Renovated engine, brakes, suspension, steering, and bushes and bearings
Beautiful original interior with walnut dashboard
4.2L I6 powerplant with 3-speed automatic transmission
The Appeal
In 1975, Jaguar introduced the XJ-C - a short run of luxury pillarless hard-tops. Only 9,378 were built - but it made quite the impact. Their rarity, luxurious trims and distinctive design have made the XJ-C a very desirable classic - and a signature piece of mid-70s luxury.
This particular vehicle stands out thanks to the amount of work put into it while in its current ownership, resulting in a fabulously appointed, renovated classic.
