I worked at the factory that did all the chrome plating for Jaguar. Walsall in the west Midlands. UK. The exterior parts were plated to a very high specification. Capable of passing 400 hundred hours Neutral Salt Spray test. The parts would be hung in a cabinet and continously sprayed with a warm salt mist and checked daily for sign of corrosion or breakdown of the plated surface. 24 hrs in a NNS is equal to 1 year outdoor exposure. To achieve this standard they are plated with 35/40 microns of copper which is then highly polished to a mirror finish removing any blemishes, pits or holes in the deposit. They are then given a "Duplex" Nickel coating which means a double coat. 1st coat is a dull or semi bright deposit which is applied to 25/30 microns and is a very ductile and flexible deposit that provides the levelling of the deposit. Next the Bright nickel deposit gives us the decorative appearance. This is thin deposit of 10/15 microns because the chemical make up of the bath makes a bright deposit brittle and not very ductile so a thick deposit would be prone to cracks and stress lines in service. Next is a very thin microporous nickel, so thin it cannot be measured. It is deposited with a fine organic powder which gets co deposited to form Millions of pores in the deposit. This slows down effect of "current corrosion" which occurs when multiple layers of metal are deposited on each other creating a electrical current in the deposit which over time corrode the deposit. Finally an equally thin layer of Hexavalent chrome is plated. Giving the beautiful "blue" deposit that gives the part its final look. I have recently retired from 49 years in the Electroplating/Electrophoretic paint/powder coat industry. I have worked mainly in the automotive /aerospace industry producing part for Jaguar /Rolls Royce /Boeing/Airbus /MOD /Mclaren/Aston Martin. Whenevrr I see a car that I have been involved with the plating of the parts. I always have to go an look at the exterior parts to see if they have stood the test of time. So far I've not been disappointed. 👍
strange that the chrome rusts as hell compared to Mercedes Benz, VW or BMW Chrome of the 1970s and 80s! Maybe the Jag Steel was soviet like Fiat and Peugeot
@@Schlipperschlopper No it doesn’t! I own a 94 XJ40 Sovereign, and it has no issues. By contrast, here in England 🏴 most Mercs & BMW’s are rotten.
From a neglected old Jaguar into a gleaming proud Jaguar. I live in the UK and am now on my tenth Jaguar. Not managed to buy an XJ40 yet but maybe one day. I sure wish I had inherited that example, its a keeper!
My favorite Jag design, this car never got the love it deserves. This car is amazing to drive and very beautiful. I think many people who owned one didn't take good care of them.
Amazing work, absolutely fantastic. Only thing that I dont like is the music that kills the vibe of classy gentleman's car like this Jag. There must have been more suitable music for this beautiful car. Keep up with good work guys!
I used to not care for the XJ40...both the Series III XJ6 and the X300 were much better looking. But as time goes by, I find the old XJ40's growing on me. That one looks beautiful in that shade of green. And by 1994, Jaguar had all the gremlins exorcised from the design, and these and the later X300s were incredibly reliable. If I could find one in this shade of green with the 6.0L V12, I would be very tempted....
I also have a 1994 XJ40. Same wheels and trim (base model) but in Regency Red. BRG was my first choice but couldn't find one back in 2007 so I bought it in red which was my 2nd color choice. The top of the headrests tells how much time the car spent out in the sun. These headrests are pretty flat on the top. Mines have horns on them because the leather shrank.
I sill think the 1970s one series Jaguar was the best one in the UK I had 3or4 of them but I loved the 70s one. Love your videos here in the UK thanks. Jeff in UK
Rear hub bearings are making a noise , if I have not heard correctly. Prior to driving this car, you should have lift it up, grease both axles and open and re pack with fresh grease those bearings. If this car has been sitting for a long time , grease has been dried up. Also keep attention to center support shaft bearing, already at 30 years old, you need to care for it if you plan to keep it. If you try to " get rid of it" please do not pass a neglected car to another owner who will be bankrupted trying to fix what was not fixed at that age.
It’s been in a barn for at least 25 minutes! Trying to pass this off as a barn find is equivalent to assuming your collectors edition Kit-Kat is worth something. 😶
The detailing was done at our home office in Chicago, IL were 303 Products are manufactured so there was no "charge". How much would you charge for a detail like this?!
Early model XJ40's rust pretty badly. My father owned an '88 Sovereign and an '87 Daimler and spent huge amounts on them. After a number of years both were in bad shape, the Daimler having rotted completely through. Later models - '90 onward - were way better.
I don't know why I see so many people who do not foam a car FIRST, BEFORE spraying HIGH PRESSURE water on it. Doing this first softens hard dirt particles and lubricates the paint surface PRIOR to high pressure. When you spray high-pressure water directly on a car that is dirty, you scratch the paint with micro scratches. Just saying...
I would like to say I'll buy it, but alas I would be unwilling to say what I would pay. If the owner wants to sell I would like to know what they want for it.
According to the federal HESCHLAVVO law, it is already forbidden in Switzerland to drive combustion engines on mountain passes from 2025. In France, the SCHLABOUBVE regulates that fossil vehicles that produce fine dust are prohibited in all cities from 2025. The BABVVO in Germany will bann exhaust gas pollution from 2027 and that is what will happen in entire EU also bann of all tires and brakes because of fine dust!!!!!!
This would probably have been an interesting video if the presenters looked at the camera and not the walls. Don’t know why “directors” think it make the video interesting. It’s very off putting lasted 90 seconds before I switched off.

So tell me. Do you feel respected. When you drive it ?

i used to have a jaguar xj40 3.2s, god i loved that car !

nah bro, there are tons of youngtimers with rectangular headlamps... a classic XJ needs Oo (||||||) oO
@@jaromor8808 Then you keep them. I don't need them. Lol, I like the rectangular headlights for myself thank you.
@@jaromor8808 You know. I have changed my mind. You are right about the circular headlights.
Early version had the rounds
This model great balance between old and new I agreed unappreciated
Not alot of cars ooze class this is the exception
I absolutely love the generation of jaguars
The - Jag - you - arr - certainly looks good.
Well said, my teeth grind every time I hear jag-waaar
Americans cannot pronounce it correctly.
you'll never see such elegant styling ever again.... and that green is an outstanding color for the Jaguar
Great job saving this one! I drive a 99 XJR and I love it.
Great episode! We love to see a barn find and the transformation after its detailed! 👏
🧡
Amazing work, absolutely fantastic. Only thing that I dont like is the music that kills the vibe of classy gentleman's car like this Jag. There must have been more suitable music for this beautiful car.
Keep up with good work guys!
Agree. The music chosen distracts and detracts from the otherwise very good presentation.
Great clean and detailing of this Jaguar XJ40 era XJ6😎
Thank you for watching!
I love both my Jaguar XJs
that was great to watch. It never gets boring to see a dusty old car shine again.
Thanks for watching!
I’m from Coventry England,this made my day ❤
Thanks for watching! Greetings from Chicago!
A Coventry Cat!
Great job!! Now it’s a PRETTY paperweight. 😂😂
the condition of the wheels gives it away as a a car you covered with dust to create a "barn find". correct me if I'm wrong
Awesome job 👌

Brilliant video Brilliant Detail ❤🚘.
Love the JAAAG 👍👍❤️❤️
Great viewing,nice car.
i prefer the version with 4 round headlights
So the Series 3 xj6 ? Sovereign or base model
@@Iwishiwasflying I find the 1995 Jaguar XJR to be the best looking sedan ever followed by the BMW 7 series e38

Thank you - we appreciate that! And thank you for watching!
So satisfying 🎉
We agree. Stay tuned for more 303 Car Care episodes!
Nice Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.... S2
Aerospace FTW
Beautiful commercial
Gorgeous 🥰
My seats dont have headrest like those. Did he change them? Mine is from 1989 and headrest are the worst part of the amazing car....

What steam cleaner did you use? Curious of make and model. thanks. Car looks great!
Thank you! We used a Wagner Spraytech Steam Cleaner.
Quelle voiture ! Ce n'est pas du toc comme la plupart que l'on voit en circulation. La grande classe !
great
Jag needs to go back to that design.
They will
It's a JAAAAAG
what is her fuel milleage liter/km?
Sweet Jag! How much will it be sold for?
We appreciate that! If you could buy it, how much would you pay?
Jaggwarrrr
Pretty city. Which one
Lovely, wat colour code is this please?
The paint code is HFB. Brooklands Green.
Pinned up drooping headliner.
It’s been in a barn for at least 25 minutes!

Because in 1990 Ford took control and ported the rust to the 1996 Ford Ka and out of the JAG
They rust well put on under seal we lost a lot here through rust Jeff in uk.
Grandmama had this car until 2003 for a 2003 Jaguar X Type in Navy Blue. She thinks she is the lady of house speaking 👒
Robert Gălușcă?😊
Mr. Galuska.. Don't you come from somewhere in Slovakia by any chance? Your surname is definitely from Central Europe
Why not put some valve stem covers on?....No one does this
Nice advert.
Headliner and shocks require attention , shock float too much and headliner is bagging too much Just a suggestion,don’t get mad !
Yes, more things to check out and potentially replace! Thanks for the comment!
Jagwaar. Joke aside, fantastic work guys!
I bought a couple of neglected cars in the last years. I would never start washing a car. Especially not the engine.
Like of what you do
Jag leather was always better than the Germans
The music in this upload…..😮

This is an infomercial
It’s not pronounced “JAGWAR “ it’s actually pronounced “ JAG-YOU-ARE “ .
The correct pronunciation is Jagwire.
@jsz2619 You're kidding, right?
@@joycerichardson1810 Yes. It's Jagwar.
Thank you, Colin. You're correct!
And Volx Var Gn not Wargen or Wagon.

31シーマみてえだなぁ！
what's a jag waaaaaar?
Is that not an XJ40, rather than a xj6?
It is a XJ40 generation XJ6.
Sovereign with the rectangular light's. They are rare
There is no such thing as a Jagwar.
I would like to say I'll buy it, but alas I would be unwilling to say what I would pay. If the owner wants to sell I would like to know what they want for it.
😌
Nice…it’s pronounced….Jaaaaaaaag! 😂
Great video but really, clear out a rats nest without precautions, face mask for all the toxic dust disturbed which you breath in
I don’t think Americans are in a position to talk about cars when they churn out such dross .
Music is too intense 😵💫

rinse the car from top down.........but clean the engine before removing the rats nest? lol sorry just thought that was funny
Repair your roof cloth!😢

You switched off the Jag?
It's a jack wire
Why do Americans struggle to say Jaguar pronounced “JAG-YOU-ARE “ 😂
Base model for year, worth about 500 quid over here.ANd it's pronounced JAG U ARE! not jagwar ffs.
500 quid, for this lovely sunday ride.
Lighten Up Francis!
Cool story bro
You mean pile of shit and rust 500 quid jag? Because this one seems mint.
🤔🤏
This is just overcomplicating a simple job. And a 4 camera set up....
It's not a jaguar 😢 it a ford.. 😂 the last real jaguar is 1988.....
This car originally came out in 1986 so it's the last BL Jaguar.
Its pronounced Jaguar not jagwar, try again J A G U A R .
