1970 4.2 Sovereign - Barons Sandown Pk Tuesday 12 Dec 2017 For Sale by Auction


The Jaguar XJ6 was introduced in September 1968, followed by the Daimler version in October 1968, and continued to 1973. Power-assisted steering and leather upholstery were standard on the 2. 8 L De Luxe and 4. 2 L models and air conditioning was offered as an optional extra on the 4. 2 L. In March 1970 it was announced that the automatic transmission would be uprated to the Borg-Warner Model 12 unit. Around this time minor changes were made as well, such as moving the rear reflectors from beside to below the rear lights; on the interior the chrome gauge bezels were changed for black ones, to cut down on distracting reflections. In 1972 the option of a long-wheelbase version, providing a 4" increase in leg room for passengers in the back, became available. 78, 973 Jaguar XJ6s were produced.
