Northridge, California, United States
Condition:Used Country/Region of Manufacture:United Kingdom

An XJ40 / XJ6 In very good condition. 67.5K miles. Original paint. 

Some dings and minor scratches--normal stuff; one dent under the rear bumper on the small lower panel, noticeable when looking at the rear from a distance: Estimates to fix whole body to 'like new', including dent, dings, and scratches, range $1-2K.

1994 is the first XJ model year built with input from Ford Lincoln Motor Co., the last XJ built with design input from Jaguar's co-founder Sir Williams Lyons; the first Jaguar with airbags; the only XJ with no glovebox(!); the last and most reliable XJ40 model year ever built, according to Car and Driver.

Appears in a forthcoming Happy Madison feature film (2017). 

I love driving this car.  Drives great . . .   
The interior, like the exterior, is near perfect, looks great . . .  
  • The plastic faux wood face of the ashtray (center console), and that of the upper sunroof/reading light console, are cracked and broken - I keep the ashtray lid in the open position, and try to not to look at the upper console.  Good luck with this fix, should you tackle it . . . 
  • The interior roof lining should be replaced, as it sags (I've temporarily 'installed' staples to keep it from sagging; fix = <$600). 
  • Tires are Pirelli, on their way out, maybe 3-5K miles left.  
  • 'Refrigeration' system works on high setting only, needs attention.  
  • There's a slight rattling noise coming from the left front quarter on bumps, can't locate source--needs a professional evaluation, I think non-vital hardware is loose and needs to be tightened or secured.  
With just a bit of love this car is showpiece ready, even without a paint job--which is original.  All hoses and belts replaced this year.  Smog good in CA through early 2017.

OEM chrome wheels with black 21-spoke inlays are rare, and basically in 'like-new' condition. There's a CD changer in the trunk, which is huge (the trunk)--twice the capacity of 1995+ XJ models., until 2006.

I've loved this car a lot . . . a rare iconic Jaguar Jade Green Metallic; a silvery blue green hazel--even prettier in person. Those stylish square headlamps, like crystals . . .
