Sellers description:
1976 Jaguar XJ12C. Sold as is. Two door Silver Blue Coupe.

We are a Jaguar Service Center for 35 years and I've only had this one in the shop. This car was serviced by us approximately 35 years ago and then the car dropped out of sight. The car emerged from a 20 year hibernation (storage) in 2008. This is an original owner car. After examination it was decided to rebuild the V-12 engine, the transmission, the refurbishment of the differential assembly, complete braking system, front suspension, and cooling system. Upon starting the engine it was discovered that the twin fuel tanks had not faired well during the storage years. New fuel tanks and sending units are included in the sale. Unfortunately the owner passed away after investing approx. $35,000.00 in restoring this car. This car does need finishing. All original parts are included, such as original chrome plated steel wheels and fuel tank panels. No rust. Nice blue leather interior. A great winter project for those of you in the northern states. All of the "heavy" lifting has been done.

Sellers description:
1976 Jaguar XJ12C. Two door Silver Blue Coupe. This is one of 1,269 12 cylinder two door coupes ever built. . Many consider this one of the most beautiful and rare Jaguars there is.

The car is currently at a Jaguar Service Center of 35 years. This car was serviced by them approx 35 years ago and then dropped out of sight. The car emerged from a 20 year (storage) in 2008. This was an original owner car wanting a no expense spared restoration. After examination it was decided to rebuild the V-12 engine, the transmission, the differential assembly, complete braking system, front suspension, and cooling system. Once engine rebuild was complete and upon starting the engine it was discovered that the twin fuel tanks needed replacing. Unfortunately at that point the previous owner passed away after investing approx. $35,000.00 in restoration, $27000.00 in parts alone. I bought the car at that point and have since replaced the tanks and pumps with new. I have added new XJR rims and tires shown. A list of all parts and labour breakdown can be supplied by email, all parts were new. Final tune and interior assembly is all that remains. The shop is wiling to complete for a reasonable labour rate, I however have moved on to another project and wish to pass it on to someone else who appreciates these cars.

The car is located in Miami and the owner of the Jaguar Service Center is willing to speak with anyone who is seriously interested. I have set the reserve at $5000.00 which is what I purchased it for a year ago. Since I have put another 2k into tanks and wheels, my loss but I want it gone or finished.

Some of the photos are from a year ago before the tanks and bumpers were installed and the rims were put on. The back rims are the only ones currently on the car as some minor adjustments need done to install the fronts. The one rear rim shot shows the tank installed although the filler cap was not yet installed.

There are some minor paint chips on the car in the usual spots on the hood but there is NO RUST. The only rust found on the car was under the rear seat and has been cut out and replaced and sealed.

These are a fabulous driving car as I have owned them and many Jaguars in the past. With everything new and tight on this car it will be a joy to drive to whoever is lucky enough to pick it up.
