Auction DetailsSeller Type Trade

Appealing metallic bronze over beige colour scheme
Will be sold with a fresh Revisione in line with Italian legal requirement
This lovely Chestnut Bronze metallic XJ6 4.2 is from the end of the production run when quality was much improved and its luxury Sovereign wooed its first buyer.
It has been in the care of a single keeper since 2010 and is registered with the Automotoclub Storico Italiano. It has been stationary for the past two years due to the previous owner's age, it starts, brakes, and shifts gears without issue.
Some cosmetic work, such as restoring the roof upholstery and refreshing the interior wood, could enhance its appeal further. Overall, this Jaguar is complete and in good shape, making it a worthy candidate for restoration or enjoyment as-is.
