Summary

For sale is a 1977 Jaguar XJ6 sedan in the long-wheelbase version, finished in British Racing Green with beige leather interior. The vehicle was originally delivered in England and imported to Austria, where it has been in continuous family ownership since 1977. Fifteen years ago, the car was painstakingly assembled from two XJ6 vehicles and restored; the original engine was replaced with a Jaguar replacement engine from the 1980s. Most recently, approximately 20,000 EUR was invested in extensive workshop repairs, including a carburetor overhaul, replacement of the control units, repair of storage damage, and restoration of the fuel gauge—the vehicle comes straight from the workshop. Known issues include a seam that has come apart on the passenger seat and a malfunctioning central locking system. With a valid Austrian TÜV inspection, an H-license plate, a 2021 appraisal valued at approximately 20,000 EUR, and a complete ownership history dating back to its initial delivery, this Jaguar XJ6 offers a rare opportunity for enthusiasts of British classics.
