Some History of the Jaguar XJ Coupe
An 8,378-car run of 2-door XJ coupés with a pillarless hardtop body called
the XJ-C was built between 1975 and 1978, however the car was actually launched
at the 1973 London Motor Show but production was delayed by economic troubles.
The coupé was based on the short wheelbase version of the XJ. The coupé's elongated doors were made out of a lengthened standard XJ front door (the weld seams are clearly visible under the interior panels where two front door shells were grafted together with a single outer skin). A few XJ-Cs were modified by Avon into convertibles with a retractable canvas top, but this was not a factory product. Both six and twelve-cylinder models were offered, 6,505 of the former and 1,873 of the latter produced, with all models coming as standard with a vinyl roof.
