JAGUAR XJ40 Corgi '80 Green 1:60 Made in Great Britain

The Jaguar XJ40 diecast model produced by Corgi is a representative example of collectible precision from the 1980s. The model combines a metal body with plastic, which contributes to its substantial feel and stable base. Colour: dark green paint with a yellow side stripe, black bumpers and white multi-hole wheels create a distinct contrast. The transparent windows allow a view of the interior, where dashboard and steering wheel details are visible; painted lights add realism. The bumpers are made of plastic integrated with the chassis, and the axles are sprung, enhancing its handling qualities. The length of 81 mm suggests a scale of approximately 1:60. The strongly contoured bonnet and subtle side pressings reflect the character of the XJ40, as do the understated roof rails and trim strips. The model does not aim to imitate modern standards, but retains the distinctive profile and proportions that make the diecast model look on the shelf like a miniature of a real car. The transparency of the windows and interior emphasises its authenticity without the need for modern additions. Overall, it conveys the atmosphere of an era when cars were displayed in model shops, and the bodywork details reward patient viewing from several angles.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
