Yes""""""""""""""s they are! I wouldn''''t go any more than about a 36" stretch on an XJ it would look bad if it were to be stretched beyond this. It is in some ways similar to the 82 Cadilllac Seville in size, and the one we had looked good. These days with ridiculous stretches, they''''ve taken away the class of a stretch and made it tacky!!! Gotta take back my comment on the concertible XJ, I''''ve seen a few on the web and they look pretty good. Maybe time to take the torch to my XJ as it''''s worthless as a keeper anyway. Then again I''''m seriously thinking about getting my $6000.00 investment back by making the cat into a demo derby car! They''re solid and it would make quite a statement in getting creamed by a Jag at a derby!!! Allows me to take out my frustration on the cat after wasting so much money on it.

It''s funny, but I don''t care for the XJ40''s as much as the other XJ sedans. But.....when it comes to stretching it to a limo, I think the XJ40 is far superior to the other sedans. I don''t know what kind of sense that makes, but there it is. I agree, not too long of a stretch. I saw one pic of an XJ40 limo with the square headlamps and it looked awesome. The Series 3''s just look goofy as limos. Looks like someone''s trying too hard.

I believe Daimler Majestic versions for the XJ40s offer a much longer w/b yet higher roof .Well, I think XJ40 looks even bigger than it looks to the outside view and I see no point of extending such a beauty . I prefer 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood for livery business

Or how about a nice factory limousine say a 1975/76 Cadillac Fleetwood Formal. That was a Limo!! 472 cid and power!
