restauration Jaguar XJC 12
 
Hello to all!

Last spring I bought a Jag XJC 12 and a Daimler double six coupe! We started restoring the XJC.

This is the result so far! :icon_cool:

What you have is one of the all time great Jag designs, but you allready know that. I had an XJ6C back in the day. Wish I still had it. Your car is a milestone classic held back only by the strange V12 engine that was very complex, low on power and tuned for the " God knows what" market.

No matter! It's a great car and I urge you to keep us up to date on the restoration with as many pictures and details as you can spare. Are you combining the 2 cars into 1 or are you building 2 complete cars?

Have you made any decisions yet re the wheel and tire combinations?

Buy the way, I took the vinal roof off my car, on advice of one and all, and concluded the car looked best with the original vinal. From the looks of your pictures you are not in North America. Too bad. I would be tempted to come over and give you a hand and lots of free advice. :icon_teeth:

Some horrendous rust there !! (the usual XJC locations).

When you get the rear window motors to work, admire the cute way the window wiggles as it goes down to clear the wheel arch.

Beautiful colour. I look forward to seeing the progress especially the interior choices - new seat covers, colour, carpets, woodwork etc? Good luck.

I really like the look of the coupes, something about a two door car vs a 4 door with the same body lines.

i prefer the V12 over the old 6, somethin special about 12 cylinders, when engine conversations come up!!

performance or bad MPG,complexity, just dont matter, ITS A V12 engine,its got CLASS.

where is his car from?? it dont have cats, or air injection system, what year is it?

Jaguar&DaimlerXJC12 09-04-2010 03:47 PM

We are from Belgium, and indeed, the other cars aren't USA sales ;-)

The silver one is a BMW 1 series
The black one is a Alfa Romeo GT
