1979 Jaguar XJ12 Series 3 For Sale

Superb example with amazing history file and provenonce thanks to being featured in official Jaguar calendar. Framed promotional material from the photoshoot all included. Garage stored although used regularly for shows and events, photos taken after a 180mile round trip. Large box of spares included, coolant parts, wheel trims and an exhaust tip! Interior in good order with original radio, although new speakers have been fitted.
5 previous owners listed on the V5C. As with all cars of this age, there are items that need some attention and some items that are just fantastic. The engine when cruising is just fabulous, around time the gearbox is silky smooth and the brakes are sharp, so sharp you need to be reminded that ABS doesn't exist and a stomp on the brakes will mean a lockup.
The heater control valve in the dashboard that is vacuum driven has a leak that hasn't been identified where, so the blowers are cold only at the moment. The aforementioned aerial, there is a switch that should control the aerial height, this isn't connected and neither is the cigar/ cigarette lighter. There are a few areas where the paint and body could do with some minor attention which has been quoted as a £500 job to complete and if I had the space and desire to keep the car I would do this over any other issues as at shows people love to spot the cosmetics.
