1990 Jaguar XJ6 2.9 Litre

This example is finished in Diamond Blue with timeless tweed interior with wood veneer accents. Optional upgrades include a sunroof. These cars were also offered as standard with climate control, power windows, central locking, cruise control and a premium sound system. Performance wise, it features the 4-speed automatic transmission and 2.9 straight-six engine. 

Mileage is recorded at 31,464 miles on the ODB at the time of photographing the vehicle. 

The car comes with ample history and service records. We counted 12 stamps in the service book and a plethora of receipts for various work completed on the car over it’s 34 year lifespan. The most recent MoT’s are clean and free from advisories. 

We started the car and moved it back and forth. We can tell you that it starts well and without hesitation and we saw no signs of any smoke or unwanted noises upon start up. The autobox behaved well, selecting gears with ease. 

The exterior of the Jaguar XJ6 is near flawless. We saw little to no dinks, dents, folds or stone chips on the vehicle. There is unfortunately a small patch of what appears to be corrosion making it’s way through the lower offside front sill and there is a slight crease where the bonnet meets the front grille. Other than that though the XJ6 is looking flawless.  The panel alignment is excellent with the doors and boot lining up exactly as the manufacturer intended them to do so. Furthermore, the alloy wheels are in great condition for their age too.

The glass, seals, lights and badging around the Jaguar present remarkably, they are crystal clear with no fading or cracks that we saw. The story is the same with the brightwork on the exterior, as these are subseptable to pitting after elongated periods of time. 

Underneath the XJ6 shows little to no sign of any corrosion that we saw, which is surprising given that these are subseptable to rust. We can see from the paperwork that the car has been treated with Waxoil. 

The interior of the Jaguar is well appointed with tweed seats apposed to the leather and a cockpit that puts an emphasis on comfort and luxury. There are buttons within reach of the steering wheel that operate the lights and trip computer. Lots of these XJ6’s were specified with a leather interior but we are informed that the first owner was conscious of the leather marking his suit so opted for the timeless tweed option instead. A smart choice in our opinion, as there is nothing more fitting for such a vehicle. 

As you open the door to the XJ6 you are instantly greeted by the overwhelming high quality materials and finishes, something that has in part been lost on modern day vehicles. High quality leather and wood veneer trim grace the interior and if that wasn’t enough, the Jag even smells as if it’s a new car, not one that is 34 years of age. 

The seats, front and back are in excellent shape and show no signs of any wearing, even in high traffic areas such as the side bolsters. Behind the two front seats, tucked into the headrests are two reading lights that are a nice addition, especially if you have the pleasure of being chauffeured at night. 

The headlining, carpet, floor matts and door cards are inline with the rest of the vehicle and show very little signs of any wear or fading that we saw. We are informed that all the electronics within the vehicle are working as they should do. The windows go up and down without fuss as does the sunroof. An important feature in the 90’s as air conditioning was still relatively new, of course, being the epitome of luxury at the time, the Jag came specified with both. 

From looking over the engine bay, everything appears to be in good order, with no signs of any leaks that we could see. The Jaguar starts instantly without hesitation and idles well with no unwanted noises, blue or white smoke exiting the exhaust. We are informed that it selects gears well and is an absolute pleasure to drive. 

The car has been very well maintained and looked after over the years. We counted approximately 12 service stamps in the book from Jaguar and specialists. There is a vast amount of paperwork that varies from receipts to MOT’s. Throughout the years there has been a vast expenditure to ensure that the car has been kept in the best condition that it can be, both mechanically and visually. 

If you’re in the market for a pristine British automotive icon then you should look no further. With low miles, excellent bodywork and an equally excellent interior, this has to be one of the cleanest XJ6’s to grace the UK market at this time. 

We are happy to offer this vehicle for auction with an estimate in the range of £5,000 - £8,000.
