The Car Behind This Bag

1994-1995 · 4.0L AJ6/AJ16 inline-six · Coventry · XJ40 / X300 chassis · the last Jaguar before full Ford integration

1994 was the final year of the XJ40 platform; 1995 was the first year of the X300 that replaced it. Both cars were Jaguar saloons in the long late-Egan / early-Ford era — engineered before the takeover but launched into a company that had become, by then, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford. The 4.0-litre AJ6 inline-six and its successor the AJ16 were refinements of the engine the XJ40 had introduced in 1986, and the X300's body softened the XJ40's harder edges back toward the older Series III silhouette in deliberate response to long-time customer feedback.

The X300 was the Jaguar that proved Ford ownership could work without destroying the brand. Quality control, which had been catastrophically inconsistent through the late XJ40 years, finally stabilized. Jaguar's reputation in North America began to recover. The X-Files put an XJ6 on screen as the FBI vehicle of an Oxford-educated character. By 1996 the XJR supercharged variant had become the alternative to the BMW M5 for buyers who wanted something more discreet.

Jaguar built 92,038 X300 saloons across the model's run from 1994 to 1997. The original Connolly hide and figured-walnut interiors — built in Coventry on the same line that had produced the XJ40 — remain the period statement of British saloon design at the precise moment ownership transitioned to Detroit.
