1996 Jaguar XJ6 3.2 Sport Auto First Registered 19/4/19 For Sale

This car belonged to my brother who had a really bad stroke and passed away recently, hence the sale. I’ve located a folder containing many invoices for service and other works, about £8, 500 worth, with most of the original MoT certificates for the life of the car. Current MoT expires 12/ Apr/ 2018. The original book pack includes security codes and the service record has 16 stamped entries up to 103705 miles. Mileage is 119600, verifiable by checking through all the documentation available with the car. The V5C is in my brothers’ name showing 7 former keepers. I don’t know what it’s worth but £1200 is the asking price. All genuine offers will be given serious consideration.

This description includes good and bad points discovered by me, a non expert, while driving, inspecting and cleaning the car. Adverts limit the number of photo’s used so if you want to see more let me know your email or WhatsApp address. Viewing is encouraged.

To enable viewing I moved the car to my home in Telford, Shropshire driving approx. 65 miles from Ripley in Derbyshire. The car hadn’t been used for approx. 3 months. I made the usual fluid level checks, added some air to one tyre, started the car, all the dash lights going on and off correctly, and drove home without issue in a very pleasant cabin. The engine ran at normal temperature with mid range oil pressure showing on the dash mounted gauges. There was no smoke visible on start up or throughout the journey (reported by my following driver). The auto gearbox operated as expected in its selections, as did the kick-down. Steering and brakes performed well giving no cause for any concern and the ride was smooth with no annoying knocking or squeaky noises.

It’s a good looking car in an attractive light blue colour with light grey leather interior trim. All the windows are electric and work as they should except the front passenger side which is a bit slow. The original radio cassette with multi CD attachment (located in the boot) work but I haven’t been able to get the electric aerial mast to extend so the number of radio stations available is a bit limited. This car was never fitted with air conditioning so no troubles to report there. The heating / ventilation system responds to all the buttons and knobs. The dash mounted clock does not work but the trip computer gave all the readout information expected. All the lights are functioning correctly as is the wash / wiper. The locking system, including remote, performs as expected although there is only one key / remote available at this time. If another is located at a later time I will forward it to the new owner. The car has a sliding steel sunroof installed which works as expected. The driver seat shows signs of wear (no rips or tears) and may benefit from the application of some leather treatment. The carpets have overmats where all appear in good condition. I believe the interior can otherwise be fairly described as being in better than average condition, showing no signs that it has ever been smoked in, or carried pets. However, an unsightly scar exists in the headlining above the rear passenger seat area. Gaffer tape has been applied across nearly the whole width of the car and without removing the tape, I’m unable to identify what lies beneath but I’d guess a tear. It’s mostly invisible to the front passengers and from outside the car. Even sitting in the rear seat doesn’t necessarily reveal it. I wasn’t aware of it until I was cleaning the inside of the rear windscreen.

Externally, first sight of the body panels suggests a very solid, clean and straight car. Making a slower pass shows a number of areas, common to these cars, where rust is bubbling; some where repairs have previously been made. Additionally there are a couple of areas where the lacquer is lifting. The wheels are undamaged but the appearance would be improved by refinishing. The tyres are all in good condition with lots of tread. The spare, housed within the boot, is a full size matching alloy with good tyre and the tools, jack etc., seem to be complete including the locking nut key. The battery, also located within the boot, appears to be recently manufactured and holding good charge. Rubber seals on doors, boot, bonnet and windows look mostly undamaged and still fresh.

I jacked the car up providing me limited space to make an inspection of the underside of the car. A waxy substance has been applied although there are areas not well enough covered to provide protection from salt etc. Due to the application of this waxy substance I am unsure if the O/ S rear shock absorber is leaking. I suggest readers take it as confirmed. On both sides of the car, neat welded repairs have been made to areas of the sills where they extend into the lower front wheel arch areas with a couple of areas of the floor adjacent the sills. The exhaust system appears to be very serviceable throughout its length although one of the rear mounts has a bolt missing (MoT advisory 004). This is not difficult to access for correction. One of the heat shields has been wired in place around the exhaust but it’s no less effective for that. I could find no oil leaks from the rear diff unit, changed a few years ago according to the documentation / bills. The associated UJ’s have been copiously greased as noted in the requirements of the maintenance schedule. Although the underside of the engine and gearbox are not entirely dry of oil, no leaks were visible and there were no drips forming. I found the handbrake fulcrum joints quite dry so applied squirts of oil onto them. Both front wheel bearings have slight play. The O/ S side element of the rear bumper mounting has corroded away. This is located rearward of the rear wheel arch and behind the bumper. Wire has been wrapped around the remains of the mounting replacing the otherwise missing support element (MoT advisory 001). Brake discs and pads look serviceable and performed satisfactorily during my period of driving the car.

The specification for this car includes: driver and passenger airbags, safety belt pretensioners, engine immobiliser, alarm, remote central locking, electric windows, electric mirrors (heated), steering column reach and tilt adjustment, electric seat height adjustment, intermittent wiper (vehicle speed related), door guard lights, remote headlamp convenience, bulb failure monitoring, deadlocking, electric sliding steel sunroof, remote boot release, front and rear fog lamps, PAS and ABS.

If I haven’t put you off with the length of this description and you have an interest in purchasing the car please get in touch. Thanks for reading.
