Jaguar introduced the XJ6 to universal acclaim in September of 1968.
The car was revised several times during the years to follow, resulting in three different styles later named the Series I (1968-1973), Series II (1973-1979) and Series III (1979-1986).
The new cars introduced in 1986 were also marketed by Jaguar as "XJ6" but true Jaguar enthusiasts refer to them by their Jaguar internal designation of XJ40. In 1994 yet another update was introduced, this car was (and still is) marketed as the "XJ6" but again enthusiasts refer to it by it's Jaguar internal designation of X300.
To add to this confusion the Series III bodyshell actually lived on until 1992 in twelve cylinder versions of both Jaguars and Daimlers as the XJ12 and Double Six, respectively.
Please note that this document only deals with the XJ6 model, all the different series were also available in a twelve cylinder version called the XJ12. |
