Photos of my Series 1 XJ6 restoration
Page 1 of 4
Having basically disassembled, and reassembled my series 1 XJ6 (and it's 3 carb set up with the "flowed head" ) several times I think that I'm pretty well acquainted with most aspects of this model, and if you have any questions about your series 1 XJ6 project, or contemplated project please feel free to ask them. Some times it's easier to ask than it is to TRY to figure out "what the heck just happened"..LOL..
Believe me I KNOW !!!!
Questions? stanlcky@fullnet.net

The Original XJ6 was designed to help bring Jaguar back into the world market. In the late 1960's Jaguar had been building a number of different models and were facing financial difficulty. It was then decided to try to generate ONE sedan that the company could focus on, while dropping the Mark X, 3.8, and all the rest . What they came up with was this Short Wheel Based XJ6. Called a "short wheel base" car because just 4 years after it's design, the XJ6 was stretched to become what was at that time called a "long wheel base" Jag.
