Refined presence. Grand touring soul. A rare blend of coupe styling and V12 grace.

Power & Co are proud to present this elegant 1978 Jaguar XJC V12 Coupe, finished in Regency Red with a factory black vinyl roof and black leather interior.

Produced in limited numbers and only available for a short period, the XJC V12 is a rare and desirable variant of the iconic Series II XJ line — combining the sweeping two-door coupe form with Jaguar’s legendary 5.3-litre V12 engine and trademark refinement. This is a luxury GT car with real presence designed to cover long distances with ease and composure.

This example presents beautifully inside and out, with chrome details, polished Kent alloy wheels and period correct badging all contributing to a classic British look that remains unmistakable. Inside the XJC’s low-slung profile is paired with supple black leather, rich burr walnut veneers and original switchgear, offering a genuine 1970s luxury experience.

Highlight Feature:
One of fewer than 2,000 XJC V12s produced — a true collector’s piece with timeless elegance.

Power is delivered by the silky 5.3-litre V12 paired with an automatic gearbox. Performance is smooth and effortless with a grand touring ride quality that reflects the models original brief. These coupes were some of the most expensive and prestigious Jaguars of their era, aimed at those seeking exclusivity, comfort and performance in one elegant package.

The XJC has had 6 previous keepers and only covered 45,500 miles in its 45 years which isn’t to bad by any standards. Having been off the road for quite some time this XJC has been thoroughly inspected and all issues taken care of as part of the recommissioning process. Work carried out is below:
