Description
The Jaguar XJC (often written XJ-C) is the two-door coupé version of the XJ “Series II” saloon, designed to offer the same refined luxury but with a lower, more taut, and more exclusive profile. The project existed on paper as early as the late 1960s, but Jaguar unveiled it to the public later, notably at the London Motor Show in October 1973… before having to wait a long time to actually put it into production.
This delay stemmed primarily from a very concrete issue: the XJC adopted a pillarless hardtop body with frameless windows, resulting in a very grand touring silhouette, but making the weatherproofing and proper fit of the windows significantly more difficult to guarantee. Added to this was a complex industrial and economic climate in the mid-1970s (the British Leyland era and the repercussions of the oil crisis), which did little to accelerate the launch.
When it finally arrived in dealerships, the XJC adopted the short-wheelbase platform of the XJ Series II: long doors, a stretched roofline, and that very "English club" look that immediately distinguished it from a four-door XJ. The philosophy was less that of a pure sports coupe than that of a prestige coupe, designed to devour miles quickly and calmly, with an interior presentation and comfort that were typically Jaguar.
This example was sold new in Europe in December 1977. The certificate of conformity is still present.
For a 1977 XJC with the 4.2L engine, you get the famous Jaguar XK 4 235cc inline six-cylinder engine with double overhead camshafts, which constitutes something of a "historical heart" for the brand during this period. The XJC could be ordered with this 4.2L or with the 5.3L V12, but the 4.2L is often considered the best balance between smoothness, running costs, and "old-school" mechanical character.
The year 1977 is particularly important because it marks the end of the production run: XJ coupé production ceased in November 1977 (with a few final registrations depending on the market), which explains their rarity today. Based on generally cited production figures, the XJC 4.2 totaled approximately 6,487 units over the entire period, including 1,776 in 1977, making it a sought-after "end-of-series" model.
It has 125,500 km on the clock and is in excellent condition, both aesthetically and mechanically. There is no corrosion, and the interior is still in superb original condition. It is also equipped with a 123 electronic ignition and underwent a full service in 2026.
