The Salon Privé Sale 2017
1975 Jaguar XJ6 Coupé
Lot No.: 270
Registration: HEK 4N
Chassis Number: 2J.1314BW
Engine Number: 8L13765-S
Number of cylinders: 6
CC: 4.2
Year of Manufacture: 1975
RHD/LHD: Right Hand Drive
Estimate (£): 16,000 - 20,000

This stunning example was the subject of a total body restoration during the 1990s and appears to have been dry stored ever since. The restoration was of the engine out, gearbox out, glass out, bare metal repaint variety and whilst the body was undergoing preparation, all the suspension and ancillaries were rebuilt, or where necessary, renewed with Jaguar parts. In effect, this car has undergone a total nut and bolt rebuild with full details in the ownership file. The history file also includes consecutive MOTs from 1987 through to the current day which corroborates the mileage of just 78,000.

The restoration is ageing well, with the Old English White paintwork retaining a good shine and the shut lines look factory fresh. The Everflex roof appears nicely stuck down and all the chrome is excellent. The deep red leather seating is gently patinated, the dashboard is excellent, and the red carpets are in good order. A wood rim steering wheel lifts the cabin and the original radio and 'Super 8' cassette player (complete with Abba cassettes) are available to complete the look should it be preferred to the modern one currently fitted. Lightly used by our vendor for almost four years, during which period it has covered only 3,000 miles. It has been fully maintained by Jaguar specialists during this time, with around £3,500 recently being spent on a new radiator and overhaul of all the electrics and brakes.

An ideal opportunity to acquire a well-restored example of a limited production British luxury coupé with excellent investment potential.
