• Low mileage of 58,760, stated as correct by the seller

The Appeal

The XJC was Sir William Lyons’ passion project. He envisioned a relaxing four-seat grand tourer to rival the best from Europe. Perhaps he knew it would be the last Jaguar to benefit from his direct design and development input because it took time to get the details like the pillarless windows absolutely right.

Built in small numbers for just three years, these beautiful cars are amongst the rarest Browns Lane products of the last 50 years. Just 2,606 RHD 4.2L XJ6 left the works, including this lovely Regent Red example. We’re told that it is a low-mileage car which was acquired by the current keeper 10 years ago. Since purchase, the seller has used the car just once a year on trips to the UK, yet ensured it has been annually serviced and maintained.

We are told that the car has never been restored; however, alongside routine attention, it has received some useful investment. It was resprayed in the original colour eight years ago. The vinyl roof, Webasto sunroof and tan leather seats were replaced more recently. Thanks to the sparing use and dry storage, each element continues to present very well.

Described by the vendor as a good, usable and presentable car, this XJ6 Coupe offers an appealing blend of style and usability.
