AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful and well-running right-hand-drive Daimler XJ 6 4.2 litre Series 2 in luxurious Sovereign trim (136 kW = 185 bhp) from 1974, in the original green colour. A beautiful car with a lot of presence. This car came from England to the Netherlands in 1990. Due to its age it is exempt from MOT and road tax in the Netherlands.

DOCUMENTS:

The car has Dutch registration, and if desired it can be delivered with an EU export document for an extra 50 euros so that a foreign buyer can easily register the Jaguar. A COC / CVO type-approval can be supplied for an extra 70 euros.

The odometer reading has been fully verifiable since 1998. For completeness, the car received a “normal” Dutch registration in 1990, which was later officially converted to the current classic car plate.

BODYWORK:

The Daimler shows minor signs of use and looks neat, hardly stone chips, the underside is also neat, not perfect. See the photos. The car is already 28 years old. The nice alloy wheels are in good used condition, only minor damage is present; see the photos.

MECHANICAL:

There are no recent maintenance invoices available, and the car has been hardly used in recent years, which is also why it is being offered for sale now. A service is therefore advisable, which is natural for any used car. The car runs, brakes, shifts and steers very well, the right front brake tends to stick slightly, certainly due to the long period of inactivity.

INTERIOR:

The interior is neat and shows hardly any signs of use; see the photos. The door panels are in nearly new condition, as is the floor upholstery, the old radio works fine. The headliner is sagging a bit.

COLLECTION:

The car is located in Hengevelde, Netherlands
