Ebay item 11/29/15
overstockoutlet.com, 34k miles.

Sellers description:
As pictured, 1971 JAGUAR XJ6 for restoration. Dual Carbs 6 cylinder automatic. Only 35k miles, stated as original from previous owner. Been in storage for the past 15+ years. Did fire with starting fluid, but no other attempts to get it to run. Rolls fine, brakes work. Really nice body and interior. Great find. Clear title. Sold strictly "as is" with no warranty. Must be picked up in Dalton WI, about an hour north of Madison WI. You will need to trailer the car, I can offer some loading assistance.

Bought this from an elderly gentlemen who purchased it from the original owner in 1979. Claims miles are original at 35k. Been in storage for 15 years. Battery dead. New 'used' tires. One of the previous owners moved the side view mirrors forward to the fenders like the 60's models had. I bought this several months ago in hopes of restoring it as a driver, but have another project now and need the garage space. It fired up with starting fluid, I pulled the cover on one of the carbs and it was very clean. Did not notice any 'varnishy' gas smell in either tank. Looks like it may have been properly stored. I have not had a chance to work on the car aside from the initial once over when it arrived. The tires hold air and this car rolls great and stops like it should. If I had a bigger garage, I'd keep it. It's a beautiful car in and out. I'd have to give it a 9 out of 10. Not perfect, but a good project car.
