XJ12 Vanden Plas. For details and information please contact Ken

Pedigree Motorcars is known for seeking out the finest affordable
classic cars. There are several cars that we have had our eye open
for but thought we would never find. This Jaguar is one of them.
The series III XJ Series was sold in the US until 1987 and was only
offered with a six cylinder engine. They were fabulous cars and the
six cylinder was wonderfully smooth. However, nothing compares to a
Jaguar V 12, nothing.
We were recently made aware of this beautiful Canadian spec 1987
XJ12 Vanden Plas. Originally sold in Quebec, it was sold in 2011
through a US Dealer to its second owner in Florida. In 2016 it went
to his third owner in Indiana.
This XJ12 has been lovingly taken care if throughout its life. It's
in amazing condition and is highly original. The interior is
magnificent with no cracking in the wood and the leather seats are
still soft and show little wear.
The exterior is equally impressive. The Black paint gleams, as does
all of the brightwork. As expected, there is no rust to be found.
This is one of the most impressive series III XJ's we have ever
found. But it's most special because it's a XJ12. These were rare
cars in the countries they were sold new in. Very few made it into
the US. We were fortunate to have found this exceptionally rare
XJ12.
In the past five years only 2000 km have been put on this Jaguar.
As with all of our cars at Pedigree, a thorough inspection and
service was performed. Our Jaguars are only serviced by the Jaguar
Doctor in Boca Raton, Florida. To get this car ready for sale we
had performed
Refinish the original wheels - they are perfect!
Install four new Goodyear tires
Replace AC compressor, evacuate and recharge system
Replace throttle bushings
Replace both front shocks
Replace trans spool, spring and seat
Replace radio antenna
Replace extra air valve and gasket
Replace fuel pump
Change oil and filter
Replace wiper blades
Replace AC expansion valve
Replace flasher unit
Everything that was needed to make this Jaguar reliable and safe
was performed. This is one of the finest driving series III Jaguars
we have ever driven. If you have never experienced a V 12 in one of
these iconic sedans, it's something you should sample. This V 12 is
the finest driving series III we have ever driven. It is
unbelievably smooth, quiet and powerful. The torque from the V 12
is immediate and impressive. This truly is an impressive driving
Jaguar.
Since this Jaguar is Canadian spec, it's still retains its
speedometer and odometer in kilometers. Please note, this car has
129,000 KM, not miles. It also has windshield wipers on the
headlights. It also has an engine block heater, something we have
not tried out here in Florida.
At Pedigree Motorcars we show cars by appointment only. To arrange
a private showing of this beautiful Jaguar XJ12, contact Ken Baker
at 561-866-1601.
