Books with full service record 

Price.  $69,500

- Oil filter – XK120 at least – still has some of the original brown paint on it. Tecalemit part no. FA2690, takes filter element FG2421.
I could not see a whole assembly like this offered elsewhere, and getting the various parts might cost some hundreds. My price A$125.

- Horn, an aftermarket item, marked RVB Products which was a Melbourne manufacturer of a few automotive items. Again might have come from my first XK120. Say $15?

- Front side light housing repair section, to be fitted and painted. I bought this item from Bill Lawrence (UK) around 1981 for my XK120 FHC. Bill was the most highly regarded XK body parts maker in the UK at the time. Same part used for XKs and saloons. Price guides I could find were close to about A$300 - needing to take account of postage/freight and Aus GST on buying from overseas.. Asking price here: $100 each.

- XK120 muffler: to the best of my recollection I bought this as NOS from Brysons a very long time ago. Stored since. Say $25?

- XK120 rear tail light housing. Alloy. Left side. This is not chromed but should be chromed or (for a few cars) painted body colour. It looks to me to be in pretty good shape – should re-chrome well.
Chromed repro parts like this are about A$450. Pric here say $120.

Reluctant sale of my 1982 Jaguar XJ6 SIII

100934 Kms   (only 5 digits on Speedo but I believe this to be original}    

I have owned this car for over twenty years.

It has always been garaged in Melbourne and Noosa.

The car has had a reconditioned engine fitted int 2017 by John at Downshire Motors East Malvern Victoria. All receipts are included with car.

Since the engine replacement the car has only travelled 20,000Kms.

Recently I fitted a new set of tyres as the others were out of date,

The car drives well and suspension and steering is good.

As with all cars of this age there are a few things that need attention but all minor.

The car is on Club Plates and will need a RWC to re register.

The car is located at Sunrise Beach Qld.
