Auction description:
Windsorview Lakes July 22nd 2023
Lot Number 240
Registration VRF 556L
Chassis Number 1L33364DN
Engine Number 7L69011S
Odometer reading 26,128 miles
Estimate £14,000 - £17,000

Manual overdrive gearbox
Desirable colour combination
Excellent condition

This example is no exception, in the most desirable configuration of short wheelbase, with a manual overdrive gearbox. The British Racing Green paintwork presents well and the brightwork has an equally good shine. Moving inside, the green interior also presents very well and gives the impression that the odometer reading of just over 26,000 miles, may be correct. There is evidence of £1,981 worth of work carried out in 2020, which appears to have mainly been a thorough recommission following a long stint in storage.

Smart early XJ6’s are becoming increasingly difficult to find, this example appears to be very original and with its manual gearbox, it is a true super saloon of the 70’s. Presents in possibly the best colour combination and specification, this might just be the XJ6 you have been searching for.
