Lot 103 - 1976 Jaguar XJ6 - One owner, 32,000 miles from new
Estimate: £2,500 - £3,500
Registration Number: TBA
Chassis Number: ZT159588W

This one owner Jaguar 4.2 XJ6 Series II Long wheel base has resided all its life in the Humberside area. First registered on the 24th March 1976, this car has covered just 32,000 from new.

Discovered earlier this year, some 17 years after it was laid up in 1994, this Jaguar has been subject to a lot of re-commissioning work. Complete with its original radio, and a handful of bills and receipts the vendor describes the car to "drive faultlessly with everything working as it should". Finished in the original and very period shade of lilac over beige, and MoT'ed until November 2011, with six months road fund licence this car represents true value.

Lot No: 365
One owner, 32,000 miles from new
1976 Jaguar XJ6 Series II 4.2-Litre LWB Saloon
Registration no. PFE 208P
Chassis no. 2T15958BW
Engine no. 8L30851S

Estimate: £1,800 - 2,200, € 2,000 - 2,500

First registered on 24th March 1976, this one-owner Jaguar XJ6 Series II long-wheelbase saloon has resided in the Humberside area all its life and has covered only 32,000 miles from new. The car was purchased for the owner's wedding hire business at a cost over £3,000 new, plus an additional £800 for the optional electric sunroof. In 1994 the Jaguar was put into storage when the owner retired, remaining unused for the next for 17 years. Now aged 87 and unable to drive, the owner had the car re-commissioned, fully serviced, tuned and MoT'd at a cost of almost £2,000 less than three months ago. The Jaguar sailed through its MoT at the first attempt.
Finished in Lavender Blue with Biscuit leather interior, the latter featuring its original radio, 'PFE 208P' is described as completely original and is said to drive faultlessly, with everything functioning as it should. We are advised that the original service history is missing; however, there are eight expired tax discs and two old MoT's, showing that in the years between 1992 and 1994 the vehicle covered only 2,000 miles and in the first year as little as 350 miles. Described by the vendor as in generally good condition, with 'fair' bodywork, paint and interior, the car is offered with current MoT/tax and its original registration document.

An automatic transmission model first registered on 24th March 1976, this Jaguar XJ6 Series 2 saloon resided in the Humberside area for most of its life and has covered only 32,372 miles from new. The car was purchased for the first owner's wedding hire business at a cost over £3,000 new, plus an additional £800 for the optional electric sunroof. In 1994 the Jaguar was put into storage when the owner retired, remaining unused for the next for 17 years. Aged 87 and unable to drive, the owner had the car re-commissioned, fully serviced, tuned and MoT'd in 2011 at a cost of almost £2,000, and then offered it for sale at Bonhams' Harrogate auction in November of that year (Lot 365) where it was purchased by the current vendor. The original service history is missing; however, there are eight expired tax discs and two old MoTs on file.

A Jaguar enthusiast, the vendor has carried out a painstaking restoration over the last three years including a high quality re-spray in original Lavender Blue, with brightwork re-chromed where necessary (invoices on file). In addition, the carpets and headlining were replaced and the original interior tan leather refurbished to 'as new' condition. A complete new stainless steel exhaust system has been fitted; the rear shock absorbers renewed; and the radiator reconditioned and fitted with new hoses. Dunlop SP tyres to the correct original pattern have been sourced and fitted.

Effectively a 'one owner' car, this superb XJ6 is offered with the aforementioned documentation and invoices, its original logbook, MoT to September 2015 and V5 registration document.
