Madness - Jaguar XJ6 by Nicko McBrain in new outfit

Can you still remember that the Jaguar Classic Division had an XKSS and a Defender V8 revived some time ago? Today we want to show you the next project based on an elegant 1984 Jaguar XJ6. Specifically, it is an XJ6 series 3 celebrated its premiere at the last Geneva Motor Show. Background is the 50. Jubilee of the XJ series and incidentally this weekend the Land Rover brand icon Defender celebrates its 70. Birthday on the Techno-Classica (21.-25.3.2018). But back to the XJ6. This one has a prominent owner and this is none other than Nicko McBrain the drummer with the 1975 founded British music group Iron Maiden at a hunt.

He was also responsible for the ideas for the innumerable changes inside and out and can now be an absolute unique piece Jaguar production to assert oneself The outer skin of the XJ6 comes with a finish in the noble "Mauve" (Purple metallic) and could not be better as a contrast to the handmade leather trim in Pimento red. Overall, the project has devoured hours of work through 3.500 and during that time, the specialists of Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works for more than 4.000 polished, exchanged or partly completely redesigned parts.

The exterior changes are quite subtle and so it is probably only the connoisseur that, for example, the bumpers seamlessly go into the fenders, wearing the XJ6 side marker lights as in US models or has more pronounced wheel arches. This was necessary to accommodate the beautiful 18 wire spoked wheels with Pirelli P Zero 235 / 45 tires suspended from a reinforced chassis with adjustable rear shocks. In addition, there were Halo daytime running lights in the main headlights and small details such as the series 2 door handles, drop-shaped rear view mirrors or an exhaust system with 4 chromed round tailpipes.

And as a fan of hard and loud music, of course, a proper sound system may not be missing and so ensure 1.100 Watt for a species-appropriate sound. A touchscreen display from Alpine over which the system is regulated radiates a modern flair. In combination with the machined aluminum rotary controls, the pedals in chrome and black, the dark gray Sycamore wood interior or the Alcantara headliner, the luxurious interior is impressively rounded off.
