Looks in damn good nick for an H reg. :y
1991?
Is that an in-line 6 4.0 Litre engine? :o
-
nice car love the interior but i think id keep my mig, i think the only thing id change mine for is another mig :y
-
yup, 4.0 litre, 1990 on the logbook, full main dealer history untill 2003, it drives spot on its just the bodywork, if you look very closely at the top pic you'll see where the o/s/r wheelarch just aint there anymore ! the exterior pics were taken the day before the weldathon !
-
there are many times i wished i'd never swapped and kept my miggy but these old jags are my biggest weakness, but i am looking for a nice spec facelift omega so its not all lost ! i still love omegas !
-
Bautiful car the jag, just a shame the cars are blighted by crap rust protection, i have seen these with huge great rust holes in the corner of the rear screen, and notice that you have it on the front of the bonnet underneath, Still turns an eye to this day and the leather looks just scrummy. 8-)
-
yep too right rust ! this was quite a good'n to some i've had and the welding this needed was unreal ! as you say the leading edge of the bonnet, rust proof it and hope it dont get too bad, at least the boot's ok they can be terrible ! it took a whole day cleaning and feeding the leather, but i think it was well worth it ;D
-
very good condition..and shiny paint.. :y

I was wondering that ::)
Very nice though mate, i've also always liked Jag's.
My mate had one like your's, but an old F reg, went like ^%$£$" hell too :o
-
it is a phone ! a factory fitted option i believe, it has the jumping cat logo on it anyway, it turns on and works but obviously wont make or recieve calls, and its got a built in hands free kit ! theres a massive control unit for it in the boot aswell. i expect it was state of the art in 1990 ! ;D

Nothing wrong with a proper Carphone.... Full 8 Watt Transciever gets you a return signal from a cell where any other mobile would fail.....
I guess it's an old ETACS analogue one though which wouldn't be much use now it's been turned off and we've all gone GSM/PCN digital!

Nice car, but it's got the wrong shape bonnet and lights, should be round lights, like all good Jags

Oh no,that's how you recognise it is a true sovereign or Daimler. This is from the time that the round lights equals entry level model....
Although the interior would stop me from having one again, they are still the most comfortable and best handling car I have driven of the big saloons on the horribly bumpy english country roads...

That's not true my Ex Father-in-law had a top-spec Daimler with round lights, Jaugar change the bonnet and lights to that type, so to update the model and in doing so upset so many of their customer's, they changed them back

All sov/daimler XJ40s left the factory with the square lights, although it is easy enough to change them for the round units. As for the fordised X300/X308 vresions.. yuck, look like an SIII XJ that and elephant has sat on the front of. The XJ40 was the last good looking XJ. IMHO the XF is just horrible and the S-Type is just a tarted up lincoln. I do wish I still had my 3.6 XJ40 Daimler

as Stewart already said. If it was an xj40 as pictured in this thread it would have had square headlights. I guess you are mistaken with the x300 or it was not a real Daimler or the lights were exchanged.
I the jaguar has it spot on with the xf. They need to get some younger buyers instead of competing with the blue rinse bus passes. The xf is stunning in the metal, it handles great and it looks nice and young. Will bring some younger buyers to jaguar. I was at the public unveiling in Milton Keynes and besides the usual blah blah old folk there were many twenty somethings.
Then again I am biased for my wife, roll on may for a premium luxury tractor with b&w soundsystem. ;) purely for the schoolrun to downsize and be more Eco friendly compared to the murano ;D
-
quite right, all sovereign and daimler xj40's came with square lights, the xj6 had the round quad ones and the xj-r, the sovereign also had chrome window surrounds, more chrome round the rear lights, and inside leather door handles and door pockets, leather centre console, matchstick inlayed burr walnut, pull out rear reading lights and electric front seats, most had cruise and air con. the daimlers had walnut picnic tables in the backs of the front seats and different walnut again. mine has the daimler spec rear window roller blinds. by the way, have you ever seen an early xj6 2.9 ?, with its cloth seats, elm wood and switch blanks everywhere ?! the lights were'nt the only things they changed because of being to un-jaguar-ish, remember the digital instruments of the early xj40's ?

Nice, Classic :y :y
