1995 Jaguar X300 XJ6 3.2 Sport Automatic
Finished in the Rare Turquoise Metallic with the Oatmeal Sport Leather
Current MOT until 27th March 2016
Reverse Parking Sensors (Rare Option)
Located in Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12 Post Code.
A reliable example of the X300 XJ Sport. Bodywork needs TLC, but perfectly useable as it is and still gets plenty of admiring glances.
Specification includes: Automatic J-Gate Gearbox, Full Oatmeal Sports Leather, Electric Front Seats, Birds Eye Maple Wood Trim, Colour-Coded Front Grill, Electric Windows x 4, Electric Door Mirrors, Climate Control, Premium Sound System, CD Changer in Boot, Multi Function Steering Wheel, Trip Computer, 16" Dimple Sport Alloy Wheels, Remote Central Locking, Alarm & Immobiliser, etc.
AJ16 / 3239cc / Straight 6 / 24 Valve / 4 Speed J-Gate Automatic / 218 BHP / 140 MPH / Rear Wheel Drive
The engine is mechanically spot on - always starts first turn of the key with no hesitation. Idles in the correct manner. Temperature sits at half way all day long. Uses no excess oil or coolant. No fluid leaks. Gearbox is solid and the gear changes are smooth and effortless. Mechanically, the car does not miss a beat. Will need a couple of anti-roll bar links, due to knocking over potholes. Blow on exhaust. MOT until end of March 2016 (will at least require front brake flexi hoses for MOT).
On a steady run, will easily return over 30mpg. 22mpg around town, which is reasonable for a big old cat.
This Jag has been well-looked after by the previous owner, who had the car for 14 years. He was a retired Jaguar engineer, and did all servicing and maintenance himself at home. He had a diff fitted in 2011 at a cost of £700. I believe this is infact an XJR diff, as it lowers the RPM at higher speeds (I've had several of these over the years, and from experience these usually do 70mph at 3K RPM. This does 90mph at 3K RPM). Makes it slightly more economical.
New Number Plates and New Wiper fitted during my ownership.
Everything works as it should and there are currently no warning lights on the dashboard.
Interior is all solid and in one piece, but would benefit from a deep clean. Driver's seat side bolster is worn. They have the usual wear and tear marks, but no major rips or tears, Rear bench seat has got quite a few marks and cracks, so ideally could benefit from being replaced (around £50 from an eBay breaker). Centre arm rest has a patch missing. LCD Clock not working and Headlining is sagging (common X300 traits). Seats are very supportive and comfortable, making it an ideal long distance cruiser.
The bodywork has seen better days to be honest. Both rear arches have corrosion (although I have seen worse). Bottom of front wings, bottom of boot lid and the bottom of a few of the doors also have corrosion. The bonnet and roof have grazing in the paintwork. Front bumper has a scuff on offside corner. Cleans up well and still looks very presentable from a distance. Perfectly useable classic Jag. Can be used as is, or spend a few hundred pounds and get the bodywork sorted. You will then have a very good example of an X300 XJ Sport (not many of these left now, and the good ones are beginning to creep up in value!).
Comes with: 2 Keys / 1 x Remote Key Fob, Service Booklet with 6 Service Stamps, Jaguar Folder with All User Manuals, Current MOT and 9 Previous MOT Certificates, MOT History Printout, V5 Log Book
Sold as Seen - No warranty is given and / or implied. As with any car I sell, it has been described honestly and to the best of our ability. Any inspection / viewing is welcome and highly encouraged, as everyone’s opinion of an old car will differ (however, I will not entertain any timewasters, tyre kickers or test pilots - genuine interest only!). Once sold, vehicle is 100% responsibility of the new owner. No returns.
Please be realistic with your expectations - it's a 21 year old Jag that needs TLC for less than a grand, not a concours example for £8k+.... If you want a new one, then go to your local Jaguar dealers and pay over £60k for it!
