Rust-free QLD body. 4 small surface spots present 20+ years, stable:
Bottom of driver door
Bottom of passenger door
Lower rear quarter panel LHS
Lower rear quarter panel RHS
All surface only, no penetration, no sills, no floors, no boot rot. RWC 28-12-93 @ 74,565 miles = 120,000km confirms solid body. QLD car = good bones. Easy $2k fix for perfect, or leave as honest patina. Photos 7-8 show spots clearly. No surprises.
CONDITION:
Garaged entire life. Front end rebuilt with new factory parts. Dark Blue paint presents excellent - 2012 respray done right, no orange peel. Engine is numbers-matching block built for HP - starts instantly, pulls strong. Borg Warner auto shifts smooth. This is a “drive it daily” S1, not a trailer queen. It’s one of 3 XJ6 Jaguars delivered to Australia on the 5th of May 1969
WHY THIS CAR IS RARE:
Early RHD 4.2 S1 with Bryson dealer history from new = unicorn rare in Australia. Add JDHT + numbers-matching engine + original Dark Blue + QLD rust-free body + 2026 JDHT update = investment grade. It’s one of 3 XJ6 Jaguars delivered to Australia on the 5th of May 1969
Maybe 10-15 cars on Earth with this combo. Mods to engine don’t hurt value - drivers want usable HP.
