In late 1979, the Jaguar XJ was facelifted, and re-named as the XJ Series III. Using the long-wheelbase version of the car, the XJ incorporated a subtle redesign by Pininfarina. Externally, the most obvious changes over the SII were the thicker and more incorporated rubber bumpers with decorative chrome only on the top edge, flush door handles for increased safety, a one-piece front door glass without a separate 1/4 light, a grille with only vertical vanes, reverse lights moved from the boot plinth to the larger rear light clusters and a revised roofline with narrower door frames and increased glass area. There were three engine variants, including the 5.3 lt V12, the 4.2 lt straight-six and 3.4 L straight-six. The larger six-cylinder, and V12 models incorporated Bosch fuel injection which was made under licence by Lucas. 132,952 Series III cars were built, 10,500 with the V12 engine.

This XJ6 is a solid rust free example, said to be well maintained and to have recently been fitted with new front and rear sub frame mounts, new rear shock absorbers, new rear brake pads, new diff output shaft seals and new diff pinion seal. Both parking brake calliper's have been removed and serviced, as have both front suspension top mount bushes. All work carried out at an independent Jaguar specialist in Reading, with an invoice totalling over £1,000. Recent MOT expiring in Jan '17. This is a solid useable classic.
