Description:
The two-door coupés celebrated their world premiere in September 1973 at the Frankfurt IAA. After numerous delays the production began in 1975. Based on the Jaguar XJ sedan, only a 6-cylinder version was offered at the beginning. The powerful 5.3 liter XJ 12 C with a vinyl roof was manufactured between September 1975 and November 1977. With around 287 hp, the Jaguar reached a top speed of around 240 km/h and was nicknamed the “fastest vinyl roof in the world”.
Just 398 examples were made in this version, of which just 26 were left-hand drive!
The vehicle offered here was delivered via the car dealership British Leyland GmbH Düsseldorf in September 1977 and first registered on February 2, 1978 before the car was off- registered in 1993. After around 25 years of standing, the untouched original condition with a rust free body work of the Jaguar was sold to Hamburg and extensively partially restored by a specialist workshop. As part of the restoration, the paintwork on bare metal was renewed and the complete technic was overhauled in detail. This is a rare opportunity to purchase one of the top models of its time in a perfect revised original condition with a mileage of just 45.700 km.
