A review of my 1982 Jaguar XJ6 Series 3. This great saloon car saved Jaguar from ruin and went on to be one of its most popular models. Photos - Wikipedia
I had mine as a 30th anniversary present from my wife, just 2 weeks ago. We flew to London for the weekend to celebrate and picked the car up the day before our return journey to the south of France. It was a long but glorious journey, catching many an eye as we cruised across France. A wonderful gift, great car and lovely wife (who is not allowed to drive it). It was a fair swap, as I had bought her 30 red roses which were delivered to our kensington hotel suite! I really love her....and my wife isnt bad either lol!
We've been the 2nd owners of our 1987 Vanden Plas since 1989, which still sports its original paint and interior fittings. The most beautiful four door saloon ever produced, we knew it was a keeper the day we bought it. To date It has given us 147,000 miles of near flawless service, with only careful regular servicing and replacement of wear items as necessary, and we do not hesitate to take it on any road trip. Drive 'em 'til the road wears out!
I drove a Series III XJ6 for many years as a daily driver. Great car. And reliable. Never once was I stuck by the side of the road. (For that matter, I've had 5 Jags and none of them have ever left me stranded). It's getting harder and harder to find a good Series III, though. Age, rust, neglect eventually take a toll
That was a really good, informative review. Thanks. I have a S3 XJ6 factory manual in Perth W.A. that has waited far too long for its turn to be recommissioned. This must be the year.
A really well done video that’s accurate, informative and calm. A real pleasure. Thank you from a Daimler Series 3 4.2 owner whose car is now at only 186,000 miles.
I just bought a series 3. Found a low mileage example locally for a great price. I have to pinch myself everytime I see it, gotta be one of the prettiest cars ever made, and sounds like a spitfire going down the road!
great review Mike. i have an '87 xj6 and it has been running great since i spent some money on it initially. A/C needed replacing and i replaced the leather on the front seats. i've had a few minor repairs since then but nothing major. i put about 300 miles per month on it mostly on beautiful back roads. very relaxing.
Lovely video thank you. I have a 1983 Jaguar XJ6 and it is a most enjoyable auto to drive and the pleasure grows the more one drives it. I think these cars were one the most stylish automobiles ever made. She's a real lady !
If only more car reviews were as balanced and sensible as this one. Thank you.
Very well presented, I have a Series 3 myself and I do not drive it a lot, but I feel confident It would not let me down. I am in South Australia.
There's something really special about these cars, just a timeless design and quality that endures!

She is a beautiful example! My dad's XJ6 was Burgundy and it drove forever. Thank you for preserving a timeless classic.
Excellent review.

Very nicely, well-presented profile of a great car, and extremely useful basic guidance for potential ownership. Many thanks, Mike!

Thank you for creating this video. I have been considering an older XJ. It's good to know the intricacies.
Brilliant car review of a brilliant classic... everything covered nicely... 👍
A stunning and elegant car. Great review!
Thanks for posting your interesting and informative video.
Wonderful, this review is so helpful I planned on buying the same 82 XJ6 myself.
