This 1976 Jaguar XJ12L was first delivered to British Motor Cars of Portland in Oregon and is finished in British Racing Green over Cinnamon leather. The car was fitted with a fiberglass body kit in the 1980s, and the exterior was reportedly stripped and refinished in 2018. Power comes from a numbers-matching 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional features include air conditioning, aftermarket cruise control, a Pioneer head unit, a louvered hood, tinted glass, Series III taillights, four-wheel disc brakes, and 16″ Ronal wheels. The selling dealer recently acquired the car, and the brake booster is said to have been rebuilt in September 2021. This long-wheelbase XJ is now offered with a window sticker, an owner’s manual, service records, a replacement cruise-control stalk, and a clean Oregon title.

The car is said to have been fitted with a fiberglass body kit in the 1980s, and in 2018 the exterior was reportedly stripped, the body kit and trim were removed, and the car was refinished in its factory-delivered British Racing Green. The aftermarket bodywork is said to have repainted and refitted at that time along with replacement weatherstripping. Additional exterior details include a louvered hood, a debadged rear fascia with removed reverse lights, Series III taillights, and dual exhaust outlets exiting through the rear valance. The selling dealer notes rub marks in the window tint on the driver’s door.

Five-spoke 16″ Ronal wheels feature polished lips, body-color centers, and modified Jaguar hood badges as center caps. The wheels are mounted with 225/60 Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires, and disc brakes are equipped at each corner. The brake booster was reportedly rebuilt in September 2021.

The interior features Cinnamon leather seat upholstery along with a matching center console, door panels, and carpets. The wood-veneer dashboard features a contrasting black pad, and the footwells are protected by black floor mats. Additional amenities include a quartz clock, a Pioneer head unit, air conditioning, aftermarket cruise control, and a remote switch in the console to open the trunk. The selling dealer notes that the carpet is worn along the transmission tunnel in the driver’s footwell.

A three-spoke MOMO steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 13k miles and is said to have rolled over.

The 5.3-liter V12 is equipped with Lucas fuel injection derived from the Bosch D-Jetronic system and was rated at 244 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque when new. The car features upgraded fuel rails along with an Opus ignition, and the selling dealer notes that the catalytic converters have been removed.

The engine stamping matches the number shown on the tag affixed to the body.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The transmission is said to have been overhauled and fitted with a shift kit under previous ownership.

The window sticker lists initial delivery to British Motor Cars of Portland in Oregon along with equipment, colors, and a total manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $16,828.18. An owner’s manual, service records, and an uninstalled replacement cruise control stalk will accompany the car
