GALLERY: Go Behind The Scenes On Our Jaguar XJ12 Film Shoot

An endling is the last known individual of a species or subspecies. Once the endling dies, the species becomes extinct. And while the Jaguar brand lives on, some might say that the 1994 Jaguar XJ12 was one of the last of a certain kind of Jaguar. It is that lovely V12 that drew Peter Muurman to select this very model. While many enthusiasts will associate a twelve-cylinder with a particular Italian brand, there was a time when no country estate, or a country club, was complete without an automobile such as this prowling the grounds.

This is not a machine built for raw speed, as Peter finds that with his two-wheeled racers, it has been selected for its refinement and luxury, and of course its twelve cylinders. It could be said that with this particular Jaguar, elegance has been turned up to twelve.
