Hi guys

Does anyone know the answer to these questions?
numbers of coupe by color
how can I find out when my car was built ?
thanks 🙏

 

August 1993 according to the VIN label.

 

Manufacture year is what production figures would be based on. The stats I have seen are based on what date the car was built, month/year, and this may not be the same as the model year as we know it in the US.

 

Here are production numbers. No separations other than engine and body style are provided file:///C:/Users/Dave/Desktop/xjs%20production.pdf

6.0 Coupe - worldwide production (+/- a few cars!)

By Production for Calendar Year:

1994 - 252 cars
1995 - 59 cars
1996 - 1 car

By "US Model Year designation" (rather than how Jaguar designated Model Year for the UK & the Rest of the World)

1994 - 337 cars
1995 - 60 cars
1996 - 10 cars

Hope that helps

Paul

 

I have read for the XJS V12 convertibles it was 88 in 1994 and 11 in 1995.

 

My 94 XJS was built in Sep of 1993. There are two different books dealing with the production numbers:

1. A Collectors Guide Jaguar XJS by Paul Skilleter V12 coupe 93 139, 94 109, 95 51
convertible 93 348, 94 632, 95 362
2. You & Your Jaguar XJS by Nigel Thorley coupe 93-96 772
convertible 93-96 76, 96 Celebration only 76

So you can take your choice.

 

Ralph,

Unfortunately there is a lot of confusion and misquoted figures and some of that was driven by some inaccurate original published figures by Jaguar Heritage 20 years ago. Nigel's figures for Coupes are within 2 of what I believe to the correct figure as posted above. But his figures for 6.0 convertibles were wrong and corrected in later editions of his book.

I'm not sure where Paul Skilleter got his figures (I'll ask him next time I see him), or whether they profess to be Calendar year, or "MY". His Coupe figures aren't far from the figures I quoted above, but his convertible figure is too low.

Next time I get to Jaguar Heritage, I'll try and get a further verification of my figures.

Paul

 

Thank you for the replies - so, according to my VIN my car was built on Aug 93 -
I will contact the Jaguar Heritage to get a complete read of the vin

Paul - Thanks, I look forward to whatever clarification that is forthcoming. Ralph
