First registered in Flintshire in June 1971, this particular XJ6 2.8 is the more attractive early short wheelbase version and is fitted with the rare manual overdrive gearbox option which gives it more spritely performance than the standard automatic. Spending much of its early life in Somerset, the car was treated to a bare metal body restoration in 2003 and repainted in its original Wedgewood Blue. The current vendor acquired the car in 2004 and has used it regularly for attending shows. It also successfully completed the London to Brighton Jaguar run every year between 2005 and 2008, a round trip of over 200 miles each time. Described as being in very good condition throughout with a particularly nice light blue leather interior, it is said to drive beautifully and is MOTd until October and taxed until April 2012 (tax being free, of course). These are really wonderful cars to own and we can't help feeling that they are currently somewhat undervalued.
