JAGUAR XJ6 SERIES ONE 1 MANUAL OVERDRIVE TAX AND TESTED

UP FOR SALE IS MY GORGEOUS 1970 XJ6. 4.2 MANUAL BLACK WITH BLACK VINYL ROOF AND RED LEATHER.

I BOUGHT THIS IN ON A WHIM IN JULY AND WHAT AN EXPERIENCE ITS BEEN. NEVER HAVE I HAD SO MUCH FUN AND ATTENTION IN SUCH A CHEAP CAR.

I GUARANTEE EVERY TIME THE NEW OWNER DRIVES IT THEY WILL BE INUNDATED WITH PEOPLE STARING, GIVING THE THUMBS UP FROM THE BUS STOP, SHOUTING "PROPER JAG THAT MATE" ETC ETC ETC.

I REALLY  DON`T WANT TO SELL BUT I`M IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING MY HOUSE SO MY JAGS ARE MAKING WAY FOR A NEW BATHROOM. (SEE MY OTHER AUCTION FOR IMMACULATE XJ8)

I HAVE A FOLDER OF HISTORY INCLUDING MOT`S FROM 1981 TILL NOW PRETTY MUCH CONFIRMING THE MILEAGE OF 99, 700 ISH.

ORIGINALLY BEARING THE PLATE "FUG 11" SHE HAD THE SAME OWNER FOR 25 YEARS AND WAS OBVIOUSLY WELL PAMPERED.

THE GOOD BITS;

THE VINYL ROOF IS RECENT AND FAULTLESS.

THE RED LEATHER IS PRETTY GOOD, IT LOOKS ALOT BETTER IN THE FLESH THAN IN THE PICS WITH ONLY THE PASENGER SIDE SHOWING WEAR ON THE BOLSTER AND SOME STITCHING UNDONE. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY THE DRIVERS SEAT AND HAS BEEN SWAPPED OVER.

KENWOOD CD DESCREETY FITTED, ORIGINAL STILL IN PLACE, KENWOOD SPEAKERS IN ORIGINAL DOOR HOLES.

DESIRABLE MANUAL GEARBOX WITH OVERDRIVE

STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST

ALL BRIGHT WORK PRESENT AND IN EXCELLENT ORDER, ONLY MINOR SURFACE COROSION HERE AND THERE. 

NEW CLUTCH FITTED FOR LAST MOT

THE BAD BITS: 

THE PAINT IS POOR AND WOULD BENEFIT FROM A FULL RESPRAY ALTHOUGH PERFECTLY PRESENTABLE AND STILL LOOKS GOOD POLISHED UP. PAINT BROKEN IN PLACES.

EXHAUST BLOW ON MANIFOLD JOINT. SEALED UP TEMPORARILY.

ONE CARB WILL NOT TUNE UP, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM OF PERISHED SEALS AND EASILY SORTED.

SPEEDO NOT WORKING, POSSIBLY UNCONNECTED WHEN CLUTCH DONE.

ALL IN ALL THIS IS A FANTASTIC CAR, IF YOU`RE LOOKING FOR A CLASSIC JAG TO RESTORE OVER THE WINTER THIS IS A GOOD, EASY, ROLLING PROJECT AND DESERVES A COUPLE OF ££££`S SPENDING. ALTERNATIVELY IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING COOL THAT EVERY SEVENTIES BANK ROBBER WORTH HIS SALT DROVE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER AND DRIVE IT AS IT IS. THE RAT LOOK IS VERY IN.

ALTHOUGH AS I MENTIONED ONE CARB IS OUT OF TUNE SHE DRIVES VERY WELL AND HANDLES BETTER THAN MY XJ8. SERIOUSLY, THIS THING CORNERS FANTASTICALLY AND GOES LIKE STINK. A FRIEND OF MINE OWNS A RESTORED E TYPE AND WHILE HE WAS MESSING WITH THE CARBS HE COULDN`T BELIEVE HOW DRY THE ENGINE WAS COMPARED TO HIS.

I HAVE TRIED TO BE AS HONEST AS I CAN AND WILL TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ALTHOUGH I MUST STRESS I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND ALTHOUGH OWNING TWO JAGS I ONLY HAVE A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE SO PLEASE NO TECHNICAL QUESTIONS. YOU ARE WELCOME AND STRONGLY ADVISED TO COME AND VIEW. ANYONE WISHING TO BID WILL HAVE TO CONTACT ME AND LEAVE A NUMBER OR I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID. I`M NOT BEING FUNNY BUT I REALLY DON`T HAVE THE TIME FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK ITS OK TO MESS PEOPLE ABOUT AND THERE`S FAR TOO MANY OF THEM. NO IDIOTS TIME WASTERS OR FANCY SWAPPIN FOR A MINI METRO PLEASE. THANKS FOR LOOKING. DAVE 07881 937404

FORGOT TO MENTION THERE IS A FULL SET OF GOOD WOODWORK IN THE BOOT TO REPLACE DASH, DOOR TRIMS ETC

ALSO HAS A HIGH TORQUE COMPACT STARTER FITTED. FOR EASIER STARTING AND LESS BATTERY DRAIN

HAD CARPETS UP AND THERES DAMP IN PASSENGER FOOTWELL. APAARANTLY THIS IS COMMON IN OLD JAGS AND PROBABLY THE SCREEN SEAL.

MOT TILL MIDDLE OF MAY. NOT SURE WHEN TAX IS UP COS IM IN WORK BUT TAX EXEMPT.
