The first Jaguar XJ was launched in 1968 and the XJ designation has been used for successive Jaguar flagship models ever since. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder. The Jaguar XJ (X300) was manufactured between 1994 and 1997 and was the first XJ produced entirely under Ford ownership and can be considered an evolution of the outgoing XJ40 generation. Like all previous XJ generations, it features the Jaguar independent rear suspension arrangement with the design emphasis on improved build quality, improved reliability and a return to traditional Jaguar styling elements. The X300 was stylistically intended to evoke the image of the more curvaceous series XJ. The front of the car was redesigned significantly to return to four individual round headlamps that provided definition to the sculptured bonnet. Mechanically, it was similar to the XJ40 that it replaced. Six-cylinder X300s are powered by the AJ16 inline-six engine which is a further enhancement of the AJ6 engine that uses an electronic distributor-less ignition system.
Registered new on the 1st of January 1996 and originally registered 'N461 WOE', the XJ6 offered has the 3. 2-litre straight-six engine with automatic transmission. Finished in the attractive and desirable colour combination of Carnival Red Metallic paintwork with Mushroom leather interior upholstery, 16-inch wheels complete the exterior appearance. A low mileage example having covered just c. 47, 000 miles from new, the Jaguar has had seven former keepers and has recently benefitted from being fitted with two rear exhaust boxes, as well as brake discs and pads in 2020 and cooling system attention in 2018. Only on offer due to the purchase of a Sovereign, the Jaguar is offered with a history file that contains documented service history, previous MOT and MOT history, invoices for servicing and parts and a current V5C document. Rated by the vendor as being ‘very good’ throughout (bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, and interior trim), it is accompanied by the apt registration number ‘XJI 4115’. It is due to be provided with a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale.
