1973 Jaguar XJ6 | Evesham, Worcestershire

A 1973 Jaguar XJ6, the big Jaguar saloon known for a comfortable ride and a long, low, formal shape. This is a Series 2 short-wheelbase car with the 4.2-litre straight-six, and it seats four. Sable brown paint sits over a cream interior, a warm pairing that photographs well. The car is in good condition, with mostly very good chromework. Its paperwork is complete: the original sales invoice, a fully stamped Passport to Service, period tax discs and 47,000 recorded miles. Classic Jaguar specialist Grantham Bridge has recently fitted a new water pump and spark plugs, changed the oil and filter, checked compression and refitted the original choke. A replacement headlining is already sourced for the interior refresh. Its long bonnet and formal profile suit period advertising, 1970s-set film and TV, and fashion or editorial shoots, while the brown and cream give a calm palette on camera. As a stately arrival car it works for events and music videos. Weddings and personal hires fit it too. It is based in Worcester.
