This 1973 Jaguar XJ12 is a Series I short wheelbase sedan that was acquired by the seller in 2000 reportedly following a period of storage. The car is finished in brown over tan leather upholstery and is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes chrome bumpers, four-wheel disc brakes, wood interior trim, power windows, air conditioning, and a Panasonic AM/FM cassette stereo. The air conditioning compressor was replaced under current ownership along with the left head gasket, axle seals, shocks, rear brake rotors, and the front and rear subframe bushings. This XJ12 is offered with service records, uninstalled parts, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in brown with quad headlights, a chrome grille, bumpers, and trim, and dual side mirrors, fuel filler caps, and exhaust outlets. Dings on the right-front door and left-front fender are shown in the gallery below along with cracking paint near the left fuel filler cap.
Bright-finished 15″ wheels wear Jaguar-branded center caps and are mounted with 215/70 Hankook Radial H714 tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The shocks and rear brake rotors were replaced in 2022 along with the front and rear subframe bushings.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a contoured rear bench trimmed in tan leather. Wood trim adorns the dash and door panels, and the car is fitted with a replacement headliner, power windows, air conditioning, and a Panasonic AM/FM cassette stereo. Cracks are visible on the top of the dash and on the driver’s seat bottom, and the seller notes that the upholstery is stiff. The air conditioning compressor was replaced and the system was recharged in January 2022. The factory radio is included in the sale.
A leather-wrapped Nardi steering wheel frames a Smiths 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer. Auxiliary gauges mounted above the center stack display voltage, oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 60k miles, approximately 16k of which were added by the seller. The clock is not functional.
The 5.3-liter V12 is equipped with Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and a Crane Cams Fireball ignition. The left-side head gasket was replaced in 2004 by XK’s Unlimited of San Luis Obispo, and a replacement radiator was fitted in 2013 along with a coolant-crossover pipe modification. The seller notes an oil leak and that a portion of the emissions system was removed and is included with the car.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The rear axle was fitted with replacement seals in 2022 at which time the exhaust gaskets were also replaced.
The serial number tag shown above indicates car number UD1P51086BW, while the California title shows a VIN of J73UD1P51086BW [note, the J73 prefix indicates original California delivery].

This 1973 Jaguar XJ12 is a Series I short-wheelbase sedan that was acquired by the seller on BaT in October 2022 following long-term ownership. Subsequent work involved rebuilding the quadruple Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, cleaning the dual fuel tanks and changing the sending unit, filter, and lines, and replacing the rear transmission seal, camshaft cover gaskets, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, ignition wires, and distributor cap and rotor. The car is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and finished in brown metallic over tan leather. Equipment includes power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, bright 15″ wheels, air conditioning, power windows, a leather-wrapped Nardi steering wheel, and a Panasonic AM/FM cassette radio. This XJ12 is offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, service records, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in brown metallic with chrome bumpers and trim, quad headlights, and dual side mirrors, fuel filler caps, and exhaust outlets. There are dings on the left-front fender and right-front door as well as cracking paint near the left fuel filler cap. The turn signals were replaced in 2023.
Bright 15″ wheels wear Jaguar-branded center caps and are mounted with 215/70 Landsail tires up front and Hankook Radial H714 rubber out back. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and the rear rotors were replaced along with the shock absorbers and front and rear subframe bushings in 2022. Work under current ownership included changing the brake lines, servicing the power steering rack, and flushing the respective fluids.
The front bucket seats and rear bench are trimmed in tan leather while wood trim adorns the dashboard and door panels. The air conditioning compressor was replaced and the system was recharged in 2022, and additional appointments include power windows and a Panasonic AM/FM cassette radio. The seller notes that the sun visors were reupholstered under current ownership. Cracks are noted on the driver seat and dashboard.
A leather-wrapped Nardi steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer while gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level are positioned centrally on the dash. The Kienzle analog clock is not functional. The five-digit odometer shows 61k miles, approximately 800 of which were added by the seller. The seller states that the speedometer cable was replaced along with dashboard lights under current ownership.
The 5.3-liter V12 is equipped with quadruple Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and a Crane Cams Fireball electronic ignition system. Service under current ownership involved rebuilding the carburetors, cleaning the dual fuel tanks and replacing the sending unit, filter, and lines, and changing the camshaft cover gaskets, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor, vacuum lines, heater control valve, and battery.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The rear axle seals and exhaust gaskets were replaced in 2022 and the rear transmission seal and mounts were changed along with the driveshaft carrier bearing and universal joints under current ownership.
The car number “UD1P51086BW” while the current California title prepends the VIN with “J73”.
