I am selling a 1979 Jaguar XJ6 L series 11.This is a very cool car. I got the car on a trade for a 2000 Monte Carlo. I got the Jaguar at start of 2007 and it had not been running for around 7 years I have spent all winter getting it running and now it is a SWEET LITTLE RUNNING CAR I have just gone for a drive around the block 04\10\08 vary vary cool its a drivable 29 year old car ,
List of what I have repaired or replaced,Front steel brake lines and the steel brake line to back still needs two brake line on the back brake clippers,free up parking brake cables only front brakes work now ,Removed and had cleaned the fuel injectors fuel rail,Cleaned fuel lines repair the return line replace driver side fuel tank LEFT remove and clean passenger side tank replace fuel pump new fuel level indicator inside tank so the gauges on the dash work ,New gear selector cable,4 New head lights.
About the car, Its blue 4 door tan leather seats crack I have put tan pleather seat covers it has xxx tinted power windows all working it has climate control vented front and back don't think it works it also has telescopic, A Bose 4 speaker cassette AM\FM Ohhhhhhhh and it works good.

Take the time to read the information below.
Initial changes involved stronger, higher-set bumpers (the front one prompting an abbreviated grille) and updated instrument panel with all gauges grouped in front of the driver and a large center vent for the improved air conditioning. Late '74 brought four additions to the line: six- and 12-cylinder XJC hardtop coupes and a similar pair of "L" (long) sedans with the wheelbase stretched four inches for additional rear leg room. The latter sold so well that they eventually supplanted the original standard-wheelbase sedans entirely.
Few other year-to-year changes save switching the automatic transmission from the outmoded Borg-Warner to a more modern GM Turbo Hydra-Matic during 1976. Both V-12 and XK six retained dual carburetors (fuel injection for American cars in 1978-79) and power ratings close to Series I levels, even on emissions-tuned American models.
The XJ6 2.8 remained a tax-beating "economy special" mainly for Europe. Equivalent Daimler Sovereign and Double Six continued (respective total production: 20,075 and 4292), but again not for the U.S.
