Throughout. Final Year of the XJ6 series III with quad
headlamps and chrome grille. The Jaguar Series III XJ6, produced
from 1979 to 1987 was a redesign of the Series II. Italian design
house Pininfarina was retained to update the design of the Series
II, and succeeded very well. Offered in the base, Sovereign and
Vanden Plas models, the Series III came to represent everything
that was "Jaguar". The Series III retained the 4.2 liter six
cylinder/BW66 combination used in the earlier series. The U.S. spec
engine was rated at near 170 net horsepower. This power was
channeled through the Borg Warner automatic transmission, then
through the independent rear suspension to the rear wheels. The IRS
unit was equipped with inboard brakes, with the brake rotors
mounted to the output shaft of the differential. This produced
noticeable better handling and ride. The new features introduced
since the Series II were thicker rubber bumpers, door handles that
were flush to the door, a vertical grill, narrower door frames with
the option of a sunroof and cruise control. The flat gauges and
flat dash panel were also replaced with a more contemporary
instrument cluster Factory options include: Burl wood
Veneer, Dual Saddle Fuel Tanks, Electric Sunroof, Cruise Control,
Telescopic Steering Wheel and Trip Computer plus upgraded with
modern CD Bluetooth stereo head unit and Wireless Remote Door
Lock/Unlock. This XJ6 Series III was purchased new by a
Physician in Texas and one can see has clearly led a charmed
existence to date. If you are seeking a classic Jaguar
sedan and the final iteration of the iconic XJ, look no further.
