Some cars are so well preserved, it’s hard to believe they haven’t been frozen in time. This is one of them. A 1975 Jaguar XJ6-L with just 39,000 kilometers. Still wearing its original paint, featuring its untouched interior, and complete with its original books, including the Passport to Service. In our view, it doesn’t get much better than this.

This stunning XJ is finished in Sable Brown, a rich, warm tone that pairs beautifully with the sand-colored leather interior. Take a good look at the photos. The paint, the chrome, the panel fitment—and then step inside. That leather. The fresh carpeting. The steering wheel, the gear shifter, even the headliner. Everything is in remarkably well-preserved condition.

But there’s more. This car isn’t just original, it’s also equipped with the right drivetrain. Under that long hood sits Jaguar’s well-known 4.2-liter inline-six, paired with a manual gearbox and overdrive. That makes this example not just a stylish cruiser but a true driver’s car. Quiet, smooth, powerful, and supremely comfortable. Everything a proper Jaguar should be.

This Jaguar was originally delivered in Metz, France, and has clearly been cherished over the decades. This isn’t a restored car—it’s an exceptionally original time capsule, showing only minimal signs of wear. For a car that’s fifty years old, that’s almost unheard of.

The XJ series was introduced in 1968 and quickly became Jaguar’s flagship sedan. With the launch of Series II in 1973, the model received a number of refinements: a more modern interior, improved climate control, and revised bumpers for the US market. From 1974, the long-wheelbase version became standard, giving rear passengers more room and turning the XJ6-L into an ideal luxury cruiser.

Yet the XJ6 never lost its sporty soul. The combination of a sophisticated chassis, a strong engine, and in this case, a manual transmission, means it never feels heavy or disconnected. Everything feels precisely tuned for driving pleasure.

So what do we have here? An original, near-new 1975 Jaguar in a timeless color, with a beautifully preserved interior and a rare drivetrain for this segment. And all of it in a condition that’s almost impossible to find today.
