Introduced in September 1968, the Jaguar XJ6 was an automotive exemplar of the saying that a whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. There was nothing radically new about the model's four-door monocoque bodyshell, all-round independent suspension, power assisted rack and pinion steering or four-wheel disc brakes and yet it effectively moved the goal posts of luxury car design. Another of Sir William Lyons' stylistic masterpieces, its bluff radiator grille, slim-pillared glasshouse, pronounced belt line and quad headlights gave presence aplenty. Powered by a choice of 4.2 litre or 2.8 litre straight-six XK engines allied to either four-speed manual plus overdrive or automatic transmission, the XJ6 was a strong performer (though, the smaller-engined variant felt somewhat less powerful than its 1.4 litre deficit suggested). Belying the saloon's exterior dimensions, the cabin felt reassuringly cocooning thanks in part to a generous transmission tunnel.

First owned by Nancy Sinatra and her husband, the lady in question rising to fame not only as the daughter of ‘Ol Blue Eyes’ but also as the singer of ‘These Boots Are Made for Walkin’, this elegant XJ6 S1 remained in their possession until 1975 during which time the legendary George Barris apparently customised it with a Light Green Metallic paint job and S2 chrome wheels. Purchased by second keeper Stewart Annand from Brentwood Motors of Santa Monica in 1976, he kept the Jaguar for the next forty-two years. Treated to a replacement steering rack (1987), engine overhaul (1991) and respray back to its original British Racing Green hue before being taken off the road in 2006, the four-seater was bought by Jim Cronin of Classic Carriages some twelve years later who repatriated it. Only the saloon’s second UK keeper, the vendor has had the door cards and carpets sympathetically retrimmed and a retro-styled Bluetooth radio added. Featured in the September 2018 issue of Jaguar World magazine, this historic XJ6 S1 currently shows some 29,000 miles to its odometer. Currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer, it is hoped that a V5C Registration Document for ‘FMW 567J’ will have been issued in time for the sale.
