This 1985 Jaguar XJ-S V12 was first registered in Texas, where it remained until being brought to Canada in 2006 under previous ownership. Refinished in metallic brown over beige leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. It rides on 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels and is further equipped with power-adjustable front seats, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and power windows. Acquired by the seller’s brother in 2025, this XJ-S V12 is now offered at no reserve in Canada by the seller with manufacturer’s literature, a repair manual, a parts catalogue, partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and Ontario registration in the current owner’s name.

The car is finished in metallic brown and was repainted by St. Germain Auto Body of Ontario, Canada, under previous ownership. Details include quad headlights, chrome mirror caps, window tint film, a power antenna, and dual exhaust outlets.

The 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with 215/70 Goodyear Allegra tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs.

The power-adjustable front bucket seats and a bolstered rear bench are trimmed in beige leather, and burl wood veneer accents the dashboard and door panels. Amenities include a cassette stereo, cruise control, and power windows. The seller notes that the air conditioning system does not blow cold.

The two-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 16k miles, approximately 300 of which have been added under current ownership. The Carfax report shows mileage inconsistencies in May 2012 and July 2013, although it notes that the former may be the result of a clerical error.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
