The Appeal

Part of the long-respected XJ series, the ‘84 XJ6 represented a significant facelift for the third generation of a highly successful car. The exterior, designed by Pininfarina, boasted slightly more subtle aesthetics without losing the grandeur of Jaguar’s dedication to the Luxury Saloon.

This example comes to us with only three owners from new, a highly attractive colour scheme that really brings out the car’s shape, lashings of chrome and that all-important Jaguar grille.
