Jaguar grasped the nettle bravely in 1986 with the launch of an entirely new XJ6 - code-named XJ40. The new XJ's outward similarity to the old one masked a host of improvements: a simpler bodyshell constructed from fewer panels; new advanced anti-corrosion technology; increased passenger and luggage space; and revised suspension giving superior ride and handling. Two new six-cylinder engines replaced the long-running XK series; these were the 3.6-litre, 24-valve, twin-cam AJ6 already seen in the XJ-S and a 2.9-litre single-cam unit. In the early 1990s, these two were replaced by AJ16 24-valve units of 3.2 and 4.0 litres capacity, both of which would find their way into the updated X300 Series introduced for 1995.
Embodying the Jaguar traditions of grace, pace, and luxury, this XJ6 3.2-litre saloon has covered 63,000 miles from new. The accompanying service record consists of 17 stamps, the most recent relating to a service by marque specialists Jagutek of Ely (new brake pads all round and new tyres, etc). Benefiting from a recently repainted bonnet and roof, this is a tidy car that presents nicely and drives very well. This superb modern Jaguar comes complete with its original wallet and handbooks; two sets of keys; and a V5C Registration Certificate.
