I bought this XJ6 for my retirement a few years ago from a collector. I used it very sparingly, registered it for my business to drive a few clients, and always garaged it. It had been in storage for more than a year now and I have had it out to drive twice this spring. I have driven it 400 miles in 5 years. I just had it out and it is running great and shifting very smoothly. It drives very nicely. The paint is good. and the body is straight . Very small bubbling on the top, over the drivers door from condensation but nothing extreme. Dunlop tires, and exhaust are good. All electrics and gauges work fine except that one of the two SU fuel pumps needs a tap or the points cleaned as it is not currently clicking. Interior needs a good leather cleaning, the headliner is sagging down and should be replaced, as should the drivers seat pan diaphram, as the pan does sag. Chrome is good, no rust per say. Great oil pressure and a smooth engine. The dash wood is all very nice.
The negatives - there is a hole up at the very front of the drivers floor where the hoist lifts go and should have a piece of new metal fitted. This is a very common flaw with these cars and very common. It is not bad now and can be repaired with very little effort. I would also oil spray the bottom of the car to prevent any future rusting, as it is clean now and this will retain that. The floor boards are all solid. The small bubbling on the top I mentioned prior. The headliner is falling down. It is the original material and not ripped. It can be glued back up. The air conditioning is not blowing cold. The fan cuts in but I would say it needs a Freon charge , as the compressor is not kicking in.
This was the first of the XJ series and the prettiest of them all!
I hate to part with this car but I am just not driving it enough and w2ant to pass it on to someone that will drive it and give it the tlc it deserves.
I am auctioning at no reserve, to the highest bidder.
Sir William Lyons, CEO of Jaguar, personally chose this as his choice for the best of all the Jag saloons.

Jaguar XE teased in new video, will debut September 8
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Outside of a major auto show, this might be one of the best times of the year for new car debuts, and we couldn't be more excited. Just this week, the low-slung face of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata showed itself to the world, and Land Rover debuted its new Discovery Sport. Plus, there's a double-whammy of launches on the imminent horizon with the unveilings of the Jaguar XE on September 8 and the Mercedes-AMG GT on September 9.
Jag is teasing the launch of its latest midsize luxury sedan with a few glimpses on video. It's strangely secretive, given the fact that Jaguar showed the XE's face completely un-camouflaged a few weeks ago. Regardless, it's quite a looker up front with a sleeker take on the shape of the larger XF.
Because of the way Jaguar is slowly leaking details about the XE, there are a few other things we already know about this new cat, too. It rides on a monocoque chassis made from over 75 percent aluminum, and the automaker is promising 75 miles per gallon fuel economy on the more lenient European cycle for at least one engine in the lineup.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe spotted testing
Thu, 09 May 2013The automotive world has been hot on fire with the Jaguar F-Type of late. We're still recovering from the excitement of driving Jaguar's new sports car for the first time, and recently we had a predictive look at a coupe version. As it turns out, those 'patent sketches' were just a warm up for the real deal F-Type Coupe, as this brand new set of spy images proves out.
Word from our shooter is that security around the F coupe was and is really tight. The photographer had to hide in the cargo area of his clandestine SUV, just to catch these few, not-perfectly-clear images (that odd color your see is window tint). Still, the photos are good enough to see that the rakish silhouette of the hardtop is going to do justice to the convertible. In fact, the new top seems to flow quite perfectly into the car's rear haunches.
Expect that the F-Type Coupe will share an engine lineup with the roadster, meaning both a naturally aspirated and a supercharged V6, as well as a V8 option. Hot R and R-S versions of the Jaguar coupe are a virtual lock, too, though how far down the product pipeline they are is unclear.
Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
