SUMMARY
Finished in Ascot Fawn with beige leather, this wonderful example of the now rare 4.2-litre Series I XJ6 with a manual gearbox epitomises the essence of the model.
DESCRIPTION
- Unveiled in 1968, Jaguar's XJ6 took the concept of the luxury sports saloon to another level
- The group's existing products - Jaguar Mk2, Daimler V8, S-Type and the 420G - all suddenly became irrelevant
- They were available with the XK-derived 2.8-litre or 4.2-litre, DOHC, six-cylinder engines, the latter offering 186bhp and 125mph
- This 1969 Series I was acquired by our enthusiast vendor around three years ago in need of a full recommissioning at the time
- Now completely ready to drive and be enjoyed, our vendor finds himself in a position where he has too many cars
- The indicated mileage of around 48,000 may well be correct judging by the many invoices in the history file which also contains the original Bill of Sale from Kennings in 1969 and some restoration photographs
- Series I cars are now very rare, manual gearbox with overdrive cars particularly so, and this smart Ascot Fawn example seems very sensibly guided
