Just introducing myself.....from NJ/

Original owner of a 1986 XJ6 Vandan Plas.....64K miles......now on collectible insurance....wifey can't part with it.....one of these days she will give it up, but it does look beautiful when it is dusted off and taken for a run....have a few items to take care of...typical rust bubbles on wind screen, but now it never gets wet unless I hand wash it.

Welcome !! In my experience there is always a job or two to do on a Series 3 XJ6. I suggest you fix the rusting around the front screen, and this can get so bad it rusts through and allows water into the cabin. It is a design defect, as this car was never designed to take a glue-in windscreen.

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

If you haven’t already you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for. To do this go to, User CP, Edit Signature, Add Vehicle Details and such and Save Your Signature.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.

Hello all
East Coast Canada here.. I got into a Black 86 XJ6 a few years ago and I really found it was so amazing.. I dont think I'll ever sell it. Its an Awwsum hobbie to mess with and drive around. No-one looks at a Jagure with out getting a little excited about a car!
