Presented here is this exceptional XJC delivered new in New Zealand by Shorter Jaguar on 26th September 1977. Finished in dark green with a green leather interior, this car was first registered to Mr Shorter himself under the company name until 1995, when Mr Shorter Jr took ownership of the car. In his possession until 2014 the car has a full Shorter Jaguar Main Dealer service history as one would expect and is in superb original unrestored condition.

With all of its original books contained in the leather Jaguar wallet and having covered a mere warranted mileage of 17,400 miles, this car is ready to show and with NOVA complete ready to drive once UK registration has been processed. Surely one of the finest XJC's to come to the market in recent time. A truly once in a lifetime opportunity......

Lot Number: 672

1977 Jaguar XJ 4.2C - 18,541 miles

Presented here is an exceptional right-hand drive XJC that was delivered new in New Zealand by Shorter Jaguar on 26/09/1977 and is showing only 18,541 miles on the odometer. Finished in British Racing Green with an Apple Green leather interior, this 4.2-litre six-cylinder car was first registered to Mr Shorter himself under the company name until 1995, when Mr Shorter Jr. took ownership of the car. In his possession until 2014, the XJ has a full Shorter Jaguar Main Dealer service history as one would expect.

This remarkable XJ-C was bought by our vendor from Silverstone Auctions in May 2015 and it has resided in his impressive private collection in the Isle of Man ever since. Accompanied by its history file and some original manuals contained in the leather Jaguar wallet, including the passport to service and having covered a mere 18,541 miles this is surely one of the finest XJCs to come to the market in recent times.
