Current bid $7,200 reserve not met, 8 bids, 8 days left in auction. 64k miles.

Sellers description:
Low mileage, two owner 1972 Jaguar XKE V12 Coupe with Air Conditioning. It is in outstanding original (even has original radio) and appropriately restored condition. Of all the coupe years to own, the 1972 V12’s are arguably the best and currently one of the most sought after. You get all of the refined performance of the V12 without having the obtrusive bumper overriders like on later years.

This is a complete and comprehensive multi-year ground-up restoration finished a few years ago. It remains in extremely nice and fully operational condition today with only a few thousand miles since restoration.

This particular XKE is a beautiful and relatively rare Jaguar Light Blue over Black Leather Interior. This is probably one of the most desirable color combinations for the model and year . The car was painted at the time of the restoration in it’s original color. The paint remains in almost perfect and show quality condition.

Comes fitted with all of the desired factory options like chrome wire wheels and A/C. It has four like new size 215/70 R15 Dunlop SP 40 tires and a brand new one on the spare. Of course it includes the original jack/ crank and wire wheel knock-off wrench as well as all original documentation (owners manual, service book, parts catalogs, service and restoration documentation).

Mechanically this car is in like new condition, due in part to the relatively low miles as well as restoration and regular maintenance activities along the way. Runs and drives out extremely well with everything working as it should. The engine is very strong, holds perfect oil pressure and both looks and sounds great. For that matter the engine and underbody are as clean and neat as the interior of the car.

The complete interior (carpeting, leather seats, door panels, dash, door seals, trunk trim, etc.) are all in extremely nice condition with not a visible flaw to be found. Chrome and glass are all perfect with no scratches or chips to speak of. Included as well is a car cover (not shown in the photos) and a new set of Jaguar logo mats for additional protection.

Whether you are looking for one to show, a daily driver, or something to drive on special occasions, this is certainly the one for you.
