Vehicle description

Model history:

In 1973, the second series of the Jaguar XJ was presented at the IAA in Frankfurt and then went into production in 1975. The XJ was available as both a sedan and a coupe. There were several engine options to choose from, including 2.8-liter and 4.2-liter gasoline engines with outputs ranging from 142 to 172 horsepower, as well as a 5.4-liter V12 gasoline engine with 287 horsepower. A particular challenge, as well as a stylish innovation, was the frameless side windows that enhanced the car's appearance.
