Badged as XJ6 or Sovereign the term XJ40 was used by Jaguar, during the 1970's developement stages. There were also Daimler, Sport, Majestic, Gold and a TWR tuned XJR variants available during the models lifetime as well as a the rare twin turbocharged Chasseur. All vehicles were fitted with variants of the new Jaguar AJ6 straight six engine initially as a 2.9 ltr. SOHC or a 3.6 ltr S6 DOHC.
The Sovereign model came equipped with significantly more features than the base XJ6. Included was air conditioning, headlamp washers, a six-speaker sound system, rear self-levelling suspension (SLS), anti-lock braking system, and inlaid burl walnut wood trim (pre-MY1991). The headlamps fitted were the rectangular single units. The window frames were made from stainless steel
Amongst changes for the 1989-90 model year these engine sizes were increased the 2.9 becoming 3.2 and the 3.6 becoming 4.0 ltr. Together with the replacement of the electronic dashboard instrumentation, replaced by an analogue system. Further revisions were made for the 1992-93 season including a passenger air bag unfortunately located in the position of the passenger glove box, meaning late models had to do without the glove box
Transmission was supplied by a four speed ZF Automatic manually governed in the 2.9, 3.2 and 3.6 but governed by the ECU in the 4.0 ltr. A five speed Gertag manual box was also available.
For the 1993 season Jaguar produced a 6.0ltr V12 XJ40 which replaced the series 3 XJ12 which was essentially a bored out 5.3ltr. The XJ40 continued production until 1994 when it was replaced by the X300 series
