1986 Jaguar XJ6

Description

The 1986 Jaguar XJ6 was part of the Series III luxury saloon family, a refinement of a design originally introduced in 1968. Styled by Pininfarina, it featured a lowered roofline, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced interior comfort compared with earlier models. Powered by Jaguar’s smooth 4.2L inline‑six paired with either a manual or automatic transmission, the XJ6 balanced performance with traditional British refinement—such as wood-and-leather craftsmanship. Updates over prior versions included better fuel injection, upgraded suspension, and improved reliability.

This 1986 Jaguar XJ6 was sold new by Regency Motors of Montclair, New Jersey, and is finished in black over Biscuit leather upholstery. The 4.2L inline-six is backed by a three-speed automatic transmission, and braking is provided by power-assisted discs with inboard-mounted rear units.

The car rides on 15” wire-spoke wheels and features a power-operated sunroof, polished trim, dual fuel fillers, and tinted windows. Inside, pleated seating surfaces are complemented by wooden trim on the dashboard, center console, and door panels.

This 1986 Jaguar XJ6 is now offered by the selling dealer with a service booklet, manufacturer’s literature, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Oklahoma title.
