Hi
I have just popped over from the XJ40 listings as my mate is very
interested in buying a stolen and recovered X300 at an auction.
He has asked me if I could give him a complete break down the
vehicle VIN number for him so he can check the car out, but I don�t
have any books on the X300 (1997 XJ6)
The number is SAJJPALG3BP793383.
Your help would be gratefully received.–

Hi Colin,
here you go for X300 VINs … (from JWM Oct. 2003)
Characters 1-3 SAJ = Jaguar
Character 4 J = Jaguar
Character 5 J = XJ6 Executive
Character 6 A = Baseline
Character 7 L = 4 door std. wheelbase
Character 8 G = 3.2
Character 9 4 = auto LHD
Character 10 B = X300 95 - 97 model year
C = not listed by JWM (only R, S, T or V for Brazil
build years '94 - '97)
Character 11 H = emission system (to complicated to list - JWM words)
Characters 12-17 787954 onwards = 97 model year (you have given 868040)
Your character 10 being a C is not listed and 868040 would imply at
least 80086 X300s were built for 97 model year !!! Something odd here.

Perhaps given this has been stolen/recovered the thieves had
given it a false VIN ? worth checking all the VIN plates for
consistency and any signs of replacement (poor fixing etc).
Given it’s provenence I’d suggest your friend proceeds with
caution in case the vehicle is actually a ringer, in which case he
would lose all his money if police impound it for return to
rightful owner(s).–

The stolen/recovered auction is run by the insurance companies and
according to all of the paper work supplied all of the vehicles
have been fully checked out by the police.
All of the vehicles are classed as fully roadworthy. Most of the
vehicles for sale are those that have been recovered after the
owner had been paid out by the insurance company, but are far to
good to break.
I have just been down to the auction and double checked the vin
number and it was correct.–

Hi Colin, I had a similar problem and searched and found many
places and different keys to ‘‘decode’’ VIN #'s. As I said all appear
to be different.
The one below successfully ‘‘decoded’’ my 1996 3.2ltr, X300.
Example VIN#: SAJ JFAL G4BJ 759339
Characters 1-3 SAJ = Jaguar
Character 4 J = Jaguar and D = Daimler
Character 5 F = XJ6
(Type/model) H = Sovereign or XJ12
J = XJ6 Executive
K = Daimler 6, VDP, Daimler 66
P = XJR and XJ Sport
Character 6 A = Baseline
(market) K = Japan with airbags
M = Mexico (spec) with airbags
N = Canada with airbags
X = USA (spec) with airbags
Character 7 L = 4 door std. wheelbase
(Wheelbase) M = 4 door long wheelbase
N = 4 door long wheelbase
Character 8 D = 4.0
(engine) E = 4.0 (enhanced evap. system)
F = 4.0 supercharged
G = 3.2
L = 4.0 supercharged (enhanced evap.)
S = 6.0
Character 9 3 = auto RHD
(LHD/RHD-Man/Auto) 4 = auto LHD (Left Hand Drive)
7 = manual RHD
8 = manual LHD
Character 10 B = X300 95 - 97 model year
(buildyr/location) R = built 1994 (Brazil only)
S = built 1995 (Brazil only)
T = built 1996 (Brazil only)
V = built 1997 (Brazil only)
Character 11 Emission system (to complicated to list - JWM words)
Characters 12-17 720000 - 746817 = 95 model year
(serial No.) 746818 - 754303 = 95 1/2 model year
754304 - 787953 = 96 model year (759339=1996MY)
787954 onwards = 97 model year
