RealRides of WNY - 1978 Jaguar XJ6L

ALDEN, N.Y. 

1978 Jaguar XJ6L

Nothing says class like a large Jaguar saloon. This one’s got the extra four inches of wheelbase (and rear seat leg room) which came with the L version of the XJ6. The 6 referred to the car’s engine — a 4.2L inline six which came with fuel injection beginning in model year 1978.

The other engine choice came standard in the XJ12/XJ12L — a 5.3L V12 which put out 269 hp, compared to the 186 hp of the 4.2L six.
