C from Amsterdam | Jaguar XJ6 3 Series 1980
Hi All,
So nice to be officially part of this Forum. Since yesterday i'm the proud owner of a Jaguar XJ6 3 Series 1980.
I'm new to this brand, 8 years ago I drove 2 XJ6 1991's and that was nice. For now, I found this car at: www.marktplaats.nl an local (ebay).
This Jaguar was for sale as a 'driving project'. Its been rented out for weddings and the company had to cut vehicles as they had to move from garage. (14 till 8 cars) and the jaguar could leave!
Yesterday it was a perfect evening in Holland - Amsterdam:
The car drove very nice. Its having some issues as the seller told me:
- No Airco
- No left fuel tank (Dismounted)
- Blower on of work around
- Radio doesn't turn on
- Clicking feeling when turning the steering wheel
- Rough Idle -> Injector maybe?? (stoot still most of the time).
It has it 2 yearly (Dutch rules) check and it still has 14 months of APK (= Dutch Check).
I look foward to learn more about electrics and fix small things myself.
Note: I know that theres an 2 SERIES front, don't ask me why! but it is like this haha!
Kind Regards,
Cyriel

Hello, Cyriel,
What a Beautiful example of a Series 3!! What wonderfully clean lines they've given it.
I absolutely Love that bumper treatment, especially the wrap-around rear!
I'll look for you over in our Xj6 section where Graham has directed you.

Yours appears to be an XJ6 Series 2 bumper with the over riders fitted upside down.

HI All,
My housemate with his VW GOLF 4 R32 supercharged made a nice movie. We put the OSMO (camera with built in stabilizer) on the back of his car. This is the first drive after we bought it:

I've copied your YouTube video to XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III forum.

Not many members return to an Intro thread once they've read or replied to it.
