Our 1983 Jaguar XJ-6 passed the 300,000 mile mark on 11 February 2010. The engine has never been apart, and still runs well.

I like how you were going 30mph when you passed 300k! Way to go!

@amcdonal86VT Just another coincidence. She is up to 317K miles now and still going strong. Using a bit more oil now, but who is complaining

Just passed 312K miles, and it is running better than it has in a long time. The 5 speed manual gearbox was a great modification.

Great video and nice back quiet backroad too. Way to go ! Just run in at 300k miles then. Chris and Helena in UK here Allen, you restored a 63 E type for us way, way back -20 years ago - where did the time go ? Great to see you and Mark still keeping the legends alive and would love to pay you a visit in Greenville one day for old times sakes one day.

What a surprise! I was thinking of you guys just the other day. I remember when you were here, it was in the middle of summer, and quite hot. It is anything but that now with snow over the weekend. Yep, the xj6 is a great car, as you say, barely run in. The engine has never been apart, with the exception of a loose tappet guide some years back. It would be great to see you guys again. BTW, being on that road was just a fortunate accident.

I have an '87 Vanden Plas. It has about 155,000 miles, but this gives me inspiration for believing that there are many wonderful years yet to come.

Looked like 30,00 to me. ( just having a joke)  Great job! I always drove Corvettes. One of the pre-requisite,s for doing so was a complete knowledge in auto mechanics! Drive it a 100 miles, and work on it a while. Wonderful post on the Jag.
