About the Jaguar XJ6 XJ40 Flamenco Red Almost Real 1:18
TL;DR: Almost Real's 1:18 diecast Jaguar XJ6 XJ40 in Flamenco Red reproduces the 1986 sedan, Jaguar's first all-new XJ design since 1968. Doors and hood open on this zinc-alloy replica. A well-chosen subject for classic British executive sedan collectors.
The XJ40 carried enormous weight when it launched in 1986, since it was the first genuinely new XJ shape in nearly two decades, and Almost Real's Flamenco Red example puts that milestone on the shelf.
The XJ40's Significance for Jaguar
Jaguar's original XJ sedan had run, with updates, from 1968 all the way into the mid-1980s, so the XJ40 carried the burden of replacing a genuinely beloved shape without losing what made it work. It kept the traditional four round headlamps and long hood proportions while modernizing the cabin and structure underneath, a balancing act that defined British executive sedans of the period. Flamenco Red is a bold, traditional British sedan color, and on this diecast it gives the long doors and formal roofline a presence that a more subdued shade would not.
Construction and Opening Features
Almost Real builds this XJ6 in zinc-alloy diecast, giving it genuine heft that suits a full-size executive sedan rather than a compact sports car. The doors and hood open, revealing a simplified inline-six engine bay and formal four-seat cabin, letting a collector examine the car's proportions from angles a sealed body would not allow. Panel gaps sit at the wider tolerances typical of hinged diecast construction, a reasonable trade for the added display interaction.
Placing the XJ40 in a British Sedan Collection
This model pairs naturally with earlier Series III XJ diecast, letting a collector show the direct line from Jaguar's original 1968 shape through to this 1986 replacement, a genuinely important transition in the marque's sedan history.
