| Possibly the only 6 cylinder one left (or the only 4.0 Completed) by Chasseur in 1992 - its the press car (or at least the one in the Magazine ads) - previously featured in XJS Club Magazine. At conversion c £30k Chasseur upgrades include : Weber throttle bodies, head and ecu work to give approx 310HP, modified exhaust (not too loud but does pop on overrun), uprated suspension and big front AP brakes, short shift. quick rack, subtle bodykit. Rear 9 and Front 8 inch wide 17 inch Racing Dynamics wheels Continental tyres all round – rears less than 4000 miles, fronts probably 2000. Did 29mpg on a 400 mile trip last October. Otherwise it’s a well looked after and (almost) rust free XJS – ideally needs c £1500 cosmetic work to bring bodywork up to scratch. Worst bits are OSR lower arch rusted but genuine new panel being included and a small rust hole on bonnet frame – both my chosen Bodywork people can’t now fit it in this year so selling as is (reduced price). Prior to my ownership in 2022 the car was extensively recommissioned as it had been in a collection for a few years, there is an invoice for £4,100 for pre mot work in 2022, I understand the engine was also worked on at the time but I cant prove that I have also had the gearbox mounting replaced and some electrical work done to get interior lights and windows working, plus usual maintenance inc oil changes. The car has done just over 84,000 miles (see vosa History) I've done about 4,000 trouble free miles in it, MOT expires July 2025 (advisory free). Electrics work inc seats, windows, interior and boot lights. No battery drain when left for a month so starts first time after being left for a while. Headlining replaced prior to my ownership. Faults, not many. Central locking sometimes only locks from passenger side (think that side's mechanism is a bit sticky), unlocks fine from both sides. No radio (not got round to fitting one partly due to engine and exhaust symphony!) but might have Blaupunkt DAB/Bluetooth fitted soon, low fuel light comes on and goes off with handbrake at moment! Electric mirrors have never worked (but they are not standard fit morrors), replaced switch but haven't looked further. Some stone chips and minor bodywork issues as noted above. Had my fun, fallen back in love with my Stag and have commissioned Resto on that. So, price? It’s a bit of an enigma but always gets good comments especially when clean (sorry re a couple of photos, it gets used!). The last Chasseur XJ6s that sold at Auction went for c £20K (about 3 times what their standard counterparts were worth), I think thats not the case here but I think for its rarity and condition its sensibly priced. Will consider sensible offers around £11,750  Car is kept garaged 5 miles from J12 M40 British Motor Museum - happy to meet there if sunny. Car goes nowhere without full payment, including test drives(i can take you). |
