Vehicle Description
This a low mileage ~ 68,000 ~ Jaguar XJ40 6 cylinder sedan finished
in light metallic blue with biscuit tan leather interior. It has a
single gold stripe at the waist-rail. The car was traded into us
and we know little about it other than driving it about 30 miles.
Body is straight and paint looks to be factory original. The finish
is shiny and clean with only various minor marks, little scratches
and blemishes but overall very nice. This is clearly evident in the
photographs. Exterior cosmetics present quite well. There are 1 or
2 small rust bubbles starting to show but nothing serious. No rust
issues at the back window as is normally typical with Jaguars.
Glass, chrome, rubber appear all nice. Interior is clean with usual
wear on driver seat that could be easily colour dyed. The headliner
does not droop and looks like it may have been changed. No cracks
in the dash pad but a piece of the passenger side upper knee-roll
pad has come detached. Wood throughout is excellent but for some
delamination around the ash-tray in the centre console. Engine
seems to power nicely and idle well. No problems starting hot or
cold. Transmission chnages smooth and car brakes well. There is a
"low brake pressure light" that comes on from time to time as does
the ABS test-light but brakes feel ok. Driving, she is quite smooth
and fine over even rough surfaces. The car has NOT been
mechanically inspected at all so we know nothing more than our
short drive of her. Tyres appear to be good with at least 75% tread
if not more. Alloy wheels look clean and tidy. Engine bay presents
quite immaculately in congruous with the low miles. Trunk floor
carpet is missing. Spare is not original to car. Factory jack and
tools are present and unused. One rear electric window does not
work. Central locking is not working. A couple of the exterior door
handles are stiff to open. Driver's door is ok. The heater works
well but have not tested AC as it is simply too cold to test at the
time of listing. Radio appears to not work and antennae mast is
broken. A good looking cheap Jaguar that could be provide as a very
nice driver for someone eager to fix the basic nuances. Plenty of
pictures to review below and at the photo link. Many more photos
