2003 Jaguar XJ6 | Crawcrook and Greenside, Tyne & Wear

A 2003 Jaguar XJ6, the six-cylinder version of Jaguar's long-running luxury saloon. This generation moved to a lightweight aluminium body while keeping the long bonnet and low, sweeping roofline, and it is liked for a quiet, composed ride. XJ saloons have also carried British prime ministers. This car is finished in blue with a cream interior, a soft pairing that sits well against stone, brick and greenery. It seats four, and the pale cabin stays bright in shots taken through the windows. Its 2003 date places it squarely in early-2000s scenes. The formal, understated shape suits advertising and corporate films, TV and film work set in the 2000s, and fashion or editorial shoots that need a refined British saloon. At events it makes a smooth arrival, as the long body and cream interior show well when a door opens. Weddings and personal hires are a natural extension of that. The car is based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne & Wear.
