1978 Jaguar XJ12 sedan in restored exterior with re-stained leather — a solid old-school luxury cruiser with a smooth V12 and fuel injection. This car had just four previous keepers over nearly fifty years and spent time as a wedding car before I bought it. It ran well but was showing its age, so I commissioned a bare-metal respray, had the chrome re-chromed, and had the leather re-stained. It’s not show-car perfect, but it looks nearly as good as it did leaving the showroom and rides like a proper luxury sedan. Under the hood is the original V12 with fuel injection — exceptionally smooth and relaxed on the highway. The suspension still delivers that old Jaguar ride people compared to Rolls-Royce in earlier reviews, so it’s ideal for formal events, wedding transport, or relaxed drives where comfort matters. You’ll notice original details throughout; it’s a car meant to be driven, not babied. If you’d like to book it for an event or a longer weekend, send a request and we’ll discuss pickup times and any arrangements for chauffeurs or extra stops. Small note: no smoking in the cabin, please.
