Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE For the Jaguar enthusiast, this is #16 of the last 100 Series III Jaguars. Jaguar changed models in the US market in 1987 but continued producing the Series III for the Canadian market until 1992. These last 100 produced truly represent the pinnacle of the Series III model. All of the last 100 were speced with unique options and all had the V12 engine (also referred to as the Daimler Double Six) and the Vanden Plas designation. The chance to own one of these cars is rare, especially one already imported into the U.S. This is truly one of the most beautiful Series III Jaguars available on ebay or anywhere else. Number 16 has Black Cherry paint in beautiful condition. This car turns heads everywhere I go. There are some minor flaws and scratches, but they are almost impossible to see in any photo because the paint reflects like glass. She also has doeskin leather interior contrasting with buckskin piping. These cars were essentially hand made with the best leather hides and wood. #16 has a gorgeous dark burled walnut dash and the door filets are burled walnut inlaid with Peruvian Boxwood. The interior looks brand new other than some minor wear on the driver seat, and the shifter council has some cracks and a chip in the wood. Once you see the interior leather with the dark piping you will think every other Jaguar looks plain.The XJ12 starts every time and drives like a dream. The transmission shifts smoothly and you feel you have unlimited power with the V12. A recent tune up has #16 running incredibly well. The car has a working sunroof that I use most everyday and all the electronics and windows work. It also has the boot mounted CD player, sport steering wheel, Bosch ABS brakes, headlight wipers and daytime running lights (unique to this vehicle.) I replaced the contentious automatic aerial with a standard manual aerial, but kept the old motor in place if you want to get aggravated by it. This car was owned by a wealthy family in Canada for most of it’s life and was well cared for. I have records showing all of the work performed at the Toronto Jaguar dealership. It was then bought by a collector in Toronto, who then sold it to me to make room for an XK120 restoration. I legally imported it into the US and licensed it in Virginia about 2 years ago. I have used it 2-3x a week when the weather is nice. The Series III is arguably one of the most beautiful vehicles ever designed. If you are going to get one, why not get one of the last 100 Jaguar made to be the best of the best? The car is of course available for inspection and I would be happy to answer any questions.
