We probably all agree that the XJ40 is an attractive car, but I was just wondering what color is the overall favorite, along with what color everyone drives.
I really like Signal Red, Kingfisher Blue (of course

) and black.
Anyone else?

Metallic black is my fave color besides that I love my XJ40''s color .Chancing the color to a 98 VDP''s was in my contemplation as well. However I decided to keep it as it is .It''s dark blue

I can recall the "official" Jaguar name for it, but there was a champaigne color on the 94 models that was just gorgeous. Especially, on the XJ12''s with the 20 spoke wheels.

Ahem... There is only one color for the XJ6''s as evidenced by the fact most of them were painted that color, I''d have to vote for British Racing Green. Of course I''m biased as my old cat is BRG. The new sage green Jaguar color on the XK8 series would look really great on a XJ40 IMHO. BTW XJjag/jeep Our cats could be twins.

There actually was a sage green color available for some XJ40s, but I think it''s pretty rare. I''ve only seen it once or twice.

I wonder how much it has to do with market. BRG is the least common we see down here in the shop.
