Description:

1988 Jaguar XJ6 3.6 Sovereign
1988 Jaguar XJ6 3.6 Sovereign four-door saloon, VIN SAJJHALH3AA538918. Finished in Regency Red (burgundy) metallic. Rear-wheel drive, powered by the 3.6-litre AJ6 DOHC 24-valve inline-six petrol engine paired with ZF automatic transmission. Odometer indicating 279,510 kilometres. Seating for five. Personally imported vehicle, complied September 1995 under Approval No. 21069/1. Located at Altona, VIC.

Description / Overview:
The XJ40 is the car Jaguar bet the company on, and the Sovereign specification is the top of the range: deep burr walnut veneer throughout, Connolly leather upholstery, electric memory seats, separate climate control, and the AJ6 3.6-litre engine that transformed Jaguar's reputation for reliability. This car presents well for its age and mileage. The burgundy paintwork is glossy and consistent across all panels, the chrome and exterior trim are all present and in reasonable order, and the door cards and rear seat leather are in good condition with original walnut trim largely intact.

The best thing about this car is the documentation. It comes with the original Jaguar green document wallet containing the XJ6 3.6 owner's handbook, Jaguar Mastercare service record booklet, Mastercare consumer guide, driveway service data card, and two original Jaguar keys. A Queensland Transport modification plate dated 1993 and a Queensland safety certificate are also present, along with an Alpine CDE-153EBT Bluetooth/USB head unit manual for the aftermarket stereo that has been fitted. That is a complete and well-preserved document set for a 37-year-old British classic.

The honest notes: headliner is sagging and will need re-trimming. Both front seats have sheepskin covers fitted. Engine number has not been recorded on the listing. The car is a personal import and was not sold new through an Australian dealer. An aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel and the Alpine head unit have replaced the original items. The 279,510 km odometer reading is high mileage by any standard, and a pre-purchase mechanical inspection is recommended.
