- BARN FIND | FIRST START IN 24 YEARS | 1978 Jaguar XJ6
Welcome to our 1978 Series 2 Jaguar XJ6 barn find. The Jag was stored in a garage not far from here since 1999, 24 years ago, when it was taken off the road for maintenance by its previous owner.
The challenge we have set ourselves in this Jaguar barn find series is to revive the Jag and to get the car back on the road again.
So let’s crack on, We hope you enjoy the episode
Huge thank you for watching.

pops looks cool behind the wheel i know he loves jags
Looking forward to seeing you wake up this sleeping beauty. From what we can see, it looks like it's had a decent life. I've always liked the Series II, I think they're the nicest looking of the all the XJs.
Hi Guys, great video. Your problem is with lack of choking. I see that the AED is missing and has been replaced with a short length of tube between the tops of the carbs. On my series 1 I also removed the AED because they are unreliable. I used to choke one of the carbs with a doubled over piece of cereal box card placed between the mixture lever and adjustment screw. Once started you can then remove after about a minute. You may also want to check that there is oil in the dashpots of the carbs. 😊
I got to drive my dad's 74 xj6 as a teenager in the 70s three things I remember are the ring/ting from the starter motor , a tin of lighter fuel in the centre console to clean the electric window switches and the accident fuel cut-off reset switch was in a box in the front passenger footwell
It's great to see you guys working on cars again! :)
The huge smile on your Dad’s face as it started up - priceless.
Love your videos of you and your Dad working together, he is an unconscious comedian with some of his comments.
Nice one!. Love seeing old bits of kit being bought back to life and given a second go!. 🙂 Nuff said.
The old girl i worth saving. I'm no mechanic but a good flushing of the fuel system, new fuel pumps and possibly new tanks would certainly help. Of course the pump and tanks could be fine but after 23+ years sitting, it would be miracle if they were okay. It's a Jaguar, after all. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful car I am very jealous. Wish you all the best and hope to see it returned to the road.
Great to see no diognostic equipment used. Just old school knowledge.Well done UPbuild...
Another great video and update on what you guys have been working on, really enjoy seeing your dad working with you.
A quick squirt of eazy start in the carbs and decent battery should do it 👍👍👍
Fantastic. Good episode with you both back on our screens. It’s almost running like a dream.
Awesome XJ6, beaut of a car and it will be great to see it going again. I got a 1966 S Type going after sitting for 15 years and I had to clean the carbs out before it would run smoothly. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing other videos on the Jag.
Gorgeous old girl ! But….Haven’t you got a Mini to finish ? Only joking chaps 😂 all the best to you both. 👍
Stumbled on your channel !! so nice to see father and son working combination working on classics 👍👍👍
Wonderful times, reminds me of working on cars with my Dad.
Love it for the number plate alone!
great vid, great car, great guys ! enjoyed that bill from yorkshire
