Hello, I purchased my 1987 Jaguar XJ6 in crimson red with tan leather last fall as a summer weekend car. The car has 64K original miles. It is my first jaguar, but fourth European car (previously, I owned a few Saabs and Porsche). it's amazing the type of interest this car gets no matter where I bring it from kids to seniors. My son remarked the other day that he thought it was one of the nicest cars he had ever seen (of course he is 13 and is already thinking of driving soon). It is a true classic.

Unfortunately, it has sat for several years and time, the elements, and mice have done some damage. It is a fixer-upper for sure, but I couldn't pass it up the price I paid. I'm now in the process of going through the car and brining her a bit more up to date whenever I can find the time. The good news is that everything works down to the power antenna.

I'm glad to have found this forum and look forward to using it for reference, etc.

Hi Graham,

Thanks, and great point about the standard "XJ6", mine is a late series III. I believe one of the last off of the line, some of the dates I have found on the car show around September '87.

Hi Mike:
Nice looking car. Glad to know it's in a loving family! Welcome to the forum and greetings from the Midwest Region. Good to have another Wisconsinite on board!

Cheers,

Beautiful car!

 

Mike,
The Series III looks in fine condition. They don't last like that over here.
