1997 Jaguar XJ6 3.2 Executive

Highlights

• Beautifully preserved
• 16'' Lattice's
• Star of a Jaguar World Magazine feature
• Original bottle of champagne from the supplying dealer included!



The Appeal

Jaguar’s X300 XJ6 marked a return to the more traditional styling favoured by its core customer base at the time and, with its 3.2 litre straight six, is the perfect way to waft. The best examples are becoming increasingly collectable and you’ll struggle to find a better preserved car than this one. With just 23,785 miles on the clock, it’s hardly been used yet has been pampered all its life.
Indeed, it’s hard to find an area of the car that’s aged at all since it left the factory. The under bonnet toolkit is still in its cellophane wrapping, all the manuals and a brochure are there and it even comes with a branded bottle of champagne that was gifted to the first owner by the supplying dealer. 

Opportunities like this rarely come up so if you’re a collector or indeed someone that fancies running a modern classic with only a couple of years’ worth of mileage on the clock, then get bidding now.

The History and Paperwork

• First owner kept it for a little under 10,000 miles
• Since then the car has passed on from one generation to the next, twice
• The second owner was a father, whose son inherited it and put into storage at marque specialist, JAGtechnic
• Run regularly, then fully recommissioned and acquired by seller’s father in law, who added fewer than 1500 miles before giving up driving
• Seller now offering it for sale as, despite being a Jaguar enthusiast, he prefers the GT cars
• Main dealer history up to storage
• Recommissioned by JAGtechnic
• Full set of invoices and old MOTs
• V5 in seller’s name, now on its previous plate J10 VJJ, as featured in the "Jaguar World Magazine" rather than those shown in the pictures
• Current MOT expires 6 September 2022

The Interior

• Cream leather
• Completely unmarked
• Everything works as it should
• First aid kit still in the boot
For a well-used car, cream can be a brave choice for the upholstery. Easily marked, it takes a lot of maintenance to keep it looking fresh. Here, however, we can see just how charmed a life this car has lived. For the comfortable cream leather seats look almost as good as new, the wood veneer is unmarked and even the carpets look like they’ve just left the factory. (The latter point is helped by rubber mats added over the carpet items to ensure that they continue to look pristine).
The headlining is clean, secure and taut and all of the buttons, switches and dials function as they should. This includes the radio (with automatic aerial) which is the only thing that’s not completely original on the car, having been swapped for a replacement unit when it came out of storage. The air conditioning blows cold, and the first aid kit is even still present in the boot. In short, it looks almost new.

The Exterior

• Stunning Sapphire Blue
• Regularly polished
• Cross spoke wheels
• Chrome mirror caps
Finished in a rich hue known as Sapphire Blue, the car is a real stunner. The paintwork has a deep lustre, the panels are all straight and there’s mirror-like chrome work to match. Some of its condition can be attributed to the care of the current owner who has polished it any time that it’s been out in the rain during his and his father in law’s ownership. But prior to that it must have been used very gently as there’s almost no signs of use. Underneath it’s the same story, with little to show for its age.
There are a couple of non-standard additions: the cross spoke alloys were an expensive option specified when the car was new, and the chrome mirror caps were added by the seller’s father in law who employed a main dealer to fit them at considerable expense. The wheels are pristine and wear tyres that have plenty of tread all round, although with such limited use it’s possible that they may be a little past their best before date at this stage. In all, though, it’s in remarkable condition and will justifiably make its next owner very proud.

The Mechanics 

• Pristine engine bay
• Starts and runs faultlessly
• Ready to be enjoyed
As you’ve probably deduced from the condition of the rest of the car, it’s clearly not had a hard life. So it’s no surprise to learn from the seller that it drives as well as it would have done when it was new. Always kept on a trickle charger, it  starts first time and ticks over almost silently. It drives with supreme smoothness and the owner reports that it’s the quietest car that he’s ever driven.
Under the bonnet, it looks almost new and, indeed,  the tool kit that is under the bonnet is still wrapped in cellophane. A discolouration of the list of fuses is the only downside to what is otherwise a supremely well preserved car.

Summary

Almost like new, this is surely one of the finest surviving examples of an X300 XJ6. You’d be mad to miss out.

Come funzionano le offerte massime

Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.

Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.

Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.

Incrementi di offerta automatica

  • Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
  • Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
    • Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
    • Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Ammontare dell'offerta Incremento
Da £0 a £9,999 £100.00
Da £10,000 a £49,999 £250.00
Da £50,000 a £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Superamento immediato dell'offerta

Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.

Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.

Offerte massime di pari ammontare

Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.

Pre-autorizzazione

Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.

Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?

Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.

Problema con l'offerta

Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
