner pulled the car too far forward in his garage and bumped the lawnmower, so there is a dent in the nose just above the grill (see picture). All of the chrome appears to be original and is in good condition. I believe the exhaust was replaced during the engine conversion. The resonators are starting to gets holes in them, but they have been patched – the mufflers and the remainder of the exhaust is in good condition. There are no holes or rust in the bottom of the car. Included in the sale is a High-end California car cover that costs over $400. HVAC – At some point, the original owner had a larger AC unit installed
for the back passengers with a separate control. The vents are installed in the
rear deck lid area between the speakers. The system appears to still run off of
the old R-12 Freon (not R-134a) which has not been pressure tested to check for
leaks. I haven’t had the need for it since it doesn't get that hot in Colorado. Suspension/Tires -- The suspension is in great condition -- the
shocks are not brand new but still function well. The four tires on the car
have plenty of tread. The car also comes with two spare tires and the wheels
are in great condition. Spare Parts - this car comes with an
extensive amount of spare parts, including extra belts, wipers, CB, original XJ
letters, trunk trim (still in the original bag). I am also including the Haynes
repair manual, the factory repair manual and original factory service handbook
with case. The car also has a 2'x3' copy of the wiring diagram. I even have the
original sales brochure which comes with the car! **E-mail me for a link to Photobucket with 55 detailed photos. I'm sure there is something I’m forgetting, so please e-mail me with any questions. Thanks for looking! THERE IS NO

2014 Jaguar XFR-S super sedan is 550-HP worth of cool
Wed, 28 Nov 2012The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S was considered last year, teased last week and now has been totally let loose. The most powerful sedan the company has ever made and the newest addition to its line of R-S performance cars - following the XKR-S - and we'll be getting even fewer of them than we thought. 200 had been the rumored allotment for the US, but the official word now is that we'll see just 100.
Each XFR-S will use the same 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that powers the XKR-S, meaning a 40-horsepower and 41-pound-foot bump over the XFR for 550 hp and 502 lb-ft in total. Shifting through the adaptive, eight-speed ZF transmission gets it from standstill to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, but for all that, it gets the same gas mileage as the XFR, aided by its stop/start system, and so doesn't get hit with a gas guzzler tax.
Other XKR-S bits have made the jump, including an upgraded suspension front and rear, the near-straight pipes for the cracking exhaust note we drank up like ambrosia and twenty-inch, six-spoke lightweight wheels that are an inch wider than on the XFR. Lateral stiffness is up 30 percent, the electronic systems have been recalibrated to handle the extra oomph, throttle response has been sharpened and can be made even sharper by going into Dynamic Mode.
Jaguar to finish building six remaining Lightweight E-Types
Thu, 15 May 2014Back in February of 1963, Jaguar set about making a small run of lightweight E-Types. It recrafted the bodywork out of aluminum, shoehorned in a 3.8-liter straight-six with an aluminum block, stripped out the interior, removed the chrome trim and fitted lighter-weight side windows. The result was a 250-pound reduction in curb weight and a commensurate increase in performance, especially evident on the race track. The company originally set about building 18 examples, but only managed 12. The remaining six were allocated chassis numbers, but were never built. That is, until now.
Fifty years since the last of the original 12 lightweight E-Types were completed, Jaguar has announced that it is preparing to resume production and complete the final six examples. The company has assigned its top craftsmen to the job, who will build the half-dozen continuation Lightweights to the same exact specifications as the original dozen. Former sister-company and perennial arch-rival Aston Martin undertook a similar task (or at least authorized Zagato to do so) when it sanctioned four continuation examples of the original DB4 GT Zagato based on original chassis numbers in 1988, and another two based on original body shells and stock DB4 chassis in 1992.
Jaguar has not yet announced pricing and availability for the continuation Lightweights, but the first old-is-new example is set to debut this summer, whereupon Coventry will release further details. You can bet, though, that each one will be snapped up rather quick at just about any price the British automaker cares to put on them.
Jaguar details new Ingenium four-cylinder engines [w/video]
Mon, 29 Sep 2014When Jaguar lifted the veil on its new XE sports sedan earlier this month, it only revealed details on one engine - that being the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 in the flagship XE S. But we already knew that the British automaker's new entry-level model will offer many other powertrain options, and now it has revealed a little more.
Jaguar has been developing a new family of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines it calls Ingenium, which will be offered in a wide array of configurations and specifications. In advance of its debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, the Leaping Cat marque has announced the specifications of the two diesel versions. The first will offer 161 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and some of the best environmental credentials on the market. There will also be a more potent version with 177 hp and 317 lb-ft, which Jaguar says is "one of the highest torque outputs in the class." Either way, both versions feature variable exhaust valve timing, cooled low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation and selective catalytic reduction technologies to help meet the stringent Euro 6 standards.
That's all well and fine, but considering that Jaguar doesn't offer diesels in North America, the chances of these oil-burners making their way Stateside seem slim. But if you watch the video below, you'll also find basic specs on their gasoline counterparts as well. Like the diesels, they're turbocharged and displace 2.0 liters, but in petrol form, they offer 197 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque, or 236 hp and 250 lb-ft.
