MoT Expiry: N/A
*Browns Lane registered XJ40
*Good history file with 13 stamps in service book
*New MoT
Officially unveiled in October 1986, the Jaguar XJ40 was the car that brought the XJ series into the modern era. The car completely changed how the company designed and assembled their vehicles, with the XJ40 using 25% less body panels for its production process. The car was also incredibly well engineered for its time and a big step up from the ageing Series III, offering less weight, drag, wind noise and a stronger structure – all to help benefit fuel economy and performance. This 1994 example was produced in the final year of XJ40 production, and was officially registered as a Browns Lane company vehicle at its assembly plant in Coventry. The car has an extensive history file with its original handbook and service manual (with plenty of servicing, repair invoices and old MOTs). The service book has 13 entries, with the last entry on the 7th August 2018 at 101,841 miles. The car has a current MOT expiry on 10th August 2021, however a fresh MOT will be obtained prior to the auction. Overall the car is in good condition with good solid bodywork and a well-presented interior. The car has been used sparingly by the vendor and the 3.2 AJ6 inline-six engine runs and drives well. A lovely example.
