In late 1979, the Jaguar XJ was facelifted, and re-named as the XJ Series III. Using the long-wheelbase version of the car, the XJ incorporated a subtle redesign by Pininfarina. Externally, the most obvious changes over the SII were the thicker and more incorporated rubber bumpers with decorative chrome only on the top edge, flush door handles for increased safety, a one-piece front door glass without a separate 1/4 light, a grille with only vertical vanes, reverse lights moved from the boot plinth to the larger rear light clusters and a revised roofline with narrower door frames and increased glass area. There were three engine variants, including the 5.3 lt V12, the 4.2 lt straight-six and 3.4 L straight-six. The larger six-cylinder, and V12 models incorporated Bosch fuel injection which was made under licence by Lucas. 132,952 Series III cars were built, 10,500 with the V12 engine.
The one lady owner from new, V12 example offered here is described by the vendor as a good condition car with only 37,400 miles on the clock. The MOT history of the car warrants the miles, which are low mainly due to spending much of its life in the Channel Islands and the lady owner also living abroad for some years. The car has also been garaged all its life. There are a couple of rust areas, one below the o/s front headlamp and a small blister on the nearside windscreen pillar at the bottom corner. The paintwork and interior are described as superb as are the mechanics, with the car running very well. This is a rare chance to own a low mileage jaguar that should only go up in value.
