"A V12? Are you kidding me?! I have got to get one!"

Errm, Jaguar (that's 'Jag-yoo-arr', not 'Jag-warr', by the way) first sold V12s in 1972. Available in the E-type (you called it the XK-E for some odd reason) and the XJ-12. And in the Daimler Double Six - don't know if that made it across the pond? Somehow I doubt it - too much class.

Also, Mercedes-Benz have had a V12 engine option in the SL and other cars for quite a few years.

And, of course, around 40 years ago, BRM were firing up their H16!!

V8? Some sort of vegetable juice, isn't it?
