Comments from the seller
This is a very good example of one of the most beautiful Jaguar's of its time.
ABOUT THIS JAGUAR XJC
-Owned since early 2020 with extensive restoration works completed.
-I have knowledge of the history of the car since it was privately imported from the UK and some old documentation and photos of its earlier days, including the Jaguar certificate of history. Everything i have will be shared with the buyer.
MECHANICAL
-Original matching numbers engine, rebuilt in 2024 and has travelled only ~2,000km since. Runs beautifully.
-Engine rebuild included replacing all pistons, cylinders were bored and sleeved, which has future proofed the engine so expect no problems. Receipts available for works performed.
-Transmission converted to a GM T700 4 speed auto with overdrive, which is a pleasant upgrade from the original Jaguar 3 speed. We used the John's Cars Texas conversion kit which is well known for this purpose. The T700 allows for 100km/h driving at low 2,000s rpm and also performs better off the line than the original.
-Unmodified otherwise, aside from a manual choke which was fitted by a previous owner.
INTERIOR
-Leather in excellent condition for its age. Rear seats immaculate, drivers seat is good, passenger seat fair, it has some small cracks in the leather (see photo). The seats spent much of their life protected under sheep skins which has preserved them well.
-Vinyl dash in great state. Hood lining has been replaced and has no sags. All seat belts replaced.
-Walnut wood in great condition (many are not) and original Smiths gauges, all working correctly with LEDs installed
-Pillarless coupe with all electric windows, all functioning well including the monkey climb rear window mechansims that are unique to the XJC. The pillarless look is why I bought the car, it really is an attractive design
-Heating and air-conditioning both working well
-Carpets and mats match trim and are clean and in good condition
PAINT AND EXTERIOR TRIM
-Full strip back respray completed in Jaguar Regency Red. The colour is striking as evidenced in the photos
-Genuinely rust free car
-Chromework in very good condition
*Imperfection - clear coat issue* - The clear coat on the roof has split in several places, and minor splits also present on the bonnet and boot. See photos. The buyer may wish to return the XJC to its original black vinyl roof, or consider addressing the roof together with the bonnet and boot splits. This is really the only issue with the car.
I purchased the car to enjoy restoring and then driving it. It has been a pleasure to own with many enjoyable cruises with family and outings on sunny weekends. With 2 young children arriving since the restoration, my priorities have changed and I don't have the time to enjoy the car as often as it should be. Being a coupe it isn't well suited to child seats in the back! It is time to let someone else enjoy this beautiful Jag for many years to come. The buyer can have confidence that it will run well and can be enjoyed immediately, as the important restoration work has been done already. Aside from the issue mentioned is otherwise sound.
The XJC is one of the rarest Jaguars. Only ~10,000 were made in a short production run at the end of the XJ Series 2, as the XJS was released soon after. Only ~300 XJC's were sold in Australia, with others brought in by private imports including this car. Local Jaguar club information suggests around 150 XJCs remain on the road in Australia.
Prospective buyers are welcome to visit and take it for a drive which will not disappoint.
