This is one bute of a JAG. An XJ12 or 6 Coupe. Could be 1975, '76, '77 were the only years these were made. I had a 1976, Sable/blk hides, with aftermarket electric sunroof.
She flew at an honest 150 mph at 6750 redline rpm. Everything was fine! Rt 5 between Chicago and DeKalb, Illinois. I even let go of the wheel for a bit. Smooth as glass, very quiet.
Every one of these two doors had a covered roof 'cause the roof die left a wrinkle in the pressed sheet metal. It was much cheaper to cover-up the 'opps' then to re-configure' the die for such a short press run. About 3000 of these were made so they could be raced. [needed 750 to be raced proper]. Big comfort and Joy.
