The Jaguar XJ
was presented in the year 1968 as Jaguar XJ 6 (series 1), the XJ V12 was
introduced in the year 1972.
The Jaguar XJ is still being manufactured; a true evergreen... nowadays
series 5 is actual.
The Jaguar XJ combines the qualities of a sports car and a limousine in
one car. The XJ has excellent road holding capabilities, is very fast and
powerful, is very comfortable and last but not least very silent. All
these characteristics are united in the most timeless and delightful sporty limousine design Jaguar has ever drawn.
The Jaguar XJ was also manufactured as Daimler Sovereign. The Daimler
was meant to be less sporty and more a luxury limousine for buyers who
appreciated sheer comfort.
Series 1 was
built between 1968 and 1972, series 2 between 1973 and 1979. Series 3 is
still a youngtimer and was built between 1979 and 1991.
The Jaguar XJ series 3 was redesigned on details; the roofline was
lifted (more headroom for the rear passengers), slightly remodeled rear-wings, integrated door-handles, new bumpers with plastic trimming
and integrated lamps, new rear-light clusters and several interior
changes.
