In the early 1980s Jaguar launched the XJ12luxury sports car , having developed a product  which was acknowledged to be of excellent quality and performance.  The price has been set at £ 3726 compared with at least  £6000 for comparable  vehicles.  At this price the company believed that the planned output of 2000 vehicles units could be sold but it continued to produce the jaguars at various factory units..  The price had been arrived at following the cost plus method, by estimating the cost per car at full capacity and then adding a satisfactory margin.   The company however sold 6000 units, as expected demand exceeded supply. By the end of 1972 there was a two year waiting list for the product and second hand cars were being sold for price  which exceeded the list price by more than 40%.  It was also known that was sold at the higher price of  £ 5226.
