 Features: Jaguar XJ-S
Jaguar was now part of the nationalised British Leyland Motor Corporation, and as Leyland management struggled to come to terms with the very real problems being faced by other companies in the group, Jaguar was allowed to slide.
In 1981 Jaguar redeveloped the V12 engine using a new cylinder head design, incorporating the ‘Fireball’ combustion chamber design invented by Swiss engineer Michael May. The valves were now recessed into the head, with a circular pocket under the exhaust valve and a channel between the valves.
By now Jaguar had been removed from the Leyland mess and privatised, and then in 1990 Ford had won a bidding war with GM to take control.
