Lot details Registration No: HUT977N Chassis No: 2T12257BW Mot Expiry: July 2007
Introduced in 1973, the Series II version of Jaguar's iconic XJ6 boasted subtly revised styling with a slimmer radiator grille, new front valance / air intake, re-profiled lights and a fresh interior. Available in either short- or long-wheelbase guises (though the latter was standardised in 1975), it was equipped with all round coil-sprung suspension, disc brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering. Fitted with automatic transmission as standard, it was reputedly capable of over 120mph thanks to its effortlessly potent 4235cc XK DOHC straight-six engine. Justly feted by the contemporary motoring press, it remained a benchmark in luxury car design throughout its six year production life.
Finished in Fern Grey with green leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "very good" condition with regard to its 4235cc engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Apparently little used by its first keeper who purchased the car upon retirement, 'HUT 977N' is believed to have covered just 26,000 miles from new (a figure substantiated via an almost complete run of old MOT certificates). A former award winner ('Best Roadgoing Car', East Anglian Jaguar Day), the XJ6 has been in the current ownership since 2003. Covering less than 2,000 miles in that time, it is thought to be to original specification throughout. Riding on factory correct steel wheels, this well preserved Jaguar is offered for sale with aforementioned paperwork and MOT certificate valid until July 6th 2007.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
