What are the most known problems of a XJ6?

I owned a '71. Suggest you look for anything. I lost the breaks, cooling system and had multiple electrical problems (thanks Lucas).

The main problem is obviously the car itself. They are wonderful, I love old and not-so-old Jags...... but..... ;-)

As the Aston Martin told me when I ask them about any Lagonda available: "hey, so you like having problems with your car!"

Well, the model you are looking for is old enough to be less complicated. I believe the biggest problem will be the age of the car, as well as -rust-.

Take a look at this web site. There are several articles on what to look for in selecting an older Jag. I bought an'87 XJ6 last year at this time and found the articles very helpful. Good luck!

In the end it amounts to how much you want it and how lucky you are. A mate of mine bought a 1984 Series III for next to nothing and it runs beautifully. It only needed a polish. If you can do stuff yourself or if not find the right mechanic (NOT a dealer, but an independant Jaguar specialist) the XJ6 can go on for ever. In the Netherlands I guess your biggest worry will be rust. But as someone once told me, it's only metal and metal can be fixed. I tell you what though, it is a real roller coaster ride with old cars. There is nothing like the joy that of getting the car on the road after a problem has been fixed - it makes the depths of despair when it breaks all worthwhile. (People with a gambling addiction have the same problem, I think.)
