Jaguar XJ12 Series 1 1973
Specifications
Description
Built without compromise to perform without equal, The XJ12 version was announced in July 1972, featuring different badging to the XJ6, which along with simplified grille treatment distinguished the new 5.3 litre V-12 engined car from the XJ6.
The XJ12 has ventilated front disc brakes and a limited slip differential to cope with its 140 mph performance.
The car, as presented at that time, was the world's only mass-produced 12-cylinder four-door car, and was marketed as being the fastest full four-seater available in the world.
3,235 of these first generation XJ12s were built from July 1972 to August 1973.
