1987 Jaguar Xjs

Nimbus White with Mulberry leather interior and Deep Red Carpeting, 4.2 Liter Straight 6 Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed Automatic Transmission, 24,000 miles from new, Excellent Condition Throughout.

Final Year of the XJ6 series III with quad headlamps and chrome grille. The Jaguar Series III XJ6, produced from 1979 to 1987 was a redesign of the Series II. Italian design house Pininfarina was retained to update the design of the Series II, and succeeded very well. Offered in the base, Sovereign and Vanden Plas models, the Series III came to represent everything that was "Jaguar". The Series III retained the 4.2 liter six cylinder/BW66 combination used in the earlier series. The U.S. spec engine was rated at near 170 net horsepower. This power was channeled through the Borg Warner automatic transmission, then through the independent rear suspension to the rear wheels. The IRS unit was equipped with inboard brakes, with the brake rotors mounted to the output shaft of the differential. This produced noticeable better handling and ride. The new features introduced since the Series II were thicker rubber bumpers, door handles that were flush to the door, a vertical grill, narrower door frames with the option of a sunroof and cruise control. The flat gauges and flat dash panel were also replaced with a more contemporary instrument cluster

Factory options include: Burl wood Veneer, Dual Saddle Fuel Tanks, Electric Sunroof, Cruise Control, Telescopic Steering Wheel and Trip Computer plus upgraded with modern CD Bluetooth stereo head unit and Wireless Remote Door Lock/Unlock.

This XJ6 Series III was purchased new by a Physician in Texas and one can see has clearly led a charmed existence to date.

If you are seeking a classic Jaguar sedan and the final iteration of the iconic XJ, look no further. Comes complete with Manuals with Pouch, Jaguar Cassette Tape, Spare Wheel, Jack and Tools.
