Daimler Xj features and equipment

Features shown below are tied to the available source material for this model. Equipment can vary by year, trim and market.

Standard or documented features

✓A 9,378 car production run of two-door XJ coupés with a pillarless hardtop body called the XJ-C was built between 1975 and November 1977, in addition to about 2,000 Daimler-badged examples

✓This lifted the front indicators from under the bumper and provided built in rear fog lights

✓The XJC was also raced, although the results were less than satisfying – memories of the failed effort made British Leyland decline to provide factory backing for the TWR-prepared XJS five years later

✓With Derek Bell at the wheel, it briefly led its debut race, the RAC Tourist Trophy at Silverstone in September 1976, but failed to finish

✓This became the modus operandi for the XJC racing effort: Overweight and unreliable, the best result was a second place at Nürburgring in 1977 and British Leyland cancelled the program before completing the season
