The XJ was introduced in 1968 as Jaguar sought to consolidate its contemporary saloon portfolio. From 1970, the XJ became the marques flagship four-door car and the earliest version of the saloon later known as the Series I would be the final Big Cat design overseen by company founder, Sir William Lyons. The Series 2 launched in 1973, from which the XJ Coup was born. The svelte, two-door interpretation of the XJ was based on the models short wheelbase platform and featured a pillarless hardtop body topped by a black vinyl roof. The stylish sports car could be equipped with either a 4.2-litre inline-six or a thundering 5.3-litre V-12.

The left-hand-drive example offered here was built for the Swiss market and left Jaguars Coventry factory on 14 March 1977.
