*In
case of hearses and other special-bodied vehicles,
which left Jaguar and Vanden Plas in chassis
form and were only finished later by independent
coachbuilders, please note that some vehicles
with lower chassis numbers may in fact only
have been completed during 1973 and may therefore
not qualify for tax exemption.
Please note that the Series II models of the
Jaguar XJ6/XJ12, and Daimler Sovereign/Double-Six
are not tax-exempt as they only went into production
during 1973.
