From February 1972 cars destined for North America were required to have a model year identifier as part of their chassis number. This allowed authorities to identify which emissions standard the car should adhere to.
In response to this Jaguar added a prefix to their chassis numbers of 'U' which presumably stood for United States and then a second character that moved through the alphabet as the year changed. For the 2 door XJ
the following prefixes are applicable.
Prefix |
Model Year |
UF |

Engine numbers for both the straight 6 and V12 comprised of three parts. The prefix denoted the vehicle model the engine was built for, or perhaps assigned to.
This was followed by a sequential serial number. The suffix gave the engine's compression ratio and on the V12 a second letter gave the piston and liner grade,
either A or B. A grade liners are 0.001" smaller with a diameter of 3.543" versus the 3.544" of grade B.
