1984 Jaguar XJ6 Sovereign review from Australia and New Zealand
"Underpriced luxury car with great manners"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning failed and had to be replaced (reasonable cost reconditioned)
Rear drivers side window does not work.
Electric aerial has intermittent fault.
Speedometer stops working for a few seconds now and then.
General comments?
A real pleasure to own, this car is the subject of interest wherever I go.
Great power delivery, smooth as silk.
Handling is remarkable for a car this big.
Nothing but comfort and luxury inside, the climate control is a bonus in this country.
