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

DISCLAIMER (PLEASE READ)
NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
