1996 Jaguar XJ6 SL sedan. Incredible car.

Best car I have ever owned and driven. 286 k miles and still going. Replaced water pump after 5 years of driving, otherwise no problem.

Long live the Jaguar X300 built to last.

I presently own three of these magnificent X300 cars, two 4.0 Sovereigns 1994 and 1996 and a 1995 3.2 XJ6. I have also owned a 1995 XJR in the past. If you want power then the XJR is for you but I personally find the normally aspirated engines to be more than adequate. The 3.2 being a square (bore and stroke) engine is the smoothest (probably the smoothest straight six cylinder engine Jaguar ever produced) and ideal for long distance cruising. The 4.0 being a longer stroke has a pronounced growl on acceleration which might suit most owners. Given that these cars are now approaching 30 years old my advice for prospective buyers would be the 3.2 model. The gearbox is purely mechanical with no possible electronic issues although fluid and filter changes should be done. I undertake all servicing and mechanical repairs myself, parts are readily available and not overly expensive. The Jaguar X300 is not difficult to work on and there is plenty of advice available on the internet if you come across an issue you cannot resolve. I owned a 4.0 XJ40 previous to the X300 and it was a fine car, Ford however improved on it and gave us the X300, Jaguars finest.
