The seller offers for sale this Jaguar XJ12 Coupé from 1976. This coupe is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. The vehicle underwent an extensive body-off restoration between 2010 and 2020, during which significant investment was made to bring the car to its current condition. The restoration is supported by invoices, photographs, DVDs and detailed maintenance documentation. The car is finished in silver grey metallic with a contrasting black vinyl roof and is fitted with whitewall tyres. During the restoration the interior was renewed with bordeaux red leather upholstery and matching trim. In 2024 the braking system was replaced by a specialist workshop. The vehicle is accompanied by a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate and documentation relating to awards received at several Concours d’Elegance events.
The Jaguar XJ12 Coupé represents one of the most distinctive grand touring cars produced by Jaguar during the 1970s. Introduced as a two-door version of the XJ luxury saloon, the coupé combined elegant styling with the smooth performance of Jaguar’s famous V12 engine. The pillarless body design gave the car a sleek and refined appearance, while the powerful V12 provided effortless cruising ability. Produced for only a limited period, the XJ Coupé has become a sought-after model among collectors who appreciate its combination of luxury, performance and exclusivity. Today well-preserved or restored examples are valued for their refined driving character, distinctive styling and their place in Jaguar’s luxury grand touring heritage.
