This Jaguar XJ Series 1 (1968-1973) got away, but there are more like it here.

1971 Jaguar XJ6

Sold for $12,450 on 3/7/19

This 1971 Jaguar XJ6 is a Series 1 sedan that was reportedly ordered new in London while its first owner was on vacation in 1969, and was acquired four years ago by its current owner. The car is finished in Regency Red over blue leather and powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission. Work under current ownership included a repaint in the original color as well as fitment of new subframe mounts, fuel gauge sending unit rebuilds, an air conditioning recharge, and more. This XJ6 is offered by a repair shop on behalf of its owner with manuals, records from new, period photographs and documentation, and a clean Nevada title in the owner’s name.

The car was refinished in its original Regency Red under current ownership according to the seller, who points out that it features British-market headlights but does not include US-market side indicators.

Repainted stock 15″ steel wheels feature chrome hubcaps and are fitted with Hercules all-season tires. The condition of the paintwork and trim is shown up close in the gallery below.

The cabin is trimmed in replacement blue leather with matching carpets and features a burl wood dash panel as well as roll-up windows. A replacement grey headliner has been installed. There is no carpet on the driver’s side floor. Detailed photos of the interior trim, Philips AM/FM radio, and switchgear are included in the gallery.

The instruments are shown in operation in the video above. Approximately 12k miles are shown on the 5-digit mechanical odometer, with total mileage unknown. The seller notes that the air conditioning system has been recharged and that working electrics include the running lights, high/low beams, wipers, heater fan, and indicators. The map light is said to be inoperative.

The 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with dual Stromberg carburetors, and a cold start video is provided above. A 1971 federal emissions label is visible in the engine compartment. Service under current ownership included installation of new cooling hoses, an electronic ignition unit, and a fresh battery. The brake master cylinder was rebuilt earlier this year. The seller notes that the fuel gauge is not operational and that fuel sending units are not working.

The current owner also had new subframe mounts, handbrake pads, and other braking components installed. Additional photos of the underside are provided to show the floors, suspension components, and more.

The car is offered with records said to date to new, period photographs, and period documents such as a bill of lading dated in 1971.
