This 1986 Jaguar XJ-S V12 remained registered in California until 1998 and has since been registered in Washington and Idaho. Powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, the car is finished in Sebring Red over Biscuit leather upholstery. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels, a cassette stereo, a CD changer, air conditioning, and cruise control. Since 2018, the steering rack, water pump, spark plugs, and fan clutch have been replaced. Acquired in 2026 by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, this XJ-S V12 is offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Idaho title.

The car is finished in Sebring Red (CDJ) and is equipped with quad headlights, front fog lights, chrome mirror caps, a multi-tone horn, a power antenna, and dual exhaust outlets. Paint touch-ups, dings, and chips are noted around the body. Close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.

The 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Armstrong tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs. The steering rack was replaced in 2021.

The seats are upholstered in Biscuit leather (ADE), and burl wood veneer accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Interior amenities include cruise control, air conditioning, and a cassette stereo linked to a Jensen CD changer. The headliner is sagging and has been secured with pins.

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 84k miles.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The spark plugs were replaced in 2018, the fan clutch and water pump were replaced in 2019, and the seller notes an oil leak.

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

Service records and literature are included in the sale.
