Jet 1 was a pretty impressive feat, and all the more that it was based on the stately P4.

Car of the week? Well perhaps...
The colour is right for Michel but does he need more HP?

I love this. If it was a V12 I would have bought it:

1971 Jaguar XJ6 S1 Manual Overdrive

With input from Sir William Lyons who referred to this car as "the greatest Jaguar ever" the Series 1 XJ6 Saloon was introduced in September 1969. This particular example is a very rare 1971 4.2L factory manual with overdrive and is in good overall condi

It is beautiful. Buy it; much less expensive to maintain than the V12 which gets so hot under the bonnet that it fries the wiring loom. Please buy it!

Brian is spot on.
I wouldn’t buy it if it was a V12

 

[c107]

Yes the 4.2 is the sensible choice, but I do want to own a series 1 V12 one day!
