 For auction is a 1981 Jaguar XJ6. I bought this car about a year ago and have driven it up to a month ago. Car all of a sudden quit. The car had been running very nicely previously. I have tried to figure out the issue with no luck. Have replaced numerous relays and fuel pump. Cleaned grounds, electrical connections to no avail and replaced coil.. Car has fuel and spark. Power to the injectors, but doesn't seem to be activating injectors.  Car starts briefly with ether. I am at my wits end with it and have spent enough time and money. Any mechanical suggestions would be welcome.  I truly believe it is something relatively simple, but if you're familiar with Jaguars, you know they can be difficult. I am letting it go for a fraction of my investment.  My loss is your gain. Car has current NYS inspection sticker. I have a clear title in hand. Car will have to be transported. I believe the car actually has 138k miles but does not show the digit on odometer.

The GOOD:

As stated the car ran well previously. No smoke or leaks. Transmission and drivetrain worked as they should. Brake are in good operating condition. Tires are matched Michelins with 50-60% tread.

Car's interior was redone previously. Upolstery is in very nice condition. Exterior paint has good finish.Accesories all work except stated below.

Done recently:

New Battery,Spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, fuel and air filters, resonators from the cats back, sway bar link and bushings.  I have maintenance folder from previous own, who owned car for years.  It's about an inch thick. This guy didn't overlook anything.

The NOT SO GOOD:

The car does not start as previously stated.

Odometer and speedometer are not working.

AC and cruise control are inoperable.

Paint has several small areas of bubbling. (pics) Passenger side floor pan is rusted through along rocker panel.  Undercarriage has surface rust but all functional. Spare tire well solid.

This is not a show car by any means, but was an excellent driver with potential to take it further if you chose.

If you have questions, ask before you bid. I will not ship outside of US. Buyer is responsible for transport. Car is sold AS-IS DO NOT bid if you have less than 5 feedback record or under 89% positive feedback. I will cancel your bid. DO NOT waste my time. I have tried to be honest in my description. My feedback rating is quite reputable.

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.

Can a Jaguar XKR-S be drifted while blindfolded?

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

Bring together a 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S and a rain-soaked skidpad, and it's almost impossible to not end up in a sideways drift... accidental or on purpose. With that in mind, the gang over at Autocar got a hold of the monstrous XKR-S for the latest installment of "Will it Drift?," only they raised the stakes a little by attempting the feat with a blindfolded driver
We've driven the XKR-S a number of times here at Autoblog (including a First Drive, Review and Quick Spin), so we weren't at all surprised to learn that blind drifting in the car is possible. But what is remarkable is the ease at which it happened. This, of course, can be credited as much to the car as to the driver, Steve Sutcliffe. Check out the impressive video for yourself, which is posted after the jump.

Jaguar XE promises to net 'over 75 mpg,' just not for us [w/video]

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

With around a month away from its world debut on September 8, Jaguar continues to issue a constant drip of updates about its upcoming XE compact luxury sedan that's aiming to take on the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Where the company's last bit of info focused on the car's suspension setup, this time Jag's putting the spotlight on the new model's modular platform and making some big promises about it, too. How big? Try over 75 miles per gallon big.
That's the headline figure that Jaguar is claiming for its new sedan, but it's keeping mum on just what powertrain will realize that figure. Furthermore, that result is on the European test cycle, which is more lenient than America's EPA testing regime. In any case, when the XE hits the road, Jag says it will be the most efficient vehicle from the company, ever.
That's thanks in no small part to the aluminum-intensive monocoque chassis underpinning the sedan. It's constructed from a new grade of the lightweight metal called RC 5754 that uses a high portion of recycled material. "The Jaguar XE body uses over 75-percent aluminum content, which far exceeds any other car in its class. This gives us a body structure with unrivaled low weight: it's light but also immensely strong with extremely high levels of torsional stiffness," said Dr. Mark White, Jaguar Chief Technical Specialist; Body Complete.
