1988 Jaguar XJ40 review from North America
"A smooth and comfortable car at a fair price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced all hoses and belts.
Oil pressure gauge rewired.
A door panel was replaced.
A complete tune up.
General comments?
Leather seats and wood panels are very pleasing on the eyes and back.
High maintenance car, expensive to keep in top running condition.
