Buyer’s notes
About the Jaguar XJ6 Series III
The Series III XJ6 of 1979 was restyled by Pininfarina, with a higher roofline and more glass, flush door handles and larger rubber bumpers. The 4.2-litre six gained fuel injection while the 3.4 kept carburettors, and six-cylinder production ended in 1987, when the XJ40 took over.
What moves the price
- Rust, which decides whether a Series III is a good buy or a costly restoration.
- Engine (3.4 or 4.2) and trim level.
- History: regular servicing on record, and the condition of the interior and electrics.
Before you buy, check
- The radiator support frame, front subframe, rear valance under the exhausts, boot floor and the windscreen and rear-screen surrounds.
- The inboard rear brakes and handbrake calipers, which seize on cars used little, and the rear radius arm mounts.
- Every electric window and switch, and the servo-operated heater flaps, which stick.
