Showing 99,136 miles and owned by the same caretaker since 1978, this XJ6 has benefitted from a comprehensive, no-expense-spared restoration completed around 2023. With approximately 400 miles driven since completion, it presents today as a beautifully sorted, turn-key classic that blends originality, craftsmanship, and thoughtful performance enhancements.Under the hood is the legendary matching-numbers 4.2-liter inline six, paired with an automatic transmission for smooth, refined cruising. Both the engine and transmission were freshly rebuilt and tastefully modified with a triple-carburetor setup using an E-Type intake and a custom-fabricated air box, giving the car a distinctive character while maintaining Jaguar authenticity. Supporting mechanical work includes a rebuilt rear end, rebuilt fuel pumps, resealed fuel tank, re-cored radiator (most recently rebuilt in 2023), rebuilt alternator and starter, and a new stainless exhaust system.The restoration went far beyond drivetrain work. All suspension components were fully rebushed with new rubber, new shocks installed, and the brake calipers rebuilt, complemented by new brake and fuel lines throughout. A new wiring harness from the firewall forward adds modern reliability while preserving the car's classic feel. New tires complete the mechanical package, ensuring the car drives as confidently as it looks.Inside, the cabin reflects the timeless luxury that made the XJ6 famous. The wood dash has been refinished, a new headliner installed, and the black interior presents cleanly and authentically. The body and paint were completed around 2018 with all glass removed and reinstalled, resulting in excellent fit and finish. Known for combining sports car performance with limousine comfort, the Series I XJ6 is widely regarded as one of Jaguar's finest sedans, and this extensively restored, long-term owned example stands out as a rare opportunity for the discerning collector or enthusiast.
