The Appeal

The Series 3 XJ6 was the final and most refined evolution of Sir William Lyons' celebrated saloon, pairing the 4.2-litre XK six-cylinder engine in fuel-injected guise with a level of comfort and presence that few contemporaries could match. It remains a thoroughly elegant way to cover ground in a classic car.

This 1982 example is finished in the striking combination of English green over beige interior, and is reported to be registered with the Automotoclub Storico Italiano. Purchased by the current owner in 2022 in its present well-kept state, it presents well throughout, with the vendor rating bodywork, paintwork, interior, and mechanicals all as very good. The paintwork is described as bright and shiny, and the interior shows only normal wear for its age. Accompanied by good service history and a current safety inspection certificate, this XJ6 4.2 looks like a tempting prospect for those seeking a usable and characterful classic Jaguar saloon.
