Daimler Double Six, Vanden Plas, 5.3 V12, 1974, 280,000 miles, with full Jaguar service history, every option inc. high-quality leather interior, decent stereo system, real wood dash, high mileage, but runs very well.
Four months MOT/no tax.
It went for a mere £1,100.
It seems a lot of car for the money, no?

Surely not a match for your CSL Bamford.

'Patriot UK in totally pointless reply shock'.

Oh wow, that takes me back.

Bamford, my first car was an XJ6 4.2 series 3, then I bought an Sovereign V12 (mechanically identical to the Double-Six but Jaguar specification) and then an XJ-S V12.

Wish I had never sold any of them, they were all beautiful cars.

How about a 1974 immaculate XJ6-C 4.2 2-door in red with a black roof? Neighbour is selling one.

I have still got my white XJ12-C 5.3 (1977) which is still in need of total restoration.... one day maybe i will get round to it.

fair price if car was decent....iv owned two series 3 xj6 saloons and think they are the very best looking saloon cars ever made.....

Without a doubt I totally agree, Big G.

Mind you, there is something eerie and magical about a series 2 two-door coupe too!

Sounds like a fine buy. Certainly worth the money and a lot more.

It's bordering on the criminal. But what a buy for someone and what a car for a grand!

The best Jaguar i had was a 1974 E Type V12 Coupe.
The purists will tell you that it is cheaper than any other E Type, because it is least desirable, but isn't that just the best thing? That the (lack of) 'desirability' thing equals a great car for low-ish money.
It was the best E Type anyway, because unlike the early ones it actually had brakes and suspension of sorts, plus of course the magical V12 lump.
