The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
1994 Jaguar XJ6 Sovereign
An award-winner, with four owners from new, including two long-term guardians.
Registration - M843 EFK
Chassis No. - SAJJHALD3BJ727684
M.O.T. - April 2025
Odometer - 75,694
This 1994 Jaguar Sovereign is a genuine award-winner, with the vendor reporting it has been named ‘best of the best’ in multiple shows. Finished in rare Jade Green with cream leather interior, it is powered by a 4.0-litre version of the famous Jaguar straight-six, paired with a ‘J-gate’ automatic gearbox. ‘M843EFK’ is highly original, even wearing its period dealer numberplates from supplying dealer Colliers Jaguar. It also has its original manual and service book, plus an extensive history to 2013. The car has a matching set of quality Uniroyal tyres, while the alloy wheels appear in excellent condition.
‘M843EFK’ has been stored in a garage over the winter, reports the vendor, to protect it from the elements. They have owned it for 11 years, with the previous owner keeping it for 15 years. The odometer reads just 75,694 miles and the car’s condition is described as ‘good’ throughout, from engine, transmission and electrics, to bodywork and paintwork. With an MOT until the end of April 2025, ‘M843EFK’ even comes with its original three keys.
The Jaguar XJ ‘X300’ was built between 1994 and 1997. It was an ingenious evolution of the 1986 Jaguar XJ40, gaining four distinctive round headlights set into a gracefully fluted bonnet. Wrap-around rear lights were more modern, and the car gained fully-integrated bumpers. While the interior wasn’t fully overhauled, it was updated, to again feel more modern. It was powered by an updated version of the Jaguar straight-six engine, with the choice version being the 4.0-litre AJ16. The subject of a £200 million investment in production facilities from new owners Ford, the X300 Jaguar XJ was received extremely well by media and customers alike, and went on to be one of the Coventry firm’s most successful models, before being replaced in 1997 by the further-evolved X350 Jaguar XJ.
In summary:
- Rare Jade Green Jaguar Sovereign 4.0
- Multiple show-winning example
- Previous two owners kept it for a combined 26 years
