The Jaguar XJ is the name of a series of flagship, full-size, luxury cars sold by the British automobile company, Jaguar. The XJ line has had a long history, with the first model released in 1968 known as the Series 1.

In late 1979, the XJ was facelifted again, and was known as the "Series III."

Using the long-wheelbase version of the car, the XJ6 incorporated a subtle redesign by Pininfarina.

Externally, the most obvious changes over the SII were the thicker and more incorporated rubber bumpers with decorative chrome only on the top edge, flush door handles for increased safety, a one-piece front door glass without a separate quarter light, a grille with only vertical vanes, reverse lights moved from the boot plinth to the larger rear light clusters and a revised roof line with narrower door frames and increased glass area.

In late 1982 the interior of all Series III models underwent a minor update for the 1983 model year. A trip computer appeared for the first time and was fitted as standard on V12 models. A new and much sought-after alloy wheel featuring numerous distinctive circular holes was also introduced, commonly known as the "pepperpot" wheel.

In late 1983 revision and changes were made across the Series III model range for the 1984 model year, with the Sovereign name being transferred from Daimler to a new top spec Jaguar model, the "Jaguar Sovereign".

The Jaguar Soveriegn was distingusihed not only by its classic beauty but also by its exceptional value. The same can be said for today.

Production of the Series III XJ continued until 1992 and this car comes with fuel injection, air conditioning (working properly), power steering, power braking and sunroof, trip computer, CD player / changer and pepper pot wheels.
