Jaguar XJ 4.2 Series 1: I don’t often see older XJ Jags in the wild, so it was a pleasure to shoot this one. Looks like it’s in a non going state at the moment. Let’s hope the owner gets this classic back on the road and not letting it rust in peace.
Jaguar Sovereign: A lovely old Jag from the 1980’s / 1990’s. Its looking quite original and it’s not bad condition for a car of its age (around 30 years old I’m guessing). No doubt this is someones daily driver and is down to do the shopping.
Jaguar XJ 3.4 Saloon: A 1970’s Jaguar XJ. Looks to be well cared for and maintained. Very classy indeed.
Jaguar Sovereign: One of the Jaguar XJ variants from the 1990’s. This one incredibly appears to be on the road and running. Excellent!
Jaguar XJ 4.2: A Series II Jaguar XJ from the 1970’s. What a great car but the colour is a real shocker aint it?
Jaguar MK 2: This old green Jaguar could well pass off as a RatRod project. Forget the restoration, it’s cool as it is.
Jaguar XJ6: One of the more common Jags. It’s white also, which doesn’t help.
Jaguar 420G (Mark X): One of the largest Jaguars ever produced. This one looks to be in pretty good nick and despite being used as an everyday driver it’s still going strong. 1960’s English luxury motoring in it’s finest hour perhaps?
What, no bluetooth?
Of the rarer Jaguar XJ series, is the XJC 2 door coupe. I was lucky to spot this one recently and it looked to be in pretty good condition, presumably some restoration had been done to this particular vehicle. It was equipped with the standard 4.2 litre in-line 6 cylinder engine… or so the badge said on the back.
The Jaguar XJC was produced between 1975 and 1978 with total production of all XJC series totalling a little over 10,400 vehicles. Of those, only 241 were officially imported in Australia.
The Jaguar Car Club of WA held its annual 2011 Concours & Car Show at Houghtons Winery, Middle Swan on 9 November. The event was held in conjunction with the 175 years anniversary celebration for local winery, Houghtons, so this ensured at good crowd.
Location was pleasure, with plenty of facilities available and parking was breeze with the top paddock open and made available for car parking.
There was a good turn out of old and new Jaguars from XK’s to XJ’s and E types aplenty.
