 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas
Black on Magnolia Connolly Leather
3.6 liter Jaguar engine
premium original condition

This low mileage 89 is in excellent, clean condition...I have not seen a better black 1989 VDP.  It has been a 2nd car, not driven in rain, garaged and kept freshly waxed, only being driven for pleasure.  The car runs very smooth, reliable and shifts like it should.  The interior is amazing - like new and supple, built when Jaguar was putting the highest quality leather from Connolly Leather in it's cars.  All electronics, including the climate control and digital dash are working perfectly.  There is a custom fitted car cover, and the car has been upgraded to later 17" XK Jaguar wheels to give it a little more attitude.  The 88/89 Vanden Plas' came with a more refined interior design, and the best burl wood veneers with boxwood inlays on every panel.  A couple of years ago I had a trusted paintless dent repair man remove the few dings the car had acquired over the years.  There is no body damage or rust anywhere, such as around the rear window or behind/on the wheel arches. 

Some valuable repair items that have been corrected in the last 3 years include:

  • Rear differential output shaft bearings rebuilt and replaced
  • Both rear door lock motors replaced
  • A/C on/off micro-switch repaired
  • A/C freon charged
  • Right blower motor repaired
  • New power steering reservoir to pump hose
Faults:
  • The car just recently developed a slight noise in the right front wheel area when going over shallow bumps - I have not had it diagnosed but it sounds like a bushing needs to be replaced
  • Cassette tape deck not functional(it does however have a working 10 CD/MP3 changer in trunk that plays through the stock stereo)
  • Minor oil leak from oil pan(like an occasional drop here and there when parked)
If you are looking for a premium, well cared for classic XJ6, in one of the best color combinations, this is definitely the car!   NO RESERVE PRICE - BID WITH CONFIDENCE

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As 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.

Jay Leno's Garage features funnyman's 1963 Jaguar E-Type

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

Jay Leno looks inward on this episode of his eponymous garage, checking out a 1963 Jaguar XKE that he bought earlier this year. It is an example of his favorite kind of car, that being original and unrestored. He bought the E-Type from its first owner, a woman who purchased it new, held on to it for 50 years and took excellent care of it. Having never been in an accident, Leno says even the paint is 85- to 90-percent original.
In the video, the XKE sits in front of two heavily modded XK120s and another '63 XKE, but Leno said all he's done - and all he plans to do - is clean it up and put on a modern set of wire wheels for safety.
He's not on any junket and there are no guests, it's just a guy talking about an object dear to his heart. If you need a refresher on the excellent genes of the new F-Type, check out the video below.

Jaguar Land Rover to recall 44,000 vehicles over excessive diesel emissions

Thu, Mar 14 2019

Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 44,000 vehicles in the U.K. due to some of its vehicles emitting higher CO2 emissions than were officially stated. The recall is said to affect vehicles equipped with JLR's 2.0-liter diesel engine in cars built between 2014 and 2018. Quite a few models are affected, including the Jaguar XE, XF, E-Pace, F-Pace, along with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Sport. The excessive CO2 emissions were discovered by the British vehicle certification agency, who then reported it to JLR. The company is reportedly working on a fix that will satisfy the agency and bring the cars back in line with their stated CO2 emissions. As of now, JLR is not saying what the fix will entail. A statement from JLR reads: "The modifications will be made free of charge, and every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience to the customer." The U.K. magazine Which? said JLR told them owners might experience minor changes to the "overall vehicle experience." Reading between the lines there, that sounds like there could be some pretty serious tampering with the engine software, but we'll leave the speculation to a minimum for now. CO2 emissions numbers are used in the U.K. to set tax levels for vehicles, which means JLR could have gotten out of some taxation with its artificially low CO2 numbers. At this point we don't know how badly the numbers are off, so it's impossible to know how egregious the mislabeling is. There also isn't any explanation for why the CO2 numbers are off, but this is all information that could be forthcoming. The 44,000 number could rise, too, because the UK vehicle standards agency says that some gasoline models could also be involved. That would open a whole new can of worms for JLR. Some Jaguar vehicles (XE, XF and F-Pace) offer a 2.0-liter diesel option for the U.S., but Land Rover's only diesel it sells here now is the 3.0-liter V6. For the time being there's no recall out on the diesel or gas engines from JLR in the U.S. There's no chatter surrounding emissions cheat devices like those involved with Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal. Nor does the scale of whatever the problem is come anywhere near the amount of Volkswagen diesels that needed to be recalled or taken off the roads. We'll be keeping tabs on the situation to see if this expands any further than the U.K. Green Recalls Jaguar Land Rover SUV Diesel Vehicles Luxury Sedan
