XJ12C by Broadspeed
The racing XJ Coupes were built and raced in 1976 and 1977, just two seasons in which they at times showed their fantastic potential, but sadly never realized it by winning any event. Some say that they were not given sufficient time to prove themselves. The cars, prepared to the FIA Group regulations applicable to European Touring Car Championship, were fifted with 5416 cc fuel-injected V-12 engines developing more than 530 hp. Initially they used a wet-sump lubrication but later changed to a dry-sump system. Rather controversially, the cars were built and prepared by Broadspeed, independent of the factory. For a while the Coupes provided a great spectacle , making what would otherwise have been a dull championship more exciting. It is said that they could not have earned just a little glory. Derek Bell, one of the regular team drivers, said, 'I enjoyed the cars, and they could have been very good, if they had been persereved with a little longer.'

Hi, searching some pics about this Jaguar Broadspeed XJC12 I've found this site.
I'm modeling this car for a mod of fFactor game called "Spirit Of '76", here you can find more info about this mod. Being this car so exclusive and difficult to find, I felt obligated to let you know this. Here are some pics of its development, if you find any pic more (specially the interior) or specs, info, links and so on, will be cool as a reference for a more accurate model. |

Re: XJ12C by Broadspeed
The Xj Coupe is one of my favorite cars. Classy and understated. I've had a couple XJ sedans over the years, but fully intend to own a coupe someday.
