GENERAL DESCRIPTION: This absolutely stunning 1976 Jaguar XJ12 (Series II) Coupe turns heads wherever it is driven. The Jaguar XJ-C is a rare two-door pillar-less coupe version of the standard XJ four door sedan. This particular spec is an extremely hard to find example being one of only 1,855 V12 5.3 Coupes ever produced between 1975-1977. The XJ series is the epitome of that famous classic jaguar look. Long flowing body lines and wide wheel base make for an aggressive yet elegant looking machine. Accompanying the vehicle is the full toolkit, jack, owners and repair manuals along with extensive service records. We also have a new old stock XJC brochure in mint condition which comes with this car. We found it in an antique store in the Cotswolds, England. ENGINE: Power comes from a 5.3 liter V12 engine producing 244 hp and 269 lb-ft torque when new. Delivery of the power is super smooth. Press on the accelerator and the surge is truly breathtaking as you cruise down your favorite stretch of weekend driving road, freeway, commuter route, or anywhere you choose to take it. DRIVE TRAIN: The 3-speed automatic gear box shifts seamlessly between the gears. Factory installed tire size is 205/70-15 VR rated and current installed tire size is 215/65-15 V rated so although they are slightly wider, they have very similar rolling diameter (-1.2%) and speed rating to the factory spec. CHASSIS: The frame is clean and straight with zero rust. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine compartment is clean, straight and solid. With no evidence of accident damage. EXTERIOR: The laser straight body has recently been re-painted by the previous seller in its original midnight blue and it beautifully contrasts the chrome trim and wheels. The car was picked up by a previous owner as a very low mileage rust free example. The car was stripped to bare metal and coated in a rust inhibitor epoxy based primer before the paint was applied. The vinyl top was replaced along with any trim that was not in good shape. INTERIOR: The interior was also completely refinished. Crème beige leather seats match perfectly with zero cracks the door panels. Carpet and headliner are in fantastic condition. Dash is in original condition with all dials and gauges in good working order and an upgraded stereo player. |
