93 K Jag xj6 green 70k ish £550 some crap pics.

[kinkersaab]

NO pic as yet, but trying to thin my fleet have sold my R plate jag, taken back this beauty.

Wheel trimz F.T.W. Also beige cloth.

the enthusiast i am getting it from has had it sinse 29k and i expect it to be mechanically A1. (fussy lad)

The mot runs til april 2013 and its taxed until next august. Greyish geen in colour and a very original looking old thing it is, with frilly bits on bottom of front wings, all looked solid enough that if you hit it with a hammer it would dent rather than hole.

I expect to get it monday, so will ammend this then and add a picture or two.

2.9 manual is it for bonus shite points?! I was tempted by one of these too, but not sure it'd fit in my garage so got the Beemer instead.

[kinkersaab]

sorry to dissapoint, 'tis a 3.2 auto.

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

Good to see another XJ40 on here! - I'd have thought there would be more XJ40s than there are on Autoshite, given what you get for the money. I have a '92 Sovereign with the small engine too. I look forward to the pictures.

[kinkersaab]

right, i have done over 2000 trouble free miles in this old girl. NO issuses!

 

it has now done 88000miles, there is a full history and loas of reciepts. rust is pretty much all on leading edges of front wings, and nothing like as bad as i was expecting, its all still touch upable with a wee bit of paint and easyily enough disguisable. I havent really bothered. engine box and all mechanical stuff seem faultless. except intermitent clock and elec arial, all elecs seem to function properly. I have been averaging 23mpg, but did manage 28 on a run south and back. tax is until end august next year, mot end april from memory. i see no reason it wont sail another. interior is although not leather, in spotless condition. her are some shit pic for your perusal.

Nice buy! Clock? They all do that sir. Arial is helped by using a generic cleaning wipe but do it upwards, not downwards as it forces cack into the jointy bits.

[kinkersaab]

ah, just to clarify, it is still for sale, I haven't bought it off myself.

[triumph1300]

This really looks quality. I can't believe jags are worth so little. I wish I could buy this! Glws

[mk1_4dr]

That does look like a HUGE bargin. Are those interior lights in the back of the seats?

[Morgan84]

Sat on some nice Lattice alloys,that would look a really nice car,which with some tlc is getting ready to become a nice future classic.About 15 years ago,you couldn't give a series 3 Jaguar away - now look at what they can fetch;with these XJ40's,its a case of buy now to avoid future dissapointment

[purplebargeken]

Whoops, got my wires crossed there Try the arial tip though, 'tis a well known issue.

 

I've had a fair few XJ40's and loved 'em. This one is a beaut and a complete bargain.

Couldn't agree more!

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

This looks a lovely old thing. If someone wants to fit leather seats from a 1993/1994MY Sovereign, it is a very easy job. All XJ40s have the same loom, so the wiring for electric seats is there already. You just need the control modules which plug in infront of the seats - and the centre console with the switches too, of course. The interior looks in excellent condition though, so I'm not sure I'd bother.

A faulty clock is standard fare on the X300, but fairly unusual on the XJ40.

 

Provided the rust isn't a problem (look on the sill to floor joins and the bulkhead - late cars can rust badly there) then there is no catch to running these. They're strong reliable cars, cheap to insure and quite frugal for their size. XJ40s will never be cheaper. They can rust like buggery though.

[Skizzer]

That's very sweet, especially for the money; I love the velour interior. One Jag is enough for me though. GLWTS...

[aldo135]

You interested in a swap for a Montego http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C325349

[kinkersaab]

hmmm, possibly. and how much folding stuff? is the heater working yet?

[aldo135]

Haha have a think about it! Car is ok just fancy a change. Heater works ok, I'm maybe a bit slow but didn't get that! Needs an autoshite carpet headlining as the current one is sagging a bit!

[kinkersaab]

£300 my way plus the tego and i will deal.

[Morgan84]

The Montego is more money than the Jag ! A few years back that would have been unheard of

[aldo135]

Hahaha I'd need the £300 for fuel to bring the jag down the road! Thanks for your generous valuation, think I'll leave it, cheers

[kinkersaab]

The Montego is UP FOR more money than the Jag ! A few years back that would have been unheard of

E.F.A

[aldo135]

English Football Association? Just got the heater reference that's the gold monty! I have a red rover 1.6, that's about to be relisted on carandclassic.

WOOF! XJ40 base. Very nice.

The best looking XJ40s, in my opinion. Far nicer than having the ugly "fishtank" headlights and a leak-inducing sunroof

[Guest]

Get out of here Dickie! Square headlamps FTW. True '80s style, like Joan Collins shoulder pads.

Yeah - that's the way - make your executive saloon look like a Talbot Horizon

[ashmicro]

Gotta say I prefer the rectangular lamps.

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

A Forty needs Fishtanks! - They're just not the same without them. Agree over the sunroof though - they're terrible!

[Guest]

Aye, sunroofs. FTB.

 

Has nobody bought this wreckage yet so I can move on with my life?

[Lankytim]

Don't suppose you want a Saab 9-5?
