Auction 22717:
Greenwich Concours d'Elegance Auction

This Tudor White over Biscuit leather XJ12 was purchased new by the vendor in September of 1979. With the Series III XJ only offered with the 4.2-liter straight six in the US, this is believed to be one of only six Series III XJ12s sold new to the United States.
Immediately recognizing its rarity, the long term owners of this car have meticulously maintained it. Always garaged and driven infrequently, it has fewer than 7,000 original miles on the clock. Complete with its service records, books, tools, and Heritage Certificate, it has won numerous shows and been judged at 99.99 points by the JCNA.
Surely one of, if not the, best examples extant, this low mileage, one-owner from new XJ12 is now ready for its next careful owner.
Sold for US$ 30,800 inc. premium
