OK I'll bite ;-)
It was the Panther Westwinds company which made these replicas, called the
"J72". They were 3.8 litre - 5.3 litres in size (engines made _for_ them by
Jaguar themselves, and mirroring the current Jaguar range - 3.8, 4.2 straight
sixes, and the 5.3 V12). I _think_ but am not at all certain that they were
produced from 1972 onwards (hence the "72" in "J72"). Looking at my database, I
see that they were in fact introduced in 1972.
