"A Jaguar that performs as expected and been spared from rust and requires no direct action to drive."

Description

This Jaguar, the final year model of the MK 1, was first sold in Sweden in 1973. The car has had a few enthusiastic owners who have taken good care of it, and there is plenty of documentation available and included in the sale.
Because the current owner believes she doesn't have enough time to use it, she wants it to go to someone who is passionate about it and has the time to properly care for it.

Facts about the model

Serie 1 (1968–1973)

Jaguar XJ6 serie 1.
Serie 1 av XJ lanserades i september 1968 under namnet XJ6 och ersatte därmed merparten av de fyra sedanmodeller som Jaguar saluförde. Namnet "XJ" kommer från bilens kodbeteckning under utvecklingen och står för Experimental Jaguar. Serie 1 av XJ var den sista Jaguarmodellen som företagets grundare, Sir William Lyons, deltog i utvecklingen av.

Bilen hade Jaguars berömda raka sexcylindriga XK-motor med antingen 2,8 eller 4,2 liters cylindervolym. Under näst sista modellåret, i juli 1972, lanserades XJ12 med den 5,3 liter stora V12-motorn som tidigare introducerats i E-type-modellen. Framifrån kan en XJ12 lätt identifieras på kylargrillen som enbart har vertikala ribbor i stället för övervägande horisontella och ett mindre antal vertikala ribbor, samt på det V-emblem som återfinns strax under Jaguar-logotypen i grillens ovankant.[1] Det fanns två växellådor att välja på. En fyrväxlad manuell, som kunde beställas med elektrisk överväxel, och en trestegs automat.

Daimler-varianten Sovereign introducerades i oktober 1969,[3] och i september 1972 introducerades toppmodellen Daimler Double Six Vanden Plas. Double Six var ett gammalt Daimler-modellnamn från 1920-talet och indikerade att motorn var en V12, och Vanden Plas betydde att bilen fått framför allt inredningen uppgraderad av Vanden Plas i London. Denna modell hade separata stolar i baksätet och finare detaljarbeten än övriga modeller, men framför allt var det den första modellen som hade den nya karossen med det längre axelavståndet. Baksätespassagerarna fick här knappt 12 cm mer till godo, vilket rättade till den utrymmesmässiga nackdel som XJ-modellen haft jämfört med 420G-modellen som den ersatte.

En månad senare, i oktober 1972, kunde samtliga XJ-modeller utom de med 2,8-litersmotorn beställas med det längre axelavståndet. Dessa fick tillägget "L" på modellbeteckningen och benämns ofta long wheel base (LWB) till skillnad från short wheel base (SWB).

Totalt tillverkades 98 527 exemplar av XJ serie 1.
