1977 Jaguar XJC (Coupe)


Specifications


Description

 

The XJC's, otherwise known as the XJ Coupes, are a rare two-door version of the standard four door saloons.

They were clearly meant to be the sporty XJ models and overall, the XJC's are quite well proportioned and have a masculine air to them.

The styling of the pillarless coupe gives a sense of "openness" that is often associated with a convertible. The shorter wheelbase also gives the car an incredible appearance of balance and aggressiveness. All coupes were equipped with a black vinyl roof as standard equipment. The car somehow feels quite smaller than the longer wheelbase four door cars, which is only four inches shorter, and its handling is quite different as well.

ABOUT THIS CAR

  • Chassis #: 2J2301BW
  • Rare – only 1776 examples were built in 1977. The production runs were made from 1975 through 1977 with some cars produced during 1977 registered as 1978 models. In all, XJC production numbers are very low by Jaguar standards and the XJC is considered to be Jaguar's rarest production model.
  • Nice straight body.
  • Car was professionally repainted in original colour (Opalescent Silver Grey) some years ago, so comes with very nice paintwork.
  • Mechanically sound – recent work include reconditioned radiator, reconditioned steering rack.
  • Very good tires.
  • Interior in very good condition for age.
  • Power assisted steering
  • Servo assisted disk brakes front and rear – ventilated front disks
  • Twin fuel tanks
  • Full four seat accommodation
  • Heated rear window
  • Leather Seats

I have found that most photographs don't do these cars justice and that they are actually more beautiful when you see them in person.

Desirable and highly sought after model, this rare classic is worth your attention.

Will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

TRANSPORT / SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.

The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.

The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
