Fresh from a recent €14,000 restoration by the prestigious Modenese coachbuilder, this car showcases all its extraordinary qualities in the best possible way. It is beautifully presented in an attractive and elegant dark blue colour scheme, combined with a reupholstered leather interior. The salesman informed us that the driving experience is just what you would expect from an XJ6: exceptional.
