Condition

Tidy engine bay Very good paint and exterior plastic Very good interior with hardly any wear on the upholstery Very clean underneath All original and with just 6,955 miles on it Judged 999 points by JCNA The Series III XJ came to the US primarily equipped with the 42 liter XK straight six, and only six of these twelve cylinder cars are thought to have been sold here Buying a neglected V 12 Jag is financial suicide, but this fantastic babied from new example is the complete opposite of neglected Its rare, its beautiful and its very cool

Market commentary

The XJ 12 is a relatively affordable V 12. This all original car is among the very best that exists and an incredibly rare sight in this country, making its under estimate price somewhat remarkable.
