The Attractions
Jaguar XJ40s are so comfortable and luxurious that it is often forgotten that they are also great sports cars. Most examples were produced with automatic transmission, so few owners have had the opportunity to discover their true qualities.
But here we present a perfect example to discover their second nature. In fact, this XJ6 equipped with the extremely rare manual gearbox allows the driver to appreciate the dual soul of this classic with great qualities, luxurious and elegant but also extremely dynamic. Because an XJ40 is as comfortable as it is lively.
Finished in the popular Bordeaux Red Metallic colour scheme combined with a cream leather upholstered interior, this XJ6 presents itself as a very well maintained car in very good condition. Important areas such as the wheel arches, sills, window frames and underbody present themselves very well.
This car has only had three owners since new and the MOT is valid until November 2026.
An opportunity not to be missed for a classic saloon enthusiast.
