No Reserve: One-Family-Owned 1974 Jaguar XJ6L

This 1974 Jaguar XJ6L is a long-wheelbase example that was reportedly purchased new by the seller’s father. It is finished in Primrose Yellow over tan leather and powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car was inherited by the seller in January 2020, and subsequent work has included re-sealing of the cam cover, rebuilding of the carburetors, and servicing of the brakes and fuel system. This XJ6L is now offered at no reserve with owner’s manuals, recent service records, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.

The two-spoke steering wheel wears a leather cover and frames a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The five-digit odometer shows just under 16k miles, approximately 50 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
