Stunning 'time warp' example
Extra low mileage
One owner from new

This XJ6 long wheelbase 4.2 litre example is in 'time warp' condition and displays under 12,000 miles on the odometer which we have been informed is correct. The paperwork accompanying this car is an addition to the cars provenance and includes the original handbooks and previous MoT test certificates. In 1996, after having been in storage since 1985, the car won 'car of the day' at a Jaguar Drivers' Club Concours D'Elegance and came 2nd in a Concours event at an XJ event at Duxford. The brightwork is good throughout with only slight pitting due to its time in storage for which it has spent a large part of its life. The interior presents as it should on a car with so few miles, the paint work is in good order throughout as is the engine bay. Recently recommissioned and detailed, this car was the personal vehicle of our vendor, who sadly is no longer with us, a Jaguar Club member and enthusiast, this is rare example of the XJ6 with unrivalled originality.

Guide Price £6,000 - £8,000
