I sold my Jag on Cars and Bids and it was a great experience

My 1986 Jaguar XJ6 was a fun car to own. I think it’s one of the all-time great sedan designs. The interior was comfortable. And having a Chevy V8 under the hood certainly didn’t hurt the ownership experience. Still, during my few years with the car, I only put a few thousand miles on it.…

The Jag: A quick cat-faced update to the headlights

A few weeks back, I mentioned I found some Marchal headlights on the World Wide Web. Well, I ordered those headlights and they recently showed up. That means it’s time to install them and see how they look on the Jag. Overall, I’m quite happy with the look of the headlights. However, I do think…

There’s a car get-together that happens on Friday mornings in Los Angeles. It’s called the Good Vibes Breakfast Club, and it’s a thing I’ve wanted to attend for some months now. The issue for me is that it takes place at Newcomb’s Ranch up on Angeles Crest and I live down in the southern part…

I’m a bit overdue on an update on these two. Let’s fix that, and also break the oddly Ford-heavy news cycle at the moment. The Jag My 1986 Jaguar XJ6 is running …well, ish. The engine makes decent power and it’s a great highway cruiser of a machine. Oddly though, the other night I was…

I bought an old black car. The old black paint looks great from 10 feet. Once you get up close you can see it’s a playground of crow’s feet. That’s not a big deal to me really, since this is a stop-gap car. But I’d still like to know the best ways to keep it…

My 1986 Jaguar XJ6 runs strong. It sounds good. The seats are supremely comfortable, and the ride is great. It also runs rich and chugs fuel, needs an updated radio since I have zero tapes, could use some tint on the glass so I don’t fry in there, and the AC needs a recharge. Also,…

The Jag: Prepping for paint correction

My 1986 Jaguar XJ6 has a great-looking color combo. The paint shines… when you’re standing 10 feet or more away from it. This is old Jaguar paint and it’s fully flitted about with crow’s feet. I’m going to see just how far we can bring this paint back without actually repainting the car. In a…

I’ve been eyeing old Jaguars for some time now. An open browser window had two to three tabs dedicated to work and possibly 15-20 more relegated to various vehicles I’ve found listed for sale. There isn’t a specific era of Jaguar I’m after but I know I want a sedan, which means I’m after an…
