Is my car a XJ-S Cannonball ?

Recommended Posts

I have had my car for a while now and not managed to find out its history. So far I have found that its original owner worked for a company that was based in Australia. They brought the car with them to England in 1990 where unfortunately it was registered as a new car. I have tried Jaguar heritage but they told me it was the wrong engine size but I do not think it has its original engine in it.
The car has a plaque that is on the dash board saying Designed and tuned by Jaguar for the Cannonball Run.

Here are the cars details,

Make and Model :- Jaguar XJ-S "3.6 litre"
Body style :- Coupe right hand drive
DOB :- 25 October 1990 (not sure if correct)
Chassis no :- SAJ-JNAEC3CA 177421
Engine no :- 9DPAMA 194409
Body No :- 5X 009651
Gear Box :- 1304459
Transmission :- Automatic

Any help on the cars history would be greatly appreciated.​

Hi Andrew, and welcome to the cub.

 

I think that starting at the beginning is the best option.

 

There is a site called   VinDecoderz.com which should give you the details of your car when it left the factory.

 

Let us know how you get on, as you have a very interesting topic before you.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Hello

 

Thank you for your reply, I have entered the VIN number into the website that you have suggested but it tells me I have a 2012 XK which is very strange. I have checked the VIN to my Jaguars owner cert and it appears to be right.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi ANDYBROM

The Chassis number you have quoted 177421 is way after the Cannonball cars of which there were 11. 

Their Chassis numbers were around JNAEW3AC100280 March 1980 & were of course V12 engines not 3.6

And this is the Plaque that each has. 001 to 011

So I suspect what you have is false
