Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 1985
Specifications
Description
The Series III established itself as one of the best Jaguars of all. In fact, in its review of June 1980, Car and Driver magazine described the Series III as being as 'slick as the inside of Faye Dunaway's dressing gown' - and you can't be fairer than that!
For many people this svelte classic was the last "real" Jaguar and, since its demise in 1993, the company has struggled to produce anything that looks quite as good without descending into the realms of pastiche. Yes, the Series 3 continues to define what many people think of as a Jaguar, with that slim, airy roofline and beautiful curves around the headlights that, in steel, only intensive hand-finishing can produce.
It may even have crossed your mind, when one of the dwindling number of surviving cars drifts past, that it might be nice to own a Series 3 XJ before they become expensive to own unattainable.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- This car underwent, arguably, the most expensive Series 3 restoration in New Zealand. It was restored by the Surgery and over $140K was spent on its restoration. Every cent, every part is recorded and a comprehensive full restoration history is available, and comes with the car. This includes invoices and a detailed breakdown of everything that's been done on the car. In our 15+ years of trading, we have never come across such a detailed restoration on one of these.
- Interior – That 'gentleman's club' feel of the cab interior is wonderful and in pretty much perfect condition, save some light hairline cracks in the wood, in the centre console, which is pretty common on these cars.
- Engine – These Six-cylinder engines are tough and can rack up six-figure mileages easily with good maintenance. This car has excellent oil pressure and compressions and car runs and drives like a dream.
- The Body is Rust free and laser straight. Paint is beautiful.
- Comes with Electric Sunroof
- Imported from the UK, this car was first registered in New Zealand on the 4th of June 2019
