1976 Excellent XJCoupe with Good Provenance For Sale
Squadron Blue Coachwork with Navy Blue Leather and a Black Everflex roof all set off with a beautiful set of period Kent Alloys.
She has a very detailed and full comprehensive service history including the majority of her MOT's and Tax Discs , Her Original Handbook and Service Book a set of Original Spare Keys and her Original RAC and AA Telephone Box Keys are also in the File .
First Registered in 17/ 9/ 1976 she was aquired by her long term owner Major Hugh Skillen on 28/ 8/ 1977 from Daimler and Rolls Royce Specialists Rayns Bros Cars Leicester Ltd ( Purchase Invoice for £7, 750. 00 In her file)
Major Skillen played an important part in the Enigma Machine code breaking team during the 2nd World War . The Vehicles history files include The Major's Times Obituary , and othe interesting information detailing his work on Enigma at Bletchley Park and his subsequent teaching career at Harrow.
The Major kept the car up until his death in 2004 whereupon it passed to his son Duncan
Looking at the continued receipt flow Duncan Skillen clearly looked after the car as well only selling it on through Miles Classics to John and Nicola Curry some 9 years later.
In June 2017 it was purchased from the Curry's by well known Historic Jaguar Saloon Racer David Howard and it currently forms part of his Private Jaguar collection . Maintenance now is carried out by David or experienced and regarded historic Jaguar engineers
Despite the fact that the car has covered little more than 500 miles per annum over the last 32 years it has been well maintained , and ( though not a legal requirement) is still kept MOT'd . The current MOT expiring in June 2021.
You may know that the XJCoupe is actually a very rare car. The Total Production run of these Jaguar/ Daimer Coupe's amounting to only 10, 426 vehicles only 1, 677 of them being Daimler 4. 2 Coupes.
As a result of her maintenance she has also proved to be reliable. Her last Pre Covid run was the Lyon Classic Car tour of Northern France , she covered over 500miles and didn't miss a beat.
Maintenance wise recently she has had a new fuel pump and rear brake pads .
The Bodywork is of course now 44 years old , but having the benefit of Ziebarting from new she is in well above average condition , no parking dents and pretty much rust free other than a little bubbling on the top edge of the passenger door . The Interior woodwork and Leather are all good .. There is just slight wear to the outer piping on the drivers seat and a very small crack in the Mahogany on the glove box cover.
In summary , this is a very usable and rare classic and attractive Daimler Coupe with a comprehensive history file and an interesting history
