About the Jaguar XJS V12 Blue Metallic Limited Edition Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 Jaguar XJS V12 Limited Edition in Blue Metallic is a zinc alloy diecast with a fixed one-piece body, reproducing Jaguar's V12 grand tourer from the early 1980s. A distinctive companion finish to the more common green example.
Jaguar's XJS wore its unconventional flying buttress roofline through more than two decades of production, and this Limited Edition finish in Blue Metallic gives it a fresher visual identity than the usual British Racing Green association.
Fixed-Body Construction and Finish
The body is sealed as one piece, so the model's entire presentation happens on the exterior: the buttress transition from roof to tail, the long hood-to-cabin ratio, and the slim chrome window surrounds all need to read cleanly without an opening panel to compensate for a soft edge. Blue Metallic shows genuine depth under direct light, a livelier alternative to the darker greens this generation is typically finished in, and the scribed door and hood seams track evenly across the body. The XJS's distinctive rear quarter treatment, with its wraparound glass and creased buttress line, is rendered with the crisp tooling this construction tier delivers.
A Distinctive Finish for a Familiar Shape
Because the standard green XJS diecast is the more commonly seen version, this Blue Metallic Limited Edition offers real value to a collector who already owns the familiar finish and wants visual variety within the same subject. Displayed side by side, the two colors demonstrate how differently the same shape can read depending on finish, a useful lesson for anyone studying how paint affects perceived proportion. It slots naturally into a British GT collection alongside earlier or later Jaguar coupes, adding welcome color range to a shelf that might otherwise lean heavily on traditional British racing tones.
