Our Take:
- The 1977 Jaguar XJ6 coupe is indeed a rare find, especially in the United States where only about 200 were reportedly imported. As a classic British luxury saloon, it represented the pinnacle of Jaguar's grand touring ambitions at the time. It's a car that enthusiasts often seek for its combination of sophistication and performance.
- This particular model's factory optioned wire wheels and a wooden Nardi steering wheel add to its exclusivity. Wire wheels are a nod to classic British sports cars, and the Nardi wheel provides a touch of Italian flair—a blend that makes this coupe stand out in any crowd. It’s like vintage wine; each element adds a layer to its story.
- The XJ6 line was renowned for its ride comfort and handling, attributed to its innovative independent rear suspension. In the '70s, this was quite the engineering feat, offering a plush ride without compromising on the car's legendary road-hugging ability. Modern drivers might find it a bit floaty, but that's part of its authentic charm.
- A note on its cosmetic details: The paint-matched hardtop is an interesting twist, differing from the original black and adding an individualistic touch. The full floor replacement and new carpets mean it’s been cared for with long-term preservation in mind. While the small cracks in the interior might bother some purists, they’re part of the car's lived-in character—like crow's feet on a seasoned adventurer.
