We are pleased to present this excellent example of restored, British nostalgia. A Jaguar XJC 4. 2 Saloon from 1975 stands proud in our showroom here at Duke of London. Its current vendor has lovingly restored and invested in this vehicle over recent years, which hails testament today to its superb condition.
The XJC is a two door Coupe version of Jaguar’s very successful XJ Series 2 saloons. It was
produced in the mid to late 1970’s and just under 10, 500 were built for global distribution. This
model meets us in the middle in 1975, combining the class of a sedan with the more sporty style of a coupe.
With a sleek and aerodynamic silhouette that commands attention. Effortlessly blending classic
lines alongside a low-slung symmetrical profile. Subtle cues of the power that lies beneath can be seen from the dual exhaust design at the rear. Equipped with a 4. 2 litre inline-six engine,
producing around 245bhp and 283lb of maximum torque. It offers smooth acceleration and
effortless cruising capabilities, making it an ideal choice for touring. The engine is complimented
by a four-speed gearbox, delivering power to the rear wheels. A luxuriously comfortable interior
which can accommodate up to four passengers in its plush, original, black leather seats. The
dashboard features a classic layout adorned with a wood veneer patina with chrome accents
throughout. Creature comforts include, operational sunroof, quartz clock, climate control, and a
high-quality sound system.
Over the course of 2019 - 2023 this vehicle has been subject to over £11, 700 worth of parts and
labour from the renowned JagShop in Shepherd's Bush. See below for details:

Today the car drives and presents very well. Structurally, you have peace of mind knowing that the usual XJC achilles-heel rust-prone-areas have already been properly tackled. The paint has some minor marks in areas but is overall very presentable. The interior is original and has a great patina. The front drivers seats both have tears in the bases but we could discuss arranging to have these repaired or replaced for the new owner. To drive, the car is superb. It is smooth, comfortable and powerful - just as it should be.
This 1975 Jaguar XJC 4. 2 would be a prized possession for any car enthusiast or
collector. Representing a significant part of British automotive heritage and showcasing the
craftsmanship and engineering prowess of Jaguar during that era. Owning such a vehicle would
allow one to experience the nostalgia and timeless appeal of what was once British motoring.
As with all of our vehicles, we have a digital folder available on request containing more images,
walk-around videos, pictures of the underside and scans of the service history. The car can be
viewed by appointment at our West London showroom.
