1993 Jaguar XJ6

The XJ40 thus became the most researched vehicle Jaguar had ever produced, and the vehicle ushered in significant changes to how Jaguar cars were designed, built, and assembled. Among the many improvements was a 25% reduction in the number of bodywork panels required per car. The door to a Series III required three pressings whereas the door to the new XJ40 only required one. This resulted in a more efficient assembly process, a significant amount of weight saved, and an overall improvement in structure stiffness. In fact, the 1993 XJ6 earned the title of “Safest Car in Britain” as a result of a government survey. The platform from the original 1986 model was used for the 1994 X300 model as well as the 1997 X308 model, thus making the XJ40 platform the second longest running Jaguar XJ platform in the iconic car’s history with a production run of 17 years.

This XJ6 is finished in beige metallic paintjob that has been well taken care of over the past 30 years. The chrome on both the front and rear bumpers is straight and clean. Going down the side of the car, all of the panels fit smoothly but there do seem to be some scuffs mid-way down the driver’s door and rear door. The rest of the panels are clean except for the passenger side front quarter panel, which has a small indentation roughly the size of a dime. Both the hood and trunk lid are free of flaws, as is the roof of the vehicle. The sunroof still operates as intended, and all of the wheels are clean with only one sporting a very minor amount of curb rash. It is clear that this vehicle has been gently used.

The interior to this XJ6 was done with tan leather and comes absolutely loaded with beautiful wooden inlays. The seats look perfectly stuffed and wonderfully comfortable to sit in. However, there does appear to be minor creasing in both of the front seats, and some of those creases have begun to crack in the driver’s seat but it is nothing out of the ordinary. The passenger seat looks fantastic overall. The floor mats could use a deep cleaning, but there are no holes or tears to be seen in any of them. The leather rear bench is in excellent condition. Beautiful swirling wooden inlays around the interior are in wonderful shape and there are noticeable chips or scratches in any of the pieces. The door jams are all clean, and the center console does look ever so slightly weathered. Excellent care on the outside obviously continued inside as this XJ6 continues to show that it is in delightful shape.

The underside of the vehicle shows no major damage, and any corrosion appears to be minor and only surface level.

This vehicle has had 3 owners. Owner 1 bought the car new in Coral Springs, FL, put 6,049 miles on the odometer and then auctioned the car. Owner 2 is the seller, and he had the car from 1994 to 2020, the last recorded odometer check was in 2012, and at that time it read 47,939 miles. It must be noted that the Car Fax reported damage to the rear of the car in 2010, but that damage was fully repaired, as evidenced by the photographs. The seller transferred ownership to his wife in 2020, making her Owner 3. Having only accrued 54,232 miles over the course of almost 30 years, it is safe to declare this XJ6 has been very gently used. The seller told us its primary use was for running simple errands around town and not much else, which again explains the excellent quality.

The XJ6 is a beloved British car well known for its executive styling and supreme comfort, and today’s example is no different. This Jaguar is a clean example that has been very lightly used, and it is abundantly clear that this XJ6 has been lovingly cared for since being purchased by the seller. This is an excellent opportunity to snag a classic mid-modern British luxury car at a fantastic value, do not miss this chance.

We are pleased to offer this car for auction with an estimate between $10,000 and $13,000.
