Clean Rust-free 1989 Jaguar Xj-6 Vanden Plas California Jag Xj 6 on 2040-cars
San Mateo, California, United States
Clean, completely rust-free 1989 JAGUAR XJ series sedan. This is a Van Den Plas Edition, with most Power and luxury options available at the time, to include a dealer-installed, post-mounted Cellular phone~! This XJ6 has been a California Jaguar all of its life since being sold new at the former Cole European Land Rover-Jaguar dealership in Burlingame, CA ( now relocated to Walnut Creek). It resided in the Bay area all of its life, and had sat in dry storage for the last year, undriven. The gentleman who owned this XJ6 was an avid Jaguar enthusiast and owned about 5 other Jaguars to include this one. Sadly, he took ill and passed away two years ago and the vehicle was sold off along with the rest of the Estate. I acquired this Jaguar along with a 73' XJS and a 67' S type Saloon through a purchase opportunity through a licensed CA auto dealer friend of mine here in the Bay area ( so it was NOT my mom's or grandparents, and do not wish to misrepresent it as anything else). Personally, I was initially very skeptical about the mileage, and according to California DMV records, it has 150K last reported in 2013, as that is about the last time it was driven. I am fairly certain that the mileage is indeed accurate to the age of the car, not the 10K shown in the instrument cluster. The electronic cluster was more than likely replaced at some point in the last couple of years. I have a current CARFAX report available free of charge. The original 3.6L straight 6 cylinder engine starts up immediately, idles perfect and drives very well, smoothly as a Jaguar should. There were no noises, leaks or strange sounds in the engine that I have seen. The automatic transmission shifts well through all gears. There are NO rearend, axle nor differential howling or noises. The only things that I feel are blemishes on its otherwise appearance and overall condition are: * AC needs to be recharged, expected after all these years * There was some sort of modification of the brake booster unit, with either an earlier or later unit. Looks done a long time ago ( when I spoke to the wife of the former owner, she stated that the car has not been touched for a few years, and her husband liked to tinker, thus I do not know if he did the mod or someone else did. She kept paying the registration until a year ago when the husband passed on). * The onboard computer display reads "brake failure code" which I think is related to the modification mentioned previously. The brakes do work fine. I do not claim to be a Jaguar expert ( I am a Land Rover guy) by any extent, but based on what I see, I feel that this Jaguar is sharp, runs well and it would be an EXCELLENT value for the Jaguar aficionado, especially compared to all the junk that I see listed on Ebay~! This XJ6 is a very solid driver, with ABSOLUTELY NO RUST, completely original and in good running order. You cannot find Jags like this anymore. As expected, this XJ-6 Van Den Plas comes with all available power options to include Power windows ( all four work),Power seats (both work and all adjustments do as well), Power mirrors, AC, Cruise control, Central locking, wiper delay, etc. No engine issues or other drama. The powertrain runs GREAT and the engine hums along fine, with no internal or exhaust noises. The automatic transmission shifts fine into all gears as previously mentioned. BEAUTIFUL, factory-original Jaguar wire wheels with MICHELIN radial tires. mounted on them. The tires have approximately 80% tread remaining and NO cracks, brittleness or dry rot. There is a set of "furry" ( I don't know what else to call them..) carpeted floor mats for both the front and rear floors. In addition, there is a straight-on 1980's two-piece COLGAN hood bra. Feel free to EM or call with serious, pertinent questions or inquiries. I acan be reached at (650) 430-4660 no later than 8pm PST, please. Straightforward CARFAX REPORT. CLEAR California title. NON-SMOKER, NO pets or children in it. Always adult-owned, and its condition reflects it.
* I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the end of the auction, should an offer or a BUY-IT-NOW offer present itself. I am glad to assist with NATIONWIDE or OVERSEAS delivery at the most economical shipping rate available. I can do all coordination from here, and you pay the transporter cost directly to the shipper upon receipt of the Jag. Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Cashiers check or Bank draft are preferred. Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds source prior to any transportation arrangements being made. Another option is a Bank wire transfer to the local CHASE Bank branch here in town. That expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements. Upon receipt of payment, I will overnight the title and Bill of sale to the winning bidder. Thank you for your interest~! |

Jaguar F-Type Project 7 arrives Stateside for $135k*
Thu, 14 Aug 2014There are a great many things we love about the Jaguar F-Type, but one of them is that, whatever price point you're looking at, there's an F-Type for you. (Well, not any price point... this is a Jag we're talking about, but pricing varies greatly.) Got $65k to spend? That'll get you into a base F-Type V6 coupe, and you'll likely be happy for it. Eighty grand will get you into an F-Type V6 S, $90k into a V8 S roadster, and a cool hundred grand will get you the top-of-the-line F-Type R coupe. But what if you want to spend more than that? What if you've got more like $165,000 in your pocket and it's burning a hole when it should be burning rubber?
Well we've got good news for you, friend, because that's exactly how much the exclusive F-Type Project 7 will set you back. Making its US debut during Monterey car week, Jaguar has announced that the most exclusive version of its two-seat sports car - revealed in production spec just recently at the Goodwood Festival of Speed - will cost $165k in the US (plus the standard $925 delivery charge). That's roughly the price of an F-Type R and a base F-Type V6.
For all that scratch, you get an open-top roadster with 575 horsepower on tap - more than any production road car Jaguar has ever made before, and that includes the XJ220 and ultra-rare XJR-15 supercars. The most potent version yet of Jaguar's ubiquitous and long-serving 5.0-liter supercharged V8 is enough to send Project 7 to 60 in 3.8 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour.
Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine
Sat, 08 Feb 2014European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."

Jaguar reveals upcoming XE's InControl infotainment system [w/video]
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Jaguar has been keeping busy lately, rolling out both the new Lightweight E-Type and F-Type Project 7 at Pebble Beach this past weekend. But the more important project for the British automaker is the upcoming new XE.
Coventry has been releasing a steady stream of information and teasers on its new 3 Series challenger, and has now revealed details of the new infotainment system that will debut in the XE. Called InControl, the system centers around an eight-inch touchscreen and integrates with smartphones (running both iOS and Android) through the InControl Remote and InControl Apps. The system will allow drivers to pre-set the climate control for each day of the week, lock and unlock the doors and start the engine remotely.
It'll also include an on-board wifi hotspot to connect multiple devices and a laser-based head-up display that you can scope out in the graphic above as well as the video and press release below in advance of the XE's upcoming debut in London on September 8.
