Description from the seller
FEATURED
• Supplied with a Federperiti Certificate of Conformity
• XJ version with 6-cylinder inline engine
• Leather seats in beautiful condition
• In its original factory color
• Black Florence license plates
HISTORY/OVERVIEW
The 1978 Jaguar XJ6 belongs to the Series 2: a design that remained faithful to the original concept, updated with a redesigned front end and bumpers, and, above all, powered by the famous XK-family inline six-cylinder engine.
The example offered here is from 1978 and is presented in its original factory color, with a completely original leather interior that is still in beautiful condition today. The mileage is stated to be Carfax-certified: details that help you imagine the pleasure of finding an XJ6 in precisely the configuration that best reflects its role—as a large saloon to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, surrounded by leather and wood and accompanied by the unmistakable smoothness of Jaguar’s six-cylinder engine.
EXTERIOR
The bodywork is presented in its original color. The paintwork was restored by the previous owner and is now in good overall condition, with only minimal marks consistent with normal use. The chrome is bright and well preserved, as are the various original details that help maintain the model’s distinctive appearance. A professional polishing and detailing treatment was also carried out recently, further enhancing the bodywork’s shine and the car’s overall presentation.
The underbody and chassis are generally in good, solid condition, with no signs of accident damage noted.
INTERIOR
The interior is well preserved and in excellent condition, with minimal signs of use. The cabin is complete, presentable, and usable. The dashboard retains its central instrument cluster, and every detail is carefully finished and well maintained. The dashboard is also in good condition, including its original wood veneer. The entire cabin has recently undergone professional sanitizing and cleaning.
MECHANICAL
The original 4.2-liter engine was recently restarted after a long period in storage in a private collection; the clutch and automatic transmission are also working properly. The roadworthiness inspection expired before 2018. The car is running and can be driven on private property; however, as with any classic car, a general check before its next roadworthiness inspection or regular use is recommended. A new battery has just been installed.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
