Horrible. The XJ40 was an ugly munter anyway but that's all wrong - the proportions just don't work.This coupe looks very Bentley Continental R in side profile, which is no bad thing.

I think the XJ40 is a great looking Jag, nicer than the x300 the preceded it. And I arguably prefer it to the S1 and S2.
That's between you and your optician! The XJ40 Coupe is a complete mess but you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. The roof is too tall, the rear quarter too short. The proportions are just all wrong.The X300 is probably the most successful facelift of all time, turning a car that looked like a plastic model of a 1978 Caprice that had got too close to a fire into a very pretty car. Good old Ford!
