Hi Laurence!

I first didn’t think my car had the elusive number, but after a thorough check I found three digits, i.e. 620, barely visible under the new resto paint from 2013. I’ve tried to take several photos as proof, but none of them are convincing. Unless later photography will give better photos, you’ll just have to take my word for it, or better yet come to Spain to see for yourselves 🙂

Dear Bleasie,
The elusive number on my cabriolet is 1143. It is an 86 3.6 5-speed (vin 126155), one of the few “gray market” 3.6 cabriolets that made it to the United States. Please let me know if you need any other info.
Thanks, Tom

Eureka, having poured over my nearside boot gutter 4455 is revealed for my 1987 XJ-SC RHD 3.6 Auto. Bleasie will be ecstatic! Trevor Kent

Not sure whether Dad managed to locate the number for his cabriolet. I am getting the car next week so will have a look

Hi Bleasie,
Mine looks to have 5036 stamped in it (hard to tell as the paint has filled in a lot of the first and third digits).
Cheers, Ian (VIN 147465)

Mine looks like 4063

Mine is 1730 🙂

A couple of Hidden numbers for you John

Hi Gang
Responding to the Elusive number game
my XJS Cabby in metallic red with reg number E739NVT and vin as per photo has the number 4151 on the nearside of the boot gutter
Regards Mike Hampton (of Aldwick Bognor Regis – not many Cabby owners south of us in UK!)

PS I tried copying in from WORD two photos of the 4151 and the VIN but it did not want to accept the photos from a WORD document. I have no idea howto include those so take my word the VIN is SAJJNACC7CA142922

My car, has 1770 as a lucky number:
VIN = 131892
Body = 5V 2103
And there’s another number, on the opposite side of the Body number: 2JB27D 0413021
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Evert

hi bleasie

got a weird one for you

my 3.6 cabby has the boot gutter number 1451

however the 4 has been overstamped with a 2

therefore it could be 1251

does this make it worth millions like a misshapen penny black or just a typo from the bodywork man

cheers eddie

i was hoping for a lottery win with the typo but never mind

I was out in the cold garage a while ago, and found the magic number. Clearly stamped- 3888.
Regards, Dave W.

My 85 XJSC Australian delivered V12’s number is 1252 SAJJNACY3CC126830. One off Eddie Panton’s 1251. Is there a pattern here? Regards Martin

Hi my elusive no =

Hi Bleasie,
Mine has 2616 stamped in it, VIN 134597. Unfortunately I can’t add a picture.

I have an early cabriolet, registered in August 1984. This number is 382.

Greetings,

My Elusive number is 4601 stamped into the left rear drain trough.  The plate under the rear bumper is 5Y 4365.   Should they be the same?

Thank you,

Steve Moore

Hi Everyone

The number stamped in the gutter of my boot is #2283, I’d be interested to learn where that dates my Jaguar XJS-C in the production schedule?  I thought it was either a late 1985 or an early 1986?  I’ be interested to learn where it fits.

Best to all,
