The most recent safety inspection report (pink slip) was issued in July 2024. The tyres were replaced in July 2024 at an indicated 82,250 km by St Marys Tyre and Wheel Centre. The seller notes that the tie rod ends, wheel bearings, and shock absorbers have been replaced. Jaguar XJ6 4.2 is stylish classic luxury saloon, finished in an elegant colour scheme. Boasting a characterful 127kW 4.2-litre straight-six and benefitting from a recent safety inspection, it would make a smart addition to a collection of British classics.
