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 TWR Racing #12 reproduces the Tom Walkinshaw Racing entry driven by Hans Heyer and Win Percy to victory at Spa in the 1984 European Touring Car Championship. Doors open. This is a used example, box showing traces of storage. A real race-winning livery, not a generic tribute.
TWR's XJ-S program proved that a heavy, luxury-focused grand tourer could still win outright against purpose-built touring cars, and the Spa result this livery commemorates was one of that program's defining victories.
AUTOart's Livery Detail on the TWR XJ-S
The racing livery is applied with clean, sharp registration around the door and hood graphics, the kind of tampo work that separates a serious motorsport replica from an approximate one, and the number 12 and sponsor markings read crisply rather than blurred. Doors open to show a stripped-back, race-prepared cabin rather than a road car's furnishings, and the zinc alloy body carries real weight befitting a car built to survive endurance racing. This is a used example, and the box shows traces of storage while the model itself remains in good condition.
A Genuine ETCC Result in Miniature
Because this livery ties to a specific, documented race win, it carries more weight on a shelf than a generic racing paint scheme would. Set beside other 1980s touring cars, it tells a concrete story about TWR's Jaguar program rather than a generalized motorsport aesthetic, and it rewards collectors who value provenance over decoration.
