- Hi Everyone,
This video captures our road trip adventure in the Highlands of Scotland with XJ40. The route is loosely based on the Highland 1000 route devised by Peter Simpson in his book "The Curved Road" that in turn features the popular North Coast 500 route. I tried to ensure that each day of driving was roughly equal but the further north we ventured, accommodation options became more limited for one night stays. That said, all of our booked accommodation was really good - so no complaints at all. I have included route updates for each day within the video for reference.
This video does contain some music that I feel is fitting and appropriate to the footage shot and edited together - I'm sure others will disagree. All music featured by uppbeat.io/browse/artist/phil... .

That XJ40 is living its best life. Great work, beautiful scenery!
Did a similar journey covering the north of Scotland .over 20 years ago in my old XJ81 (XJ40 6 litre V12). At a best of 20mpg it cost a fortune in petrol but a great car to whisk away the miles. Car long gone but memories remain.
What a great trip in a great car 👍
Great video thanks! A neighbour had one of these (same colour too) when I was about 10 and it was the first 'nice' car I got to sit in. I had seen Ferraris and Rolls in magazines but never been inside them. I was blown away by the beautiful cream leather, real wood and electric seats!
I have really enjoyed this video. Wish i could drive my XJ40 up there in the north of Scotland, that would make it happy.
I would recommend it for sure :)
Good video
I live in the highlands and drove a Daimler XJ40 for years. Perfect car for sweeping roads, no plod to worry about or speed cameras to spoil the fun.
Daimler XJ40 - bet that was stunning 👍
Amazing views! Thx so much for taking us viewers with you on this beautiful trip
Thank you. I hope it inspires others to take a trip around the Highlands 🙂
Did the same in the S-Type but in reverse, but utilising the site to mailage ferry. Great trip
We meet a blue S-Type ne on the way around. Followed us for a bit then shot past 🙂. Think it was an R not disimilar to mine.
Thanks for the Awesome video of your Lovely Jaguar XJ40 and the Beautiful Scenery of Scotland ❤.
Thank you. A great trip that I can highly recommend.
I absolutely love Jaguar xJ40.
those drone shots are amazing by the way.
Great video! Makes me want to take my Kimgfisher Blue XJ40 there!
It"s a great trip to do 🙂. Hoping to include some footage of your amazing XJ40 in my NEC Classic Motor Show video 🙂. It was a pleasure meeting and chatting with you and the guys and admiring your great collection of XJ40s 👍.
Great! Can’t wait to get my 1990 XJ on the road. Can you recommend a a good forum? Thanks.

Hope you get your car back on the road soon!
Great video! Btw, what type of fog lights are you running? I removed the stock ones on my '90 since they looked like a goofy afterthought but yours look slick. ❤
Thanks - they are integrated into the bumper much like the later x300 cars. I have to admit, I have not noticed if this is the same on earlier cars.
@@toooldclassics Ah, I see. Must have been similar to the facelift xjs. Regardless they look great. The earlier ones most certainly do not.
