On the road this is a vehicle that exudes a presence and refinement in taste few other cars can match while remaining small in form and agile in function. As this is a fine wine classic it requires a sophisticated individualistic owner of good taste to appreciate. This is a car that can move off briskly when asked, but is happiest calmly threading through the twisting turning roads of the countryside or cruising the open roads that exist in a still night. I have used this car as such, but recent expeditions have been infrequent given the necessity for me to operate other cars in the collection to keep them in good order and the limitations on how often I can escape my responsibilities to do so. Therefore this lovely Jag is available from my own collection. I encourage you or your representative to come and view this Jag to verify fit, finish and function. On history, condition and specification: Investment grade classic. The original owner passed the Jag onto his son. The restoration was done to the highest standards approximately 10 years ago and it looks fantastic. I am the third owner if you count the son as the second. The car is currently part of my collection and is regularly exercised and all maintenance items have been attended to. Refinished wood, leather interior fitted to original specifications, carpet replaced (Wilton wool), replaced headliner, Painted in original color with glass out and body stripped of all trim and paint. replaced windshield and seal, replaced rear window seal, new door seals. New tires, new fuel pump this year, carburettors rebuilt this year, spark plug wires, cap rotor and points, fully serviced, freshly rebuilt generator, rebuilt regulator, this year re-cored radiator, new stainless exhaust, new brake booster, new tachometer drive, new speedometer cable, new water pump, new coolant hoses, and brand new SU fuel pump... All parts used were always factory parts, nothing aftermarket. Engine fully rebuilt around 10 years ago and runs like the day it was done with no fault. An amazing car that comes with a complete story and extensive documentation back to the initial purchase. This car would be a nice addition to any fine collection or an excellent fit for an owner/driver to use and enjoy regularly or on those rare occasions. Completely serviced and drives flawlessly. Starts perfectly synchros are perfect, shifts smooth, excellent acceleration and handling. This Jag is a wonderful experience to drive. This was always a fair weather car it has no rust and it has no filler. There are no patch panels. The entire car is 100% original steel including the floor pan and trunk. No metal repairs were necessary anywhere on the vehicle nor carried out due to the dry nature of the vehicles life and exemplary storage conditions. The history on this particular car is very complete. It was originally special ordered and purchased at the jaguar factory in England by an American for $3845.00 or 1858.00pds, I still have the original British license plate and all documentation including approximately 20 letters of correspondence between the original owner and the factory for parts up to 1975. Also with the car are extensive service invoices from the early sixties through a few years ago. The specification ordered and fitted was SE package, Leather, 2.4, Manual and Left hand drive as the original owner expected to send the car back to the US when he was done visiting the country. He left the country before the car did. Due to this fact the car was stored near the Docks of Southhampton at the British Railways garage for a period accumulating a bill around 200pds. The MK1 was eventually sent back to the US on the SS United States. He kept this car until his passing in the early nineties and from reading his correspondence with the factory maintained the car to a standard second to none. This lovely Jag drives out wonderfully, starts with a flip of the key and a push of the button. There will be no disappointments with this car. I am positive the new owner will be most pleased with the condition of this rare example. If any questions arise please feel free to call me at 651.342.0928 Also, I can certainly assist with either domestic or international shipping.

Jaguar : XJ12 Short Wheelbase 1973 jaguar xj 12

$22,500

Stillwater, Minnesota

1973 Jaguar XJ12 SWB. The rarest production Jaguar ever made. Only made between July 1972 and August 1973. This car was originally special ordered by a board member of the Jaguar North America dealer network. Only (3) V12 SWB XJ12s with chrome air cleaners were built. The other two also went to fellow members. The other two are Primrose Yellow on Biscuit and British Racing Green on Black. The Yellow one sold about 6 months ago at auction to Germany and the BRG one sold two years ago to a collector in Washington state. Initially Sir William Lyons had designed the incoming XJs engine compartment to take the V12, then under final development, from the start. This would be the last Jaguar Sir William Lyons would design before his retirement. The original Lyons XJ design is the purest form of the model that would continue into 1987 in the US and 1992 ROW. However, even though the V12 was supposed to be the only engine on offer the times changed and the smaller inline-6 engines became more common and thus are relatively plentiful in varying conditions by comparison. The S1 XJ12 model was the choice car for the Jaguar founder and was maintained as his regular car for many years into his retirement. It has been frequently noted by the man himself that the XJ was his proudest accomplishment and favorite car he had created far above the E-Type, XKs, MKs and SS cars. One only has to drive the original XJ to see why he came to that conclusion. It simply was a massive leap in refinement beyond all of the companies offerings at the time. The S1 is also noted to be considered the best looking sedan of all time. Among enthusiasts of the marque the S1 is considered the first and last truly well built XJ before the strikes and cost cutting measures of BL that pushed Jaguar to bankruptcy and into the hands of Ford in the late 80's. This particular XJ12 is turn key. The fuel system, brakes, cooling system, alternator, ignition system, and the transmission have been completely rebuilt. The car rests on new Goodyear tires on all four corners. It goes, steers, shifts and stops like a new XJ12 would. Idle is 700 rpm in park and neutral, 550 in drive. At idle oil pressure is just under 40psi - 80psi when driving. The oil I am using is 15-40 Shell Rotella. With the lights and radio on at idle the alternator is charging at 13V this goes up to 13.5V over idle and stays there. The water temperature gauge stays around the O in normal when driving and never goes past the R. The paint and chrome is excellent throughout as is evidenced in the photos. There is no rust anywhere on this car. This vehicle is collector quality and completely show worthy as it stands. Every single electrical item functions perfectly. Windows, Gauges, Clock, Antenna, Radio, Lights, Wipers (Park and both speeds), Fuel sensors, Fuel switchover valve, Air conditioning, Blower motors (both of them), Hazards, Turn signals (both directions self-cancel), Horns... The interior is completely original and smells like a Jaguar should. Low miles, care, and climate controlled storage have maintained the leather and wood in exceptional condition. There are no cracks or crazing in the wood on the dash or doors. There are also no cracks in the dash cover. The door seals are all perfect and malleable. The vent window seals have been replaced. There is absolutely no wind noise whatsoever in the car at freeway speeds and beyond. The loudest thing you can hear at 70-80mph is the clock. This is a three owner car. The original owner was on the board of Jaguar North Americas dealer network at the time in California. He kept the car until 1976-77. The second owner received it from her husband as their Silver anniversary gift and it resided in Washington state. I am the third. 651.342.0928
