Description
1971 V-12 – Full color 8″ x 10 3/4″ ad that announces the introduction of their Aluminum V-12 engine. Pictured parked on a grassy field is a Maroon Jaguar with the headline saying “Born: The 12-cylinder animal”. For those of you who wonder, “why a V-12” the text tries to explain why. It talks about the smoothness that more cylinders will provide, the large bore cylinders with a short stroke yet the horsepower that almost matches the engine displacement. It talks about other features such as the Ignition system, the Suspension and the brakes before startling us with the price.
