Jaguar XJ6 (Series 2) 4.2 – Strathclyde Police
Jaguar XJ6 Series 2 4.2-litre
Strathclyde Police
The Jaguar Mk2 3.8-litre brought unmatched power and performance
to the compact saloon market in the early 1960s and became a firm
favourite among the officers who drove them. Many forces remained
loyal to Jaguar and adopted the groundbreaking 1968 XJ6 as a traffic
car to patrol Britain’s then rapidly expanding motorway network. The
example modelled was one of the last two XJ6s Series 2s purchased
by Dunbartonshire Constabulary. It is, however, presented in the livery
it wore after May 16th, 1975 when Strathclyde Police was created by
amalgamating eight forces into one unit matching the border
of the then new Strathclyde Regional Council
