The V-12 was a heat pump with legendary British wiring.
Self induced spontaneous combustion.
For all it's smooth torque the 12 was heavy and iduced a terrible understeer. Plus no manul option.
I always lliked the six. Far more nimble. And much easier to work on.
Early 80's my business partner had a slew of them. Always under restoration. I got to work on them and drive them. The sixes were the best.
He and his son still do it. E-types and and XJS; exclusively Jags.
