Model history:

The classic Jaguar XJ sedans embodied the British style of upscale locomotion for two and a half decades. The elegant four-door models and rare coupés retained their basic character over three series. There were already in the Series I of the in-line six-cylinder from the XK and a V12 to choose from. The XJ models saved old design patterns for the feel-good atmosphere on board into modern times. With regard to the technology, however, efforts were always made to find a place at the front: elaborate landing gears ensured cat-like suppleness, skilful insulation for peace on board. The third XJ series stood out for its bumpers with rubber elements, but the fundamentally elegant body design remained largely untouched.

General information about the vehicle:

The Jaguar sedan released for auction in this auction is an XJ12 from the Series III produced from 1979 to 1992. This XJ12 with the VIN SAJJDALW4CC416050, which was first registered in Germany, dates from 1985 and comes first-hand. The so-called matching numbers are assumed and a history of the already partially restored limousine can be traced on the basis of a partially kept checkbook. The recently renewed TÜV will run until January 2024, and the car is already in possession of an H-approval.

Exterior colour/varnish/body:

Whether this gray Jaguar XJ12 has already been repainted over the years, the seller can not say with certainty - but it is clear that the body is in an original condition without modifications and all attachments and Cromzier elements on the exterior are preserved in neat and complete condition. In addition, the seller states that the Jaguar XJ12 is accident-free and also parking bumps at the front or rear of the vehicle are not objectionable. Characteristic of the XJ12 sedan are the classic Jaguar sedan silhouette and the 2 fuel caps at the rear of the Jaguar.

Exterior rims/brakes/chassis:

On original Jaguar alloy rims, tires of the brand Vredestein present themselves with a - according to the condition assessment of the seller - condition of 70-90%. Also 70-90% of their new condition attests to the current owner of the brake system of this British sedan and in the area of the chassis according to this no modifications can be mentioned.

Interior:

In keeping with the grey exterior colour, the interior of this Jaguar XJ12 is also grey: in addition to the grey leather seats, door panels and centre console, the wood veneer in the dashboard provides contrast. In addition to the 2-spoke leather steering wheel, there is also a sunroof, power steering, central locking and power windows on board this Jaguar. In addition, there is an accessory cassette radio in the radio compartment of the vehicle and air conditioning (which, according to the seller, is without function) in the interior. The headliner in the interior detaches from the vehicle at the rear. For a detailed overview of the interior, we refer to the other photos.

Mileage:

Various round instruments provide important information in the instrument cluster - the 6-digit speedometer of the Jaguar has a mileage of 199,950 kilometers. A partially kept checkbook is available and thus the mileage of the British sedan can be approximately traced. All instruments of the Jaguar XJ12 work perfectly.

Engine:

In the front of the car works a 5.3-liter V12 engine, which transmits an output of 295 hp via a 3-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. After consultation with the seller, final service work took place in 2020.

Subsoil:

Underbody protection can be discovered on the underside of the Jaguar: According to the seller, the sedan also got a cavity seal and on the whole only flash rust is to be criticized. With this XJ12 sedan, the future owner is elegant due to the noble color combination in gray / gray - a rich equipment, the classic silhouette and the 12-cylinder under the hood underline the luxurious claim of this Jaguar.
