Sellers description:
Its not everyday you see a documented from new Series 1 XJ6 for sale. In rare "Faded primrose" she is probably one of the nicest examples left today. For the true enthusiast this is the jag for you!
This series one came from California and found its way to the classic car collection of our local barber, who unfortunately passed away. He was meticulous about his cars as evident in this gorgeous Series 1.
After his passing I purchased this XJ6 from the estate. Since then we have gone through the fuel system front to back including cleaning the fuel tanks, new fuel pumps, cleaned entire system , and professionally rebuilt the original carburetors. We serviced and flushed the cooling system, and did a complete tune up including spark plugs and wires, filters, oil change, etc...
She floats down the highway as if on a cloud, as they were meant to be. She has only 93k+ original miles and documentation back to new at he dealership in 72'. The 4.2L I6 and 3sp auto are as strong as when new. Everything seems to be in great original working order except the clock, temp gauge, and front passenger window motor. The original woodgrain and leather are in remarkable shape for a car this age. The original "Faded primrose" was resprayed in the early 1990's and is absolutely stunning. She turns heads everywhere she is driven, just as I'm sure she did 40+ years ago.
This Jag needs to go to a true enthusiast who will ensure here love and care through the years.
