SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLDReluctant sale due to house move and loss of storage. 4 litre petrol 6-cyl, 4 speed auto. It has been in a farmers barn for 6 months, I have just put a fresh MOT on it valid until July 2025. 92k miles, some history. LOTS of new and used parts included. Paintwork shocking (less shiny less stress), interior good (headlining aside), chrome good. Mechanically its good, and rust-wise the hard work is done, floorpans good. I do have the door trims and boot carpets. Usual Sovereign refinements including CD player, electric seats and windows, trip computer and cruise control. It all works apart from one of the rear windows, but I will try and sort this prior to sale. Recent work includes Extensive welding repairs to front end, all cavity waxed and lanogaurded. New rear shocks, New Tyres x4, lots of new front bushes/links, New Radiator/condenser carrier, New Front Discs and Pads, Steering rack spacer modification installed plus new rack gaiters. Lots of Pictures of this work including the welding and fabrication available on request, I'll put them in my build thread. Bad bits: Rear arches/sills are a bit tatty as pictured but nothing awful (they passed an MOT like it, and a pattern sill is supplied). Central locking can be intermittent but its never really bothered me. Slight Rumble from N/S on hard cornering. Possibly a bush, possibly just the exhaust. Still, its definitely a truly lovely old thing, its like driving a big fast national trust pile. I have daily'd it on and off for around 18 months, but frankly sustaining my own appetite for the drink is expensive enough, and I am doing up a crusty old house now so have to be realistic about projects. Scruffy, yes. Too good for the Oval, Also yes. Find another non-flintstones, MOT'd 4.0 for the money though. I'm after £950. located in south oxfordshire, UK. V5 present, no P/x. No warranty or garuntee is given or implied. Best to phone if youre interested: 07526173761. Any questions please feel free to ask. More pictures available on request. Many thanks, David.

^ isn't it just!!!!!!
It's something of an opposite to most XJ40's at this price point: ie the paintowrk is hideous but the bodywork is solid. A lot look nice and shiny but have a sunshine-floor.
Totally forgot I had this up for sale, I was half considering keeping it. But, life be getting in the way a bit and it isnt getting used so I would consider sensible offers. Look at the red and green-ness, its really christmassy.

Anyone want to make a sensible offer before I chuck it on eBay?

These are fantastic cars. If I didn't already have a dozen others.... Literally no space at the inn.
My ol' man had one like this as a company car back in the day. Loved it.

As a life long Jaguar (and generally british car) fan I've not heard the term "sunshine floor" before buts its definately one I will borrow in future :-)

On one hand I am frustrated that I missed the end of the auction, but on the other hand its probably for the best. Hopefully no ebay messers on this one

^ Afraid so, hence It's still here I'm afraid. I have fortunately managed to find some storage for the time being, where it is quite happily sat on SORN. I will put it through another MOT when the current one expires in April.
Sensible offers still invited, but in the absence of any of those, I'll just keep it. bye for now, Dave

Price Drop to £1100. It has 2 months MOT left, it runs out on the 27th of April. I will put it through another (encompassing any work required, if any) and price it accordingly if it's still here then. It's quite happy in dry storage for now but I could do with the space and cash due to a house move. Parts included in the sale include new front shocks, new rear discs and pads (no horrible inboard units on these), full service kit and fluids including cap, leads, gearbox filter and seal, new "fishtank" headlamp, front bumper chrome top section, driveshafts, camshaft cover and viscous fan.

I have taken it out from its 6-month slumber and put some fresh MOT on it.
Any takers?

Hi, Fair point... I drove it only about a mile from my lockup to the test station following a 6 month layup, that would explain the emissions! I gave it a jolly good ten mile spank back home (hopefully see to that...), and have fixed the washers and the foglights. Can highly reccomend Servisol switch-cleaning spray, far better than WD40, we do love an easy fix!! Re-Test is this afternoon, which I have no doubt it will pass, watch this space
