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!

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!

Awesome video! I've bought 3 auction vehicles and they were all great. Well one was a shit box but fixable. The first was the best. 200k miles on it, but like your Jag, zero rust, brand new Michelin tires all round, fantastic interior, paid $2800 plus fees. Did wiring, fab, and decals to make it a Ghostbusters car and it helped me raise thousands for charity.

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l17Xfp99i66XZ6M

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.

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!

What a stellar machine Alex! Always loved any XJ. I picked up an S55 for a similar steal here in california: $7k with 100k miles, and immaculate interior.

4:18 Woahhhh that's a fourth generation Camaro in silver in the background, but it's got the ZL1 wheels on it which means that's a Super Sport, and a convertible!

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!

That Jag is cool, brings back memories of the smells & feel of sitting in my uncle’s XJ8. I’m not usually a fan of red cars either but this shade is nice and the wheels 😍

Lovely car and this channel is so much more interesting Alex, Car Throttle was actually mostly dull except for the RX7 episode. Please do more with this car, I want to see the brakes sorted and you enjoy it!

With regards to the Drivetribe XKR, they should check the slack on the throttle cable. Over time they stretch and the result is that when you floor it, you’re only getting like 80 or 70% of throttle instead of 100% at WOT. Which would explain the 90 escaped horses.

Oh that is awesome. I have a manual 1995 XJR and yours is much cleaner than mine was when I first picked it up. You are missing a front undertray, but that seems to be typical once these cars reach this age.

These X300 XJR's are superb. A friends dad always had new Jags and had one of these when they came out. It went like stink and was the first Jag he had that wasn't stuck together in the dark by disgruntled Brummies. Great buy.

Congrats Alex!! You've owned almost every engine configuration 🔥 except 2, and that is a twin charged or a W configuration. How about a 2012-14 VW polo GTI / Skoda Fabia VRS / a Seat Ibiza cupra from the same era all of which had the same engine as your next car? 🤔 Or if you want a unique one how about a Passat with a W8 engine? 🤔

I love this car. When i was a kid, the owner of the local taxi company had one of those in British racing green with the same interior. And ever since i first saw it back then i've always wanted one.
