1981 JAGUAR XJ6 SERIES 3 4.2 – LOW MILES, LOADS OF HISTORY, LAST OWNER 25 YEARS.
THIS is my 1981 Jaguar XJ6 series 3 4.2 in a delightful shade of blue with contrasting light tan leather. She has been in the same ownership for the past 25 years and comes with a huge history incorporating around 24 old MoT certificates and a pile of invoices for regular servicing and work done. Her mileage of 72,000 ought to be considered reasonably low in my view considering this Jaguar is now 42-years-old! Her last MoT expired two years ago. Motoring wise – although she has always been well maintained – she has covered a mere 3,000 miles or so in the past 20 years. A very pretty example, she has some minor cosmetic issues to the wheel arches although I would consider them to be simple enough to tidy up. There is a small area around the nearside headlight where primer has been applied. Overall, a sound and bonny enough series 3 XJ6. Their values have crept up steadily in recent years and you no longer see these iconic Jaguars being offered for giveaway prices. Looks extremely appealing at my price I would suggest. Incidentally, she will need the V5 updating to Historic Vehicle tax as she is now more than 40-years-old. I removed the front footwell carpets (they are fine and look original) to unveil the floor pans which are also original, in body colour and still with the sound deadening strips in the grooves (see photo).
I took her for a cruise this morning, covering around 12 miles or so and she drove superbly.
