1972 Jaguar XJ6 Series I Sedan for Sale

This is a really pretty XJ6 Jaguar sedan out-fitted in Silver with grey Connolly hide interior with blue carpets.

The overall combination presents very elegantly indeed. She is very " dry" without the typical ingress of heavy rust and scale. Photos of the underside show just how clean the car is underneath. The body on this car is

straight. Looking under the hood and trunk is evident of its originality. The car has been repainted at some stage (same colour) and presents well for driver quality and use. There are some minor marks, blemishes and chips here and there from normal use but overall presents shiny and clean.

To make it clear, it is not of any show quality standards but presents well being generally consistent overall. Being a 1972 year, I do like the all Euro style chrome bumpers and over-riders. By 73, these were already changing over to the impact style. The interior of the car is in great condition with excellent Connolly hide leather upholstery finished in the light grey which is perhaps better described

as a " blue grey" colour. The leather has a wonderful patina to it giving the car a very nice classic look, yet without any tears rips or holes. A perfectionist who might like the leather to look " new' could have it redyed but I think it looks best left as its is.

All the wood on the dash is original and in very good condition. There are hairline cracks in the finish but these are so consistent that they look ok! Compared to the average example, without any delaminating of the lacquer, it way exceeds typical and I would rate it 8 out of 10. The door cappings are good. There is no sagging or marks in the headlining. It appears to be relatively new. The carpet is in excellent

shape and is the original fitment Jaguar velour pile. The rich wood in this example contrasts beautifully with the grey hides and blue carpet – making the interior of this car very rich and inviting.

All interior chrome finishes are nice. Overall she looks wonderful with a nice classic patina look. Interior features and functions are operational including electrics – windows, lights, gauges, etc. With exception; the fuel gauge requires the obligatory " tap-tap" the A/C needs recharging but the system is functioning with compressor working well (guaranteed) and the clock is narcissistic. Everything is generally clean and crisp. All the knobs, centre switches, control knobs levers, radio and surrounding aluminium finishers are in great shape and look quasi brochure look.

Interior chrome, stainless steel and bright work finishes are all good without any pitting. The " Jaguar" grill badge is gorgeous. Mechanically, the car is good condition and the clean and original presentation under the bonnet clearly shows that. The engine runs strong and the trans changes smooth. Recent services include new brake hoses, new brake pads and brake general service. New front shock bushing were also fitted and carburetors rebuilt and engine tuned.

The front-end feels tight and power steering light and smooth. No leaks - the car is very dry underneath - which is rare for a Jaguar! (see underside pix). Exhaust is good with the correct looking exhaust tips fitted. The car is fitted with a set of period correct looking 205/70-15 whitewall tires (with some 80-90% tread). The left gas tank needs cleaning out and so the car is only operating on the right tank. Otherwise, this is a Jaguar that appears to be free of their usual nuances and typical issues of its age. The 25,000 miles is not verifiable but everything about the car certainly supports it to be a low mileage example.
