SUMMARY

Restored in 2018 and fitted with a 4.2-litre Series 3 engine, finished in Opalescent Gunmetal Grey over Ox Blood leather, this stunning XJC combines 1970s elegance with day to day usability.

DESCRIPTION

  • The Jaguar XJC was introduced in 1975 as a two-door pillarless coupé based on the Series 2 saloon, produced in limited numbers until 1978 and now regarded as one of the most distinctive XJs
  • Purchased in 2017 by our vendor who immediately commenced a bare metal restoration which included rebuilt suspension, new seals, stainless steel tread plates and much more. The work was finished in 2018 (full details in the Seller Rating)
  • Finished in Opalescent Gunmetal Grey, a period Jaguar colour also used on the E-Type, set off by four chrome wheels with matching spare and a fully retrimmed Deep Red leather interior with new red wool carpets
  • Fitted with a Series 3 4.2-litre fuel-injection XK engine paired with a refurbished gearbox, supported by dual fuel tanks, a cross-over valve, and a bespoke stainless steel exhaust system with larger tailpipes
  • Upgraded with a Series 3 wiring loom to operate the injection ECU, improved window switches, and a period-style DAB radio offering modern usability
  • Supplied with spare paint, some original parts, MOTs, supporting detailed history file with receipts and photographs of the restoration, a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, and a selection of show trophies.
  • Few pillarless coupés remain on UK roads today, and fewer still present in such outstanding condition
