		Jaguar was among the first manufacturers to offer independent rear suspension on its cars and the original design, first introduced on the 1961 E-type, was still used on the series 3 XJ6 with harder to service inboard brakes.
		Originally, the XJ40 engine bay was designed not to accept any Vee engine, something the designers did to ensure that then owner British Leyland wouldn't be tempted to use a Rover V8 to power the new XJ40.
		The earlier versions of the XJ40, still under the influence of Jaguar's dark days, had their shares of problems which were solved with time and the latest cars (92 to 94) are fairly reliable.

		THE JAGUAR AJ6 ENGINE - 3.2, 3.6, AND 4.0 LITRE
		The AJ6 engine was the first Jaguar production engine to use the four valves per cylinder layout that is now regarded as being the best way to achieve high efficiencies of both combustion and gas flow.
		History has shown the AJ6 engine to be a very reliable power unit and it responds well to breathing improvements to the induction and exhaust systems in much the same way as the older V12 and XK engines.

	THE JAGUAR V12 ENGINE / AJ6 Engineering
		We have found that improving the response from the engine in part throttle operation will often deliver the same performance in a higher gear, thus the overall fuel consumption is hardly altered even though the engine is much livelier.
		Jaguar's solution on the 6 litre XJ-S was to take the intakes over the top of the radiator but despite small "tuning holes" in the ducts to kill resonance, to some people those engines display an unpleasant low speed drone.
		Jaguar designed their V12 inlet manifolds originally in the 1960s when manufacturing techniques were such that pragmatism often took precedence over idealism.

		Its former name was Jaguar XJ-S and was basically based from the XJ sedan and formally came in as the 1976 model year.
		It was in 1981 that Jaguar XJS had finally been rated with high efficiency fuel economy and a year after, the vehicle won the first and second places at the Tourist Trophy race held at Silverstone.
		Among the changes that took place were the enlarged windows, the 4-litre version of the AJ6 engine, and the V12 was upgraded to 6 liters in 1993.

		Jaguar's quality had not been all that it might have been in the late seventies and Egan's immediate goal was to restore customers' confidence in the British marque.
		The AJ6 was intended for a completely new range of saloons but, in true Jaguar tradition, it was first fitted in a lower volume model launched in September 1983.
		Jaguar consulted several distinguished Italian styling houses but eventually it was Bob Knight who created the initial shape of the XJ40, as the project was entitled.

	FiBoy's Mk 1 restoration; modernization of a Jaguar Mark I Saloon 2.4 litre
		I was dreaming of changing the sideline to follow the wonderful contours of Jaguar Mark I Coupe that was an early study made at Jaguar factory - it is a pity that it never commenced.
		The 2.4/3.4 L sedan was the first unit-construction saloon of all Jaguars and therefore it was conservatively overdesigned and was actually quite strong.
		The speedometer is a Jaguar 420 one with internals from ser III and using XJ-40 magnetic pick-up through an adaptor made by Robinson Instrument Services.

	Cars - Jaguar XJS
		The Jaguar XJ-S (later the XJS) was a luxury GT coupe from Jaguar.
		Jaguar's timing was not good: the car was launched in the wake of the first fuel crisis and the market for a 5.3-litre V12 grand tourer was very small.
		Jaguar were urged to market their own version but never did.

	South Florida Jaguar Club - 40th anniversary of the E-type
		Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons was on hand to personally demonstrate the car; incidentally he was known to prefer the styling of coupe to the convertible which may explain why both Geneva show cars were coupes.
		Original reaction to the car was such that Jaguar was not ready to mass produce it and it would take 2 years to finally create the tooling needed to produce the steel body instead of the hand made aluminum panel used on the early car.
		Once again, history repeated itself with Jaguar launching a new engine designed for a saloon in a sports car, just like they had done with the XK engine in 1948 and incidentally as they will do again with the AJ6 engine in the mid eighties and even the V8 in 1996.

		When Nostalgia Cars built its first Jaguar XK replica it was logical to start at the beginning with a 120 lookalike, but there were always plans for the later XK140 variant and the car you see here is merely the latest example to roll out of the company's Somerset-based works.
		Always a Jaguar fan, he has moved onto the Classic 140 from an SS100 replica, the increased practicality of the new car being a boon when it comes to the classic rallies he regularly enters, alongside the occasional hillclimb and more general blasting about.
		With an aluminium block (instead of cast iron), the newer engine is some 40 kilos lighter than the old unit while, in 4-litre guise, it also develops a healthy 235bhp.

	XJ-S Engine Modifications
		AJ6 Engineering offers revised butterfly housings on an exchange basis in which the entire bore is enlarged from 2-1/2" to 2-7/8" (32% airflow area increase) and larger butterflies are fitted.
		Since on one side of the engine the intake ports will be on the outside and the exhaust ports will be toward the center, one of the heads must be turned around backwards, and therefore some complicated fabrication work is required.
		In the basic bypass oil cooling system in the Jaguar V-12, only the oil that is relieved by the pressure relief valve is piped to the oil cooler in front of the radiator, and from there back to the intake of the oil pump.

	Jaguar V12 engine
		This layout was not unique to Jaguar and almost seemed to be a fashion in the early 1960s with BRM and Ferrari using it in Formula 1 and also Ford going the same way for their advanced 4 valve, 4 cam, Indy V8.
		Jaguar had to do a lot of work on the inlet port geometry to get the same specific power from the twin cam V12 as had been achieved with relative ease a decade or so before from the XK.
		The Broadspeed engines of the mid 1970s had shallow chambers formed in the cylinder head to various shapes, the most effective being yet another due to Cosworth, originally used on their F3 MAE engine of the 1960s, resembling an opened out version of the classic BMC / Weslake heart shape.

	THE JAGUAR AJ-V8 ENGINE / AJ6 Engineering
		Jaguar designed the engine in its entirety, it is manufactured in the UK, and a simplified variant is shipped over to the US where Lincoln install it in their LS model!
		Most modern engines use the four valve layout but as befits a project aiming for the best solution, Jaguar's engineers also considered alternative arrangements like the five valve configuration used so successfully by Yamaha on their high performance motor cycle engines.
		Strangely Jaguar have silenced the engine to the point where it is almost too quiet for a high performance car and the undoubtedly evocative note of the V8 is muted to the point where it is all but lost.

	JAGUAR XJS XJRS
		The XJ-S replaced the legendary Jaguar E-Type (or XK-E) in September 1975, and was based on the XJ saloon.
		With the introduction of the AJ6 engine in the XJS chassis came the availability of a 5-speed manual transmission for the 6 cylinder cars.
		The Hess and Eisenhardt convertible differed from the later Jaguar convertible XJS as it's unpadded top folded down deeper into the body structure of the car resulting in a cleaner rear profile when the roof was lowered.
