New customer last week with an XJ40 4ltr Majestic a couple of questions, how many Majestic were made and what years, I ask the year question because the customer, who has had the vehicle a couple of years said it was a '96
As far as i know the XJ40 ended in 92/93, its a battery in boot model, so my guess is 92ish, what is it worth ? 70,000 on the clock good condition, very nice interior, but with petrol prices still on the way up, would anyone want one? Nice car but like a lot of Jags not a daily driver if you have to do a few miles to work

Surely Roly's your man for that question! Isnt it something like 7 or is that 7 still in existence or unaccounted for

Rob,

I think that illustrates a general problem - people will persist in using the date of first (usually UK) registration as the 'year' of the car when, specification-wise, it is totally irrelevant - even to the extent of whether the car is an XJ40 or an X300.

If only they would stick to MODEL YEAR which is clearly defined by the VIN, then there would be no confusion.

Who the hell is concerned if the car is 'N', 'M' or any other registration year? The MY / VIN is what matters when identifying the build standard of the car.

Hi, there !!

My name is François, living in South of France, very proud owner of 2 Daimler Majestic, Kingfisher Blue and Black, , 1x1993, 1x 1994 !
I should like to be in touch with Rob Jenners ! It would be fine whether he could be so kind and contact me for further discussions about "our" lovely cars !!

And may be, he would accept I send him "Best Regards" from Sébastien Canevet, who also owns a Majestic ! So far as I know, both have met in Scotland a couple of years ago !

We have already created the "FMOC", which means "French Majestic Owner Club" ! We have a huge quantity of Members, sorry !, two Members, Sébastien and me ! and with 3 "Majestic" 4.0L (RHD), we both own 20 % of this marvellous cars which have been sold in the UK !
We'll try to increase this, but it's quite difficult !!

Best Regards to all the Members !!

just seen this, we have been away on sone family issues that have taken up a fair bit of time, feel free to send me a pm and I will give you my contact details

rob

and this !!

well I know the Kingfisher car, first owner was Shell, the second car I think I know, but with no reg showing it is difficult, but it may have been in Edinburgh sometime in it's life, am I correct??
