1990 Jaguar XJ6 2.9 Manual review from UK and Ireland
"The best £800 I have ever spent on a car.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really, central locking on one of the rear doors failed, but I fixed it. Seal on the petrol filler neck had perished and made the boot damp, I replaced it myself. The part cost £4 from a dealer!
I looked at lots of old Jags before choosing this one. My advise is buy the best you can for as little as possible. There are some genuine bargains out there.
General comments?
Its only a 2.9 and so needs full throttle to get it to move!
But once the old girl gets going it will outrun the average hatchback.
Full leather interior, wood, climate control, chrome and full electrics. I have never experienced a car so luxurious for the money. It can do 28 MPG on the motorway which is not that bad for such a big car.
