	Model: Daimler 4.0 litres (XJ40) Year: 1990 Mileage:131, 000 Tax: now sorn'd. MOT:19/06/13 Pics: here and some below Location: Warwickshire, CV34 Price: ~~£2000.00~~ reduced Contact details: 07880777915 For sale is my Daimler XJ40. I have owned this car for the last four years. The car has been restored intensively during this period and has been looked after by a Jaguar engineer. I recently used the car as my wedding car. The car is very clean inside out. The interior is in excellent condition, with no rips or tears on the leather seats. The body is very sound and virtually rust free. Must be seen to appreciate its overall condition. The car comes with a comprehensive service history and has always been dry stored during winters under my ownership. This XJ40 is not to be confused with the usual rust buckets you can find out there and it is becoming increasingly difficult to come by a model as good as this one. Being a Daimler makes this XJ40 even harder to come across and more desirable. Key features of the car are: •Daimler spec interior •Limited slip differential (specific to Daimler models) •4-speed electronic ZF gearbox (with sport mode) •AJ6 Jaguar engine •XJ-S 60th celebration 16” alloys •New front suspension bushes and ball joints •New water pump •New starter motor •New battery •Recent service The car is for sale to finance a new project. Here are some pictures of the car. More pictures can be found here

	Thx firman. BTW, forgot to mention that the car is fitted with a Toad alarm and comes with all the original document shown in the image below plus full record and receipts of what has been done to the car for the last 7-8 years. I hope this car can find a good home.

	Took the car out of the garage this morning for a quick run. Just noticed that the mileage is actually 129500, not 137000 miles as previously stated. Not sure why I thought the mileage was 137k. That'll teach me doing a listing without checking my fact first Anyway, not sure the 8000 miles less on the clock will drive more interest in the car but at least the correction is now made.

	Weekend bump! This awesome car is still for sale. Not many of those around in this condition so definitely gets noticed on the road. Everything in the car works, including the AC. The questionable self-levelling rear suspension system was converted back to the standard coil & spring system. Both AJ6 engine and electronic ZF gearbox are bullet proof and often considered as the best combination in term of classic Jag powertrain. If this is not getting any interest, it will go on Ebay, with reserve as I am not letting the car go at rust bucket value. Failing all this, I will tuck the car up in the garage for the winter and revisit the idea of a new project next year.

	Bump, on the basis that I could do with the garage space. Reduced, on the basis that the vehicle is now SORN'd but can be taxed at buyer's expense.

	What a lovely example... I had completely forgotten how great the XJ40s look! Really wish I had the space. Definite future classic!

I think the wheels complete the look, much better than the original Daimler wheels in my opinion. Must say they do take a lot of space, those XJ40s. When we moved house last year, we had to find a place with a garage deep enough to fit its whole 16ft! Couldn't bare the idea of letting her sleep outside, especially after it'd been restored.

	Ok, came across an attractive offer on a new project this evening on Ebay, and after a quick deliberation and a slightly nagged approving nod from the wife I clicked on the mighty Buy Now button! So this means that the space in the garage is now required to start work on this new project coming home soon. I am therefore opened to any reasonable offers that would see the car out of my hands sharp'ish. Please, no swap/PX, this would end my marriage!

	Weekend bump before the car ends up on eBay. Don't want to do that but the space is needed. Final call for offers !

	I'm stripping an LPG kit off an XJ40 soon, it could make this one a cheap daily drive. PM me if there is any interest

	Christ, someone got a bargain there! I would have considered a punt at that price if I had not recently purchased a slice of 80s (well, 90s) retro in addition to having nowhere to put it!

	Sold my other Jag this week and I have now room for another car. So I am now open to swap offers or P/X (money going my way as wife won't allow any other way). So please try me, I am open to anything as long as it hasn't a BMW badge on it

	Still for sale. Took the opportunity of the first weekend of decent weather to clear the tool shed and I stubbled upon a spare J-gate amongst other Jag spare parts. Will fit this over the week and see if if cures the dodgy connection in Park. Also had the chance to give the old girl a wash and take a few pics Bling effect! Fury dice not included in the sale Also a comedy pic with the wife's car
