The launch of the Jaguar XJ6 in 1968 redefined expectations in the luxury car sector. The new model effectively 'moved the goalposts' setting new standards for comfort, handling and refinement. A waiting list was quick to form and enthusiasm remained strong upon the introduction of the Series II cars in 1973. The standard or long wheelbase saloon models were joined later that same year by a striking new variant, an elegant pillarless coupe. Available with either the 4.2 litre straight six XK unit or the fabulous 5.3 litre V12, this handsome design retained the saloon's all round independent coil and wishbone suspension, disc brakes and power steering. Performance was predictably strong with both variants reputedly able to exceed 120mph.
Finished in silver with black vinyl roof covering, this particular left-hand drive example has been part of the collection since 1993. Upholstered in black leather with matching carpets, it carries wood trim to its dashboard and door cappings. Believed but not warranted to have covered 48,267 kilometres from new, it benefits from automatic transmission, a Philips radio-cassette player and owner's manual.
