    Alex! Do hope you read this.
    These early X300 XJRs are absolutely superb and a personal dream car. I’d like to point out that the specification of this car is NOT common. The interior came as standard with a black / dark grey upper contrast on the door cards, dash & centre console. As far as I’m aware, not many were optioned as yours is. Additionally, the ‘XJR Supercharged’ text on the veneer was DEFINITELY not standard and an extra I’ve never seen. Safe to say this car is special, increasingly with the HK sound & the wood / leather wheel.
    Please do take care of it (as I’m sure you will) there are virtually none of these early S/C 6 cars left.
    Love your work, been watching your work here & at CT for the best part of 8 years, Thanks!

    • @judgementalTX
      @judgementalTX 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      It's specced more like a US XJR with the walnut trim option, wood etd. You are right about the XJR Supercharged script. Must've been a special order. Usually these Sport interiors are shot by 80,000 miles so I wonder if it had a switch out at some point. Carnival Red is a fantastic colour for it. Easily worth 6-7k in the classic classifieds. More if it had sub 80k mileage. GReat car though and hopingit doesn't get ruined. I've got the XJ12 of that era.

    Loving the channel Alex and Taylor. My Dad used to have a XJR6 in navy with cream leather. Wasnt the biggest fan at first but my option changed when he took me on our first road trip from the Scottish Borders to the Glen's of Antrim. Travelling in absolute comfort, whisking the miles away but best of all, the old man flicking the switch to sports mode and over taking everything in its path. Thirsty old brut but definitely worth the smiles per gallon. Seeing the bonnet lift up when accelerating, hearing the whine of that supercharger and me grinning at every car we over took. I wished my dad kept it but unfortunate circumstances he had to let it go. Hope yous have as much fun as I have great memories of the XJR6. Real villains cars but that's why I love it!

    The best car you've ever bought! Once you understand Jag life, there is no substitute! Thermostat problems on the XJ are fairly common so that'd be the first thing I'd check if the temp is in the red. I'm amazed the exhaust hasn't rotten, but even so a stainless unit with a resonator delete should make some mean noises with a smaller pulley! I'm guessing someone has put waxoyl on it at some point underneath because they rot around the sills, wheel arches and under the boot lining so keep an eye on those spots.

    Hi Alex great show! I've been the proud owner of one of the non-supercharged versions for about 16 years now, it's interesting they appeared to have bottomed out and are on the rise as the X300 was only available for 3 or so years and is proving exceptionally reliable. When it comes to heat, it was a coolant sensor on mine about a $30 AUD part so nothing really, it has a different sensor for the gauge, which is nearly adjacent to it and also cheap to change. We swapped my radiator for a double fan one and the car runs cold most of the time now with no dramas at all. If you are keen to tune it there are verified stories of over 570 bhp and 700 nm coming out the engine, there is also a cheap easy very quick upgrade originally designed by the man who helped create the motor which really helps the car come alive. In Australia the rust issue is non-existent so the only issue we have is the fact that Jaguar clearly saved money on the wiring, its not insulated anywhere near as well as it should be, I've slowly started replacing it and the car feels better than it ever did. Enjoy mate! Here is a stripped tuned version for a bit of fun: th-cam.com/video/a-tMlGVId1A/w-d-xo.html

    Alex what can I say, I thought you made a mistake at first going on your own, boy was I wrong, hands down this is the best TH-cam car channel by far, I love how the cars you're into are attainable by the normal person and not million pound supercars, my daily driver is a 21 year old Volkswagen Golf V5 that I bought for £500, I love cars of this era and its a pleasure to drive, i would much rather have something like this than a £400 pound a month financed soulless machine.
    Keep smashing the videos out mate!

    That XJR is just beautiful. Lovely condition and colour. Although it shows that it is a 90s luxobarge, it's just really lovely and a perfect easy going car to cruise around in.

    I did a mot check on the jag (as I'm sure you did alex) and it's not only had near to no miles for years but only ever failed on minor things like washer fluid and the actual big problems it had have all been fixed. The coils as mentioned by taylor must have all been replaced as was 1 of the issues

    I don’t know why, but I am so very genuinely happy to see a really nice older Jag for once. Reminds me of the time when I was a kid and an elderly neighbour who had a Jaguar just like this one in the same colour and took me for a ride to dry it off after they washed it. Even gave me a Jaguar racing cap and shirt!

  • @Biggles

    Alex, I really enjoyed how you fell under the spell that the XJR6 has on certain people like me, even down the the thing I always say: LOOOK AT THE BIG RED LETTERS XJR6 SUPERCHARGED ON THE ENGINE. I'm now on my 8th XJR6 and maintain the statement these are a very special Jaguar. There is more to the story though, the holy grail, the XJR6 with a manual gearbox. I have one of these myself now and it's a completely different animal. I know Drivetribe are already doing a manual swap on the XKR which is amazing, but I urge you to consider converting your car to manual. It's clearly a solid and well looked-after example so would be a good candidate for changing the drivetrain. I have a feeling your would absolutely love the thug of a car the X306 becomes when the slushbox auto is removed in favour of the racing GT tractor Getrag 290 manual with it's industrial grade gearchange and clutch!

    @channex8179 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That Jag is proper clean!!! I love straight sixers, they really are the best compromise of power, smoothness and in general reliability, superchargers also sound soooooo good. I love a good BMW sixer, been buying them for over 20 years and currently have an e90 335d, I know its a derv but its such a creamy engine the M57 Tu2 engine plus its literally bomb proof. I'll keep buying BMW sixers as they are so much smoother than a V8, don't have the hassle of a balance shaft but still put out similar Power especially when turbocharged or supercharged. I expect to see good things with this Alex

    I have to put this out there, the Jaguar XJR X306 is probably the best XJ they ever made. Just the view under the bonnet is glorious, and it is in my top 3 dream car garage because I am a sad old woman who fell in love with a car that stopped being made when I was ten years old.
