1973 Jaguar XJ6

About This Vehicle

The Jaguar XJ6 Series 1 is among the most iconic models in British luxury car manufacturing, produced in Coventry between 1968 and 1973. Initially, the premium manufacturer offered the model with 2.8- and 4.2-liter inline-six engines. These models delivered refined performance with a silky-smooth operation, staying true to Jaguar’s famous philosophy: Grace, Space, Pace. True to the brand’s heritage, the car combined elegance with sportiness, featuring chrome accents and a luxurious interior with fine leather and wood trim, representing the best of British craftsmanship. For improved handling and ride comfort, the XJ6 was equipped with independent rear suspension, further enhancing both the driving and traveling experience. The presented car is 4.2 litre inline-6 Jaguar XJ6 Series 1 (from year 1973) manufactured for the South African market, and comes from the final year of production. It has African registration documents and customs-cleared papers, and it was imported into Europe through the Netherlands. Between 1973 and 2003 it was owned by an African diplomat, and it has been with its current owner since 2007. The vehicle is in excellent condition — its body has never been damaged, and the paintwork is original. It is a right-hand drive, rear-wheel drive car, equipped with an automatic transmission. The odometer shows only 97,497 km, and both the engine and cylinder head have undergone a complete refurbishment. The interior is well preserved and in good condition. The XJ6 S1 is a truly iconic model, perfectly embodying the design language of Jaguar’s golden era.
