I think I recall reading that crash-testing is voluntary and many smaller-production manufacturers do not go to the expense of having their vehicles tested. According to this website, neither the NHTSA nor the IIHS ever crash tested an XJ40:

1988 Jaguar XJ40 Crash Test Safety Ratings | CarComplaints.com

I don't know if Jaguar ever voluntarily crash-tested one, but here's a YouTube video of one being crashed for the sake of "art:"


And here's what appears to be a Series XJ6 in a head-on with a Ford Sierra (the Jag wins):



Cheers,

Don

Ha ha yes I was going to mention not that top one. I have heard that car was minus engine and drive train. The bottom one the xj certainly does win!! No I was thinking more of the crash test dummy style of lab video available for more modern cars
