Launched to a disbelieving world in 1968, the Jaguar XJ6 still ranks as one of the most significant cars ever made.

Its astonishing standards of handling, comfort and silence, coupled with the traditional Jaguar attributes of performance and value for money, immediately made every other car on the road look over-priced and old-fashioned. 

Jaguar refreshed the XJ range in 1973 with the introduction of the Series II. The new car featured a sleeker new body shell which had a slimmer front grille, new front air intake below the bumper, new lights and a revised interior. At first both short and long wheelbase versions were available, however all cars carried the long wheelbase after 1975.

Initially the entry-level Series II used the basic straight-six 2.8-litre lump. From late 1974, this rather lacklustre 140bhp engine was replaced by a much improved 3.4-litre, the extra 21bhp being a welcome addition. Never the best seller in the range, it was always the 4.2-litre that took the lion's share of production.

This 1977 3.4-litre Auto comes with a comprehensive service history showing 19 stamps in the book. Described by the vendor as being in perfectly usable condition, it has covered 72,000 miles from new and is MOTd until February 2016. Ready to use and improve, it won’t be too long before it joins the ranks of the tax-exempt and looks like a great deal of fun for not much outlay.

Today these graceful, powerful saloons are becoming increasingly collectable and are finally gaining the respect they have always deserved.
