1985 Jaguar XJ-6
82,000 miles!!
This Jaguar is a real sweetie. A base model, this car has 80,000 original miles and it shows. The seats look as good as a 10yr old car - with NO rips, holes or tears. The interior is classic Jaguar with wood-handled shifter, black switches on the center console for elec windows and SUNROOF, and a tan and black look that is just beautiful. The exterior is 96% GREAT with only one little bubble on the rear fender. The rest o the body is straight, un-dented, and un-rusted. The paint is also 100%, but is cracking under the clear coat. From no more than 10 feet - it looks like a nice paint job, but it definitely needs a redo. The wheels need polished badly, but are nice, unpitted and have all the center caps.
The engine - the Inline-6 - starts right up and runs well. Has new plugs and newer wires, new air cleaner ($40!) and has been treated well from last owner. Transmission shifts well with no delay or hesitation. I have had this car out 200 miles and have had no frets at all about doing so. The cruise control will work, but is a little fussy and for some reason wont set higher than 63ish (not sure why). I would not hesitate to drive anywhere with this car. Bout the only thing to say is that it isn't a rocket by any means, but it is very quiet, takes bumps like a champ and cruises well.
There are a few little things one could fix - the AC needs replaced (heater is very good), the trip computer is toast, and there is a weird jiggle noise under the rear speaker panel, but I cannot locate it. Most of the things that are wrong are minor and for a classic collector, would be an easy fix.
Why sell?? Well, HONESTLY, I am a muscle car buff and always have been, so the "Britishness" just isn't "me". I also am a bit too big for the seating - as I weigh more than most NFL linemen. For a Jaguar fan, this car is really nice and in need of a home.
$250 due upon winning auction. Final payment due within 10 days of auction end. I will be home for a look-over if you want one and I will be home most hours of the day if you need to transport the car a far distance. This car is being sold AS-IS with no warranty. I would not hesitate to drive anywhere, but it is an almost 30 year old car - so be realistic.

Good luck and God Bless!

Jaguar Land Rover looks to hire hundreds of laid-off tech workers
Sun, Nov 20 2022LONDON — Laid off tech industry workers in Britain could find a new home at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), as the 100-year-old luxury carmaker looks to hire hundreds of engineers to help develop electric car technology. The carmaker, which wants to become an "electric-first" business from 2025, on Friday announced a jobs portal for displaced tech workers to fill 800 roles spanning self-driving, electrification, machine learning and data science. The company said it believed workers leaving big tech groups like Amazon were most likely to have the required skills to fill new roles in Britain, Ireland, the United States, India, China and Hungary. The majority of the jobs will be in Britain. The hiring drive comes after thousands of layoffs in recent weeks at U.S. tech firms including Twitter, Meta and Amazon, some of which have offices in London and Dublin, Ireland. "Our digital transformation journey is well underway but being able to recruit highly skilled digital workers is an important next step," Chief Information Officer Anthony Battle said in a statement. JLR last year announced an electrification strategy under which all Jaguar cars would be fully electric by 2024 and an electric option would be offered across its entire portfolio including Land Rover. The company is owned by India's Tata Motors. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Is the Jaguar XFR-S really worth $17k more than the XFR? [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Adding performance to a car is rarely cheap - whether you're looking to do it yourself or rely on the factory to do it for you. In the case of the new Jaguar XFR-S, the cost differential over an already-impressive (and somewhat expensive) XFR is a stout $16,800. Auto Express recently got a hold of both cars to see whether that price pays off on the track.
For that price, Jaguar gives the XFR-S an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque - for a total of 550 hp and 502 lb-ft - to go with a stiffer suspension, beefed-up differential and, of course, meaner styling. We don't want to ruin the results of the AE video, but right off the bat, the host says that you can feel the extra power of the XFR-S, but that it's not a "night-and-day difference."
Scroll down to see what happens when two high-powered Jags go head-to-head on a track. And then be sure to let us know whether or not you think the added money is worth it for the XFR-S in the completely informal poll below.
