You can obtain the production records on your Jaguar.  Quoting from the application form:  “A JDHT Heritage 
Certificate is a Certificate which gives all the relevant information on your car taken from the original records.  It will 
confirm the original build numbers and colour scheme, give the dates of build and despatch, as well as the original 
destination of the car.  Where recorded, the name of the first owner and the original registration mark are also included 
on the Certificate.” 

Cost is ₤30.00 as of mid-2001.  You must provide a photocopy of your registration or some other proof of ownership or 
existence of the car.

From Brian Sherwood:  “I recently sent for a certificate for my ’84 XJ-S from JCNA, trying to confirm that several 
pieces of optional equipment were factory or TWR options.  

 

1. 

You have to send them all the eng/trans/body/VIN numbers- they will “verify” them (?). 

 

2. 

Took six weeks to receive reply. 

 

3. 

Certificate does not say anything about optional equipment.  Doesn’t even say what dealer initially 
sold the car. 

“Unless you have a collector’s class early car (XK, etc.), save your money for parts.”
