Facelifted XJS [XJ77] from 1991-96 |

I'm not confident on XJS changes but suggest this is May 93 - June 94 edition (bumper mods, chrome mirrors, 5 spoke alloys) - could be 4.0 or 6.0 engine. June 94 onwards had body-coloured mirrors, new wheels etc. |

Do you know a lot about Jaguars? I always think the XJ40s on this site need organising a bit better, they were made for 9 years and I think many are just listed with the year as 1986 by default when they may be newer (certain details may show this). Also I'd like to be able to tell which of the Jaguar XJ's are XJ12s. On the Series I and II it's easier because they had a V on their grilles, with the XJ40 the V12 engine came very late in the production and not many were made but how do you tell with the X300 XJ's? And is there any way of telling with the Series III XJ's? |

@G-Mann - not much, but I've got a good set of Glass's guides for info to draw from, but no source material on these Jags with reliable photos of what and when. Agree with all your list of uncertainties - I've sometimes looked at the XJ S1-3 and cleaned a few over the months, but not attempted a full exercise. XJ40s some occasional clear examples but too much overlap as Jag kept changing details and stuck the Jaguar Sovereign between the ordinary Jag and the Daimler which creates overlaps of detail. Not confident about X300s, and am wary of XJS because I found Glass's had missed out the 3.6 completely from some editions - first real fault I've found with them. Might be worth a collaborative effort to define what details can be used to separate the various possibilities within each group and then trying to apply them. |

http://www.jag-lovers.org/ have lots of Jaguar brochures from different years. |

I am really starting to think we've been getting it all wrong on this site by putting Sovereigns as "XJ6 Sovereign" instead of Sovereign as the model name, for XJ40s at least. Because in the original Jaguar brochures I've looked at on some sites, they list their model range as XJ6, Sovereign and Daimler. Although I'm not sure whether this should be the case with the later Jag XJ's (X300, X308, X350), or the earlier ones (Series I-III) for that matter. What do other people think? |

A danger of going in too deep. I usually prefer to think of how a non-expert might search for cars so would look for XJ6 rather than Sovereign and would miss examples unless there was a twin reference. But there may be a case for going in deeper and using every Jaguar XJ code - I think there are up to 20, not just the few we've picked out. This would have a couple of disadvantages as some XJS are not easily separated visually and would need joint codes, and it would cause some entries like Jaguar XJ6 [XJ6], but at the moment we have an informal balance of partly using the codes which has holes in it. |

No, I'm justing talking about listing Sovereign under [XJ40]. If you clicked [XJ40] that would bring them all up (except the Daimlers) -- Last edit: 2011-06-18 20:00:36 |

... and the XJ6 Sovereign /vehicle.php?id=274109 ? I'm also keen on the idea of being able to capture codes across brands to capture, for instance Jag and Daimler XJ40s, but that's probably for the future. -- Last edit: 2011-06-18 20:32:27 (G-MANN) |

Now was the proper name for that XJ6 Sovereign or Sovereign? Wasn't there an XJ12 Sovereign, or was it Sovereign V12? -- Last edit: 2011-06-18 20:48:26 |

DVLA lists most as something like 'Jaguar Sovereign 4.0' and that goes for Series III as well as XJ40. |

XJ12 for S1 (July 72) and early S2 (Oct 73 - March 75). Renamed XJ5.3 from May 75 when fuel injection fitted, interior upgrade, vinyl roof, chrome side strip, 5.3 rear logo, but still S2. Same name for S3 Mar 79 - July 81, when renamed XJ5.3HE with upgraded engine, headlamp wash/wipe and standard alloys until Oct 83, when it became Sovereign HE until Sept 89 and final rename 5.3 V12 until ended production June 92. No real changes listed after July 81. This is a likely topic for the imcdb exam paper, so deserves careful study. |
