SUMMARY

A rare long-wheelbase Series 2 Jaguar XJ6, factory-supplied with air-conditioning and now UK-registered. Offered without reserve.

DESCRIPTION

Background:
Launched in 1973, the Series 2 Jaguar XJ built on the success of its predecessor with subtle design refinements and mechanical updates. It retained the model’s celebrated ride quality and elegant proportions while adding improvements such as enhanced ventilation and the availability of factory air-conditioning. In long-wheelbase (LWB) form, the Series 2 gained an extra 4" in rear legroom, making it one of the most refined saloon experiences of its day. These later LWB cars with factory air-conditioning remain among the most desirable configurations, especially rare in right-hand drive export markets like Australia.

The Car:
This rare LWB Series 2 XJ6 left the factory on 26th May 1977, destined for Australia. Originally Signal Red over Biscuit, the car was not only in rare LWB configuration but also equipped with the even more sought after air-conditioning – important in the southern hemisphere.

The car comes with a huge history file chronicling its time in Australia prior to re-importation back to the UK in 2021. It is now UK-registered and is accompanied by a V5 along with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate.

The owner’s original plan was to restore the car to its former glory, but sadly a busy life and too many other projects mean that it has languished in dry storage ever since and now needs a new custodian.

The file attests that it underwent major work in the late 1990s and it appears to have done little since the mid-2000s. Paintwork is poor, but the body is actually generally very solid. There are underneath pictures in the gallery, along with videos of the underside in the video. Save for the odd hole in the rear valance, it appears solid – particularly around the arches and sills.

Offered without reserve, this represents a great blank canvas from which to work. The car is currently in storage with us in Warwick and viewing is encouraged.
