Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1979 Jaguar XJ6 is a well-preserved example with just over 40,000 miles, boasting a largely unrestored coachwork and a complete book pack. While the paint may need polishing and the interior could use some attention, the car's originality, smooth running engine, and crisp panel lines make it an appealing classic.
Condition
7
The car is described as a highly original Series II Jaguar XJ-6 with just over 40,000 miles. The coachwork appears largely unrestored, and the paint may need polishing. The interior would benefit from re-connollising and feeding. However, the car runs smoothly, and the panel lines are crisp and straight, with no evidence of filler or rust. Overall, it's in solid condition with slight wear, requiring minor reconditioning.

This is an excellent example of a highly original Series II Jaguar XJ‑6.
Manufactured in 1979 and showing just over 40,000 miles, it is finished in Regency Red with a complementary Tan Connolly hide interior and contrasting coachlines.
First registered in the UK on 20th February 1979, there are only four former keepers recorded.
The 4.2‑litre engine runs smoothly, and the three‑speed automatic gearbox operates quietly, changing gears just as it should at the time of consignment.
The coachwork appears largely unrestored, if at all, and although the paint presents a little dull, it could respond well to a thorough polish.
Panel lines are crisp and straight, with excellent panel fit throughout.
The wheel arches are clean and sharp underneath, with no evidence of filler, and there is no rust bubbling above the headlamps.
Importantly, the windscreen surrounds show no signs of corrosion, suggesting careful ownership over the years.
Inside, the cabin exudes unmistakable 1970s charm.
