Default Coupe to Soft Top?
I ordered a new top for my 1994 XJS
the top guy said my car was made into a Convertible from a coupe?
on the Firewall serial number SAJJNXFD4RS192363 is stamped.
on the Vin plate at windshield is SAJNX2742RC192363

Question is who done it?

ohsix,

He's wrong. Your VIN indicates your car is an original 2+2 convertible.

Hope that helps

Paul

no, it has a "real" Jaguar VIN, then because it came to the US, it had to be given a secondary VIN that met some US standard.

Hope that helps.

Okay so SAJJNXFD4RS192363 is the Jaguar Factory Serial Number stamped on firewall ?
and SAJNX2742RC192363 Is the US Vin Number.

The State of Virginia put Coupe on my Vehicle Title.

Ohsix,

No, they are both VINs. The first is the official VIN defined by Jaguar. The second is a secondary VIN also allocated by Jaguar to meet US standards.
