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. 👍

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!

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

Not alot of cars ooze class this is the exception

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.

Awesome job 👌

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....

Brilliant video Brilliant Detail ❤🚘.

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.

You guys do awesome work! That Jaguar looks beautiful

Yes, more things to check out and potentially replace! Thanks for the comment!

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...

Why not put some valve stem covers on?....No one does this

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.

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.

I don’t think Americans are in a position to talk about cars when they churn out such dross .

rinse the car from top down.........but clean the engine before removing the rats nest? lol sorry just thought that was funny

It's a jack wire

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!!!!!!

It's not a jaguar 😢 it a ford.. 😂 the last real jaguar is 1988.....
