Auction description:

Chassis Number 2N5474BW

Engine Number 7L89802S

Three owners from new; only 31,200 miles indicated, believed genuine; recently recommissioned following 20+ years in storage; driven 90 miles to the sale; long MOT

First registered in February 1974, this Jaguar XJ6 Series 2 SWB has had just three owners from new and comes with correspondence stating that the first owner sold it to a friend and then subsequently bought it back in 1999 when it had covered 29,182 miles. The car was then put into storage where it remained until it was sold at auction in 2021.

Over the last couple of years the car has been fully recommissioned as detailed in invoices and notes on file. This has included a full brake overhaul with calipers professionally refurbished by Bigg Red, new master cylinder and new pipes and hoses. The rear wheel bearings have been renewed along with the starter motor and the water pump.

The rear axle has been removed and overhauled with new springs and bushes as required. The gearbox has been serviced with fresh oil and filter. The carburettors have been overhauled and the engine serviced with new plugs, leads, oil and filter etc. The fuel system has also been refurbished as required. The outer sills and the rear valance have been renewed and a new set of tyres fitted along with a modern Sony CD/radio.

The car now shows 31,225 miles which is believed to be correct although there is insufficient history to warrant this figure. It has an MOT until August 2024 with just three minor advisories (slight play in front ball joints; slight oil leak). It also comes with an original owner’s handbook and maintenance chart.

Driven 90 miles to the sale, the vendor states that the car runs and drives well. It has certainly been starting promptly and running nicely as we have moved it around on site, with good 40psi oil pressure.

Please note that the private number plate shown is being retained by the vendor and the car will be fitted with plates showing its original registration number (SNV 796M) prior to the sale, as shown on the current V5C.
