Sellers description:
This Jaguar XJ6 is a NICE - DRY - SOLID - Washington State - Idaho high mountain desert - Western vehicle that is sound and in GREAT shape. We just purchased this BEAUTY from the retired owner who has lovingly owned this car for many years and as you can clearly see it was his pride and joy for sure ! It comes with its ORIGINAL owners operating maintenance and service manual, routine maintenance booklet and still retains its FACTORY ORIGINAL inner fender mounted Jaguar data plate and its FACTORY ORIGINAL driver's door pillar mounted Jaguar data sticker, all shown in pictures below. I drove this car for the last several days as my everyday driver to and from the office and running errands as needed and I can assure you it runs and drives VERY WELL. It has AWESOME power, gets good gas mileage and handles like a dream, TOO FUN, what's not to like? If you can make it to Boise in the next ten days please come and look this car over for yourself, you won't be disappointed !! This is a QUALITY CAR FOR SURE and if you like attention then this car is for you.

This BEAUTY has what appears to be the STRONG - ORIGINAL - Jaguar - 4.2 Litre - inline six cylinder motor in it and running VERY well. The engine still retains most of its ORIGINAL parts including ORIGINAL valve covers, ORIGINAL exhaust manifold, ORIGINAL dual carb intake manifold, ORIGINAL dual Stromberg Zenith carbs and the ORIGINAL dual carb air cleaner housing. Sounds good too with the factory style true dual exhaust system with dual chrome tips. The engine is backed by a SMOOTH - Borg Warner - three speed automatic transmission which also functions very well. The - ORIGINAL - Tan Leather and vinyl interior is in BEAUTIFUL condition including VERY NICE ORIGINAL Tan Leather and vinyl front bucket seats with factory headrests, NICE ORIGINAL Tobacco carpeting, NICE ORIGINAL Jaguar steering wheel, VERY NICE ORIGINAL Matching Tan vinyl door panels with VERY NICE CORRECT ORIGINAL wood top trim, VERY NICE ORIGINAL Tan Cloth headliner, VERY NICE ORIGINAL Wood Grain and Black Vinyl dash, NICE ORIGINAL Black Vinyl dash pad with two small cracks, VERY NICE Black Vinyl sunvisors, VERY NICE ORIGINAL Tan vinyl center console with a padded center armrest, VERY NICE ORIGINAL Tan vinyl rear bench seat with fold down center armrest and VERY NICE ORIGINAL gauge clusters. In my opinion your not going to find a much nicer ORIGINAL interior in a 40 year old car than the one that's in this BEAUTY, UNBELEIVABLE !! This Jaguar XJ6 is nicely equipped including WORKING FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING that has just been serviced and retrofitted to R134A, factory power steering, factory power brakes with disc's up front, factory power windows, factory power wipers, factory guage package with a 140 MPH speedometer, front and rear seat belts, good heater and defroster, factory wing windows, factory rear window defogger, working original "Kienzle" dash mounted clock, factory dual fuel tanks, original day / night rear view mirror, dual chrome remote side view mirrors, good glass, factory back up lights and an AWESOME Clarion AM / FM / Cassette digital stereo radio with four mid-range speakers mounted in the door panels. This British Luxury Car has sharp looks, good power and good gas mileage as well ! These vehicles have an appreciative group of owners any of which would be pleased to own this one. The suspension and drivetrain are all in good working order as well as the electrical system. All the lights work including the headlights, taillights, front and rear turn signals. Speaking of lights all of the ORIGINAL light and reflector lenses are clear, bright, uncracked and BEAUTIFUL. All of the ORIGINAL rubber weatherstripping is still soft, supple and in GREAT condition for being ORIGINAL !! The trunk compartment is the nicest and cleanest of any Classic Car that we have had in a long time and still retains its ORIGINAL Black carpet trim material and a full size spare tire.

This Jaguar is SHARP !! It is in GREAT condition from top to bottom and from front to back. It will not disappoint someone looking for a good example of a sought after and hard to find collector luxury car which is not seen at every stop light for sure. The Juniper Green exterior finish is EYE POPPING BEAUTIFUL showing only a few very small chips and is still bright and shiny and looks STUNNING as you can clearly see in the pictures !! NICE ORIGINAL chrome front and rear bumpers, VERY NICE ORIGINAL chrome grill and Jaguar emblem and VERY NICE ORIGINAL badging. Check out the VERY NICE - FACTORY ORIGINAL - Jaguar Steel wheels with correct Jaguar chrome center caps wrapped in nearly new Michelin steel belted radial tires. This vehicle is in nice mechanical condition and it runs and drives very well. It is solid with respect to the overall mechanical condition as well as the overall cosmetic impression. I looked underneath and also included photos below. Again this is a NICE - DRY - SOLID - Washington state - Idaho high mountain desert - western vehicle. In my opinion you're not going to find much nicer ORIGINAL FLOORS than the ones on this BEAUTY !!

This is one GORGEOUS - SURVIVOR 1973 Jaguar XJ6 Series I which needs a new owner.
