The Jaguar XJC (also known as the XJ Coupé) is a rare, two-door pillarless coupé version of the flagship Jaguar XJ Series II saloon. Produced for a very brief window between 1975 and 1978, it is widely celebrated by enthusiasts as one of the most beautifully proportioned and elegant designs ever to leave the Coventry factory

Powered by Jaguar's stalwart 4.2-litre straight-six twin-overhead cam XK engine, paired here with Borg Warner's smooth three-speed automatic transmission

This impressive example is classically presented in British Racing Green with a gold pinstripe, signature black Everflex roof and chromed steel wheels

The well preserved interior is upholstered in tan hide and matching vinyl complemented by Cinnamon carpets

Originally registered in May 1975, this XJC was known to our vendor well before purchasing, having belonged to his neighbour, the original owner - and subsequently his son - before being sold to our vendor in 2001

Benefitting from continuous specialist care throughout current ownership by marque specialists Marcus Barclay. Recent attention includes a lubrication service, brake fluid change and engine bay clean, with the most recent service carried out in April 2025

The history file includes an incredible 33 MOT Certificates dating back to 1981 alongside a comprehensive run of invoices, evidently serviced without expense spared to keep the venerable Jaguar in fine fettle

At the time of cataloguing, the odometer displayed just 35,426 miles and, given the provenance within the history folder, the mileage may well be accurate

Arguably now appreciated as the embodiment of Jaguar's motto of 'Grace..Space..Pace', this cherished XJC is well worthy of serious consideration
