Ron,
  According to http://www.car-nection.com/jagbase/   the first V-12 to be
introduced into a production car was the XKE in 1971.  Prior to that, the
engine of choice was primarily the 4.2 litre.  The V-12, however was first
manufactured in 1954.  Here is an article about the V-12 as published by Jag
World  http://www.jagweb.com/jagworld/v12-engine/

In 30 years time will someone be asking when Jaguar started fitting those
little lawnmower engines they use these days - I think not !!!
