Registration No: YFC 636RChassis No: 2J2576BWMOT: ExemptEntered from long-term ownership of over 20 yearsc. 111, 000 credible miles recorded and only five former keepersFinished in Fern Grey over a matching green leather interiorOffered for sale with a large history file, original tool kit roll and current Swansea V5CJaguar’s original XJ Saloon (retrospectively dubbed the Series 1) and its Daimler counterparts were introduced in 1968 and were the last models to have the personal input of Jaguar’s founder, Sir William Lyons. The striking two-door pillarless Coupe derivative was first shown five years later, at the 1973 London Motor Show. Production was heavily delayed, however, and did not get fully underway until 1975. The newcomer was based on the short-wheelbase Saloon and featured suitably lengthened versions of the standard car’s doors. There were two engine options – a 4. 2-litre version of the ubiquitous DOHC XK unit and the 5. 3-litre V12. The smaller-engined version came with the choice of manual or automatic gearbox. The silky-smooth suspension was independent all round, braking by discs at each corner, and steering by rack and pinion. A total of 10, 426 Jaguar and Daimler Coupes were produced before production ceased in 1978 – 8, 214 were bestowed with the 4. 2-litre engine.This particularly appealing XJ Coupé has been entered from long-term ownership of more than 20 years and has covered a credible c. 111, 000 miles from new with just five former keepers. Finished in the handsome combination of Fern Grey over a matching green leather interior, it presents as an especially attractive example of Jaguar’s iconic pillarless coupe. Offered with a large history file, original tool kit roll and current Swansea V5C document, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Jaguar’s most distinctive and desirable classic Grand Tourers.
