"When stepping into this British, pleasantly rolling Gentlemen's Club, one is surrounded by: a silky smooth straight-six engine, automatic transmission, central locking, power windows front and rear, power mirrors, power seats for driver and passenger, sunroof, cruise control, onboard computer, power steering, stereo, front seat heaters, fabric carpets, leather upholstery, and an ACC climate control system. Everything works well and as intended in the late 80s. The senses are indulged, the engine and road noise barely audible but the music system is, the scent of leather fills the air, beautiful wood is in sight, one gets a taste of the fine world, and a sense of calm is felt. Here, one feels at home..."

Beschreibung

This car was originally sold to an English family residing in Oman (working in the oil industry), hence it's left-hand drive and kilometer odometer. After a brief period on the Arabian Peninsula, the car was brought back to England as part of their household goods. There, it was driven very sparingly, perhaps awaiting new overseas service in a right-hand traffic country, aside from the annual MOT inspection from 1988 to 2013, hence the low mileage.

Subsequently, the car was brought to Sweden and underwent registration inspection here on September 18, 2015. In recent years, it has received a complete rust protection treatment by Rostskyddsmetoder AB, new headlights, a new headliner, new tires, and a new battery. Service included new gasket for the valve cover and new spark plug cables. Additionally, new front shock absorbers, a new o-ring for the antenna, and a new mat in the trunk. Most parts were replaced due to prolonged periods of inactivity. All documentation, including inspection papers from England and Sweden, as well as instruction and service manuals, are included.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch:

    It starts easily and ran quietly and smoothly. During the test drive, it provided a stable, calm, and harmonious driving experience. Everything seems to work well, including the engine, drivetrain, brakes, and other technical components. It hasn't been inspected on a lift, but what could be seen appeared to be in good condition.

  • Zustand Interieur:

    Lovely "British style" with Mulberry Leather upholstery and beautiful wood, all in exquisite original condition. Picnic tables in the rear. The headliner has been replaced. All electrical components and gauges work flawlessly, and the air conditioning cools effectively.

  • Zustand Exterieur:

    Painted in Bordeaux Red Metallic, which appears to be in original condition and is in a nicely maintained glossy and polished state. There are a few small stone chips and scratches. However, the sunroof has been repainted due to some minor damage (likely from stone chips or something falling on it). Otherwise, the glass, chrome, lighting, and rubber details are in excellent condition. The wheels are in great shape with newer Dunlop tires. Both the engine and trunk compartments are clean and neat in their original condition, with a newer carpet in the rear due to water damage from a leaking power antenna, which has been repaired. Complete original toolkit is included

  • Zustand gesamt:

    The XJ6 and XJ40 models are plentiful. Narrowing it down to the Daimler versions, there are fewer available. In this fine, low-mileage condition, there are even fewer competitors. A unique history and a slightly rarer color combination with Bordeaux Red Metallic and Mulberry Leather Interior, along with the Daimler Sovereign's equipment featuring beautiful wood and picnic tables, make this a British icon. An intriguing and elegant classic, perfect for enthusiasts.

Fakten zum Modell

The XJ6 model was launched at the London Motor Show in September 1968 and became an immediate success. With one model, Jaguar moved ahead significantly. Several "old-fashioned models" disappeared, and in their place stood an affordable, modern, and attractive car. Order books quickly filled up, and once again, the epithets pace, space, and grace were synonymous with Jaguar. The following year, a more luxurious version named Daimler Sovereign was introduced. If the cars also had vinyl roofs, they were also given the name Vanden Plas in addition. In 1972, a version with a 12-cylinder engine, the XJ12, and an extended L version were introduced. The following year, the Daimler version also received these attributes. This model became the last one in which the company's founder, Sir William Lyons, participated in the development work.

For the 1974 model year, the Series II was introduced with some changes, such as a new grille and higher bumpers, etc. For the 1980 model year, the Series III was introduced with an update by Pininfarina. Although there were not many visible differences at first glance, there were many small adjustments that provided better space, more glass areas, less air resistance, and a more modern image.

On the technical side, the proven basic concept continued with, among other things, cast iron, but with better performance and, above all, lower fuel consumption. For the 1987 model year, a more extensive upgrade was introduced, which also received a new model name, XJ40. In addition to a new body, which was still unmistakably recognizable, the interior was upgraded. The new J-gate shifter and new instrumentation were added. New engines of 2.9 or 3.6 liters, now with both block and head in aluminum, were introduced, reducing weight by 25-30%. The Daimler version had its characteristic grille and a bit more luxury. XJ40 is often considered the last true Jaguar before Ford and Tata took over.

A total of 208,733 units of the XJ40 were produced, from the model years 1987 to 1994.
