Jaguar XJ 4.2C
Specifications
The story behind this collectible...
Where the E-type stood for pace, the XK for grace, the XJ stood for space. A wonderfully spacious tourer packed with class, the Jaguar flagship where they loved to show off all their gadgets and new gizmos. The fastest four-seater in the world when the car first rolled off the assembly line. The car was rarely delivered as a coupe anyway, which now makes this a real collector's item.
Anyway, enough about investment and performance, let's talk about what lasting impression this car leaves. After all, a Jaguar driver also knows that you must drive this car with respect. That means that the sports hangover of yesteryear should purr quietly, not roar. It is sometimes said in the car world, the car looks like its owner. However, this tomcat also knows how to take the owner with her grandeur. In fact, when you get in, you immediately get the feeling that you know about opera, wine, politics and poetry.
Ours? Dutch delivered! A 6-cylinder which in terms of consumption and weight ratio feels slightly more favorable than the 12-cylinder and can still insert well. Fully serviced on the operating table so you can carefree enjoy this classic. To top it off, fully documented as well! That's a nice start, right?
