Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 Sovereign 1985
Specifications
Description
When introduced in 1979, the Jaguar XJ6 Series III was not immediately to everyone's liking.
Despite an expensive redesign with its Pininfarina styled roof, and refreshed cabin, some Big Cat enthusiasts felt that it was taking liberties with the classic looks of one of their favourites.
In fact, the Series III set out to rectify some of the deficiencies of the Series II, and was better equipped for everyday use. In addition to new body panels, the new model had an increased amount of glass, and a much-needed additional 3in of headroom in the back - great if you're being chauffered! External differences included flush door handles, vertical grille bars, revised 'Gothic' rear lamp clusters, and impact bumpers with decorative chrome along their top edges.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- A very nice, original example of this model – great colour combination
- Have owned in our collection for many years now in which time its been seldom used and well maintained.
- New Battery
- I have to pinch myself every time I see it¦has to be one of the prettiest cars ever made, and sounds like a spitfire going down the road!
- Good straight, rust free body with beautiful paintwork
- Air condition & Sunroof – Highly optioned model.
After early doubts were allayed, the Series III established itself, as one of the best Jaguars of all, with the injected 4.2-litre coming out as the pick of the crop.
This is a great model – lovely and smooth to drive. In fact, this great saloon car saved Jaguar from ruin and went on to be one of its most popular models.
Will be sold WOF’d and Registered.

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.
