THE APPEAL
In 1968 Jaguar broke the mould for what prestige saloons should be. It was the beginning of a time where all of the cars that rolled out of the factory at Browns lane were based on one platform. The XJ6 was designed to reinvent the Jaguar brand, moving it forwards in leaps and bounds.
Many of the smaller version 2.8 litre engines suffered in terms of performance and reliability, so the 4.2 litre became the optimum and sought after model within the range. The XJ boasts independent suspension on all four corners, and came with an opulent interior to match its massive exterior dimensions.
Unfortunately, very few cars today have survived due to the fact that the XJ6 was very susceptible to rust. Luckily this one has spent the vast majority of its life in a warm climate and therefore has survived the test of time.
British racing green paintwork presents in great condition but is starting to show it’s age in places.
Contrasting yellow stripe that runs down the side of the car looks great and adds to the vehicles aesthetic.
The brightwork is in lovely condition with little pitting or corrosion to report.
As far as we could see the vehicle is free from dents and dings with the bodywork looking straight and true with panel gaps presenting evenly as far as we could tell.
The body panels appear to be free from any rust of corrosion.
Headlights and rear lights are functional and free from any sun damage or cracks.
Both the front and rear bumpers are in great shape with no damage, pitting or corrosion to report.
Model designation badging that can be found around the car is inline with the vehicles condition.
Well presented steel wheels show no signs of corrosion or damage.
A well presented example of a car that has slowly disappeared from UK roads. It’s a car that you will want to be seen in as it oozes style and finesse from the outside as well as the inside. It’s a car that shares many properties that modern XJ’s still have, such as the four-light headlight cluster and squared off rear end as well as performance capabilities.
Regardless of its age, it’s a great choice for a saloon car, even today.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
C&C prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3-minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours. You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
