Car sold on BAT on 7/25/17 For $7,600
bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-jaguar-xj12-2/

Auction description:
Lot #5150
Location: Saint Louis, Missouri
Chassis: UE2T51101BW
95k Miles Shown
GM 350ci V8
GM Automatic Transmission
Refurbished Eight Years Ago
Repainted
Refreshed Interior
Cold A/C

This 1974 Jaguar XJ12 was refurbished by the previous owner about eight years ago and is powered by a GM 350ci V8 mated to a GM automatic transmission. The powertrain was installed during the refresh, and a repaint and interior re-trim were conducted at the same time. The car was acquired by the selling dealer from the prior owner's widow five years ago, and it has since been driven about 4k miles. This Jaguar is now being offered for sale with records from the seller's ownership and a clean Missouri title.

This is a re-list after the car previously sold on BaT earlier this month and the winning bidder failed to follow through with his commitment purchase. The sale could not be not completed due to a buyer who backed out of the deal without a legitimate reason and not due to any fault with the car. That buyer has been banned from any futher participation in BaT Auctions and his buyer fee was not refunded.

Originally finished in Primrose, the car was given a high quality two-stage repaint in its current tan finish per the seller. The spare tire area in the trunk remains its factory shade. Panels appear straight, and there is reportedly no rust on the body, though some pitting is noted on the bumpers. New door and window seals were installed at the time of the repaint.

Seats were reupholstered in tan leather during the refresh, and new door panels, headliner, and a rear package tray were installed at the same time. A new dashboard was also fitted, and the restored wood trim displays a nice finish in the photos provided. The seller states that the clearcoat is starting to crack on the center console.

An older Alpine stereo was added, and all interior functions are said to work properly including the A/C. The 95k indicated miles are believed to be accurate.

The GM 350ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and automatic transmission were fitted eight years ago, and the seller notes smooth shifting and good power. Mileage on the engine at the time of the swap is unknown. Records from the seller's ownership are included, with a tune-up and oil change completed six months ago.

Sellers description:
This beautiful touring car is an absolute pleasure to drive and is in fantastic condition. Turns heads everywhere it goes.

1974 Jaguar XJ12, which has been repowered with a smooth, reliable and powerful chevy 350 crate motor.

Zero rust, no accidents, body and pans are perfect. One repaint, extremely high quality and in gorgeous near flawless condition (a few tiny rock chips on the front). Original leather interior is beautiful, very soft with no flaws - perfect condition. Original wood is stunning, no cracks. Carpet is perfect and it has brand new custom made Berber carpet floor mats. Trunk is perfect, new fully lined carpet kit.

The air conditioning blows cold and works great, factory options including power windows, power door locks, cruise control all work perfectly. All gauges and switches work. No issues. Dual fuel tanks, both work great. Newish tires with almost zero wear.

Suspension recently greased and brakes inspected. Car handles great and rides like a dream - drives like a modern car not a classic, it's actually quite impressive.

Wonderful driving car with all the rewards of a classic English sports saloon but the reliability and power of a professionally installed stock small block chevy. Handles like a new car.

Chassis: UE2T51101BW

Three-Speed Automatic Transmission

15" Wheels

Four-Wheel Disc Brakes

Private Party or Dealer: Private Party

Lot #98307

This 1974 Jaguar XJ12L was refurbished under prior ownership and is powered by a 350ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. The car was previously sold on BaT in July 2017 and was acquired by the seller in 2021. Finished in tan over matching leather, the car is equipped with an Edelbrock carburetor, bright bumpers and trim, 15″ wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, and an aftermarket stereo. This XJ12 is now offered at no reserve with a removed steering wheel and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The seller notes that the body was refinished in its current shade of tan under previous ownership. Equipment includes quad headlights, fog lights, a driver-side mirror, and dual exhaust outlets as well as a chrome-accented grille, window surrounds, and bumpers. Pitting in the bumpers and cracks in the C-pillars are shown in the gallery. The seller reports that the driver’s door is misaligned and the high beams are disconnected.

The 15″ wheels wear Jaguar center caps and are mounted with 215/75 Michelin Radial XH4 whitewall tires. The inboard rear rotors and pads are said to have been replaced in 2021. The seller notes a power steering fluid leak and that the car pulls to the right.

The tan leather upholstery was reportedly installed in 2009, and additional work at that time included refinishing the burl wood trim and replacing the door panels, headliners, and dashboard. A Jaguar-branded clock and an aftermarket stereo are fitted. There is cracking and wear on the center console, and the horn and right-rear inside door handle do not work. The seller notes that the air conditioning does not blow cold and that the right power windows are slow.

An aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The removed steering wheel is included in the sale. The five-digit odometer shows 4,200 miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The selector switch for the dual fuel tank system does not work.

The replacement 350ci V8 was installed in 2009 and features an Edelbrock carburetor with a polished air cleaner.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a GM souced three-speed automatic transmission.

This Jaguar has found a new home and I am going through the car and fixing/replacing/upgrading/repairing as needed. For the short term the 350 will stay while I decide if there's a Jaguar engine that might be a better fit.
