About the Jaguar XJ-S TWR Racing #12 H. Heyer / W. Percy ETCC Spa Winner 1984 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Jaguar XJ-S #12 reproduces the TWR Racing entry driven by H. Heyer and W. Percy to victory at Spa in the 1984 European Touring Car Championship, with opening doors and bonnet. Used model, box showing storage marks, casting unaffected. A race-winning livery for a touring car shelf.

Tom Walkinshaw Racing turned the big Jaguar coupe into a genuine touring car contender, and this #12 livery marks one of its Spa victories rather than a generic race-car repaint.

AUTOart's Livery Detailing and This Copy's Condition

The diecast body's zinc alloy construction supports the sponsor decals and race number crisply across the XJ-S's broad panels, and AUTOart's tooling keeps the flared arches and roll cage detailing consistent with TWR's competition build. Doors and bonnet open to show the race-prepared engine bay and stripped interior fitted for endurance touring car competition, a marked contrast against the road-going XJ-S's luxury cabin. This is a used model, and its outer box shows traces of storage rather than showroom-fresh presentation, though the casting itself carries no such marks. Race liveries reward close inspection more than road cars do, so buyers should expect the sponsor graphics and numbering to remain the main draw regardless of the used designation.

The XJ-S's Place in Touring Car History

TWR's Jaguar XJ-S programme proved a heavy luxury coupe could compete against smaller, more agile touring cars in the European Touring Car Championship, and results like this Spa win in 1984 built the reputation that would carry Jaguar into sports car racing later in the decade. Alongside other 1980s ETCC liveries, this model documents a period when saloon and coupe racing carried genuine prestige, giving a British motorsport collection real competitive substance.
