Selling a 1987 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas sedan. Last year of the classic Series III body style, and arguably last of the "real" Jag as it was built in Coventry. Solid black exterior, tan leather interior, inline 6-cylinder engine, auto, A/C, power windows, door locks, sunroof, cruise, OEM AM/FM cassette radio, dual fuel tanks, all original and fully loaded. Low 121k 2-owners original miles. This is an unmolested California vehicle since new, bought locally new here in San Francisco Bay Area and have been here all its life (I knew the previous owners personally for years). Car runs fine and is currently registered and insured, no accidents (have older copy of CarFax to prove) and I have clean title on hand ready to transfer. Selling mainly because nobody in the family drives the car and it sits around most of the time; we just don't have the need for the car anymore.


Highlights:
-low original miles
-service records
-have original manuals, documentations, even the original cassette cleaner
-extra keys
-California vehicle all it's life so there is no rust anywhere, nothing around the windows that Jag this vintage usually have
-no crack dash
-both front seats have sheepskin covers on since new 
-trip computer works
-passes CA smog inspection no problem
-no mechanical work needed as-is

Car is ready to be driven anywhere as it has no mechanical issues of any kind. It does need a few small things however to make it perfect if you have the time:
-Small oil leak. It drips a little here and there, but nothing major and not losing oil. Remember this is a Jag
-A/C not operating, but it should work. We don't drive the car enough to ever get it serviced.
-Fuel gauge works, but intermittently
-Power door locks all work except passenger side won't unlock centrally, but still unlocks fine from inside.
-Outside mirror on passenger side is floppy, but motor works just fine
-Original AM/FM cassette stereo works fine, but the power antenna just went out
-headliner is starting to sag a little from the back 
-because we have no room in the garage, the car had to be parked outside for a while, so some area of the paint is starting to fade, but car still looks good from 10 feet away.

That's is all. It is a solid car that's been sparingly driven with verifiable ownership history. I have disclosed all the issues that I am personally aware of. Very low reserve, probably lower than most what everyone else is asking currently. Winning bidder need to either come pick up in person or make your own shipping arrangements. Funds must be cleared first before I will release the title. Thanks for looking and please email with any questions.

Jaguar builds F-Type to support Tour de France team [w/video]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

The Tour de France is typically a two-wheeled affair, dominated by cyclists yearning to capture the prestigious yellow jersey. While the 2014 event winds its way through Europe, Stage 20 will see an altogether different conveyance wind along the route between Bergerac and Périgueux - the Jaguar F-Type Coupe.
As part of its partnership with the British cyclists of Team Sky, Jag has enlisted its new Special Operations division to build a one-off F-Type Coupe, based on the 550-horsepower, supercharged R model.
SpecOps has removed the rear glass and come up with a creative solution to mount a pair of Team Sky's racing cycles in the back. Aside from that upgrade, the cabin boasts new upholstery in the colors of Team Sky's traditional livery. A separate power supply has been established below the bikes in what's left of the trunk, which provides juice for a set of radios and microphones, so that the team's director can communicate with the riders.

Stolen Jaguar E-Type reunited with owner after 46 years

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

Barely six months into owning it, Ivan Schneider had his Jaguar E-Type stolen from outside of his Manhattan apartment in 1968. Now, 46 years later, the somewhat beat-up convertible has been recovered just before it was about to be shipped to a new owner in The Netherlands.
US Customs agents at the Port of Los Angeles found the car during a routine check, and they contacted Schneider to arrange returning it to him. When the feds found it, the E-Type was already in a shipping container ready to go to its new owner. The condition is hardly perfect today, including rough paint and a replacement door, but Schneider is ecstatic to get his classic back.
Understandably, the now 82-year-old never thought he would see his droptop Jaguar again. Schneider told the LA Times that he bought the E-Type for $5,000 after winning a case as a lawyer, and it was originally painted gray. Now, he plans to have to have the vintage convertible restored to its former glory in New York.

Jaguar F-Type 'Design Study' headed to Goodwood

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

With the Goodwood Festival of Speed taking place this weekend, Jaguar has announced it will be there with its new trio of R models as well as a design study version of the hot new F-Type sports car. While we've already seen the XFR-S last year at the LA Auto Show and the XJR and XKR-S GT at the New York Auto Show, the F-Type design study has our attention.
Based on our recent sighting of a fixed-roof F-Type being tested in full camouflage, this could mean that we'll finally get to see a sexy F-Type Coupe in near-production form. Of course, with all of the other R branded models on display, Jaguar could also unveil a sporty new R - or maybe even an RS - F-Type roadster. Whatever is planned, it will not be a static display - Jaguar says the design study car will be in action, making the fabled run up Goodwood Hill with chief engineer Mike Cross at the wheel. Scroll down for more information about what Jaguar has planned for Goodwood.
