This is the 1979 Jaguar XJ6 SIII 4.2 Portland Beige in 1:43 scale by Matrix.
The 1979 Jaguar XJ6 Series III 4.2 was a refined blend of British luxury and performance, featuring updates by the famed Italian design house Pininfarina. Powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six engine delivering smooth and responsive performance, the XJ6 offered a driving experience that was both athletic and composed. What set this car apart from its competition was its combination of old-world craftsmanship—evident in its wood-veneer dashboard and Connolly leather seats—with cutting-edge engineering, including independent suspension and advanced ride comfort. The Series III updates introduced a sleeker roofline, larger windows, and subtle styling enhancements, making it more modern yet retaining Jaguar's unmistakable elegance. It stood out as a luxurious, driver-focused alternative to the stiffer, less engaging sedans of the era.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
