Respect. I have a '94 Daimler 4.0, one of the last off the line. Built like a tank, no rust, looks like nothing else on the road. Definitely a keeper.
I love my 89 VP XJ40 and it loves me.
Having just bought my 1990 XJ40 Sovereign a month ago I agree, I love mine!
Its my first Jaguar...
96 VDP owner here- it’s amazing
Great to see gents who share the same passion for their Jaguars'!! Cheers!
We're looking forward to our club's 2014 meeting at Beaulieu Motor Museum in the New Forest in September. We'll have a paddock of our own to display our cars and hopefully good weather and a great turnout! Thanks for the comment and Best Regards!
I live in Chicago, IL. I own a 1994 XJ12/XJ81 6.0 with 83,000 mi on her, Pristine. "Miss Maid Marion" is her name, Black w/ Connolly Cream, factory installed stainless steel side kickers. Runs like a Beast, very fast, growls like a Jaguar when I feel like it. Actually very quiet & surprises many a muscle car owner, for it's quite silent. If they don't see the XJ12 badge, I just blow past the competition. Beautiful Black Cat, very regal & I feel like I own the road!
Cheers, Christopher!!
No other car gives you the feeling of a Jaguar !
I have owned two series3 xj one x300 and a xj40 sov.The 40 was the best in my view.
My first Jaguar was a 1988 XJ6/XJ40 It was blue with blue leather interior and Dayton wire wheels. I loved the handling and the driving experience. What I hated were the bad exterior door handles that would stick and break, The ABS and rear tail light modules also went bad on these cars. Once I bought a 1995 X300 Vanden Plas I never looked twice at a XJ40 because Jaguar got it right with the 1995-1997 X300.
Bonjour , les xj 40 après 90 étaient avec Ford très fiable.
getting an 1994 XJ4O limo this week
Greetings Eminzide! Do come and join us at the XJ40 owner's club website and say Hi to everyone you see on this video and hundreds more. We're a friendly lot, lots of technical knowledge and if you post photos of your Daimler we'll tell you how nice it looks :-) Warm Regards, Ivor
In Florida I had a 1990 XJ40. The diff whined, the engine leaked oil, the head gasket went south. The front rotors warped, every other day it would go into limp home mode. The water pump started leaking. The rotor arm burnt out. The mineral oil leaked, the washer res leaked, the windscreen wiper would not switch off. The glove box would fly open, the air conditioning stopped working, the steering rack started leaking, it wouldn't pass state emmisions, the newer style door handles started to get stiffer to use, I was waiting for them to snap. Yep nice Jag, I kept it for 5 yrs. The only thing I can say, it was better than my 1987 series 3. But the older series 3 handled better. The reason I kept the XJ40 was I got a fucking great blow job a month after I got it, ahh the memory's!!

It doesn't count unless the BJ was given by a woman :-)
Cheers Gareth! My Sovereign is also one of the last off the line and they are surely the most sought after of them all. Fascinating to see that white pre-production car owned by David Marks in the video. From first to last so to speak. Enjoy your Daimler, Best Regards, Ivor
Hi MiamiMillionaire! Luckily you don't have to be a millionaire to afford one of these wonderful cars. Mine is a 1994 4.0L Sovereign XJ40 in racing green with magnolia and green piped leather and champagne carpets. My pride and joy! Best Regards, Ivor
Thanks for the comment Paul! There's not a lot between the X300 and the "last of the line" XJ40 as many of the parts are common between them, but styling wise the XJ40 wins out for me. And for the prices you can pick one up for these days they are a great value way in to luxury motoring. Regards, Ivor
Will do, thanks!
Very nice video ......well done
Hahahaha thats my hubby the first guy! 😆😃😂🤣😆😂😂
I owned three(one series 3) before the one that I now have. I don't want any other ride.
congratulations ivor you realy done it well all the best boyan
Greetings! There are a few weak points to look for - usually areas that rust and rubber parts that simply deteriorate with age. Come on over to the forum at the URL mentioned in the video description and you'll find many owners willing to help! See you there, regards, Ivor
I'm buying a 1993 Daimler 4.0 with pretty high mileage 300k km, but with new MOT and no warning lights on, any tips?
wish i can join you guys.... I'm from Malaysia and I have a 1989 Daimler.....
I have a 1988 and 1990 jaguar xj40
I have 1990 dağlar daimler xj 40.big konfor i love my car
I just bought some replacement spark plug leads for my 1989 Sovereign 4.0, made by Cambiare, and they are no good. Let us know where to get some good spark plug leads :) Glad to watch this video.
BOSCH PLATINUM
Love Jaguar. Have an XJ8. Great video. Ruined by that ridiculous music. Any chance you could edit and remove? Thanks.
Im looking at a Jaguar xj6 4.0 1992 I know its not one of these bur they look similar
Anyone know which plastic material is used to manufacture XJ40 Headlights, need to repair some screw fixing points
Epoxy windshield repair kit.
plus fuel flap problems, fuel gauge reading faulty, idling problem, exhaust manifold studs breaking, lighting module faulty, overheating.
you may have bad luck from the attitude.
and then you decided to upload it in 240p....
Definitely not my idea! That's what YT mangled my lovely 3GB DV AVI into after a transfer that took nearly 3 hours to upload and process. Thank you ever so much though for pointing that out, I would never have noticed it you hadn't mentioned it ;-) I'll write to my MP and complain straight away...
13:00 looks like James May
pas pups leaking, windows regulator problems, oil leak at our of cylinder head.
osr.
I worked on Jags (jag master tech) from 1963-2008 and apart from the XJ 2.9lt the XJ 40 was crap, it was brought out to early and we had to do enhancements, practically rebuild the car from electrics, brakes etc, Trims, seals, water leaks Also so much went wrong with them ie: head gaskets, loss of brake pedal accumulater sphere leak, brake valve body Valves, Diff noise, brake calliper seizure, poor handbrake, Ride leveling shocks leaking causing suspension to knock or bounce, aircon faults , vent flap faults and vac pipes, electrical faults , warnings on dash , it was the earliest diagnostic systems JDS which was hit or miss ,too much to write about. I've probably left something out as it's been a long time ago. Cheer's.
+ what Tim Jones has said.💩.
