Full of practical first-hand tips and pictures, to guide even classic car novices through all stages of becoming a Jaguar or Daimler saloon owner. Synopsis In 1968 the Jaguar XJ6 set new standards for luxury cars and spawned more than a dozen variants over the next 20 years, including the iconic 12 cylinder cars. This book guides you systematically though 3 different series of production, 4 engines and long or short wheelbase saloons or coupés, pointing out checks common to all versions as well as some specific to each model. Working via initial quick-check guidance and then in detail step-by-step through the strengths and weaknesses of your potential purchase, you’ll avoid buying a bad example and maximize the value and enjoyment you get out of your investment in one of motoring’s landmark vehicles.
