Beschreibung
In the 1980s, car manufacturers and tire makers developed new wheel and tire dimensions to move away from inch sizes, such as Michelin's TRX tires with a size of 390 mm, roughly 15.5 inches. These tires and wheels were, in many ways, superior to inch sizes. However, the market was not ready for this transition. Original aluminum wheels for the XJ40 were also in that dimension. These come with the car, but for new tires in that dimension, the selection is very expensive and limited.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

Zustand technisch
Under the hood, it looks like it did at Jaguar in the eighties; somewhat intimidating for the DIY mechanic but still accessible in some way. The engine starts easily, feels good, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. All electrical equipment works well, including the digital displays. The green container at the front right in the engine compartment is for the then-criticized hydraulic level control at the rear, which used the same mineral oil as Citroën's classic integrated hydraulic system, LHM. On many cars, the level control was disconnected or removed, and the same was done with this example.
-
Zustand Interieur
Nice leather interior in classic British style, along with the walnut veneer inserts, where mainly the center console has some wrinkles and cracks. Headliner and carpets are in good condition, and the sunroof reportedly doesn't leak, according to the owner. The interior trim around the rear window has come loose at the top.
-
Zustand Exterieur
A clean and presentable exterior with a few minor notes; a couple of blisters at the lower edge of the windshield and at the front of the hood. The original rims with old tires are included, as well as a set of winter tires on steel rims. The aftermarket 16-inch rims with tires currently on the car make a noticeable sound against the inner fenders at maximum steering angle.

Zustand gesamt
Enthusiastically restored with admirable precision and dedication over 10 years. Today, it is a presentable and usable Jaguar classic without making any major demands on fine car treatment. Simply an elegant and dignified summer driver.

Fakten zum Modell
Daimler represents a more luxurious variant of Jaguar. It was available in Vanden Plas trim, sometimes with the addition of "Majestic" for kings and statesmen. A Daimler is quickly identified by the wavelike upper edge of the grille. The term "Sovereign" is the most common surname for Jaguar XJ6, which typically includes leather upholstery, and not much else is desired when it comes to Jaguar.
