I think I am becoming fanatical about my Jaguar, I even dispatched my hubby off last Sunday to do a three hundred mile trip to pick up another XJ6, just because the owner was going to scrap it.
Help me. I need help. I am turning into a Jaguar.

The truth will always come out, or so my mother always told me. The truth has finally come out. I LOVE MY XJ6.
A 3.4 Auto in Metallic Green, with a fawn leather interior,on an old W plate. She will happily go from 0-60 in about 6 seconds, or so Im told, I've never been brave enough to try it myself. She has four doors and enough boot space to fit enough luggage in for a month on holiday.
She looks good, she sounds good,she smells good, and boy ... ...years ago for the princely sum of £500.00, with six months MOT and two months Tax. Since then she has had a reconditioned engine fitted, £600.00. A lovely new interior, £400.00. Auxilliary carbs, £250.00 ouch, a full set of tyres at £46.00 each,and a brand new exhaust £450.00. The next project, is to put a Lpg conversion on to her at a total cost of £1200.
Why? Do I hear you cry, have you been stupid enough to spend all this money on a car that ...

Jaguar XJ6
The jaguar xj6 is undoubtedly my most favourite of all cars. The sleek exterior makes them a real eye catcher and even with so many other cars on the road today, people do still have a good look at the xj6. They are fantastic for long distance driving as they have the engine sizes (2.9, 3.6 and 4.0) to cope effortlessly. And with the amount of leg room, comfortability is achieved too.

If you look after it, then it won't let you down. You can actually buy them privately for quite reasonable prices too nowadays. And mileage isn't really an overall issue either, as I said mine's done over 213 thousand (in about 12 years) and still going strong.
Of course if you really want to buy a new one then the prices start at a staggering £39,000. Think I’ll stick to my ...

Advantages: A lot of car for the money. Beautiful smooth drive. Roomy. Power to spare. Disadvantages: Not a lot. Well, heavy on fuel.
...my late uncles Mark 10 Jaguar when I was only knee high to a grasshopper. He was what in those days would be called a "gentleman farmer", and used to change his Jaguar for a new model every January 1st, (nice if you can afford it!) so I was privileged enough to be ferried around in some really classy machinery as a wee fella, even if my own late father's budget would only stretch to cars like the Ford Anglia and Triumph Herald. ~ ~ For the past six ... ...to actually purchase a used Jaguar XJ6 of my own for use as my taxi. With this idea in mind I've been assiduously trawling through all the second hand car websites like "Autotrader" and "Exchange and Mart" looking for the right car at the right price, alas without too much success. The first thing you have to realise when you go looking for a used JaguarXJ6 is that this car has been around for a LONG time, the first models rolling of the production ...
