Sellers description:
I purchased this car in 1986 and undertook a 6 year photo-documented bare shell restoration completed in 1993. She has done exactly 2734 miles since that time (may go up a few miles in the meantime). There were absolutely no shortcuts taken, with any rusty metal cut out and replaced with proper sheet metal, All surfaces were prepared using Dupont Corlar Zinc Rich epoxy primer, topped with Dupont 99 Black acrylic lacquer. Dody panels are die-straight and panel fit is much better than factory. This car has No Clear Coat, nor does it need it. The interior is the original leather, re-dyed with the original Leatherique in the original russet color, with new carpets and door panels. All rubber seals throughout were replaced. The Vinyl top is an original NOS item that I was somehow able to find at the time. All chrome was either new or re-plated. The European spec SII XJ bumpers and lighting really unclutter the exterior, and I swear the driver can feel the difference in the handling over a North American spec car with the extra weight of the crash bumpers at the extremeties now absent. Mechanically, literally everything was gone through. Suspension assemblies were completely restored and even the brake calipers were disassembled, zinc-dichromate plated, and reassembled with new kits and pistons. All the brake lines are stainless steel, too. The engine is a S1 E-type spec 4.2 with 8:1 compression, triple HD8's, S1 E-type camshafts and vacuum advance distributor, having standard bore, new rings and bearings, and a 1970 E-type cylinder head. The transmission is a John's Cars GM TH350 Quarterbreed kit. Trans was rebuilt at the time including a Transgo shift kit-very crisp. Exhaust is a Falcon Stainless Steel setup. Cylinder head casting number is FY836, located at the rear of the valley aft of the last plug hole. Engine number is 8L18533-l, and is original to the car. Body number is 5J1381, and VIN is UF2J50247BW. As a member of the local JCNA affiliate club in Pittsburgh since 1973, I have shown this car many times in our local Concours D'Elegance. The car has never not been awarded a first place when shown in either a judged show or one of our two local all-British participant judged shows. I could go on, but the pictures speak for themselves. I will be happy to answer any questions regarding the car or it's history in the last 27 years that I have owned it. I have just recently gone through the carbs with new floats, needle/seat assmblies and jet diaphragms and a setup. Fuel pumps were replaced about 5 years back with new Burlen Fuel Systems units. It will have a new Interstate battery in it when it goes. The only thing that is not absolutely 100% is the air conditioning, which still has the original R12, and blows cold but is weak. The car is available for viewing or inspection in Ruffsdale PA

This Jaguar XJ6 is a well maintained coupe. It was completed in 1993 from a body off bare shell restoration. From there it has been driven about 2835 miles. During the restoration there were no short cuts taken with the rusty metal cut outs and replaced with full sheet metal. All surfaces were prepared using Dupont Corlar Zinc Rich epoxy primer, topped with Dupont 99 Black acrylic lacquer. Body panels are die-straight and panel fit is much better than factory. The interior is the original leather, re-dyed with the original Leatherique in the original russet color. The door panels and carpets are all new as well as the rubber seats throughout. The vinyl top is an original NOS item. All the chrome was new or re-plated. The European spec SII XJ bumpers and lighting really unclutter the exterior.

All the brake lines are stainless steel. The engine is a S1 E-type spec 4.2 with 8:1 compression, triple HD8's, Si E-type camshafts and vacuum advance distributor, having standard bore, new rings and bearings, and a 1970 E-type cylinder head. The transmission is a John's Cars GM TH350 Quarterbreed kit. Trans was rebuilt including a Transgo shift kit-very crisp. Exhaust is a Falcon Stainless Steel setup. Cylinder head casting number is FY836, located at the rear of the valley after the last plug hole. Engine number is 8L18533-i, and is original to the car. Body number is 5J1381, and vin is UF2J50247BW. The carburetor has been recently gone through with new floats, needle/seat assemblies, jet diaphragms and a setup. Fuel pumps were replaced about 7 years back with new Burlen Fuel System unts. It has a well maintained interstate battery in it. The only thing that is not absolutely 100% is the air conditioning, which still has the oringinaal R12, and blows cold but weak. But who needs air conditioning when you take this flawless car out for a cruise with the windows down.

This car is available to view and inspect in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
