1976 Jaguar XJ12C
CHASSIS NO: UG2G51006BW

• High-style, luxuriously appointed V-12 Grand Tourer
• “Garage find”; Texas vehicle from new
• Very rare as 1 of only some 1,800 produced 1975-1978
• Warranty book included with original purchase details

This 1976 Jaguar XJ12C is a very rare and interesting “garage find.” Factory-equipped with a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox, the Jaguar is verified by its warranty booklet to have been delivered new via Jaguar distributor British Motors of Monterey, California to Norman Foster Investments, Inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas on December 31, 1976. According to an insurance letter on hand, the car was under the ownership of John M. Anderson, also of Corpus Christi, by 1981 and the Texas license plates on the car indicate the Jaguar was last road-registered in 1984. Highly complete and intact, the Jaguar shows the wear consistent with regular use when newer and, at some point, it has undergone some electrical work and comes with a spare wheel and tire, plus the aforementioned documents.
