Smile Didn't know there was such a thing as a 6.0L X300

I was at the web site, JustJagsUK.com, looking for a TPS for my 1995 X300. The part they listed was for a 6.0L X300. I didn't know there was such a thing as a 6.0L X300. Can someone enlighten me please. Being on the west side of the pond I need some education in this area.

Thanks guys

Yes indeed.

Last of the "real engined" Jags.

As far as I remember only a few hundred ever made, no idea of RHD/LHD numbers.

I think there are only 4 or 5 in Australia, and I also believe they are all Daimlers, but I may be wrong????.

Nippon Denso engine management system, super reliable, and just the best ever in MY opinion. Still fetching "serious" money whenever one appears for sale.

729 US ('Sovereign') XJ12s
1099 ROW XJ12s
2337 Daimler Double Sixes

Jaguar XJ (X300) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wanted one but couldn't face the fuel bills. Starting with a 3.2 instead.

Here's the breakdown, with XJRs thrown in as well:

XJR Production:-

Year Produced
1994 1340
1995 2741
1996 2148
1997 318

That makes a total of 6547 X300 XJR's.

X300 V12 production:-

6 Litre XJ12 short
1993 1
1994 483
1995 80
total 564

6 Litre XJ12 Long
1994 1
1995 338
1996 196
total 535

6 Litre XJ12 short Sovereign (overseas model)
1993 1
1994 393
1995 206
1996 62
1997 11
total 673

6 Litre XJ12 long Sovereign (overseas model)
1994 2
1995 30
1996 19
1997 5
total 56

6 Litre Daimler Double six short
1993 3
1994 485
1995 445
1996 57
1997 17
total 1007

6 Litre Daimler Double six long
1995 459
1996 691
1997 180
total 1330

That makes a total of 4165 X300 V12's





I'd love to have one one day. It certainly must rank as one of the all time great Jaguars. Sadly, the few that come up for sale always seem to need quite a bit of attention. You can buy these for peanuts in the USA. But I'd have to think that a truly mint condition example would command a high price from a Jaguar guy.

Cheers

While you have your source to hand (my copy of Nigel's book is packed away ready for my house move), would you mind listing 3.2 Sovereign LWBs by year? I recall the total is 305. Mine's a 1996 MY, built in late 1995.

I'd love to know the breakdown by colour and handedness but people tell me that involves a lot of paperwork and mainframe time at Jaguar.

That's all I have, sorry. It's a cut-n-paste from an older J-L posting which was (as I recall) compiled from the JDHT webpage.

Cheers
