1975 Jaguar XJ12C V12 Coupe

The XJ sedan was introduced in 1969 paralleling the XKE with a larger, more comfortable four-door body while retaining the E-Type's proven drive train and independent rear suspension. A few years later in 1974 the Series III's V-12 engine with 241 horsepower was added to the XJ as well and brought the sedan, and a new two-door hardtop XJ coupe, to new levels of performance. Lovely to look at, comfortable to occupy and surprisingly quick on the road, the XJ12C opened new markets to Jaguar with a design that is even more attractive than the XJS coupe that followed a year later.
