Hi to the group
About 6 months ago I bought a 1986 xj6 sedan,
The car came from the Orange region in New South Wales and apart from a little bit of rust in the bottom of the two left hand doors is in quite good condition.
I got a unregistered vehicle permit and drove it back to Sydney with now issues, It is only running on the left hand tank at present, looking into the right hand tank with a torch it looks very sad. When time permits I will remove it and sort it out.
The jag has just over 500km on it and has a stack of money spent on it over the years, it was last registered in 2012
The air con has a issue with not holding gas but but other than these two issues the car runs fine, I have done a full service/fluid change on it.
I now have it on NSW club rego so I can drive my pride and joy.

Hello, Nigel,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar, which many of us (admittedly biased) feel is the Prettiest of all the Jaguars!
I'll look for you over in our Xj6 playroom.
Hi there
It is a series 3 I have wanted one ( xj6 ) for the last 40 years but family and life sometimes get in the way.
Not wanting to upset anyone but I am biased to the shape of the series 1 to 3 shape, I knew a couple of people with series 1 in the mid 70s and fell in love with them.
I was having trouble finding a good rust free one in my budget ( my days of body repairs are over due to health issues ) and spotted this one that has spent the vast majority of its life in the country so I bought it.
