Picking up a new to me 1981 Jaguar XJ6 4.2 with 117,000 miles this coming Saturday. It has been sitting since 2011. The previous owner passed away and I'm buying it from his widow. I looked at it and it's very clean. I popped the fuel caps and the fuel is tarnished. The son actually started it and drove it around the neighborhood. It is running rough and pretty sure its the old gas. I will be trailering it home as to not damage anything with bad fuel. I plan on doing a major tune up and removing the fuel tanks to flush them out. I have been restoring and building street rods since 1992 but this is my first import. I'm not afraid to learn something new and not afraid to get dirty. I want to keep this classic original but will drive it regularly. One of my older hot rod mentors had one when I was shadowing him at his restoration shop as a teenager. I always loved that car. He passed away a few years ago but I learned a lot from him. This XJ6 reminds me of him so it will be dear to my heart.

 

Welcome.

Trailering it is so sensible.

Then do the standard catch up bits and pieces, an enjoy that car, they are awesome.
