Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 407 votes
SUPPLIED TO A MR R WAGNER ON THE 18TH DECEMBER 1974  BY LEON Mc GRATH LEYLAND.  BURLEIGH HEADS
AND is complete with the original plastic jaguar wallet and ALL the service books. wiring diagrams. service sheets. 8 track warranty booklet . etc a rare find  42 years on !!!
This series 2 JAGUAR XJ 12 L is very rare. as it is complete and unmolested I have owned this car for a few years now and have a passion for the very LAST of the METAL JAGUARS  And to find one like this is a rare find. I also like many others will regret selling this as i have done many times in the past  with classics but i have no where to store this and it is just not fair to the car
The last time i drove this car was over 2 years ago and it has just sat since this time. and is deteriorating so it needs a good home 
the engine was very sweet the auto changed well and there were no axle or other nasty noises 
but with time the  rubbish fuel  {i always use BP ultimate with a stabalizer}i am having to clean and rekit all 4 carbys   and get rid of the stale fuel. then hopefully it will then run as well as it did
I AM SELLING THIS AS A RESTORER AS IT WILL BE SOLD UN REG  AND AS IS
IT WILL STAND ANY INSPECTION AND YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME CHECK IT OUT FIRST
This i assume will be used as a club weekender.  or the basis of a very simple restorer
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON"T  UNDERSTAND THESE WORKS OF ART.  THE JAGUAR XJ 12 L  IS TIPPED BY THE "JAG BOYS"   AS BEING THE NEXT  FASTEST APPRECIATING  JAGUAR  AND THE BEST INVESTMENT 
Out of the few sold in oz  most ended up with those ugly yank excuses for an engine thrown in making them  just plain rubbish 
This car drives like a smooth turbine with unbelievable power delivery and there would not be many cars of the time that could compete with refinement of a Jaguar traditionally these old 12 cylinder cars would have lacked service and with the high fuel consumption they would be a great donor for an engine transplant.  hence  have become very rare in this condition
 so the next question is whats wrong with it 
although it looks fantastic in the pixs it could use a repaint
there is very little rust in the body  
the leather in the rear seat back. the dash crash pad. inyl door tops and the veneer on the glove box lid have all been effected by the sun and need attention
mechanically  {and these MAY get done before sale}   the power steering pipe on the rack leaks fluid 1 center muffler has a hole {where it backfired last time i used it } i have a pair of stainless mufflers to match the axle pipes and rear stainless box's
 the brakes need freeing off where its been standing
the air con is on the old gas and needs servicing

carby kits need fitting  and fuel system cleaning  

overall this is as stated a very rare classic  and credit to its previous owners  
The icing on the cake the wireless and 8 track fitted from new WORK!!! the tape is a terrible country  job that will drive you mad in no time at all !!
  RECORDED MILEAGE IS 58920 KLMS  TRUTHFULLY I DON"T KNOW BUT BY CONDITION IM GUESSING 158920   VERY LOW FOR 42 YEARS
