Classic Jaguar Series 2 XJ6 1979 Long Wheel Base. 4.2 litre.

CLASSIC JAGUAR 4.2 XJ6 LONG WHEELBASE Historic vehicle requiring no MOT and no payment for road tax, making this a very affordable car to own.Complete with private number plateThis car has had no expense spared on the upkeep and will be sold complete with bills for more than £15,000, including a full engine removal, strip down and rebuild in 2018/2019 with new pistons, replacement cylinder head, crank balance, etc. etc.The underside, sills and chassis have been treated with waxoil in 2019 and are in great condition.The engine starts on the button and runs silky smooth when warmed up, with well over 40 psi oil pressure all the time. No overheating issues, no leaks, knocks, rattles or bangs. The gearbox has also been maintained and is smooth and silent through the gears with receipts to confirm.Wheels and tyres are all in nice condition. Brakes have just had new pads fitted all round front and rear.Suspension joints have recently been checked/replaced where required with polybush mounts replacing the original rubber versions. New track rod ends, new rack bushes, new roll bar bush and arb link bush kits fitted this month (August 2021).The last MOT was carried out in July last year (July 2020) and a full garage safety check was carried out in June this year, resulting in the decision to renew all brakes, steering bushes, and any suspension components showing any sign of wear.At some point in the past the car had a respray and the wings and wheel arches were replaced, thereby removing the common Jaguar problem of rusty wheel arches full of filler. These arches are solid as is the underside of the entire car. Whereas the car looks perfect from a few feet away, it would benefit from a new respray as there are small micro blisters, chips and cracks in the paint which become apparent upon closer inspection.The leather interior is in generally good condition, the seats are big and comfortable, however, these too would benefit from a reconditioning treatment to make perfect.This car is in very good mechanical condition. It is reliable and can be used as a daily driver. Long distance trips are no problem and the car is entirely happy at motorway speeds and has no problem whatsoever in keeping up with modern day traffic.This car is a classic which needs no money spent in order to enjoy it from day one. The option to enhance it towards show standards are there, however, as can be seen from the pictures, it is a fine looking car as it stands and could be used as it is for years to come if so wished.I can be phoned on: 01843-590993 with any additional information required.This listing ends on Sunday 5th September at around 4:30pm.Thank you for your time.
