The Appeal
The X300-generation XJ6 Sport is widely regarded as one of the most elegant executive saloons of the 1990s, combining Jaguar's traditional refinement with a subtly sporting character. Powered by the smooth 3.2-litre AJ16 straight-six and paired with a four-speed automatic gearbox, the Sport specification offered a compelling blend of pace and poise in what many consider to be the last truly classic-looking XJ.
This example wears turquoise blue paintwork over a cream leather interior, complemented by gloss black and dark wood-effect trim. Equipment includes a sunroof, automatic air conditioning, and a rear window blind. Notably, it spent over 23 years with its fourth registered keeper, suggesting it was a valued and well-appreciated car during that considerable tenure.
Prospective buyers should be aware that a Category S insurance loss was recorded against this vehicle in March 2025. The current MOT notes a number of minor defects and advisories, detailed below, and this XJ6 Sport presents an opportunity for a new owner to carry out the necessary remedial work and continue its story.
