About the Jaguar XJ6 XJ40 Ebony Black Almost Real 1:18
TL;DR: Almost Real's 1:18 diecast Jaguar XJ6 XJ40 in Ebony Black reproduces Jaguar's 1986 luxury sedan flagship, the first full XJ redesign since the model's 1968 introduction, with opening doors, hood, and trunk. A detail-rich piece for classic Jaguar collectors.
The XJ40 marked Jaguar's first genuinely new XJ platform in nearly two decades, a significant undertaking for the marque, and Almost Real's diecast replica gives that historic redesign functional panels that reward close inspection.
Opening Panels on Jaguar's First New XJ Platform
With doors, hood, and trunk confirmed as opening, this XJ40 lets a collector explore the period-correct cabin and engine bay behind Jaguar's traditional long-hood, short-deck proportions, a genuine display advantage over a sealed showpiece. Zinc-alloy diecast construction supports that articulation reliably over years of handling, and Almost Real's tooling holds the XJ40's more angular, contemporary lines compared to the earlier Series III XJ with clean, functional panel gaps. The Ebony Black finish carries real gloss depth under a display lamp, appropriate for a subject whose formal, traditional British luxury character depends on that kind of finish quality.
The XJ40's Significance in Jaguar's Sedan History
Developing an entirely new XJ platform after nearly twenty years of the original design running through multiple series represented a genuinely major undertaking for Jaguar, and the XJ40's eventual arrival marked an important transition point in the marque's flagship sedan history. Displayed beside a later X300 or X350 XJ, the XJ40's more angular 1980s design language shows the model line's stylistic evolution clearly. The opening panels reward close inspection of period-correct cabin detail, appropriate for a subject whose interior craftsmanship was central to its luxury appeal. At this price tier, the piece sits in mid-tier diecast territory, offering genuine functional detail for a historically significant Jaguar subject.
