The seller offers for sale this 1996 Jaguar XJ6 Executive, powered by a 3.2-litre straight-six engine, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The car is finished in British Racing Green metallic over a beige leather interior with burr walnut trim, and shows 258,500 km on the odometer. As a well-used example of the model, the car displays visible signs of wear consistent with its mileage and age, both in the paintwork and in the interior upholstery, and could benefit from some cosmetic and mechanical attention.

Introduced in September 1994, the Jaguar XJ (X300) was the last XJ saloon developed before Ford’s full ownership of Jaguar reshaped the model’s engineering, and it marked a deliberate return to the flowing, traditional Jaguar saloon styling after the more angular XJ40. The X300 range was offered in a number of trim levels, from the entry Executive specification of this car up to Sovereign, Sport and the supercharged XJR, all sharing the same classic four-round-headlamp front end, generous chrome brightwork and a spacious, wood-and-leather cabin that continued the formula first established by the original XJ of 1968. The Executive specification brought Jaguar saloon ownership within reach of a wider audience while retaining the model’s core character.

Under the bonnet, the AJ16 straight-six engine family replaced the previous AJ6 unit, bringing a distributor-less electronic ignition system and a reputation for smooth, durable running. Allied to a four-speed automatic gearbox, the powertrain is tuned for effortless, refined cruising rather than outright pace, in keeping with the XJ’s role as a comfortable, well-mannered saloon. The independent front and rear suspension continues the long-running XJ formula of combining a supple ride with composed, secure handling, while the cabin’s leather seating and burr walnut veneers give the car a traditional, gentlemanly character that has kept the X300 generation popular among Jaguar enthusiasts looking for an usable classic saloon.
