Jaguar XJ40 Sport 1993
Specifications
Description
Now here’s a hell of a lot of car for the money.
Launched in 1993 as a run out model for the final two years of XJ40 production, the S, or Sport, was designed to appeal to a younger demographic, ahead of the upcoming X300, which would have a Sport model as part of the standard line-up.
Indeed, the Sport was very much a precursor for the X300. Not only did it display a number of interior features that would appear on its successor, but it also featured a special ‘Sports Handling Pack’, which was effectively the suspension set-up that would underpin the XJ Sport models of the forthcoming X300, along with the same dashboard that would ultimately appear in its replacement.
The Sport, then, had a wonderful handling balance, exploiting the already excellent XJ40 chassis, but with slightly sharper steering inputs and a firmer, but no less cosseting ride. It was, from a driver’s perspective, the very best XJ40.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- We’ll keep this one real simple, as there’s really nothing much to say about this classic, save that its LIKE NEW. It looks exactly like it did when left the showroom floor.
- Sold By Archibalds in Christchurch, pretty much a one owner car from new, low miles – servicing records by Archibalds from new. Arguably, the best example in New Zealand.
- Absolutely perfect in every respect and factory original, paint and all.
- This car is not tidy or good – its concours – best you can get.
It has a bit of a cult following today, with its own register within the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club, and a reputation for being the most reliable among XJ40 variants, not to mention one of the more desirable.
TRANSPORT / SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.
Will be sold WOF’d and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
