JaguarXJ (XJ40)

The Jaguar XJ (XJ40) is a full-size luxury saloon manufactured by Jaguar Cars between 1986 and 1994. It was officially unveiled on 8 October 1986 as an all-new, second generation of the XJ to replace the Series III, although the two model ranges were sold concurrently until the Series III was discontinued in 1992. The XJ40 used the Jaguar independent rear suspension arrangement, and featured a number of technological enhancements, such as electronic instrument cluster. It was the last car to be developed independently by Jaguar, and also the last to have been developed largely within the lifetime of the company's founder Sir William Lyons, who died shortly before its release.
