Jaguar XJC 4.2 1977
Specifications
Description
Think of two-door Jags and you immediately remember the XK sports cars, E-type, XJ-S and, of course, the XK8. But a sumptuous, two-door XJ6 was made briefly during the mid 1970s, and despite its short lifespan and undoubted exclusivity, it never caught the imagination of classic car lovers¦until recent that is.
Apart from being a fine grand tourer, that was much more practical, roomier and easier on the eye than the XJ-S of the same era, the XJC is a classic cat that every Jaguar enthusiast should have in his collection.
It's an XJ6, which means amazing modernity after almost four decades. Rolls-Royce-beating ride and sports car-like handling that stunned the world all those years ago and can still impress today.
In terms of performance, the 4.2-litre six is adequate for today's roads and will propel the car to 60mph in under 10 seconds. Expect around 20-22mpg, too. Naturally, the coupe XJC loses a bit of practicality over the saloon, but the big doors make for easy access.

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.
