Fast Facts

A rare and elegant example of Jaguar’s pillarless grand touring coupe, this 1977 Jaguar XJ-C V12 combines classic British luxury with smooth twelve-cylinder performance. Finished in striking red over a black interior, this right-hand-drive example has travelled just 27,197 km and remains in outstanding condition throughout. Retained in original specification and owned by the current custodian for 12 years, it represents a well-preserved and highly collectible Series 2 XJ-C.

The Details

Produced for only a short period, the XJ-C Coupe is one of the most distinctive models in Jaguar’s history, featuring frameless windows and a unique pillarless roofline that delivers true open-air motoring when all windows are lowered. This example is powered by Jaguar’s renowned 5.3-litre V12 engine, paired with a smooth automatic transmission, providing refined performance and effortless cruising capability.

Configured in right-hand drive, the car retains its original mechanical and cosmetic specification, with no known modifications or non-original components fitted. The exterior presents in excellent condition following a high-quality repaint, with immaculate paintwork showing no notable blemishes, chips or defects. Panel fit and overall presentation are consistent with careful long-term ownership.

The interior is trimmed in black and remains in excellent condition, with seats, carpets and dashboard presenting exceptionally well for the model’s age. All controls, switches and electrics are reported to be fully functional, with no warning lights or faults noted.

This example shows 27,197 km and is supported by a partial service history, with the most recent service completed in October 2025. The vehicle has been maintained regularly and remains mechanically well sorted.

Having been in the care of its current owner for more than a decade, and with no known accident history, this XJ-C reflects consistent enthusiast ownership and careful preservation.

With its low mileage, desirable V12 specification, original configuration and excellent presentation, this Jaguar represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest surviving examples of this increasingly sought-after classic coupe.

A refined and distinctive grand tourer — beautifully preserved, original, and ready to be enjoyed.
