Jaguar XJ saloons made an enormous impact on the motoring world of the late 1960s and 1970s. Stylish and fast, with excellent handling, their level of refinement was years ahead of other manufacturers' achievements. Engine options were initially a 2.8 litre or the familiar 4.2 litre XK unit, both available with manual or automatic transmission. 1972 saw the launch of the XJ12, which was basically the same car but for a magnificent V12 engine of 5.3 litres, further raising standards of performance and refinement. In 1975 Jaguar re-launched an "economy" version of the XJ (2.8 litre cars discontinued 1972) but this time as a 3.4 litre car. Also that year came the two-door coupes based on the short-wheelbase floorpan and available in 4.2 litre or V12 form.
