Auction description:
Lot number 120
Hammer value £3,200
Description Jaguar XJ6 4.2 S3 Saloon
Registration B200 WWW
Year 1985
Colour Westminster Grey
Engine size 4,235 cc
Chassis No. SAJJAALP3CC413657
Engine No. 8L172995H

Supplied new by Appleyards of Harrogate in April 1985, this particular S3 has the 205bhp 4.2-litre engine and comes in a lovely shade of Westminster Grey with a matching hide interior. It has covered some 126,300 miles to date with 16 service stamps but was fitted with an exchange unleaded engine rebuilt by Jaguar specialists VSE in August 2000 at about 110,000 miles. It has also been fitted with an LPG system for improved economy.

The current engineer owner bought the car in 2002 and it has wanted for nothing during his 11 years' ownership and has always been kept garaged - though to be fair, it hasn't really needed much as he and his wife have used it on high days and holidays only, clocking up a mere 3,000 miles during this time.

Recently fitted with new tyres all round and said to drive superbly, it comes with a fitted car cover, a large history file and is taxed until the end of October with an MOT until July 2014. Only reluctantly being sold due to a knee operation which means that the vendor can no longer get in and out as easily as he once did, this elegant and cossetting saloon surely has years of useful life left in it.

CATALOGUE AMENDMENT; Please note that the vendor has advised us that the LPG conversion has been electronically disconnected but is otherwise in full working order.
