An unusual plea to our readers today. We'd like to run a few features over the coming months looking at entry level models - the Jaguars that rarely get seen, because people buy and restore the better-equipped variants instead.
And we'd like to start with the XJ6 2.8 Standard. Priced at £1,836, the Standard undercut the more common Deluxe by over £100 when new, and did without such things as head restraints, overdrive, power steering, leather seats and even rear seat heater vents. Very few were sold - mainly because it was easy to upsell Jaguar clients into a Deluxe.
Do any of these fantastically rare base-spec machines survive in the UK?
