The Appeal
The Jaguar XJ6C is among the most coveted British grand tourers of the 1970s. Its pillarless coupe body, frameless side glass and lower roofline gave it a sleeker, more sporting character than its four-door sibling, yet production spanned only a handful of years, resulting in comparatively few examples built. Survivors are increasingly sought after by Jaguar enthusiasts and collectors.
This 1975 left-hand-drive example was originally delivered to the North American market. VIN decoding indicates it is the 98th chassis in the left-hand-drive coupe production sequence. It arrives with a USA title and Dutch import documentation, with EU customs duties and VAT already settled, removing a significant hurdle for European buyers. For those further afield, the seller can also assist with worldwide transport and shipping arrangements.
