Description
1978 Jaguar XJ5. 3C auto – as original or to personal taste
Originally a matching numbers Squadron Blue V12 XJC auto with biscuit interior, this coupe is now available as a better than brand new bodyshell on which to build a car of your choice.
All original parts are available and this mighty V12 can be restored to its former glory and in some areas better even than when it left Browns Lane in 1978…
…or, you could take the opportunity to realise the potential of the fabulously restored bodyshell and panels to create a Coupe featuring the upgrades, looks, driving characteristics and interior to create a unique and personally satisfying classic of your own.
Some ideas might be to fit AJ6/ 16 fuel injected power, 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual gearbox, platform 3 way adjustable suspension, lowered road springs, upgraded steering, outboard upgraded brakes, bespoke interior – the combinations are huge.
If you prefer a project of your own, but would like to start with the most important element of any Coupe build – a perfect bodyshell – then we can supply this to you built up and gapped for your approval in primer or painted in any colour of your choice. We can have it rolling on as new axles, steering and even braking and with fuel tanks and lines complete. Tell us how you would like to receive it and we can supply.
