Jaguar 4,2
Production year: 1975 Gearbox: Auto Body colour: Dark blue Trim Owner: Bought: 2007 Previous owner: Previous owner: Previous owner: History: Ever since I saw the XJC for the first time many years ago, this Jag model has been my favourite car. 15 years ago I found a Jaguar XJ6C that became my every-day-car for 4 years. But actually the XJC convertible is my dream car no. 1 and at last I realised my dream in 2007 - I found a XJC convertible in Bruxelles that spend the last 15 year as a wedding car for hire.
Daimler Double Six 12 cyl
Production year: 1976 Gearbox: 3 speed Borg Warner automatic Body colour: Signal Red Owner: David Jobson-Scott History: There is very little history at present with the car. The first Company Director owner kept her for six years and she was then sold on to the Works Manager. Very unusually for a Daimler V12, air conditioning was deleted from the specification by the first owner. The third owner purchased her in May 1994. The earliest surviving MOT certificate dates from 1995, when the
mileage was recorded as 49,366. By 2002 it had risen to 49,949 and
by March 2007 is was 50,672! A multitude of problems cropped up over
the months of July and August 2007 as the car was gradually reactivated.
The fuel injectors have been a particular problem. The car has had
extensive work (body and mechanics) carried out since then and now
drives very well. Most of the chrome has been replaced with new. Recorded
mileage is just over 52,000 (2008).
Daimler 5.3l – 12 cyl
Production year: 1977 Gearbox: auto Body colour: dark blue Owner: Joachim Hegny Previous owners: Christopher Mann (Bodyshop Magazine) Previous owners: David W. Diehl Previous owners: Devitt Aviation Ltd. History: Following the purchase of the car by the Bodyshop Magazine the car was subject of a complete restoration, which was featured in the Bodyshop Magazine from October 1993. After the restoration the car appeared on the Bodyshop stand at automotive shows to demonstrate their products I purchased the car in August 2005 and drove it from London to Wiesbaden
in Germany. At the end of 2005 we decided to give it another full
restoration which is still ongoing. Hopefully the car is back on the
road next year (2009).

Jaguar 4,2
Production year: 1976 Gearbox: 3 Speed Auto Body colour: White Owner: Philip J. Prior www.myjaguarstory.com Bought: October 2010 Previous owner: Previous owner: Previous owner: Previous owner: Previous owner: History: Once I decided I wanted an XJC the search began in earnest. I found there were approximately 10 for sale in Australia (mid 2010) in different configurations. I have to admit this surprised me given the relatively small number originally delivered in Australia. (139 in 4.2 6Cyl) There were V12s, 4.2ltr straight sixes, ( a 4.2 ltr was always my preference) there were ones with and ones without the original vinyl roofs, some with leather and some with rather awful velour trim and in a range of conditions from rust buckets to some very nice cars. Prices on the cars ranged in price from $5,500 (E-Bay) to $38,000. I came within a Jaguar's whisker of purchasing the one priced at $38,000 having negotiated a final purchase price of $32,500. However family issues intervened and I cooled off on that deal. It was a very nice car but in hindsight probably really worth around $25,000 in my opinion. For a brief period I seriously considered the purchase of a XJS convertible. But when this XJC convertible surfaced on the net there was little doubt this was the car for me and am delighted with my purchase. I think the fact that it compliments the X350 and the S Type so well was a real winner for me. Although I do not have a great deal of history on this car as yet, I do know it was Australian delivered to Russell Kinsela Pty Ltd in Narrabeen (Sydney N.S.W.) on the 18th of February 1977. It was sold by Bryson Industries Pty Ltd N.S.W. with original registration JK 248. At some stage in the 1990s it was owned by a limousine company in Sydney. In early 1998 the car was owned by Mr R Spata who commissioned the conversion to a convertible, the work being done in Sydney by a well known company called "Chop Top". A full engineering certification was carried out at the time; a copy is now in my possession. The car was purchased by another limousine company in N.S.W. owned by Mike Horsley. Mike I believe had two of these cars and found he did not have the business to justify the two and sold the car to yet another limousine company "Surrey Limos" in Melbourne from whom I purchased the car in October 2010. Some will have noted that the car has had some cosmetic up-dates. The bumpers, door handles, boot lid, tail lights, mirrors, bonnet and grill are Series 3, whilst the wire wheels are Holden 14 inch bolt-on (some will remember these from the 1970's offered as an option on Holden Statesman) and the chrome wheel arches are a common extra. All of which I believe enhance the cars appearance and are very tasteful. |
