Arden AJ1 / XJ V12 Double Six

In 1982 Jochen Arden introduced his first fully converted vehicle, the Arden AJ1, based on the Jaguar XJ V12. The AJ1 was not only changed outwardly, but also performance-optimized. The modifications included wheel / tire combination and chassis changes with new springs and dampers. A new high-performance exhaust system improved its performance compared with the series by approximately 16 hp. The sporty body conversion kit consists of new front / and side skirts. In the mid-eighties Arden offered a number of special V12 engines for the XJ. At the top was the 6.6 l engine version with a power of 455 hp. A new 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed ZF automatic replaced the antiquated GM 3-speed automatic transmission. The interior of the Jaguar / Daimler was completely revised and the customer had the choice between Recaro C or CSE seats, high-quality wood trim, leather roof, picnic tables, a refrigerator and other comfortable interior fittings.

The Arden AJ1 that we are offering here comes out of second hand possession. It is in a very well kept condition. In the issue 4 / 2010 of the magazine "classic cars" there was a detailed report on this AJ1.
