The XJ40 was the mainstay of Jaguar production from 1986 to 1994; it also was the last saloon in which William Lyons had any styling involvement. Its technological sophistication broke new ground, and was the saloon that reintroduced the marque to a younger buying public, despite electronic and body glitches. The XJ40 touted sales of more than 200,000 cars and was a Jaguar showcase. Included here is the history of this recent favorite, with engine specifications, tips on buying, maintaining and restoring your vehicle, and lists of available accessories.

This review is from: You and Your Jaguar XJ40 (Hardcover)
A recent addition to my Jaguar book collection.This book covers just about everything any XJ40 owner and enthusiast will love.And it even covers the 6.0 V12 models.This book fits the "Complete Companion" series of books.I love the section that includes modified cars.This is the best book on the XJ40 model Jaguars.I hope the auhor Nigel Thorley writes an equivalent book on the X300 models that followed the XJ40.I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: You and Your Jaguar XJ40 (Hardcover)
I have both the XJS and this book by Mr. Thornley, and found them both to be very accurate. You'll be impressed with yourself for purchasing this book (and delusional for buying the car, but that's between you and your shrink).
