XJC models have become a bit of a
collectors item over recent times. Auctions online such as eBay have
proved very popular with enthusiasts, who snap up the models for their
collections. It seems a week does not go by without an XJC model
becoming available on eBay. The most frequent items on there are the
Corgi Coastguard and Police car series, as well as the Corgi XJ12C
models. In the last couple of years, one of the fastest growing
collector markets has been in Asia, with the new 'micro' models being
extremely popular. So far, Jaguar or Daimler models have not
appeared in this series.

This very rare 1:64 scale model is made in Hong

collection. The purchase price on eBay was US$4.99 as of 15

Guisval
XJC
This model was listed under our 'Unknown models' but Salvador Lopez from
Spain has written with the identity of the model.
Salvador informs that these were made in
Spain in the late '70's and are approx
1/64 scale.
He has two of these, maybe a bit older with
no decals and finished in silver metallic.
Many thanks, Salvador.
