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, normally paired with Borg Warner's three-speed automatic transmission, however, this is a very desirable factory manual gearbox with overdrive example – one of only 100 built

Showing 37,486 miles, the car has seen very limited use in recent years and has been kept largely in long-term dry storage.

Finished in Old English White with black leather and only three owners from new

Acquired in 2020, the Jaguar has since formed part of the Birdingbury Collection, a carefully curated selection from a respected collector

Mechanical attention by Mortons Engineering in 2023 under current ownership includes a new clutch, flywheel refacing and balancing, a replacement brake fluid reservoir, a full ignition-system overhaul and a rebuilt fuel pump

Fresh to market, this rare Jaguar represents an exciting opportunity and is offered without reserve
