Distinctive red Hermès leather interior contrasting with cream exterior
MOT valid until May 2027
The Appeal
The XJ40 demonstrated that Jaguar invested heavily in its more traditional saloon styling. It was equipped – for its lineage – with an electronic dashboard and independent rear suspension. It was the last truly independent Jaguar produced by the marque, and the last car designed during William Lyons' lifetime.
Finding an example equipped with the rare five-speed manual gearbox is almost a phoenix; this transmission was rarely ordered and is today highly sought after. Delivered new in Monaco and now showing 87,600 kilometres, this elegant manual example underwent in 2023 a respectful restoration including a full mechanical overhaul, a new paint job and an interior refurbishment while preserving its original character.
The striking colour combination, crème bodywork and red Hermès leather interior is particularly noteworthy. A true beauty, without a doubt/
Maintained exclusively by Jaguar professionals throughout its life using only manufacturer-recommended products, the car was also ceramic-coated in 2024, and proudly shows matching serial numbers and a MOT valid until May 2027, as well.image.png1.5 MB

✓ This vehicle is “Sold as seen”, on an “as is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for guidance only, and it is customary to perform a full vehicle inspection before purchase for peace of mind.
✓ VAT included in buyer fees. VAT may be included or not in the final bid price, as indicated in the listing.
✓ We aim for a smooth transaction, and to that end we have every UK-registered vehicle and motorcycle sold on Car & Classic checked via an online HPI check to ensure there are no write-offs or theft records in insurance databases and no outstanding finance, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as de-registered as a total loss in an insurance claim at the time of listing on Car & Classic and we conveniently provide damage category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's condition, and it is always prudent to perform your own full vehicle history check before bidding.
