Hot Wheels Jaguar XJ40: Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
The Jaguar XJ40 is a Corgi-designed saloon casting that entered the Hot Wheels catalog through Auto-City. Its squared four-door body differs from the brand’s lower sports cars. The 1995 Auto-City police version is a specific release within the wider XJ40 casting history.
Jaguar XJ40 casting identity
The Auto-City XJ40 shares a base design with the Mercedes 2.6 190E, so identify the model from its name and markings rather than base shape alone. Auto-City examples can carry a Corgi or Hot Wheels base mark. Later XJ40s use different finishes and package lines.
1994–1995 Auto-City release context
Auto-City models were sold as a series of Corgi-designed 1:64 vehicles under Hot Wheels branding. The exact release is identified by the named casting, year, decoration, base, and package together. Later appearances of a related model should be treated as separate versions.
For package releases, compare the printed assortment and the full group of cars; a loose casting does not establish its original multipack on its own.
Value research
Compare the exact casting and decoration in the same condition. For carded examples, account for card and blister condition separately from the car. For loose examples, note wear, missing components, wheel condition, and base markings. Asking prices are not completed-sale evidence.
