Now THIS is what a Jaguar should be. Gorgeous automobile! This one is perfect as a daily and l wouldn't be too afraid of getting a scratch or two. Need to tell myself that I'm NOT only three hours north of you in NE., Bob. lol
Hi Bob nice car, a real car!!!😃 The xj12 is quite a common car here in the UK. My Dad has had two I myself have only ever had the xj8'r. That particular model I think was slightly influienced by ford which meant it had decent electrics and not any Lucus crap which ruined so many jags before this one. They really are very well engineered cars and very mechically reliable and very powerful. And with this one it looks like you've acquired a really nice tidy example. Fair play to you Bob 👍
11:07 Throttle shaft bushings missing. Very common on these. Replace with oiled sintered bronze flange bushings. Also radiator mount bushings need replacement.
That's a really early one Bob for the X305 range. Mine was made end of September 94' and was one of the first 50 right hand drive XJ12's made. They only made 500 odd Short Wheel base models worldwide so I'd suspect a LHD XJ12 in the US is one of less than 200. Great car.I bet probably less than 50 roadworthy examples now. See you've sold it already. What was it up for?
Looks like a LWB. Less than 600 made under the Jaguar brand name.A bit more as a Daimler DD6. Amaing cars. I do have a Turquose 6cyl Supercharged (XJR) as a daily for almost five years by now. Btw. the issue with the clock is a known one in those. Cable for the dispaly goes bad. Replacement is available (At least from UK, dont know about US) and is fairly easy to replace. Done a few. Can send you further details if interested.
Bob - you didn't mention this is a long wheelbase model. The lwb XJ is 5149 mm / 202.7 in long versus the swb XJ at 5023 mm / 197.7 in measure. All that space is in the back seat.
In Europe, the model was called the Daimler (V12) Double-Six and there was a special D as the trademark. Jaguar was not allowed to use the Daimler name in the US. Daimler Sovereign, Wikipedia. Tell CarW
If you find a 97 salsa red with Opera II's, driver door pushed in from a guy who thought he was a drift king. That would be mine. I would kill to have it back.
Interesting point to note is that the British and European versions never had the leaping cat on the hood due to the risk of injuring pedestrians....real shame.
That is not true. Later versions had an ornament, that would move sideways, when hit. Jaguar made them till 2005, also in the UK, and stopped, because of new laws. images.honestjohn.co.uk/imagecache/file/crop/1200x800/images/owners-reviews/6865.jpg
@@euroasianbob9268 Thanks Bob, kind of you, so many people keep silly about pricing. That's just about what this guy is asking...think he's tired of all the little stuff coming up, they are a love/hate relationship. It's not a smart choice but...hmmmm... :)
That cat statue on the front would do to a pedestrian in an accident what a real jaguar would do to any unsuspecting Amazon jungle explorer: eviscerate them from chin to crotch. But it looks fantastic so who cares.
SOLD!
You found a 1995 Jaguar with working cup holders and a non sagging headliner. That alone is impressive.

I recently drove it to Lincoln!
I can’t get over that this is cheaper than a newer Mitsubishi Mirage. Beautiful car.
Looks like a fantastic driver quality Jag. Right colors and motor!

For the 94' to 97' model years, less than 50 in the UK now, and less than 10 are taxed. You might be thinking of the Series 3 XJ12.
I really love all the cars you showcase. Keep up with the good content
Just saw the video of @Car Wizard. Amazing car, glad he bought this green machine.

I like that 50’s Caddy in the garage we see in the background 😊
Hey Bob, this Shaguar is a rare treat to see!!! It's very nice!!! 👍👍🎃

My favourite model and colour combo as well.
I just saw the Car Wizard's video on this car. He loves it.

That cable can be had at a Jag dealer in Canada so chances are it's available at a US dealer.
It's a SWB version. One of the very early ones. No glovebox also which is typical of very early X305's.
@@judgementalTX ok. Was not sure. Hard to see on the video.
My XJR is a early one also, unfortunatelly with no glove box.
@@ingvargissurarson4671 . It's funny as mine was built late September 94 and has one but still has the seat pockets at the front.
@@judgementalTX might have been fitted later. I dont remember excactly when it changed. Probably late 95 early 96.
Mine is august 94.

The hood seems to be slightly different shade of green. Could just be the light.
Very rare here in England, I'm sure they sold no more than 100 here.

All 1995 North America Specification X305s are SHORT wheelbase, including this one; mine is too. All 1996 NAS X305s are LWB.
In Europe, the model was called the Daimler (V12) Double-Six and there was a special D as the trademark.

Watched you on car wizard, have you relocated building looks different.
Needs a full body detail, what about parts ?
what was the ballpark price on this beauty? I'm just trying to get a value on a very similar xj12 for sale and they're very hard to price!
We had it on website for $13995.

Kentucky
How much $
It was listed for $13k
That is a Vanden Plas
Nope, North America Specification X305 XJ12. Similar appointments, but not VDP.

Peppermint for rodents, spray around the engine bay.
