This 1975 Jaguar XJ12 coupe is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Fern Grey over Moss Green leather upholstery. Additional equipment includes a black vinyl roof, an AM/FM stereo, automatic climate control, and power windows. Approximately $19k of work has been performed since 2018, and it has included repairing the passenger exhaust valve seats, refreshing the front brakes, rebuilding the water pump, and replacing the fuel injection wiring harness, radiator, power steering pump, suspension bushings, wood dashboard trim, and AC compressor and drier. This XJ12 coupe was acquired by the selling dealer in 2023 and is offered at no reserve with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, partial service records, and Connecticut registration.

The pillarless XJ coupe was based on the short-wheelbase Series II XJ and this example was finished from the factory in Fern Grey. Features include light green pinstripes, a black vinyl roof, front mudflaps, dual fuel fillers, and bodyside trim.

Chrome-finished 15″ steel wheels are wrapped in 205/70 Pirelli P5 tires that were mounted in 2019. Replacement upper shock mount bushings were installed in 2018 and brake work performed at that time included replacing the front brake calipers, pads, and hoses. In July 2022, the steering gear was rebuilt and the power steering pump, rear radius arms, and wheel hubs were replaced along with bushings for the sway bar, lower control arms, and front subframe. A brake fluid flush was also performed at that time.

The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in Moss Green leather upholstery that extends to the center console and door panels. Green carpets are present and amenities include automatic climate control, an AM/FM stereo, a locking glove box, and power windows. The wood dashboard trim was replaced in 2019, the headrests were re-stuffed in 2020, and a brake light switch was fitted in January 2021. Additionally, the air conditioning system received a replacement compressor and drier in 2019 and the refrigerant was last serviced in 2021. Splitting is evident on the driver’s headrests, and the driver’s seat shows wear.

The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges displaying fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and battery voltage. A replacement oil pressure gauge was installed in 2019. The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles, though total mileage is unknown.

The 5.3-liter V12 is fitted with electronic fuel injection and delivers power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. In 2018 the exhaust seats on the right cylinder head were repaired, the water pump was rebuilt, and two valves were replaced along with the radiator, fan clutch, and three fuel injectors. The fuel injection wiring harness and engine computer temperature sensor were replaced in 2020. Work completed in July 2022 included repairing the fuel injector wiring, an oil change, and replacing the spark plugs, and air filters.

The driveshaft was removed and the transmission mount and side pads were replaced in 2020, followed by replacement of the differential gasket and fluid in July 2022.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate lists a manufacture date of April 8, 1975 along with factory serial numbers and interior and exterior colors.
