The Ravages of Socialism: Jag XJC
By Gunnar Heinrich
FEWJaguar XJC’s still exist. The ones that do likely provide shelter for critters in grassy backyards – such is the 70s coupe’s rep. for quality. Yet, in the day CAR judged the Leyland cat ideal for forging thru the Iron Curtain. Lucky for them, the lights failed and the autobox seized somewhere between Austria and W. Germany. Ten pages eerily, if laughingly, tell what socialism does to a country and a car maker.
