Lot number 21
Hammer value N/S (est. £6,000 - £7,000)
Description Jaguar XJ12 LWB
Registration RYD 999L
Year 1973
Colour Old English White
Engine size 5,236 cc
Chassis No. 2C1484BW
Engine No. 7P45495B

This car was purchased by the vendor in 2009 having been in long term storage. 10 old MOTs accompany the car showing that by 1981 it had covered just 26,000 miles, a total which had crept up to just 37,000 by 1997. The car was re-commissioned and is MOTd until September 2013. A re-conditioned gearbox was fitted, along with 4 new tyres on re-furbished wheels, a new hose kit and HT leads. The car was given a quality bare metal re-spray in the original Old English White, whilst internally the head lining was re-fitted. Said to run smoothly on all 12 and drive well, it comes with its old V5 document. Given its rarity and the renaissance in Series 1 XJ saloons, this low mileage example looks good value at the suggested guide price.
