1972 Jaguar XJ6L Sedan

Here is a genuinely special 1972 Jaguar XJ6L Sedan that blends elegant British luxury with unmistakable Hollywood provenance. Originally a California car, it was previously owned by acclaimed actor Ray Milland — star of Dial M for Murder and The Lost Weekend — and even appeared on screen in Natalie Wood’s final film, The Last Married Couple in America. Purchased from the Milland Estate in 1997 and brought to Massachusetts in 2021, this XJ6L benefits from a comprehensive 1997 restoration that included a rebuilt, balanced, and blueprinted engine treated to a Vortec supercharger and modern fuel injection. Finished in a rich Mink paint over a custom velour interior, it presents beautifully and carries a story few classics can match. With a little mechanical recommissioning, it is ready to be enjoyed and proudly shown by its next caretaker.
