Sellers description:
Rust Free and Great Running Cotswold Blue/Tan Leather 1972 Series 1 Jaguar XJ-6, 1 owner Jaguar, all original, matching numbers Jag and runs very well. 61,363 miles. This Jaguar has been garage kept its entire life and has zero rust and runs and drives excellent, motor blows absolutely No smoke and has plenty of power and shifts as it should. Starts every time and has always been very reliable. Original radio, Tool kit and interior, although the drivers seat bottom was replaced ten years ago leather has no tears but shows its age with patina. New Perelli tires, new Boge shocks all around, and new stainless steel dual exhaust pipes(3 years old). Brakes have plenty of life and have been bled yearly, calipers still wear there original silver paint and have no rust. E. brake holds like new. Front suspension joints have been greased as well as all drive train grease able joints. Power steering is tight and works well with no noise or issues. Air Conditioning works well. Paint is Very tired and has bad crazing: on the roof, the rear quarter tops, and front fender tops. Hood paint is nice and would shine. No dents in sheet metal or chrome, no body filler at all. Despite the bad condition the paint is in, it still looks nice from 10 feet. Chrome is in excellent original condition. Windshield has 1 chip not in or near the driver's view and the windshield gasket being original is in bad shape as is the rear window gasket. The gaskets are available from after market manufacturers for $49 each. Windshield chrome trims in very good condition. All other rubber seals such as door seals have been replaced over the years and are in very good condition. Drives straight and stops straight. Has plenty of throttle left at 90 m.p.h.on the highway a great touring car.
This vehicle only needs a decent respray in its original Cotswold Blue to be very desirable, as it is a beautiful color which means a whole lot.
I will have it tuned (points) this week, and have the center drive shaft support bearing replaced or repaired this week as well. The drive shaft has knocked once in a while on take off for some time now but will be corrected.

I drove it 38 miles today to visit a family member and enjoyed every minute topping 80 mph a few times. This Jag does not leave a fluid puddle after use.
