The Jaguar XJ6 C always felt slightly unusual in the XJ range. Lower, longer looking somehow, even though most of the dimensions barely changed from the saloon underneath.

Introduced in the mid-1970s, the XJ-C was Jaguar trying something different. A pillarless coupe based on the Series II XJ, with all four side windows dropping completely away. When they worked properly, which owners will tell you was not always guaranteed, the effect was brilliant. Open, airy, and very unlike most British cars of the period.

It kept the XK straight six, which suited the car better than outright performance ever would have. The XJ-C was never especially sporting for its size, but that was not really the point. It had a calmness to it. Long bonnet ahead of you, thin steering wheel in your hands, and that slightly nose-heavy way old Jaguars settle into faster roads once you stop trying to rush them.

Production only lasted a few years, and rust claimed plenty early on, which is why good cars feel noticeably scarce now compared to standard XJs.

Still one of the more interesting versions of the XJ formula. Not perfect. Probably better for it.

Today, SNG Barratt continues to support XJ-C models with a wide range of parts to help keep these rare Jaguars on the road - https://bit.ly/3PNXDmX
