This fascinating V12 launch brochure describes the creation and manufacture of Jaguar’s new engine.

A splendid innovation is a four-page set of transparent over-lays with each layer focusing on a major element of the engine. This is a quadri-lingual publication. Fine.
Grey rhd car posed beside river at night with dramatic light effect on the opposite side of the river. My favourite among this lot! VG.
Green car in the entrance hall of someone’s office block. Wrong turning somewhere? VG.

This is the magazine of the Jaguar Driver’s Club, which was edited by Paul Skilleter at the time. Paul scooped all the leading motoring magazines with his extended road test of the XJ12. Quite a coup for a club magazine! VG. Historic.
