1975 Jaguar XJ12C V12 5.3 Silver with Black Leather, 66,000 Miles

For sale by Sports Car Classics is this wonderfully preserved early Jaguar XJ12C.

Over the years we have dealt with and restored many classic Jaguars including XJS's & XJ's and E-type's. We rarely find such well preserved original early version of this iconic Jaguar.

Bodywork

The car appears to by structurally very good and rust free and still appears to be in its original paint. It does however have some visual rust bubbles in some isolated areas, please see pictures of all effected areas. The lacquer on the paintwork is flacking off in most areas and therefore will require a repaint.

Interior

The interior on this car is in very good order and appears to have been re-upholstered at some point. The head lining is hanging down as usual and will require redoing.

Mechanical

The car will require a mechanical restoration. The cam shafts, cam carriers and Fuel injection system is missing. We would simply replace the engine complete with EFI from a a later XJS. We have carried out many re commissions on the wonderful rare cars and such presents no problem for us to carry out such work. Please enquire for further information.

History

The car is believed was one registered owner up to November 2017. The car was bought new in Ventura California in 1975, when the original owner passed away the son kept the car until last November. At some point the 1st owner started to carry out a light mechanical refresh which is where the parts went missing. The car and has well documented history including the original owner's manual and service book.

Summary

Early un restored XJC's like this seldom come on the market and are becoming very difficult to acquire. The Jaguar XJ Coupe has already established itself as an iconic British Classic Car. Therefore, this is a unique opportunity to get into this mark at realistic value.
