Jaguar XJ6 4.0 specs

My first four door luxury car was a 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas, it can be seen in the photo on the upper right. It was very nice, but it did break down occasionally. I left it behind when I moved across the country in 2011 since I did not trust it to make the trip. I missed its combination of luxury and usefulness, but now it has finally been replaced by a Panamera S.

There is the exterior. I will add the interior later, once I figure out how to add it right side up. :)

I see that they got deleted. Kinda strange since they are legitimate photos of this car model, but I think it is because the one of the interior was sideways, and so now I can add them correctly (right side up). So actually that is kinda cool. I will add them back today.

@ Viking: I don't see the pictures, but it's a magnificent car.

I must have too much time on my hands, so I added a couple of pictures from several years ago when visiting a relative in Maryland with my other car the 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas. I messed up on posting the interior picture, and so it is sideways, sorry. It does however show the nice burled walnut (including tray tables), and the nice British leather everywhere. It also has a power sunroof. I still have it, but it is in storage in a garage back east. I probably should sell it to someone in the East. Very comfortable, and good at high speed cruising (as long as nothing breaks). :)

Groovy car Viking! A would like to sit behind and enjoy the ride. I ever see something like this in Osaka. It's probably owned by old people

My example of this car has beautiful rich looking metallic gold paint, and the nicer looking wheels (an inch bigger as well at 16 inches) that came with the last model year (in the top luxury versions at least).

I still own one of these beautiful luxury cars. The recent discussions on luxurious interiors have prompted me to some fond memories of this car. Unfortunately, it is sitting in a garage (that I own) about 3,000 miles from where I live. It still runs, or at least it did when I was last back East, but I don't really trust it to be reliable for that far of a drive. I probably should sell it.

I own a 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas 4.0 (very similar to the Daimler 4.0 version sold in the UK). Not a great track car, although apparently some people race the ones equipt with a five speed manual (not available in the U.S.). Beautiful interior with lots of burled walnut, thick Connelly leather, Wilton wool carpets, heavy chrome door handles and window surrounds, and even wooden tray tables behind the front seats. Classic exterior styling with a leaper hood ornament to set it off. Mine has over 200k miles, but I am driving it this week to work instead of my Mustang just to keep everything lubricated. It doesn\'t like sitting for too long, and it is a nice change of pace every once in a while when I seek proper cosseting and luxury.

The acceleration information is from a comparison test in the March 1993 issue of Car and Driver. The test showed 0-60 mph in 8.1 seconds, but I have added .3 seconds to make it 0-100 km/h.
