1982 Jaguar Xj6 Vanden Plas --exceptional Speciman-- Beautiful on 2040-cars
Folsom, California, United States
|
I purchased this car for the sole purpose of bring her back to original beauty - - When I bought her she needed some TLC - - I paid $2500.00 for the car from a guy who inherited it from his aunt (the original owner) - -I drove the car from SF to Sacramento and immediately checked her into a very high end Jaguar speciality shop - - I have all teh receipts for over $10,000.00 worth of work so that she would drive like she did when she was new - - I wanted cold air, smooth shifting, smooth stops, no vibrations, no weird sounds, no leaks, no smells,no rough idle - - I just wanted it to be as close to perfect so that when I wanted to cruise I did not have to worry - - -While she was getting a mechanical make-over I located a set of dayton wire wheels ($1,500.00) and put a $1,000.00 set of tires on them - - they really set the car off. I did have the windows professional tinted just to protect the newly restored connolly leather interior - was well worth the $300.00. The car is a real head turner -- you just do not see these on the road anymore - - -I've been watching the collector mags and it seems that this car (especially because its a VP) is real likely to increase invalue significantly - -- Right now all the sources say $5,100.00 on low end (assuming junk) $7,100 mid range (maybe this car if only the necessities were done vs. hihg end restoration) and $10k on the higher side - noting that its worth more if significant work has been done to the car and it hasn't been cannibalized. I have a little over $13k in this car -- I'm not looking to give it away, but I have set a reasonable reserve that i beleive is fair in today's market - - The car is AS IS - it is 32 years old and requires constant love and attention - - - You will not be disappointed with this car. |

Chinese patent filing shows what could be next Royal Limo from Jaguar
Fri, 10 May 2013Someone filed a patent application in China for the Jaguar XJ limousine seen above, but no one's sure who filed it or what the car is for. One camp thinks it's a State limo for UK royals like the Bentley State Limousine, another camp thinks it's the work of aftermarket coachbuilders.
One thing's for sure: Assuming it ever gets made, anyone who buys it wants an XJ in name only; the modifications have removed almost all of the grace of the standard sedan. Estimated to be more than three feet longer than an XJ, the stretched rear doors are backed by an even more stretched rear section that, in losing the trademark XJ C-pillar (the D-pillar on this car), adds all sorts of ungainliness to its backside. What's more, the roof rises from front to rear, we can only assume to make room for people with large hats. Or the NBA player that the Chinese call "Sweet Melon."
Head over to AutoSohu for more photos from the application, if you're sure that's what you really want.
Jaguar shows the face of its upcoming XE S sports sedan
Wed, 30 Jul 2014Jaguar has a bunch of projects in the hopper, from the replacements for the XJ sedan and XK coupe/convertible to its very first crossover. But arguably the most important among them is the XE - the British automaker's upcoming new sports sedan. Coventry has given us all sorts of peeks at what to expect from the new XE, from a shadowy rendering of the front end to a photo of a camo-wrapped prototype. But this is our best look yet.
As part of an announcement of a planned audio-visual spectacle scheduled to herald the arrival of the XE, Jaguar has released the image you see above, showing the undisguised XE in apparent S specification. From what we can see, it sports a fascia that looks pretty much exactly as we'd expect, though that's no bad thing. The XE is set to introduce the new Ingenium family of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. Whether the XE S shown here would carry a version of that (with a potential supercharger) or transplant the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 from the F-Type S remains to be seen, but whatever's under the hood, we'd expect it to hold the top end of the XE range - at least for the car's introduction before a potential R, R-S or SVR version might come along to supplant it.
One way or another, don't be surprised if you see some BMW 3 Series sedans pacing down the street nervously for the next little while. In the meantime, you can scope out all the glorious details of Jaguar's planned collaborations with the likes of Emeli Sandé, Stella McCartney and Idris Elba as part of the FEEL XE campaign in the press release below.
