Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1982 Jaguar XJ6 S3 4.2 offers a rare opportunity for enthusiasts, having undergone significant mechanical recommissioning and boasting an advisory-free MOT. While it runs and drives well, potential buyers should be aware of numerous cosmetic issues, primarily extensive rust on the bodywork and wear in the interior, suggesting it's ideal for someone looking for a project with good mechanical bones.
Condition
5
The car has had significant recent mechanical recommissioning, including brake system overhaul, new wheel bearings, and rear subframe work, resulting in an advisory-free MOT until May 2027. However, there are numerous rust issues present on the bodywork (wings, doors, boot hinges, around rear screen, bonnet, A-pillar, sills, fuel filler flap), pitted rear bumper, faded chrome grille, and paintwork with orange peel and overspray. The interior shows wear on the driver's seat, a poorly repaired armrest, and rust in the footwells and on the headlining. While mechanically sound after recent work, the extensive bodywork corrosion and interior wear prevent a higher rating.

Finished in the classic colour of Rhodium Silver with an Isis Blue hide interior, the online MoT history and the paperwork in the history file suggests the 73,000 miles recorded on the odometer may well be genuine.
Running well after significant recent expenditure to recommission it after a few years in storage, it is being offered with no reserve, offering the canny Jaguar enthusiast a rare opportunity to add value as they tick off the few jobs that remain.
The Rhodium Silver (paint code MDE) coachwork gives the illusion that Jaguar’s designers carved the XJ6 out of a solid ingot of silver to create a 1:1 scale model, something the good panel alignment, decent shutlines, and excellent stance reinforce.
The usual XJ6 brightwork is thus somewhat hidden too, although it highlights th...
