This 1987 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas was refurbished under previous ownership in metallic beige over beige leather upholstery, and it was subsequently acquired by the selling dealer in 2023. Powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six linked with a retrofitted five-speed manual transmission, the car is equipped with 15″ wire wheels, tinted windows, wood veneer interior trim, power mirrors, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a Kenwood stereo head unit linked with a trunk-mounted amplifier. Work under current ownership is said to have included replacing the clutch, fluid changes, and bypassing the oil cooler. This XJ6 shows 115k miles and is now offered at no reserve in Florida with a clean Carfax report and a clean Illinois title.

The car was finished from the factory in Satin Beige Metallic (AGA) and it was repainted during the aforementioned refurbishment. The Leaper ornament has been deleted from the hood, and additional exterior details include a sunroof, European-specification quad headlights, tinted windows, Vanden Plas badging, and polished dual exhaust outlets that exit through the rear valance. Blemishes are visible on the front end, cloudiness is noted in the inboard headlights, the badges are mounted low on the trunk lid, and the left exhaust tip is in need of adjustment.

Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels wear 205/70 Sigma Shadow tires, and a full-size alloy spare is stowed below the cargo floor in the trunk. The car is equipped with an independent suspension and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. The front brake calipers were repainted and the brake fluid was flushed in preparation for the sale. The selling dealer notes spots of corrosion on the inner portion of the wheels.

The refurbished interior features beige on the seats, and high-gloss wood veneer accents on the dashboard, doors, and console. Additional appointments included power mirrors, automatic climate control, a trunk-mounted American Legacy amplifier, and a Kenwood stereo head unit with satellite radio connectivity.

The burl wood-trimmed steering wheel fronts a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 115k miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership.

The fuel-injected 4.2L inline-six was factory rated at 176 horsepower and 219 lb-ft of torque. The oil and coolant were changed in preparation for the sale, and the selling dealer reports that the oil cooler was bypassed and removed at that time.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed Borg Warner T-5 manual transmission that was retrofitted under previous ownership. A replacement clutch disc and pressure plate were installed in 2023, according to the selling dealer.

Lot #202574

This 1987 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas was refurbished and modified under previous ownership with work that involved retrofitting a five-speed manual transmission, repainting the body in metallic beige, and retrimming the interior in beige leather. Power comes from a 4.2-liter inline-six, and the car is further equipped with 15″ wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a sunroof, European-specification headlights, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, wood veneer interior trim, power windows, and a Kenwood head unit linked to a custom audio system. It was acquired by the seller on BaT in October 2023, and work since then included servicing the air conditioning system along with replacing various muffler gaskets. This XJ6 shows 115k miles and is now offered at no reserve with a clean Carfax report and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

The Pininfarina-styled bodywork was finished from the factory in Satin Beige Metallic (AGA) and was repainted as part of the aforementioned refurbishment. Hand-painted pinstripes accent the bodyside, and additional details include a sunroof, European-specification quad headlights, window tint film, Vanden Plas badging, and polished dual exhaust outlets.

Chrome 15″ wire wheels are wrapped in an older set of 205/70 Sigma Shadow tires, and a full-size spare is stationed below the cargo floor in the trunk. Braking is handled by ventilated front and solid inboard rear discs. Rack-and-pinion power steering and independent rear suspension with twin-coilover damping were equipped from the factory.

The front bucket seats and the split rear bench were reupholstered in beige leather and are joined by high-gloss wood veneer trim that adorns the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Wilton wool carpets have been installed, and amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, a Kenwood head unit, Blaupunkt speakers, and Sony and American Legacy amplifiers mounted in the trunk. The seller notes the seatbelt detection buzzer activates intermittently. The air conditioning condenser, dryer, and expansion valve were replaced in June 2024.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed Borg Warner T-5 manual transmission that was installed under previous ownership. The clutch disc and pressure plate were replaced in 2023, and the muffler gaskets were changed in June 2024.
