I guess since the last XJ40 is now 20 years old your model warrants classic status, at least here.
As time passes and my affinity for the brand grows, I see the XJ40 as a very desirable car indeed.

Cheers, Jim. No argument from me! My '91 has got collector plates on it and is treated like a weekender anyway. It's interesting to watch the XJ40 begin (here, in Jaguar World Magazine, and other places) to get the recognition that is probably overdue as a unique, evolutionary vehicle for Jaguar that turned out, besides the early electrics and notorious weak points (that all cars are going to have), to be a mechanical and engineering masterpiece. Classic indeed!

Took me awhile to figure out what had happened - you guys are way ahead of me.
In Tennessee, a car has to be 25 years old to register as a classic. Four more years to go for our '93.
I guess in this era of Internet & Bluetooth connectivity and cars that will not only park but practically drive themselves, an XJ40 could seem "classic," but compared to even a Series III an XJ40 is a very modern car that leaves little to be desired as far as I'm concerned.
Congratulations to us all, I guess!

hahaha yep we got moved....
took me a couple of tries before I realized I was infact going into the right catagory but we were not there.... then saw classic.
I have no objection.... they really are classic cars
I also believe that a car needs to be 25 yrs before it is considered classic here in Oz
