Thats ok!

Yes, like that one, however... the front grille veins on XJ40`s (am I spelling veins right?) are chromed plastic & tend to corrode/chip, MANY owners simply spray them matt black with aerosols to cover this up.

Also many XJ40 owners (especially those with the expensive metric tyres) upgrade their wheels, the lattice wheel was fitted as standard to many XJS`s & X300`s, as well as certain XJ40`s so they are plentiful on the second hand market & often find theyre was onto XJ40`s...

I`ve also noticed many XJ40`s on the big(& small) screen end up getting destroyed & are deffinately made up of bits & pieces of several XJ40`s, again, making identification impossible.

So really there is no way of knowing for sure without seeing the badging on the boot or opening the bonnet (or measuring the exhausts which are marginly bigger bore).

Even the SI-III V12`s were virtually indistiguishable from the six`s, on the SIII the only difference on the later ones with the pepperpot wheels, was 1" wider wheels which are difficult to spot(& again, wheels have been swapped around by owners).
