Ace Model Cars; Broadspeed Jaguar XJ12C; John Steed |
Year of Release: N/K The XJ12-C was a tweaked, sportier version of the pillarless two-door XJ Coupé, powered by Jaguar's legendary 5.3-litre V12. It was the absolute epitome of the rakish, somewhat louche British car culture of the mid-1970s, the perfect wheels for the elegantly bowler-hatted Steed, purring Purdey and the gritty Gambit. Finished in Racing Green, this was only the eighth XJ12-C made. It started life as a one-off experiment with a Broadspeed body kit and special extra-wide cast-alloy rims, fitted specially for its role in the TV series.
