Default A big hello to everyone from Adelaide Australia.

I have been a Jaguar owner for many years.

1984 Cobalt Blue Sovereign 4.2 bought new from United motors in Adelaide.
1985 Burgundy XJS HE from Solitare in Adelaide.
1988 Solent Blue Sovereign 5.3 from WT Motors in Adelaide.

I have not owned a Jaguar since 1999 but have my eye on a nice Solent Blue 6.0 XJ12 from 1994. Is this the XJ81, I don't see it in your Jaguar model list? Did I miss it?

I had a great run with my Jaguars and the 1988 V12 was IMO one of the best cars that was ever made. I expect the 1994 V12 to be of the same standard if not even better with the 6 litre engine.

I will put up some pix when I check your size requirements.

Welcome to the forum,

Just can't keep away from those Jags!

I'm not an expert on the XJ classifications but you may be right about it being an X81, wouldn't that put it in XJ12 land?

Yes, it is an XJ12.

Your XJ6/XJ12 Jaguar model section lists the models as from 1969-1987.

Is there a section for the later model (1994) XJ12's?

Eddie

Hi Eddie,

Your right, I just realised and came back to edit my answer, It looks like you fall into the "other Jaguar models" category the XJ81 was a pretty short lived model.
