Even in this condition, it looks vaguely exotic - a testament to William Lyons’ team and the ageless nature of the #JaguarXJ. The rustiest bottom feeders are mostly gone now, but it’s still common to see 70s XJs in this parlous state - restorations bring big costs unless you really know what you’re doing and they’re not all that valuable - in part because of those costs and also because of familiarity - the basic design lasted into 1992, though the XJ40 replaced the sixes in 1987.
-
The XJ6 (project name XJ4) was created to simplify Jaguar’s complex range - in 1965 it was building the Mk2, S-type, E-type, MkX, and the Daimler 250. The XJ6 replaced a big chunk of these cars - particularly the unloved MkX - and reintroduced economy of scale - Jaguar only sold ~25,000 cars in ’65. A prototype was running by May of ’66 and just a month later Jaguar merged with BMC and Pressed Steel, securing capital and squelching body issues with Pressed Steel. The production XJ6 debuted in September, 1968.
-
While almost everything was new, the heart of the car was old - the XK six was just fine for the new car, and it came in 2.8L or 4.2L form, with an overdrive 4-speeder or a Borg-Warner Auto. 1969 should have brought the new Walter Hassan- and Harry Mundy-designed XJ V12, but that engine was repeatedly delayed into 1972. Nevertheless, the XJ6, brought to the states only in 4.2L form and publicized by Lyons himself on TV, was a very popular car and rightly so. It looked great and offered effortless performance and luxury … if you could get one.
-
Although the S1 was better assembled than the S2, strikes (sometimes external - in 1972 a Miner’s strike saw power cuts to Brown’s Lane), supplier problems, and antiquated facilities often soured quality control on the XJ6 and sometimes halted production. Ill-fitting parts, poor paint, and other quality ills did not go unnoticed and the XJ earned an unenviable rep for driving beautifully - to and from the shop.
-
S1s are great cars to drive, but owners were largely left to sort the cars on their own - not always a happy time, and one that led to the rise of the Chevy V8 conversion. This one may see the road again, it’s not clear.
