Officially unveiled on 8th October, 1986, the XJ40 was an all-new redesign of the XJ to replace the Series III, although the two model ranges were sold concurrently until the Series III was discontinued in 1992. The XJ40 used the Jaguar independent rear suspension arrangement and featured several technological enhancements (such as an electronic instrument cluster). Initially, only two engines were offered across the XJ40 models: a 2.9 litre and a 3.6 litre version of the AJ6 inline-six. The curvaceous lines of the outgoing Series XJ were replaced by the more angular, geometric shape of the XJ40. The nose of the car would accommodate either matched pairs of round headlights or rectangular single units; the latter were fitted to the higher-specification Sovereign and Daimler trim levels. The Sovereign model came equipped with significantly more features than the base XJ6. Included was air conditioning, headlamp washers, a six-speaker sound system, rear self-levelling suspension, anti-lock braking system and box inlaid burr walnut wood trim.

This well looked after example is presented in metallic grey with magnolia leather interior both of which are in good general condition. Its 4.0 litre engine is mated to an automatic gearbox providing ample and smooth power to its occupants. Rear headrests, an abundance of leather, very good door cappings in the ubiquitous trim so frequently used by Jaguar for their luxury saloons. Upon delivery, we noticed the car has deloped a slipping fan felt. Consigned by James Good.
