This is a concours-level show-winner condition 1976 Jaguar XJ12L sedan in the highly desirable British Racing Green with a Cinnamon leather interior.
This car was sold new in Portland, Oregon and spent its entire life there until recently as a garage-kept car by a Jaguar collector. This is a must-see car with the Jaguar Heritage Certificate and all paperwork.
The paint and interior are in practically new showroom condition, with the car having been treated to a chrome-off repaint in the original factory color about 5 years ago, and the front seats refinished with original-spec leather. All electronics and features work with no issues at all.
The original engine developed a cracked aluminum head issue and rather than remove and remill it, a new 5.3L Jaguar V12 engine from the same era with only 24k miles on it was discovered for sale by a restorer in Texas and that engine was installed in this car in October 2022, and it runs as a 24k mile engine should. The V12 cooling system has 82C thermostats installed and an automatic clutch fan, and the air conditioning was converted to R134 about 5 years ago. Electronic ignition was also installed at that time to replace the old unreliable Lucas OPUS ignition system and the car starts on the first turn. All fuel injection hoses are also new and the car has no major leaks or issues needing attention as all works were done recently.
The original cloth headliner and windshield seals were also replaced recently and the car needs nothing now other than a caring owner. The car was recently given a ceramic wax treatment and the body and chrome glow like a showroom new car.
Car is located in Palm Beach, Florida and has a clean title. Serious offers encouraged.
