The Jaguar saloon being offered for auction is an XJ12 from the Series III, produced from 1979 to 1992. This XJ12, registered for the first time in Germany, with VIN SAJJDALW4CC416050, is a 1985 model and has been owned by a single proprietor. It is assumed to have matching numbers, and its history, including a partially restored saloon, can be traced through a partially completed service booklet. The recently renewed German roadworthiness certificate (TÜV) is valid until January 2024, and the car already holds historic vehicle registration (H-Zulassung).

Whether this gray Jaguar XJ12 has been repainted over the years, the seller cannot say for certain. However, it is clear that the body is in original condition without any modifications, and all exterior trim and chrome elements are in good and complete condition. The seller also states that the Jaguar XJ12 is accident-free, and even minor parking dings to the front or rear are not to be considered. Characteristic features of the XJ12 sedan include the classic Jaguar sedan silhouette and the two fuel filler caps at the rear.

The tires are Vredestein brand, mounted on original Jaguar alloy wheels, and are in 70-90% condition, according to the seller. The current owner also attests that the brake system of this British limousine is in 70-90% of its original condition, and according to him, no modifications have been made to the chassis.

Matching the gray exterior, the interior of this Jaguar XJ12 is also finished in gray: Besides the gray leather seats, door panels, and center console, the wood veneer on the dashboard provides a striking contrast. In addition to the two-spoke leather steering wheel, this Jaguar is equipped with a sunroof, power steering, central locking, and power windows. Furthermore, there is an aftermarket cassette radio in the radio compartment and air conditioning (which, according to the seller, is not working). The headliner is detached from the rear of the car.

Various gauges in the instrument cluster provide important information – the Jaguar's six-digit odometer reads 199,950 kilometers. A partially completed service history is available, allowing the mileage of this British sedan to be approximately verified. All instruments in the Jaguar XJ12 function perfectly.

Under the hood of the car is a 5.3-liter V12 engine, which delivers 295 hp to the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission. According to the seller, the last service was performed in 2020.

Underbody protection is visible on the underside of the Jaguar. The seller states that the sedan also received cavity sealing, and overall, only surface rust is present. With its elegant gray/gray color combination, this XJ12 sedan will provide its future owner with a sophisticated driving experience. A wealth of features, the classic silhouette, and the 12-cylinder engine under the hood underscore the luxurious character of this Jaguar.
