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

Jaguar XE SVR to challenge M3, C63 with supercharged V8 power
Tue, Oct 14 2014Jaguar has a healthy powertrain range lined up for its new XE, including an array of four-cylinder engines and a supercharged 3.0-liter six that will, for now, serve as the range-topping offering in the XE S. But Car and Driver claims to have it on good authority that an even more powerful eight-cylinder version is in the works, as well. According to C/D, the XE's engine bay has been designed to accommodate the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter V8 engine, which in the larger XF is offered in several states of tune, including the XF Supercharged with 470 horsepower, the XFR with 510 hp and the flagship XFR-S with 550 hp. Just which version (or versions) would be offered in the XE remains to be seen, but even in its lowest-spec supercharged form, the 470-hp version would already be enough to challenge the 425-hp BMW M3 and the base 469-hp version of the new Mercedes-AMG C63. If Jaguar wants to take on the C63 S, however, it will need to shoehorn in one of the more powerful versions. In the end, Coventry's new Special Vehicle Operations division may opt to offer two versions, like it does with the XFR and XFR-S. Expect the top version, however much muscle it packs, to wear the British automaker's new SVR badge. It just may take a few years before it does so.
The best cars we drove this year
Tue, Dec 30 2014Six hundred and fifty. That's roughly how many cars pass through the hands of Autoblog editors every year, from the vehicles we test here at home, to the cars we drive on new product launches, testing roundups, long-term cars, and so on. Of course, our individual numbers vary due to several reasons, but at the end of the day, our team's repertoire of automotive experience is indeed vast. But let's be honest, some cars certainly stand out more than others. So as the year's about to turn, and as we're readying brand-new daily cat calendars for our cubicles, our editors are all taking time to reflect on the machinery that made this year so special, with one simple, open-ended question as the guide – a question that we're asked quite frequently, from friends, family, colleagues, and more. "What's the best car you drove this year?" Lamborghini Huracan When I review the list of everything I drove in 2014, picking an absolute favorite becomes almost impossible. I mean, how does one delineate between the joy offered by cars as different as the Alfa Romeo 4C, Volkswagen Golf R, Mercedes-AMG GT S and even the humble-yet-wonderful Chevy Colorado? Okay fine, I'll just pick the Lamborghini. I drove the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 on a racetrack, in the mountains, and along southern coast of Spain. It felt like the king of the car jungle in all of those places, sucking the eyeballs of observers nearly out of their heads as it drove by, and almost melting my brain with its cocktail of speed and grip and intense communication. It feels a little easy to say that the one new supercar I drove this year was also my favorite, but the fact is that the Huracan is one of the finest cars I've driven during my career, let alone 2014. Judge me if you must. – Seyth Miersma Senior Editor Rolls-Royce Wraith There are a couple of ways to look at the question, "What's the best car you drove this year?" In terms of what was so good I'd go out and buy one tomorrow, that'd be my all-time sweetheart, the Volkswagen GTI. Or if I'm just talking about sheer cool-factor, maybe something like the Galpin GTR1, BMW i8, or Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. But instead, I'm going to write about the sheer opulence of being the best of the best. The hand-crafted, holier-than-thou, shut-your-mouth-when-I'm-talking-to-you supremacy. I'm picking the Rolls-Royce Wraith. I drove the Wraith for a week in April, and was really, really impressed. This car does everything, perfectly.
Jaguar designs Tour de France racing bike [w/video]
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Jaguar is known for designing luxury sedans, and it's known for designing GTs. But once in a while it dabbles in a new area of transportation design. It's working on its first crossover at the moment, and even did a speedboat concept a couple of years ago. Now it's turned its attention to bicycles.
While many automakers have designed bikes in the past, Jaguar's project has a bit more of a direct correlation. It's been working with Team Sky - the outfit that has won the Tour de France two years running now - since 2010, furnishing the team with support vehicles for bicycle races around the world. But now it's stepping its collaboration up a notch by redesigning the team's bike.
Working with frame manufacturer Pinarello, Jaguar took the existing Dogma 65.1 racing bike design back to the drawing board. Jaguar's designers and engineers reshaped the frame tubes, seat post, front fork, derailleur and all the components attached to the frame, each part streamlined for aerodynamic efficiency. They ran it through Jaguar's Computational Fluid Dynamics processor 300 times then verified the results in the wind tunnel.
