This Canadian-market 1985 Jaguar XJ12 Vanden Plas has remained registered in Ontario since new and shows 35k kilometers (~22k miles). Powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, the car is finished in Antelope over Doeskin leather. Features include a limited-slip differential, a sunroof, a power antenna, 15″ Kent vented alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows. Acquired by the seller in 2026, this Series III XJ12 Vanden Plas is offered in Canada with a clean US Carfax report and Ontario registration.

The Pininfarina-styled bodywork is finished in Antelope (AFM) and features a power sunroof, a power antenna, power-adjustable side mirrors, bright trim, Vanden Plas pinstriping, and dual exhaust outlets.

The 15″ Kent vented alloy wheels are fitted with Nexen tires that were mounted ~1k miles ago, and braking is handled by ventilated front and solid inboard rear discs. Rack-and-pinion power steering as well as independent rear suspension with twin-coilover damping were equipped from the factory.

The seating surfaces are trimmed in Doeskin leather (AEE), while burl wood accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Interior equipment includes an AM/FM/cassette stereo, a trip computer, air conditioning, cruise control, adjustable rear reading lights, and power windows and locks. The air conditioning system was serviced in preparation for the sale.

The two-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 260-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for oil pressure, voltage, fuel level, and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer shows 35k kilometers (~22k miles).

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 295 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale, and results from a July 2026 safety inspection is available.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Turbo-Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
