The XJ6 – code named X-300 – launched in 1994 was the start of the comeback of the great old brand with an injection of some $500 million by Ford.

The X-300 arrived after eight years of the previous XJ40. While it was an all-new model the X-300 used the same platform as its predecessor. That aside every other external panel was new, the result being a much more modern and definitely more athletic shape than the XJ40.

At once it looked elegant, yet sporty, and recalled the great old Jaguar sporting saloons.

Like all XJ6s the X-300 is a large car with sumptuous Connolly hide that covers the seats and the classic burr walnut trim that contributes to its olde worlde charm.

ABOUT THIS CAR

• One of the most beautiful colour combinations - stunning car.
• Straight, clean body with very good paintwork.
• Under the deeply sculpted bonnet lay a 3.2-litre double overhead camshaft straight six.
• A four-speed auto processed the punch on its way to the rear wheels.
• Underneath the X-300 rides on independent suspension at both ends, the front made up of unequal length wishbones, coil springs and an anti-roll bar, the rear using double wishbones and coil springs.
• If the suspension was familiar Jaguar the speed sensitive ZF rack and pinion steering was new at the time and much welcomed for its precision when compared to the older model.
• Powerful four wheel discs slow the heavyweight cat with ease, and there’s the added safety of ABS.
• As expected of a car with a price tag approaching $150,000 the X-300 came fully equipped with air, leather, remote central locking, trip computer, cruise, and dual front airbag.
• Boot area - like never used.
