Wind Back Time
Jaguar XJC 1977
Specifications
Description
The XJC's, otherwise known as the XJ Coupes, are a rare two-door version of the standard four door saloons.
They were clearly meant to be the sporty XJ models and overall, the XJC's are quite well proportioned and have a masculine air to them.
The styling of the pillarless coupe gives a sense of "openness" that is often associated with a convertible. The shorter wheelbase also gives the car an incredible appearance of balance and aggressiveness. All coupes were equipped with a black vinyl roof as standard equipment. The car somehow feels quite smaller than the longer wheelbase four door cars, which is only four inches shorter, and its handling is quite different as well.
