The ad say it’s an xj6, is that right? I thought there was something that the later years of the III
were all V 12’s
Maybe it’s just me, but I never think an XJ6 looks good in red.
You are correct, because the SIV (XJ40) engine bay wasn’t able to take a V engine they carried the S111 body through so anything post 1988 with a V12 is this body.
And HEY Wiggs my S11 was red 
Ah, but they figured out a way to shoehorn in the 6L V12 in the XJ40 (was the XJ81 for reference) in 1994, requested by management to compete against MB and BMW. I have to say, it’s the best super sedan they ever built, even in comparison to the XJR in both 6 and V8 form. It gets and never stops pulling like a train.

Yes but it had re-tooled engine bay.
Not by much, the inner fender well stampings are identical. The V12 is a very narrow engine / the S3 aperture is tighter than an XJ40.
That’s a S3, likely a late ‘83 as it has the trip computer in the center stack vs. a clock.
