📚 Vehicle History

Brand Heritage

Brand Heritage Focus:

Jaguar's long-standing reputation for luxury, performance, and elegant styling, particularly in its large sedans.

Model Evolution

Model Evolution Context:

The XJ40 replaced the XJ-S in concept and the XJ6 (Series III) in production. The 1998 model year represents a later iteration of the XJ40, having received numerous updates and refinements since its introduction in 1986.

1998 Model Year Context:

As noted, the XJ40 production officially ended in 1994. A '1998' designation for an XJ40 in this context might indicate a manual covering late-stage XJ40 production updates or a slight mislabeling in the product information, as the X300/X308 series succeeded the XJ40 from 1995 onwards. However, the manual content listed is consistent with the XJ40's systems.

Production

Production Period:

The XJ40 platform was produced from 1986 to 1994. The '1998' in the product name likely refers to a later model year that might have been manufactured slightly outside the standard production run or a re-release of documentation covering the later stages of the XJ40 development or a similar model designation in certain markets. However, the XJ40 production officially ended in 1994, being succeeded by the X300/X308. This discrepancy should be noted.
