So a guy on the other forum posted that he had an odd Vin on his xk8. I decided to check my xk8s and it came up xk8, but when I went to check the xjs’s, it comes up invalid Vin! I have tried on other sites and figured I had just gotten it wrong. I’m certain I have it right. Why would it be invalid? All my numbers match, and it has a clean title
Who says its invalid?!
Jaguar Vin decoder, and another recall site said “Jaguar\land Rover Vin invalid”
Is this a US spec car?
Besides that VIN, have you looked at the one stamped into the sheet metal just forward of the wiper grille? If a US car, how about the one on the tag at the left edge of the windshield?
Yeah all of the stamped and plated vins match. It’s LHD so I took for granted it’s a US car. When I added it to insurance, they had no problems knowing it was a 93 jaguar xjs. I’ll have to try other sites
The US VIN’s are different than the UK/Euro VIN’s. Perhaps the site you’re visiting is looking for a UK/Euro VIN. I don’t think the UK/Euro spec cars even have the VIN plate at the edge of the windshield, so if you have that I think that means a US-spec car.

I’ll have to check…
Ok nevermind. I just looked on two different sites and it comes up. Smh! Odd that my xk8 came right up, but the xjs didn’t
I ran into that problem with my X300. The North American VIN system is different from the European system.

Please notice that in your original post, you talked about XK8.
This VIN belongs to your 1993 XJS
Yes I know. I was saying that I looked up my xk8, then decided to look up my XJS. So yes, I do know that that one belongs to my XJS. Thanks though
