1996 Jaguar Xj6 Base Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Perrysburg, Ohio, United States
Really nice Jaguar XJ6 finished in slate grey with chamois leather interior and a low 87,500 miles for its year. The whole car is in overall nice, clean and excellent presenting condition. She is a 2 owner example with a clean AutoCheck report and a high score of 58 out of a possible 62:
The interior of this example is in impeccable condition with the burl walnut just wonderful. Only the door woods show some hairline marks but the dash, console and other trims are in impeccable condition. The Connolly hide leather seats are factory condition, soft and supple with no stains, wear marks or tears. They literally look like new (probably the most stunning feature of the car). There are no cracks in the dash or rear parcel shelf. The carpets and headliner are immaculately clean. The headliner is slightly drooping in the back (which is a common thing for Jaguars) and the centre console cup-holder is broken. Otherwise, the rest is all great. The interior truly is stunning, is like new and even smells "brand new". The paint is in good condition with only minor little stone chips and small marks. There is a small amount of bubbling paint on each rear wheel well. It is very shiny and consistent and presents perfectly for driver use. On a scale out of 10, I would rate the paint as an easy 8 or 9. Mechanically the car is very sound with near new tyres mounted on later model XJ wheels (from a 2000 Vanden Plas). This is the new generation straight, 4 liter straight 6 cylinder which was a vast improvement over the old engine in pre 1995 Jaguars. The car drives smooth, strong and quietly. Recent maintenance included a brake service with 4 new rotors/discs and pads all round, a general service and safety inspection. There are no warning lights on the dash and all is good to go. A new A/C compressor, A/C condenser and A/C clutch has just been installed along with a new power antennae and recent oil service. The heater is nice and toasty. This is an immaculate Jaguar XJ-6 with good low miles and makes for an excellent everyday or weekend driver. It far exceeds average condition examples and comfortably rates as a virtual 8 or 9 out of 10 driver condition which earns it regular compliments. |

Jaguar wants to make real-life driving just like a video game
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover is on a bit of a tech bent today. It's announced its new family of four-cylinder engines and a "self-learning" vehicle Range Rover prototype, and now it's announced what it calls the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen.
The technology is similar to other head-up displays and telematics recorders already on the market, the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen concept takes things to the next level to turn real-life driving into a video game-like experience. It's being demonstrated with data like lap times, grid positions, virtual racing line and brake guidance... even "ghost" cars from previous laps and virtual cones for simulated autocrossing. Just like you'd find in the latest version of Forza or Gran Turismo, but you know... in an actual car - in this case a Jaguar F-Type. It's similar to the Transparent Bonnet system Land Rover revealed a couple of months ago, but instead of rock-crawling, it's for the race track.
The system also incorporates gesture controls and could be configured to display instrument data, a video feed from a rear-view camera to replace the mirror. Check out the details and the video below for a closer look at what JLR has got in store for the near future.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
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.
