1,874 V12 Coupes were produced and of these only 604 were produced in RHD; it is believed that less than 100 came to Australia.

We often use terms like “Concours Condition” and “as new condition”, this car really lives up to these expressions and it comes with 4 thick files to prove it. The first one contains every single registration paper and CTP green slip since new. The second one has every single receipt and invoice that has been spent on the car. The third one has correspondence from Jaguar Cars (Browns Lane), Bryson Industries, Heritage certificates, original sales brochure, and records and articles relating to the 40+ Concours awards the car has received, ranging from Class winner to Outright winner. The fourth one is its original owners wallet that contains the owners manual, the Warranty identification certificate, original body tag (new one fitted as original one slightly faded), and its passport to service which amazingly has every single stamp on time throughout its entire life.

On Sunday 31st August this year at the Jaguar Drivers Club of Australia Concours d’Elegance the car won best in class and was also the outright winner, this gives me confidence to say that the car is in 'Concours condition'.

It almost goes without saying that the car is matching numbers and is in its original Signal red with Biscuit trim. Importantly the car is not just a 'show pony', it is prepared and maintained to be used if required and runs faultlessly, it really does adhere to Sir William Lyons adage of 'Grace, Space and Pace'.

If you want THE best XJC V12 anywhere, I believe we have it.
