Auction description:

The Christmas Classic Car Sale 2022

Lot Number 154

1976 Jaguar XJ-S V12 5.3-Litre Pre-HE coupé

Rare, early-production, January 1976 car needing minor details to finish. Could be a worthwhile project.

ODOMETER READING 79000 Miles

Built on 15/01/1976 making this number 383 off the production line, a nice early example

Supplied in January 1976 to Henlys of London and was originally Midnight Blue with tan leather

The subject of a minor refurb in 1989 with new sills being fitted and a total repaint in Signal Red

More recently, the fuel tank has been restored and the car is nearly ready to be put back on the road

Supplied with a small history file including some invoices, old MOTs and its Heritage Certificate

The engine does turn over on the pulley but has not been started recently. We encourage and welcome your inspection

These very early cars are becoming increasingly sought after and with only a small amount of work required to return this car to the road, it could be a rather worthwhile project
