This 1986 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas is a British luxury sedan that offers room for five in a cabin furnished with leather seats and woodgrain accents and equipped with cruise control, power windows, a radio with cassette player, and a digital trip computer. Exterior features include chrome-trimmed black bumpers, two-tone 15-inch wheels, newer Toyo tires, and dual fuel doors and exhaust outlets. Power is supplied by a 4.2-liter straight-6 engine and delivered to the road through a 3-speed automatic. Service performed within the last year and a half includes an oil change, an A/C recharge, and the installation of new brake pads and rotors. Finished in red over a tan interior, this Series III XJ sedan is available now and comes with a "Total Driving Experience" cassette, a cassette player cleaning kit, a service manual, a tool kit, maintenance and owner's handbooks, and a period brochure as well as a clean Carfax report and a clear California title in the seller's name.
The Pininfarina-designed exterior comes finished in red accented with brightwork trim in various areas. The front end features a "leaper" hood ornament, quad round headlights, a vertically vaned grille, and bumper-mounted amber turn signals. Orange side marker lights and Jaguar badges are located on the front fenders. Body-color moldings run from the front fenders across the front and rear doors. At the rear, there are dual fuel doors, red side marker lights, tri-color taillights, and a pair of exhaust finishers.
A set of two-tone 15-inch wheels with "growler" center caps and Toyo Extensa A/S tires replaced under previous ownership connect the car to the road.
Inside, this Vanden Plas is furnished with tan leather seats, a color-coordinated headliner and door panels, and brown carpeting. Walnut burl veneers accent the front and rear door panels, dashboard, center stack, T-handle shifter, and center console. According to the brochure, the Vanden Plas-specific front seats are hand-constructed and handsewn; the rear bench seat has a fold-down middle armrest with a storage compartment, magazine pockets in the back of the front seats, and adjustable overhead reading lights. Additional features include a black fabric dashboard pad, cruise control, power steering, power windows, a power sunroof, an AM/FM radio with a cassette player, a flip-up vanity mirror in the glove compartment, and a center-mounted rear HVAC vent for backseat passengers. The trunk is lined with matching carpeting and contains a toolkit.
Instrumentation consists of a 5,500-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, a bank of warning lights for various vehicle systems, and gauges for the oil pressure, voltage, fuel level, and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer indicates approximately 66K miles, which is in line with the last odometer reading dated February 24, 2021 on the Carfax report.
Under the lined, front-hinged hood is a naturally aspirated 4.2-liter inline-6 engine. It sends its power to the rear wheels through a BorgWarner 3-speed automatic. Within the last year and a half, the car received an oil change and an A/C system recharge. The video below shows the car being road-tested.
The brake pads and rotors were also changed within the last year and a half. Additional photos of the underbody are available in the picture carousel to the right.
A "Total Driving Experience" cassette, a cassette player cleaning kit, a service manual, a tool kit, maintenance and owner's handbooks, and a period brochure are included with the purchase of the car.

@jcwarrior – @cosgwell1977 Thanks for your reply. Pics 60, 64,68 (in my carousel sequence) do show the dash uncovered. Pic 83 (as per my carousel sequential order) shows the car parked on some pavement or driveway—your main point here is that the undercarriage is clean with no evidence of an oil leak. ...
Hi Jcwarrior , I do apologize that the # of the pictures some how do not line up as yours do ? the undercarriage is clean & the only thing i see on the street pictures is a stain on the pavement outside the drivers dood & an older stain in front of the car . just from my experience owning many of these cars is if they sit a long time the rear main seal is an old rope type set up & they will start to seep a bit , but after driving about 100 miles or so they seal up . this ones clean ? i do invite you to see the car or have it inspected as you wish . Regards Tom

@jcwarrior – @Cogswell1777 A few queries: 1. Official name of car’s red paint. 2. Is the top of dash in good condition? Why the dash cover? 3. Is sunroof working. 4. Driving video is good but would have been even better to also capture the cluster gauges working while driving. 5. More precise date of tires if it’s available or known. 6. Any presence of oil seepage or leak—pic 83 may be showing some trace of oil on the floor? Thanks! ...
Hi Jcwarrior , From the paint chips i found on the internet its Claret Metallic , but i want to check the sales brochure which is in the trunk at storage .in the carousel theres pictures of a perfect dash with no cover I have dash covers on most of my cars for protection . Sunroof works fine . As you might have noticed in the video i tried to take pictures of the gauges while driving but it was difficult doing it myself in traffic . they all work properly i can say . i will check on the tires i believe i have the receipt from prior owner . picture 83 is of the sales brochure , i cant attest for stains in the street ? the car is very clean underneath . Hope this helps . Best Regards

@Cogswell1777 – Hi HS37 , i was told by the 2nd 0wner in Arizona that the car was professionally resprayed by the prior owner , paint is beautiful . Full tune up , plugs , wires , cap & rotor just done . LOF , Brake pads rotors & AC recharge done 1000 miles ago . This is the nicest XJ I have ever had & you bid on a few others i sold recently here on Autohunter . Truly love these Jags . loosing storage so we are selling off part of the collection. This is the only Vanden Plas Model I have . Thanks ...
Hi 777 ,Thank you yes I tried couple times i liked the last one but I took an important call and missed the last bid.! Any way Maron is not may favorite color. I like regular XJ 6 over Vanden Plas Model also like Tan gold or tilt bule or silver .So if you come cross other collections in future where you can't or don't want to sell through auction . Please email me [email protected] Thanks
I want to comment on Route 101 South road condition . Its what you would expect in a 3rd World Country , Just terrible . Guess we just dont pay enough gas tax & road tax in Beautiful Sunny California . i wanted to get the car up to Highway speeds for the video , Thanks for looking .
@HS37 – Is paint original or repainted ? Thank you ...
